Post-Game Talk: GAME 11 - BRUINS now 10-1 as they beat NYR 5-2

Montgomery is a complete 180 from Cassidy. His postgame interview is all about rewarding the players, none of the tossing them under the bus.

I didn't listen to the post game, but obviously haha. The teams 10-1.
Teams rollin'. I love it

SN Now stream was brutal to watch though

 

[22Brad Park]

He is some player .There was a play there in 3rd Bruins protecting lead where puck came back to him at blueline and he kept the puck to same side instead of trying the cross ice to other D man.And the opposing forward had pressure on him to but he ate it took the bump and just kept it in long enough for others to get back .Not a flashy play but smart & that's how you go 10-1..Really playing great hockey.

 

[22Brad Park]

Not to be a wet blanket, but didn't Montreal start last season 10-1? No doubt this BRUINS team is good, but this injury epidemic has got to stop. Btw, does anyone here know anything about the new back-up goalie Kinkaid?

Kinkaid is a solid backup for sure .I watched him have some good starts .Bruins are deep in Nets. Keyser can keep eating minutes in AHL to.

I notice that Butch isn't doing too bad at Vegas. I also remember the BRUINS accumulated 107 points last season with Butch as coach. Personally, I liked Cassidy and in his 6 years as head coach the BRUINS reached the PO's 6 times.
Perhaps some of us can just wish Cassidy the best and quit taking cheap shots at him.

I don't see many fans questioning Cassidy's coaching abilities or winning pct., but rather his willingness to blame certain players for losses by throwing them under the bus the last two years.

Instead of him having the player's backs, they had to watch their backs...and that’s what spelled the beginning of the end for Butch in Boston.

It all comes down to having respect for one another and trusting one another if an organization is going to be successful ....when Cassidy lost both, he had to go

 

[Bruinator]

The Fox goal I think he would have wanted back.

Perfect snipe off the post. Full credit to the shooter. Hardly a weak goal by any means.

 

[22Brad Park]

Anyone know how many games it took for the Bruins to get to 50 goals last season?

16 games to pass 50 goals

The Ducks didn't trade away a good player, they traded away a cornerstone.

Speaking of possession numbers, here's an article from 2017 about Lindholm: The Most Underrated Defenseman. This shows the longevity of his play in the league and that it didn't just sprout in Boston.

Lindholm had been carrying Anaheim's defense, especially during the past few years of the Ducks' rebuild. Just how underrated is Lindholm? Last year, he was babysitting 19-year old rookie RHD Drysdale as the top pairing all season long until the TDL. Lindholm was a +0 rating in 61 games for the Ducks and Drysdale finished a team worst -26 in 81 games.

Now, he's on a more veteran-laden playoff team on the East Coast and the green light to more offensive (no more babysitting rebuilds). I'm so happy for Magnus and the Bruins. And to think, y'all aren't playing on a full 8-cylinders yet too. When y'all get healthy, just how much more scarier can the Bruins become?!

True, from just inside the blue line that he saw coming the whole way. I though for how great he’s been playing it was one of his weaker goals.

It’s okay though he’s not gonna stop them all, he’s been incredible.

He has played 167 nhl games with a 2.92 GAA and a 0.905 save percentage in his career. Great player to have as a third string goalie

 

[HumBucker]

I love how we're getting contributions from throughout the lineup, especially from the bottom 6 forwards, led by Coyle and the rejuvenated Foligno, with solid role-player contributions from Greer, Lauko, Frederic and Nosek. And to think when Krejci is healthy, add Zacha to that group.

I really hope, longterm, a third line of Zacha, Coyle and Frederic/Greer can get some serious chemistry. That's a great combo of grit, size, possession and skill.

Imagine if Sweeney is able to trade Reilly+Smith for more defensive depth.

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

Lindholm good - again. Pasta was on fire tonight. Loved his effort level even if he didn't light it up. Frederic was good. Finally seems to have found his role. Ullmark solid. Not brilliant, but good.

Lastly, are there ANY Foligno haters left?

(Minnesota's falling apart, maybe we can get Marcus off them before the deadline for a double shot )

Gross. Montreal lost their first 5 games and were 3-8 after 11 games. They didn't win their 10th game until Febuary, lol.

I think we Bruins fans owe a debt of gratitude to Jamie Drysdale for suppressing Lindholm's numbers/performance, because that contract he signed here is looking like a cornerstone defenseman with a deal smack dab moneywise between two cornerstone players' eight year contracts signed by the Bruins eight and five years ago - Bergeron and Marchand.

I was gobsmacked thinking about that contract tonight and what this friggin' guy is doing. He signed for a few bucks more than David Backes did half a decade ago. Madness.

Best wishes to the Ducks, and specifically Drysdale. Hope he comes back strong from the torn shoulder and helps lead your lads back to better days.

It shows on the ice. They're playing like there's a giant weight off their backs.

 

[bobbyorr04]

After reading the NYR GDT they all want Pasta taken out.

Pasta was just trying to even out the lopsided Rick Nash trade

[bruinshoper]

Don Sweeney is a great GM. What a team he has built. I can’t believe they are doing this without Krecji and McAvoy. Absolutely absurd.

Lindholm is a huge reason Boston is weathering all these injuries .I hope ya'll strike gold on those picks.

 

[Alan Ryan]

It’s not Felger. Probably Jones. Anyone that calls in that even starts to debate him or call him out for being wrong he cuts them off or mutes them lol

Why does anybody listen to that stuff?

 

[Bridges31]

Why does anybody listen to that stuff?

Idk. I never had before. Definitely won’t again.

 

[caz16]

Another thoroughly entertaining game. Imagine adding Charlie and DK back into the line-up. Wow.....this is so much fun.

I think Lindgren probably hurt himself more by throwing those two hits before Pasta hit him back. There was nothing wrong with Pasta's hit, it was worth the penalty and changed the tone as mentioned. Loved the fights!

I love that Uncle Nick is filling in for Sway with the hugs.

 

[Alicat]

After reading the NYR GDT they all want Pasta taken out.

Im pretty sure that Lindgren hit Bergeron right after the Pasta hit so to blame Pasta for his concussion is tunnel vision on their part. Wanting Pasta hurt is pathetic and speaks volumes of that board and the individual poster.

Not sure I’ve ever seen a head coach that hyped for a goal, in a midweek regular season game, not even an OT tally. Monty goes nuts and Chris Kelly is stone faced.

So perfect

Quintessential Chris Kelly and it’s awesome and absolutely hilarious
