Post-Game Talk: GAME 15 - Marchand wins it in OT - BRUINS 4 Calgary 3 F/OT

[Hookslide]

We are only paying Korp 3 million on the cap.
Freddy needs to improve his game. He needs to be more than a fourth liner.
Geekie where are you?

Geekie is scratched and I am assuming Beecher was bench 6 minutes, but the real question is Elias where are you ?

LOL Korpisalo is one odd dude.

He's a goaltender. It comes with the territory.

 

[BMC]

I think it was Hampus Lindholm's best game. It looks like he's finally 100% healthy, he is playing more & more like he did when he first joined the Bruins. Great to see him score a goal. I'd like to see the defensemen shoot more just to keep the goalies honest.

Charlie Coyle continues to improve, he made another nice pass on Koepke's goal.

Korpi's still a work in progress but in Goalie Bob I trust. Overall he does play better each game and that is what matters.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Bruins scoring 4 goals was great, but how they scored was even better.

Someone actually made a play to someone else who finished it. Pasta set up H Lidholm, Pasta setup Zacha, Coyle setup Koepke, E Lindholm setup Marchand. No broken plays, lucky bounces off someone else's butt. Good passes, on the tape, handled and deposited.

Still, goalie gives up a bad goal 20 seconds after they take a lead. Can't score on the power play. Captain takes a bad penalty; PK can't kill it. Blew 2 goal lead in third period.

Frederic moved to the 4th line, ends up -2. Koepke a +1 playing with Coyle line. May be time for Freddy to have a seat upstairs. Seems to drag down every line he plays on.

Speaking of Lindholm, that was some kind of awful goaltending on his goal last night, eh?

Looking at just the picture, it definitely looks like the goaltender had money on Lindholm scoring the first goal of the game.

 

[Ladyfan]

Dumb penalties, see Loheri and Marchand, oh its ok he scored in the OT that should not have been, and he is the Captain.

The penalty on Brad was LAME

never heard of the guy before this year, epitome of keeping it simple. Look at his goal last night, does precisely what every amateur coach asks of a player as they navigate through their development years, drive to the post, stick on the ice, boom

I had never heard of him either but am thrilled with his play so far

Marchand speaking postgame about chemistry building with Elias lindholm---I definitely think we are starting to understand where each other goes .More reps we get it will come but the way Montgomery coaches ,he changes lines alot so could change at any point.but you are always trying to find chemistry as quick as u can with linemates.

Geekie is scratched and I am assuming Beecher was bench 6 minutes, but the real question is Elias where are you ?

4 assists last 5 games.Its tough the way Monty shifts things steady

He's been good- a smart, responsible, skilled player. With all the players that have been less than great so far this season, Elias has been a bright spot of consistency.

 

[PlayMakers]

4 points in his last 5 games. Set up the OT winner with a hit and takeaway behind the net. Has played great defensively all season.

That's where he is.

 

[weaponomega]

Thought that was Pastrnak's best game of the season. Still not playing at his best, but he was so much better. Around the puck all night, dangling defenders, driving to the net. Can't comment on the line combos yet, but the top 6 looked much better.

 

[lopey]

If we can shore up pk and get pp going we should improve. And my god be more disciplined
Oh and Freddy should be traded.

 

[PB37]

Yes, I watched the game.

I don't comment on the game if I don't watch (which would be a rarity).

Bottom line, +1 is good. Does not mean Charlie played a great game. Or even a good one.

By the way, does it say on the stat sheet that McAvoy was caught way up ice on the tying goal?

Bad break there for everyone on the ice. Coyle made a good play to transition into the offensive zone and it looked like the Bruins were going to have a good scoring chance and extend the lead but he blew a tire. Sometimes shit happens.

answer honestly, do feel you are getting 8 mil worth out of this guy, honestly, I don't.

Salaries are on the rise as is the cap. He is getting $7.7m, which is about market-value for a top 6 center (and you'll always overpay a bit for a UFA). He'll get you 60+ points, plays a strong defensive game, is consistent, and wins faceoffs. What do you think the price tag for that should be?

I think he's been one of the better forwards for the team so far. Its only 15 games into his contract, so I'm not too worried about a luke warm production start that's been a team wide problem which has also hurt the numbers of one of the best point producers in the game ( Pasta ).

Chemistry takes time

That's where he is.

Are we saying he's producing like a 1C nearly 8 million dollar player? He's been on the ice for 2 5v5 goals. Disappointment thus far.

 

[nORRis8]

I think Korpisalo's cap hit is only $3 mil.

He signed in 2023 , 5 year deal, 20 mil
So he's locked in till 2027-28.

3 mil would be an absolute steal

You are mistaken. It's 3.

Ottawa retained.

 

[bruinmann77]

That was a must win last night blowing a 2 goal lead at home. Terrible call on Marcy but he has to know better with his reputation but great effort by all on the ice for the Winning goal. Korpi had a nice solid game and came up with Big saves. Monty like Brick said need to jell with two guys together ate least then find that 3 guy to fit.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Off subject, but Marchand is rounding into form. Other than that, status quo low mediocrity. Elias, who is streaky is having a good stretch.

Is Tyler Johnson showing any signs of life ?
