Post-Game Talk: Game 18 - Bruins lay a brontosaurus egg in Manhattan - NYR 6 Boston 2 F

The sky is officially falling.

You catch how many goals the Bruins gave up the last two nights?

He has nice offensive instincts. I’m talking about defense. Keeping the puck out of your own net. He isn’t a capable top-4 guy (yet) he needs to be sheltered. So you pointing out that he had a nice offensive play is useless.

Agree.

**** JOHN MOORE CURSE UPDATE ****

Over the last two seasons the Bruins are 43-7-8 without him in the lineup. That's an 82 game pace of 133 points, good for #1 all-time.

With him in the lineup they are 12-12-6. That's an 82 game pace of 82 points.

Studnicka is showing promise.

You’re just another long line of posters on here that has a lot of posts but has no idea what you are watching. The Bruins shelter Zboril when everyone is healthy, watch the games, you might learn something.

He/she is a long time, knowledgeable poster, that's just an ignorant comment.

Cut the dead wood.
Kuraly, Wagner, Moore should be gone, pronto.

They are 4th liners & extra D man.Fix the areas that need fixing and let them guys play the role they are suppose to play.Cassidy needs to iron some things out and stop looking for offence with them.I am not a fan of using Pastrnak etc with Kuraly.Your just burning more of his energy that way.Know your roles and stick with it.

Did anyone else realize that February 4th 2020 was the last time Kase scored a goal?

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Ah yes my favorite annual “CASSIDY IS ON THE HOT SEAT!!!” talk after a two game losing streak

Right on cue with the Claude is free chant. Guy was not very good his last year here.

Cassidy came in and saved that year going 18-8-1. Claude was 26-23-6 and they were headed for a spot out of the playoffs. @BlackFrancis

The Play of the game was Stud coming right in to defend Marchy.

Play of the game was the dive by Smith giving the Rangers a power play that changed the game

I know excactly what I’m watching and Zboril wasn’t the problem today. If that what you think is the problem, I doubt you know more than me.

How many games will it take for the bruins to be concerned?

The coach will always be under the microscope. Cassidy of all people knows this all to well.

Nobody is saying he's on the hot seat but you would be fooling yourself to believe he's not being monitored. How are we to know if he's lost the players? Only the players and GM know that with certainty.

Quickly looking at his TOI in the game logs, I’m not seeing anything that stands out as “sheltered”. He seems to get time with every RH defenseman.

Part of the problem, which is what my initial post was. Playing above his head. It’s his first season in the NHL, he needs to be on the 3rd pair with a stout defensive partner.

There are a lot of guys in similar situations, playing above their head and the results are what they are.

He thanks you.

 

[DiggityDog]

Crappy couple of games.

Looking forward to seeing how they respond on Sunday.

 

[Blowfish]

Well at the very least he's calling out the right players and by middle does he mean middle of a tightrope whereby he can tip towards Providence or Boston?

 

[Root]

Quickly looking at his TOI in the game logs, I’m not seeing anything that stands out as “sheltered”. He seems to get time with every RH defenseman.

He plays on the third pair and gets a lot of offensive zone starts. He has been sheltered when everyone is healthy. It’s not a big deal for a first year defensemen, but it is the truth.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Sorry, not seeing it

Just like the game you're watching

Kuraly and Wagner tonight.

25 mins of ice (Kuraly with 14 due to PK)
No points.
1 shot on goal.
Minus 4.
5 hits.
1 blocked shot.
3 and 11 in faceoff dot.

That’s not cherry picking either. Pretty consistent over a period of time.

What happened to them? And more importantly, I get we don’t have 30 goal scorer waiting to get in lineup, but do we not have a couple of energy guys that can step in to give th3m some time in the press box? That’s what they need.

I won’t argue with that. Is he playing good enough so that you forget Chara?

Okay, I'll find the post mortem, but I missed it all. How bad was it?

So he doesnt suck then?

I must say that I was 100% wrong about Moore. I thought that he was a really decent pick up when they got him. I was mind blowingly WRONG!

Side note: I was at that flames game with my father in law. Game was a stinker but we were four rows back from behind the flames net. Closest Ive ever sat. One of my last fun pre-covid events.


Anyways, this too shall pass!

Looking forward to getting out of this funk. The last two games were bizarro world Baskin-Robbins games: 31 flavors of awful.
