Post-Game Talk: GAME 18 - Stars 7 Bruins 2

[DaStinger]

the pasta haters are thoses bruins type player groupies ! they would trade him for 3 more coyle ))))
you know this mentality who
won 1 cup in 52 years

And there's those that get too attached to a player and would rather hold on to "their guys" as opposed to getting back pieces to rebuild the team. Either they will trade a big contract or two or we are prepping for another 73-2006 type of long term mediocrity.

My HVAC friend came over last night to get our furnace ready for another winter ....so I missed the game

Was there ANYTHING worth watching??

Sigh. I've got nothing. I'm trying to believe there's a light at the end of this tunnel. I just don't see it yet.

nope, sad too

Seems odd that in a post-game thread after a loss there isn't any crapping on the refs. So I will address the two big calls.

Dallas gets a penalty shot when Lohrei is called for mauling from behind. On the replay in slo-mo it looks like he did a great job stopping the breakaway. But the ref doesn't see the reply and in real time it looked like Lohrei impeded from behind and stop Dadonov from getting a shot off. Thought they did the Bruins a favor calling a penalty shot, thinking better chance of Swayman stopping it than Bruins PK killing it.

Carlo boarding a completely different story. Refs get to see the replay. Calling that a minor is unjust. The definition of a hit that needs to be taken out of the game. No excuse for that one.

Carlo and Lohrei, the two victims, both ended the game at -3. Zadorov, Pasta, Zacha, Geekie all at -2.
Pasta with 5 giveaways, but he got his meaningless goal.

Unfortunately, the Bruin player with the most energy was Patrick Brown. His 4 hits led the team and he was the only forward with 2 blocks. Brazeau led the team with 4 shots on goal.

You won’t get far with only 3 players on pace for 40+ points and one of those on pace for only 41.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

What a crap game and those Dallas announcers were morons.

 

[DaStinger]

What??

In case you weren't watching 1973-2006 was an awful stretch of mostly boring, not fun to watch hockey with a brief contender window in the early nineties.

Not to be rude, but clearly don't know what you are talking about.

Look at the teams Korpi has played against....Flyers twice who are awful...Korpi has a .973 against them...saw a total of 38 shots vs them in TWO games. Sway saw 38 last night alone. Korpi played well vs Calgary hats off he played real well. Against Colorado, Florida, Carolina he has a .853 save percentage. So against the crap teams he has played well. Against the "good teams" he is .853.

Swayman isnt playing great but it's a team issue. No matter what goalie on the planet played for the Bruins last night they weren't winning that game.

Also, Philly lit up Ullmark last night. Its a long season so give it to Dec 1.

 

[NeelyDan]

I feel that way abut almost everything in life right now.


Not Pasta

for me - and I understand I may be in a minority - explicitly pasta - and honestly, that's (potentially) as much for him as it is for the betterment of the team

Dec 1? I`m watching a team this year who vs mediocre teams barely squeak out wins and vs teams likely to be in the playoffs get outplayed badly

The body language of this team is putrid, total lack of execution , zero systems adjustments by Monty, on ice personnel just isn`t playing anywhere near the level they are capable of

Blame to spread everywhere but it`ll be Monty who`ll take the overall brunt of it and IMO, this needs to happen soon, this team looks nothing like one that belongs on the ice vs decent teams

Does a new coach change that? No clue, I look at Monty`s body language and his own words, remember the "no answers" comment a few games back? He`s checked out, the team`s checked out, December 1st might be far too late

 

[KillerMillerTime]

I feel like if this was happening in the Chara/Bergeron days, we would have heard about a players-only meeting at this point.

They DNQ 2 years in a row with in prime 63, 37, 46, & 40. Also had a young 88 and a past prime but still ok 33.

There shouldn't be hand-wringing every time we lose a game. A 49.3% deserve-to-win against a team like the Stars is reason for optimism. The Stars' first 2 goals were due to bad reffing, and most of their goals on the night were attributable to bad goaltending.

Nope . You built a team around him.

And there's those that get too attached to a player and would rather hold on to "their guys" as opposed to getting back pieces to rebuild the team. Either they will trade a big contract or two or we are prepping for another 73-2006 type of long term mediocrity.

Of course.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Who are the keepers, long term?

Pastrnak
McAvoy
H. Lindholm
Swayman

That light you see might be an on coming train. Bruins are in a funk. Last night proved its not goal tending. It's a total team thing. Even firing the coach won't fix the issues. The powers that be up in the sky box looking down have to make a impacting type of change to shake things up. No other choice.

 

[Otherworld]

Said to my wife that the game was going to be heavily lopsided in the Stars favour before puck drop.

You can tell. The team is lacking in every faucet of the game. They are playing not to lose. Monty will be gone before the end of 2024.

Thing is, I am not sure it changes anything..........

While true the other issue is the Bruins still only managed 2 goals. That is its own separate massive problem.

 

[DavidK]

Hmm, our deserve-to-win last night was 49.3% - even better than I had reported.

What did the officiating have to do with the first Dallas goal?

it`s the manner of which this team is losing, yes, two regular D out but this isn`t a team who has been firing on all cylinders and this loss was simply an outlier, this team has massive issues

One (injuries) is out of their control, everything else though, in their control

 

[DavidK]

Marchment pushed McAvoy down when he didn't have the puck, which contributed to the whole sequence.
