Post-Game Talk: GAME 19 - The Bruins have only lost 2 games in regulation all season - BOTH TO THE RED WINGS - Detroit 5 BRUINS 2

[TobanWest]

PP is too predictable. Pass to Pasta meh.
Kids with mistakes.
Top players not finishing.
Can't clear the zone.... Getting old!

Heinen and Debrusk with good goals.

 

[caz16]

How I feel.

 

[TobanWest]

Mitchell is growing on me. Poor man's Gryz?

 

[Mione134]

On the...bright side. Jake is heating up.

 

[Sheppy]

Someone needs to add the Benny Hill theme song to the Bruins trying to clear the puck.

 

[Carl Hungus]

We all expected ups and downs this year. It's a bridge year and the ups have been higher than I thought they'd be early on. But the downs haven't happened yet, and when they do we need to remember the mindset going into the season/not lose our collective minds over it. There are clearly some issues but I'd say they're soundly outplaying expectations through 11/24

 

[TobanWest]

Imagine if they hired Savard for the PP!

You hit the nail on the head. https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...usg=AOvVaw0CXgPlTNkOit5Tv3U091fw&opi=89978449

Look at this team as a whole. Now look at their record. How can anyone be upset? Save your unhappiness for the PO's.

I am saving it for the playoffs, haha, but you cannot be happy with this.

Unfortunate, but typical matinee result.

Oh well.

Regroup
Win the next one

I prefer night games myself

I think they play much better tomorrow

..even if they lose tomorrow, they have an easier schedule the next two weeks with Columbus (twice), SJ, Sabres and Coyotes

 

[SwayHeyKid]

No hug today. Wings have their number.

Hard to tell which team Marchand was playing for today.

Trent Frederic only Bruin to be a plus player (+1). Right place right time I guess.

Rookie's with a couple of big rookie mistakes.

Blame Swayman, he didn't steal this one.

Many posters in the game thread appear to blame Brown.

Did B's win any faceoffs on power play or PK?

100% of the above.

 

[goldnblack]

Of late they've been in the box too much. That much is clear.

 

[Thirty Seven]

Not a very good game but oh well, on to the next. Hopefully they come back better, their defensive end needs some work

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Imagine if they hired Savard for the PP!

Unless he's going to play on it, can't see how he could help.

 

[Gee Wally]

I missed all of it. Good thing I did I guess.

On the brighter side we got all the bedroom furniture swapped. Now I can have a bigger tv.

Gets delivered Nov 30.

The CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM theme would also work.

Sometimes you just play badly and lose.

 

[BruinsJoe]

Horrible soft game, too much passes like usual, no hit, no grit..goalies can't steall all games

 

[NeelyOrr]

Shouldn't that read Lowlights?

Sometimes you just play badly and lose.

Sometimes you play badly and win. It's a crapshoot.

Detroit was better, simple as that. Bruins were far from their best so the result is what it is.

It does make me wonder a little if we aren't going to hit another playoff early exit though. We have solid goaltending and a good D but the team is kind of in between and that leads to many regular season wins but nothing when elevated play in the playoffs comes.

We aren't fast enough to play the up tempo offensive game like a Detroit and we aren't physical enough to intimidate and shut down that game OR play a full grind with a heavy team like Florida showed last year. We are in between and that won't get it done.

Disappointed in Geekie. As good as some off season moves have turned out this one seems like a bit of a bust in terms of value for the money. He's 4th line value at best. Way too slow to play with DeBrusk and Poitras. I wonder if Seattle misses him and we could trade him back?

The BRUINS' goalies are stealing the most in the NHL.

Unless there's a few additions this team isn't getting out of the first round.

They're having a very good year, but it is a completely different game from April on.

 

[BruinsJoe]

Hey Monty! Does this team supposed to play a more physical game this year? The boots dont follow the lips...

i know i know , they re not equiped to do so...not going past first round in PO...deja vu
