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

[DKH]

Pastrnak rough game but Heinen & DeBrusk were very good

Poitras rebounded from gaffe with a phenomenal shift - he’s a point per game player maybe by year 3 but before age 25

Sloppy best one word description of game

Lohrei did a lot well but he’s learning - Grzelcyk & McAvoy run together like a Swiss clock

I might just keep Heinen with Coyle & Frederic and leave Heinen at LW

Zacha was good and Marchand was as well but Pasta was off

My lines
Marchand - Zacha- Pastrnak
Heinen - Coyle - Freddy
JVR- Poitras- DeBrusk
Lauko- Beecher - Geekie/Steen
Brown

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

If Brown were any good he'd have had a Hat Trick FFS.... lol

I may be wrong but I think he’s signed for next year too.

 

[DKH]

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.

Relax

This was the first game in 18 they weren’t leading or tied in the third period (actually they led in the third in 17 of 18 games)

April is 5 months away they got 4 rookies on the bottom 6

What does worrying accomplish that’s positive

I went to this and it was frustrating but they are very good

Grzelcyk will be a welcome addition because he’s a good hockey player

I’ll worry about April in April

I am relaxed. I'm just calling it as it is.

PP needs a lot of work. Have yet to see Pasta score on a one timer this season(19 games in)
Lorie needs to shoot more and work on getting shots through.
Monty screwed up the goalie rotation.
Too much passing not enough shooting during 6 on 5.

I hate when Pasta misses then looks straight up. He then slowly sulks his way back into the play. For such a huge talent and paycheck, he leaves me wishing he had a better attitude.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Typical loss for a really good team.

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

The first round is 4ish months away.
A little early to be worried for a really good team

 

[Concessionaire]

Lohrei looked hesitant in the defensive zone today; Detroit chased him down and took the puck from him a few times. I’m thinking a return to the AHL to work on defensive fundamentals might serve him well.

Again. Just calling it as I see it. At the end of the day, that's what matters.

 

[Knight]

Marchand sucked today

 

[chizzler]

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.

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

I’ve been harping on the fact that they aren’t skating it out. They’re doing the Clode system of shooting around the boards the the high circle where an opponent is waiting. Last year when they first started playing, they emphasized skating. They aren’t doing that anymore.

I'd say it's more of a mental thing than age related

Zacha has been the worst player at not clearing the puck outta the zone this season and he's only 26

good team, needs some help. more speed, more grit, more talent in the forward ranks.
wouldn't mind more grit on the D either.

curious on your thoughts. i watch hathaway running around like a f***ing menace with
philly. what are they doing to these guys in boston? freddy too, seems tamer now.

They were about to handle Florida without breaking a sweat until the retired guys inserted themselves into the series badly injured and stayed with a struggling goalie who was also injured.

We lost today because the players probably ate and drank whatever they felt like with their families and Detroit was at a hotel on a road trip.

Yeah, fans gotta cut the B's some slack for today's listless performance

They just got back from Florida with 3 out of 4 points against two damn good teams, then had a quick thanksgiving supper and went right back on the ice for an afternoon game

What matters? I am going to watch a season play out. I just the hope the team hasn’t have first round in their head

 

[Oates2Neely]

Imagine if they hired Savard for the PP!

Has Savard successfully coached a PP and I missed it? He had a natural skill set but does that translate to coaching? Wayne Gretzky was 143-161 as a coach

Marchand was off today. Numerous boneheaded turnovers

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

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

Ah, a new response to a loss.

Thanks a bunch, Joe.

 

[BMC]

For once I'm not sorry I missed most of a game.

Very glad that Woodstock got a goal & Coyle with an assist.

On to the New York Rangers...

The best part of this game is that it was over before my work day finished up. Still got the entire Friday night ahead of me

 

[lopey]

Trouble with fast skating teams.

Trouble with heavy, physical teams.

Trouble with forechecking teams.

Must be a lot of teams in this league that can't do much of anything.

Some fan’s expectations are just nuts. We have 2 regulation losses. Do really do we have trouble with every team? Jesus. No team is perfect including the briuns. Every game is s battle. Its the nhl. We will gave spurt's and some game where we have trouble.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Well that's a shame I'm pretty sure the Rags officially have a better P% now than us.

 

[Ladyfan]

Just in. I had to drop my daughter off at Logan after the game.

The whole team looked off. Something is wrong with Pasta as he wasn't, his usual self and he was stretching himself awkwardly on the bench and looked like he was hurting.

Nice to see @DKH today
