[Bread and Circuses]

Gritty win

 

[CDJ]

Welcome to Boston JVR!

Swayman was terrific

 

[Gordoff]

Any time you send Ryan O'Reilly home with a loss is a good time.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

How those JVR haters doing tonight?

 

[BTO]

Well so much for my (doomed from the start) attempt to not care about hockey until the playoffs lol.

Certainly things to improve, but they just need time to gain cohesion and tighten-up on the details. Hopefully the scoring will come in due course (hopefully).

Go Bruins!!

 

[Si Hopkins]

Lord Swayman. This was his win.

 

[veganbruin]

Team is going to struggle to score goals all year.

 

[hrdpuk]

This JVR guy really does suck, and overpaid.

Sway looked lost. Pitiful.

 

[Bradely]

Big JVR goal. Saw the third and Swayman was very very good. This team will go as far as the HUG tandem will bring them.

I am a Lucic fan... Boston looks bigger with him in the line up!

Wiin and 2 pts cashed in!

 

[Blowfish]

Not a JVR hater but questioner ... he did JVR good stuff tonight. He can stay in the line up.

 

[Grimey]

2-0-0

Goodnight

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

LOL

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Nice to start with a quick 4 pts before the west coast trip.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Welp I was lulled into sleep half way through, woke up to the Nashville goalie pulled. Guess I shouldn’t have layed down

What lead to the pasta penalty shot?

 

[Blowfish]

I'm still confused by the Fenian dislike for Coyle...Coyle has everything a Fenian wants in a player? A truly confused Blowfish here.

 

[Absurdity]

Gutsy win. Once the Bruins play more games, they should be able to clean up some defensive miscues and transitioning the puck. I would still like to see JVR with Marchand and Coyle who play more of a cycle game and DeBrusk with Zacha and Pastrnak.

 

[missingchicklet]

Great win considering all the PKs the Bs had to deal with. Need to play smarter from here on out. Swayman bailed the team out big time tonight. Carlo and McAvoy were monsters in their own zone, which helped a ton.

PP1 looked better tonight as Zacha seemed more comfortable in his role. JVR being JVR was very key. Coyle forward of the game easily for me. Can't say enough good things about how hard he played and how effective he was in his own zone. Bottom 6 also did an overall good job in keeping the Preds at bay. Nice to see all 4 centers playing good hockey. Not sure what is deserving of a penalty shot any more, but Pasta converted and continues to be set on scoring a whole lot of goals this season.

This team so far has a great work ethic and is fun to watch. I guess we'll see down the road how good the team is once the schedule gets tougher, but so far I like what I am seeing.

 

[The don godfather]

1 million for jvr could be the heist of the year. Wowsers .

 

[aguineapig72]

Having a bad day? Hug a goalie. PK Carlo putting in the OT at the office. He earned his pay tonight. Dr. Recchi has a new resident surgeon in his net front office. JVR,MD. Pasta, please put that penalty shot in the shootout playbook. I'm a Johnny Beech Nut.

 

[GordonHowe]

Lord Swayman. This was his win.

By the way, I shall appropriate your appellation for Jeremy. But, with attribution.

Sir Hopkins,

 

[Blowfish]

Apparently the Boston Bruins became the Hanson Brothers 2nd period.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

The happy Captain’s line and a Saturday hug

 

[sarge88]

Uggh.

seemed like forever between Wednesday and tonight…

now we wait until Thursday.

Hate this.

 

[Bridges31]

Missed most of this one except the third. Looks like I’d be correct in saying Swayman is the reason they got two points.
