Post-Game Talk: GAME 2 - BRUINS 3 Nashville 2 - We're on to California

Only a matter of time before we see Potsy with Marchy and Jake.

Only a matter of time.

Or they load up and do Pasta, Poitras Marchand. At present we aren't even a one line team.

Remember seeing a lot of talk here from people wanting JVR to figure it out after an unimpressive game 1... looks like him going to the net worked pretty well tonight. I feel like we haven't had a true net front presence like him a long time. May be underwhelming in a lot of 5 on 5 situations but definitely a powerful weapon on the PP.

 

[sarge88]

Anyone else think that Heinen could help ?

Yeah.

They‘d probably be 4-0 with him by now.

I loved Pasta's p.shot.

He was skating so casual and then just nailed it. No one knew what he would do.

You need to lighten up!

They need work but have 2 wins!

Yes and the PK ers were outstanding...

Yep, 1st star to Swayman, and 2nd star to all the PKers

Fabulous pics! Thanks!

It would be huge if he could pop 20-25

Lucic also a heist. Very solid play.

 

[DKH]

How was Eiserman?!?

I’ll steal Eric’s line when I asked him how he’d compare Eiserman to Celebrini

‘Like watching Larry Holmes fight Tex Cobb’

Spectacular
Dominant
Phenomenal

Just in...

I never thought that I would be cheering for JVR but I am happy he is on the team.

We were hoping Poitras would get his first goal tonight.

The fans were NOT happy with the guys in stripes tonight. Did you hear them chanting "Refs you suck and BULLSHIT"? It was pretty loud, and I wasn't sure if they would let that be heard on TV.

We definitely heard em, I was chanting with them lol

 

[Ladyfan]

I love this by Pasta

 

[Olden McGroin]

 

[Ladyfan]

Also thought Forbort was good tonight. He saved a goal when he fished the puck out when it almost went into the net.

 

[bruins19]

We definitely heard em, I was chanting with them lol

That was hall of fame bad refereeing. No call when Poitras was tripped and they missed another one late.

 

[rocketdan9]

JVR redeemed himself with tonights performance. Much more noticeable. Nice goals. Especially the garbage deflection. You can't a win some games otherwise.

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

He has been fine out there. The fans love him.

It is kind of interesting on several occasions his complete lack of speed has made him get there late but Lauko or Beecher crash the D and send the puck out towards the front and there's Looch finally arriving. It kind of works almost as if it was designed.
He's also a great follow up on a board battle where he again arrives late but just at the right moment to help his linemate with his physicality. It's a great line in terms of chemistry.

NESN viewers were lucky to have sound from the Garden and not an audio feed from a mad fisherman episode tonight.

 

[bruinsfan1968]

We definitely heard em, I was chanting with them lol

I was listening on the radio, you could hear what the crowd was chanting. Lol
Sirott commented that the crowd was expressing their displeasure with the refs.
He of course couldn't repeat it. Lol
But is was funny none the less.
Kudos to the crowd!

 

[BruinsFan37]

I am not planning any parades, but they keep playing like that, they'll be fun to watch.

 

[PlayMakers]

Yep, 1st star to Swayman, and 2nd star to all the PKers

DeBrusk was a beast on the PK tonight.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Oh we most definitely heard it on the broadcast. Rough night for the refs

The refs rough night was on them

Note to NHL refs : "Just call the OBVIOUS fricken penalties, and let the chintzy ones slide"

 

[Aeroforce]

It's still early in the season, but there does seem to be some game management by the officials. They were reluctant to blow the whistles late in the game, which was also the case last night in New Jersey.

I've always liked JVR and think he will be a more durable net-front guy than Bertuzzi, and at a fraction of the cost.

Great start to the season; just two frustrations. First, the inability to control face-offs and make simple clears during the final minute brought back memories of Florida Game Seven.

Secondly, the goaltending was otherworldly, as it was all last season. So why did it falter that fateful week and a half last April?
