Post-Game Talk: GAME 22 - THE BEAR dances on Woodward Ave - BRUINS 2 Detroit 1

[bruins19]

Earned that tonight. Big time.

Penalty at the end made me nervous.

Talbot definitely deserved first star.

He played a phenomenal game. Kept them in it.

Did Wotherspoon get hurt? Only 12 minutes TOI

 

[Bradely]

did not see the game, but given only one goal is awesome.
A win.......2 pts!!!! on the road I'll take it 7 days a week and 52 a year.
Good for Sway.. winner snipe by Brad.

 

[Bread and Circuses]

For anybody that still thinks Brad is cooked

..go read post # 11

Given his age, the way he plays the game, as well as the amount of damage he has done to his body....I will immediately write off anybody that even remotely implies he is a liability to this team.

The guy is an absolute machine.

I think he will be fine. Love that guy! He is a great Captain!

Folks forget he had no camp and is coming off 3 surgeries from Summer.

I can remember Razor also saying this awhile back and that he wasn’t expecting #63 to be in full form until mid-November. Looks like he was right on!

Lots of positives...

Energy is better. Compete is better. PK is better. Defensive zone coverage is better. Neutral zone defense is better. Swayman had a good game. PP has scored some goals (albeit PP2)...

Still room to grow but it's another positive step.

My daughter was at the game in San Jose tonight for Big Joe's retirement.

That looked like a fun time. One of the game's great characters.

One thing for sure sacco has cleaned up a bit back there.

Need to bring it vs Canucks now.Only 2 pts back of Florida feels like I have to be wrong

What a statement it would be they grabbed 2 points against cats. If they keep playing well back there anything is possible. Sacco so far has addressed this.

Glad they won and there's lots to like, but boy does this team struggle putting the puck in the net. They are going to have to find a way to finish more of these plays.

Swayman looked a little more like himself so that's a positive sign too.

I like the direction and the subtle changes.

Keep building

 

[BTO]

Didn’t see the game but appears to have been good. Looks like starting to get some luck too. That “icing” before Brad’s goal, yikes. But we’ve had enough go against us so meh. 2-0 under Sacco. Keep it going boys! Who’s our next victim?

 

[BadBruins]

Defensively, it's like night and day. Relatively easy night for Swayman. Made all the saves he needed to, just as Korpisalo did a couple nights ago. A little more "hardness" on pucks and second effort is noticeable. Want to see this for a longer stretch. Given the roster, this is definitely the style they need to play.

3rd period was exceptional. Great road win.

Offensively, still many issues. Too many plugs who think they are scorers.

I've liked Lohrei with McAcvoy the past couple of games. Hope that positivity continues. Everyone has looked better back there. To a man.

Is Zadarov getting more or less ice time under Sacco ? It seems less but maybe I’m wrong. Zadarov seems to be making a conscious effort to simplify. He’s almost better off just standing still in his own zone as he doesn’t have quickness. Just guard the front of the net .

Once Pasta gets out of his rut, the goals will come

..but the big question is ...When??

 

[Alicat]

Bruins win, OU beats Bama. It is a great night.

 

[22Brad Park]

I am getting excited about this team again - there is life!

If they can stay close and hope Donny finds a way to add another guy who can score goals to the top 6 it might get interesting.Not sure how but that to me is a big need.

If I may add:

Team got better as the game went on. I think that's a major positive and quite the opposite of their norm in the first 20 games.

Sacco said he was going to focus on defensive structure first. Carlo had his best game of the season tonight. Zadorov is playing better. Peake was strong. This was the right call from the new coach.
