Post-Game Talk: GAME 29 - BAH HUMBUG - NYR 2 BRUINS 1 F/OT

[NeelyOrr]

You really think so? Didn't squarely hit either number on his back. Clearly was going in for the shoulder. Zero history. Not known at all as a malicious player or even a hitter. With DoPS you never know, but even so I cannot see how on earth Pasta gets a suspension given what has only received fines around the league in recent weeks. It was a careless hit by Pasta for sure, but I chalk it up more to him not being very proficient at hitting more than anything. His going for big hits is a very recent development.

I agree with you. Imho, like I posted earlier, he should have gotten the 5 minutes w/o the game suspension. There was stink in the arena tonight coming from those dip shits wearing the stripes.

Buggy Issues aside, I bought an Xbox just for Starfield, and I’m yet to play it.

They just can't score goals plain and simple. Offensively challenged.

Obviously the goaltending is spectacular, and the team D is extremely solid but you're not going to win many games 1-0 or 2-1. Freddy deserved an assist somewhere to give him a Gordie Howe Hat Trick but alas, not another goal to be found. Freddy was on fire tonight though. Wish we saw that EVERY night.

I like Wotherspoon better than Mitchell as the 7th/8th D call up guy. He's just a little more solid and defensively sound imo.
Glad Poitras wasn't seriously hurt but he needs to shoot the puck more. Too many times he tries the soft pass for the sake of accuracy and while that may have worked in junior, it's not fast enough to get through at this level. Shoot the puck more or just fire it towards the net area and let them bang around for it. Stop worrying about perfect passes all the time. he does that I think he will be far more effective at this point.

The refs didn't do us any favors that's for sure but it really shouldn't come down to that. We need more offense period.

I disagree about the team D being extremely solid. The Bruins are near the top in giving up quality shots. As of last weak they were allowing 17 QS per game.

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

I still think JDB can turn it around, plus the Bruins need his speed. As for Gryz, the sooner he is moved on the better, definitely don't want him here come playoff time.

You know if Cassidy was still coach here Jake would be out of the line up at this point. Sure he's fast, and he's a decent PK guy, but right now he is far from being a top 6 winger. idk if he secretly wants out or what (maybe wants to go to Edmonton next year) but he's definitely not earning a big payday that's for sure. Better to let him walk and give that money to Elias Lindholm or somebody else next year.

 

[TheFerenceWheel]

Point at least. They deleted my last comment but I get why LOL. Terrible officiating to the point of conspiracy. Pasta tossed... yet trouba whacks Frederic in the head w his stick, just 2! ## off

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

They are back checking, blocking shots, forcing play outside, taking away rebounds. It's a solid structure that lets the goalies play aggressively and confidently. The two things are interconnected imo.

 

[Gordoff]

On the T.

I hate to complain about the refs but....

Some players are not contributing.

Changes need to be made

At one point tonight, at the start of the 2nd or 3rd periods (not sure which) they were showing Ullmark and you had your screen time!

 

[Mione134]

Buggy Issues aside, I bought an Xbox just for Starfield, and I’m yet to play it.

I've watched gameplays of Starfield on youtube. It looks fun but I just don't have the time. It's absolutely GORGEOUS though the graphics? Incredible.

 

[The National]

Pasta with a nice tribute to the old timers tonight eh? I’ll take the point all things considered.

 

[Gordoff]

The refs giving Pasta a game misconduct was very suspicious when a 5 minute major would have been the correct penalty.
This should be investigated by the league.

Oh, they'll 'investigate it' at his suspension hearing. Can't have menaces like Pasta injuring poor unsuspecting players.

 

[Mione134]

Pasta with a nice tribute to the old timers tonight eh? I’ll take the point all things considered.

Crazy that Pasta was the only one throwing hard hits.

Freddy with a nice tilt. But man, do we lack physicality, especially from our dmen.

 

[Score08]

At least pasta got his moneys worth.
Just in, the rags are back on the pp.

..as soon as DoPs see the spoked B on the uniform, it's a minimum of two games automatically before they even see the infraction

I wish I was kidding

 

[NeelyOrr]

Regarding JDB, thank goodness last season wasn't his contract year.

 

[pgm16]

I like Pasta playing with the intensity of Ovechkin...he is leading by example. Top 5 player in the league. Maybe a game or two...maybe.
Bruins still picking up points with 4 of their top 5 players out tonight who are not goalies.

 

[sarge88]

Pasta…..is just dumb.

If you want to get your aggression out, you’re supposed to swing your stick and hit them in the head….that way you don’t get a penalty.

 

[analyser]

It would be easier to name those who are contributing.

I still think JDB can turn it around, plus the Bruins need his speed. As for Gryz, the sooner he is moved on the better, definitely don't want him here come playoff time.

What does his speed do for the team, definitely not points. Drafted in 2015 and still cannot figure it out. Move him out.

 

[NeelyOrr]

Well, you do get 2 minutes.

 

[sarge88]

Well, you do get 2 minutes.

I may be wrong, but I don’t think Trouba even got that.

I agree with all of it, fwiw. I kind of like Wotherspoon. He hustles, has decent hands, good vision, and is assertive in his passing and play. He is better than Mitchell, and I hope they see that. Poitras , like Krejci, needs to work on his shot, and definitely needs to make better and quicker decisions in the offensive zone. I would also have like to have seen him take it to the net on that early good chance.

 

[Sigh]

Im more of a Morrowind guy myself.

I was an Oblivion guy myself. I loved Skyrim too, but the goofy shit you could do in Oblivion was just so much fun. I didn't try Morrowind until it was "old", so it was tougher to get into.

Edmonton needs good D-men, not floating forwards afraid of contact

so I recently got back into playing the Sims

Original sim city (windows 3.1 386 times) was badass

ES6 is supposed to be hammerfell-focused

 

[Trizz617]

Adversity. Either they're going to continue to fight through it, or succomb to it. We all would've liked to grab 2 points tonight.

To leave with 1, undermanned and everything else, i'm cool with that.
