GDT: GAME 3 10/17 8 PM - The BRUINS visit Portage and Main | NESN, TSN3, TVAS, 98.5

[Gee Wally]

Did you see the goal, Rask was caught standing still instead of backing in and fell over like a stone.

The odds of stopping Wheeler there were slim to none.

 

[catsmasher]

Trade krejci for d help now! Coming off surgery or not he is cooked physically and mentally.

 

[bob27]

It's not just "the D", the team defense is just gross right now.

Bergeron will alleviate that, but boy it's just unfortunate how bad our defencemen are.

 

[PB37]

I actually like what I've seen from Hayes so far tonight; he looks engaged. Same with Acciari and Backes.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Anyone else want Krejci traded??

No. He's cold. But once he heats up he can carry this offense for long stretches. Give him time, he'll get it done.

 

[veganbruin]

Bottom lines look a lot better tonight. Keep em' rotating and motivated. Top line is being shutdown, I think you gotta start double shifting Marchand like you know every other team in the league does with their best player.

Did you see the goal, Rask was caught standing still instead of backing in and fell over like a stone.

Did you see the fact that it was a breakaway?

 

[RI.B FAN]

The odds of stopping Wheeler there were slim to none.

Yup, It seems popular these days to call him out. He is in a tough spot and playing well. BACK HIM UP!

Yup.

Guy still has no finish (whenever he has a chance, he's whistling it over the net) but he's moving his feet out there and making the right plays.

 

[missingchicklet]

Great period from Rask. Need to stay out of the box in the second.

 

[NeelyDan]

Debatable. Regardless, even if you're right, you'd hope to see a committed move one way or the other versus corkscrewing himself into the ice.

I realize I'm in the minority. I have very little faith in Rask when the big save is required. He's fine otherwise. Maybe I should have said he's not a gamebreaker goalie, in my eyes, and for his salary I want a gamebreaker. Once in a while, anyway.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

If you're blaming Tuukka for clearcut breakaway goals, against talented opposition no less, you officially have an agenda.

 

[Patrice Krejci*]

LOL cooked?

Really think Nash as 3rd line C is working. It's more classic bottom 6/top 6 than you would like, but I think it's the best lineup until Bergeron and Vatrano are back

LOL. They had 8 freaking prime scoring chances that period and he saved 7. He made a ton of big saves.

Just stop.

lol. Nmc

 

[TP]

The good news is that Ottawa may be even worse.

Look who he's playing with.

Yea it does actually look like he is putting the effort in...he isnt good...but he is trying.

he isnt good at hitting, misses a lot...but he is out there at least trying, and punishing the glass in the process.


he isn't good with offensive creativity when he has the puck...yet still tried a...bad....weak backhand right in the high slots....which of course backfired.


overall...i do see the effort there and when he has his hot streak, he looks good...wish he could just put it together and learn to really use his size. I'm not very confident in him putting it together at this point.

 

[NeelyDan]

Just stop.

Stop what? Discussing hockey on a hockey internet forum? You're not obligated to agree, I can handle that.

 

[BruinDust]

Bergeron will alleviate that, but boy it's just unfortunate how bad our defencemen are.

Bergeron is going to play 60 mins now?

Our D is bad, but they aren't getting much help from the forwards outside of a few. Bergeron will help obviously, but it's not going to solve the issue altogether.

 

[DaStinger]

The good news is that Ottawa may be even worse.

I don't see being a team that may be better then the Sens at the moment as a good thing. At least we won't be dead last?

 

[Seidenbergy]

No. Stop with the agenda.

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

Just stop.

7 premium saves? Let's not get carried away now

 

[catsmasher]

Right, his No Movement Clause means he doesn't have to skate, apparently.
