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

[CharasLazyWrister]

Every Bruins fan knows that since Thomas arrived in Boston we have desperately wanted the goalie to NEVER move the puck or do anything fancy with it. We have Bergeron its been coached into Rask to cover it up he'd give up 6-7 goals a year trying to get pucks from his glove to defensemen.


Acciari making things happen b/c noone wants to get hit by him.

Yes, you are right. I simply hate that the team "accepts" the fact that our goalies don't play the puck. You watch other teams and they have set plays where the goalie makes a strong pass to a defenseman, or a good drop behind the net.

When there is literally no pressure and the opposition simply lobs the puck toward the net from behind the blue line with only a single player present in the offensive zone....yeesh. It's just inherently a poor play to take that offensive zone faceoff every single time.

O'Gara has had some awesome shifts tonight. Really liking his game.

Member the Dagobah System?

Member the Merlot line?

Ohhhh member Thomas??

I love to member Thomas.

"Member Seguin again?!"

"Ohhhhh member Looch and Komisarek?"

"Yeeeaaahhh I member"

I hate the offside rule when its against us and when it is for us. It's just so arbitrary to review just that. Bad calls lead directly to goals all the time. What makes offside so special to get reviewed other than to deflate momentum and ruin the viewing experience.

Clode doesn't make those calls. He just assumes it was onside..."let's the league handle it."

Because they have always been straight up with us.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Maybe if they weren't on the PK all the time, they might have some energy to play.

Yeah, that's not it.

If you aren't aware, I'll let you know that I rarely sympathize with ref complaining. I find it almost always beside the point.

 

[Patrice Krejci*]

Ehlers face always looks like he smelled something awful. Good players though.

 

[Pia8988]

I bet Brad called the officials *******s and that's why Winnepeg is being given carte blanche

 

[SanDogBrewin]

4th line are all over the Jets tonight.

 

[TP]

Damn, this period is dragging.

 

[BruinsBtn]

The Bruins passing tonight is horrid

...

TSN just loves birthday trivia.

 

[catsmasher]

Top line excluded , this could be the weakest collection of offensive talent the Bruins have dressed in 15 years...

 

[JCRO]

Yeah, that's not it.

I don't think that was the posters point.

Good thing they have that defense.....

 

[HumBucker]

4th line looking good.
Rask solid.

 

[rainone99]

Top line excluded , this could be the weakest collection of offensive talent the Bruins have dressed in 15 years...

Even with Caron and Fraser playing on the top 6??

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

Let it go Jack

 

[DKH]

This is a Bergeron game. Winnipeg has the biggest collection of skilled soft forwards in the league

 

[TP]

Points ARE at a premium, Jack.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

It has everything to do with it. HD reviews of hits, after the fact. HD reviews of obvious goals that are negated because, "inconclusive", HD reviews of ****ING OFFSIDES challenges from the bench...this league is destroying itself.

Are you talking about suspension reviews? If not, I don't know what you're talking about.

And yes the offside thing is annoying. But, there was a view on TSN that showed conclusively that it was the correct call. I don't like the rule that it can be reviewed, but I'd be kidding myself to ever say that making the correct call was "destroying" the game.

 

[Replicator]

Interesting. The last time they replayed that, it didn't look like the puck fully crossed the line.

 

[JCRO]

Can someone tell me why they don't have better cameras in this day and age on the blue lines for better "zoom?" 2016 called, they have found the technology

 

[BruinsFan1990]

Geez Krug...

 

[BMC]

Next to Rask, Z has been great.

Yes the Captain has really stepped up the past 2 games. I'm loving every second of it too.

 

[smithformeragent]

Jack reminds me of one of the guys who gets punched out by Robert Stack in Airplane.

"Read about poor officiating?"

POW!
