Post-Game Talk: GAME 30 - Winterpeg 8 BRUINS 1

[Fenway]

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Mark Scheifele scored two goals and added an assist to lead the Winnipeg Jets to a convincing 8-1 victory over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night.

Nikita Chibrikov, Mason Appleton, Alex Iafallo, Gabriel Vilardi, Kyle Connor and Vladislav Namestnikov scored the other Winnipeg goals.

Scheifele now has a 13-game point streak at home, totaling 20 points in that stretch.

David Pastrnak replied for the Bruins, who had a four-game winning streak snapped.

Connor Hellebuyck made 23 saves for Winnipeg. Jeremy Swayman stopped 27 shots for Boston.

Scheifele scored his second goal of the game, one-timing a perfect setup from Josh Morrissey on a second-period power play, increasing the Winnipeg lead to 3-0.

Namestnikov opened the scoring in the first period with Boston defenseman Brandon Carlo off for four minutes after clipping Kyle Connor with a high stick. With an assist on the goal, Neal Pionk reached the 200-point mark since joining the Jets in a trade with the New York Rangers.

Takeaways
Bruins: Boston was on their heels after the Jets scored on the power play in the first period, but came to life in the second, scoring their first goal and missing a number of chances. Then they fell apart in the third.

Jets: Winnipeg seemed sparked by the energy displayed by call-up Chibrikov. He drew an early penalty, started the play that led to Winnipeg’s first goal, then assisted on Iafallo’s power-play goal. Then, Scheifele took over, converting two great passes, and dominating play whenever he was on the ice.

Key moment
Connor scored on a setup from Scheifele 1:15 into the third period giving Winnipeg a 4-1 lead and deflating the Bruins.

Key stat
The Jets scored three power-play goals.

Up next
The Bruins visit the Seattle Kraken on Thursday. The Jets host the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday.

I had to pack so didn't see much of the third. I am now in Seattle. Didn't sleep last night (or on the plane) so I am exhausted

Freddy is a want to be tough guy who does not fair well against the known fighters in the league. This incident did nothing to impress anyone.

The problem with Freddy is everyone expected him to be Lucic light. He's not a heavyweight and probably shouldn't be fighting the big brawlers in the league .

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

The fight was cheap, pointless and borderline classless. But we are told by certain media types that there are some teams who would love to have Freddy.
Who are these teams they speak of?
Are they from this planet?
Youranus?

Didn't watch the game so not sure what led to it or if it was just team frustration.

Sucks the camera cuts away in the only clips I've seen so it's hard to tell. But seems like Gust was a willing combatant in the tilt? Could have skated away and got another PP instead, but he dropped the gloves.

 

[BruinsFan37]

They failed to do so, mental mistakes made the wheels fly off the wagon

They didn't fly off the wagon, they were forcibly ejected into outer space.

There was no instigator or added roughing. Two guys decided to fight so they did.

Dragged Kastelic and Zadorov into it which was entertaining, only real entertainment of the night to be honest.

It was a clean KO as you'll see too. Like what he did to they guy who crosschecked Bergeron in the face.

 

[DKH]

Bruins won the fights I’m good with that

Whether you lose 8-1 or 3-2 it’s a loss

Pay Freddy !!!!!!

 

[DKH]

Frederic KO’s 2 guys and people upset

Can the Bruins get a list pregame from the other team who Freddy can go with ?

 

[Mick Riddleton]

On the main board, the poster must have been waiting to use this. Props to him, very clever.

"Sacco wanted to pull him at 7 but Swayman wanted to hold out for 8.5"

 

[Sheppy]

Great game by Swayman by the looks of it

 

[Gordoff]

Gordoff said in the post game thread that "our Coleco goalies are better than Swayman."

I had a chuckle as this past weekend my buddy had his annual rod hockey tourney with the old Coleco sets. A round robin with 7 buddies then playoffs.
And yes....I won!!! (2nd time) Won all 7 straight total.
And yes....I had Cheevers in net, not Swayman.

CONGRATS BRO!!

Not upset, but he’s KO’d two guys who have never fought. He also fought Larson who doesn’t fight.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Not upset, but he’s KO’d two guys who have never fought. He also fought Larson who doesn’t fight.

And his previous five fights were against Jeannot, Englund, Anderson, O’Brien, and Trouba.

What’s the point in all this?

That flight is a killer.

 

[Dr Hook]

Freddy is 6'3' 220. How is he not a heavyweight? Who are the guys that are a lot bigger than him that fight regularly? Gernuine question here as I don't feel arsed to look up all the heights and weights. I know Reaves isn't a giant, Jeannot isn't, Olivier isn't- they are all in the Freddy size ballpark.

 

[Hookslide]

Just get in. That's the mission. Playoffs we all start at zero again.


I expect a big bounce after that debacle.

I am going to take your financial advice...............I will hunt you down

It’s not like any smaller guys fight in the NHL anymore. “Weight class” is more of a fighting skill class. Olivier and Jeannot are two of the top fighters in the league if not the two best.

Same people love Sam Bennett when he picks a fight with Hampus Lindholm.

 

[PaulD]

Bruins need some serious roster shakeup.

And a goalie

 

[DKH]

Not upset, but he’s KO’d two guys who have never fought. He also fought Larson who doesn’t fight.

He could be the third Paul brother

Yes.
If other teams would also roster their moms ... Frederic would likely fight twice as much.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Win a round or 2 and you never know. Playoffs are lottery. Get your ticket.

This isn't really true. Even looking at teams that people point out like the Kings and the Blues who had poor regular seasons but one a Cup... those teams had pretty good goal differential numbers in the regular season.

Of Eastern Conference teams, only MTL and PIT have worse goal differentials. There's simply nothing to this point that suggests that the Bruins are one of these "surprise" teams that go on a deep run. The "lottery" you speak of isn't a good analogy. The lottery is totally random and no amount of skill can influence it. A hockey game and season are not random. How teams finish does depend on the roster make up and skill. Right now it doesn't look like the B's are much more than a "mid" team.

 

[Number8]

Let’s face it, a 32 team league makes for a ton of mediocrity but it also makes total rebuilds much more difficult. Boston has enough talent to be a bubble team this year and next. So they will play it safe and not make a major trade.

If we trade any of our first or second picks in the next three years my head will explode.

Same if we trade for any player older than 26 years old.

We have major holes and the cupboards are barer than Lady Godiva.

not gonna lie.
kinda glad swayman suckin it this year.
