This team can't get in early 2 or 3 goal defecits their system and to some extent skill doesn't allow them to pour it on offensively. When they try the defensive structure falls apart and all hell breaks loose.
Post-Game Talk: GAME 32 - We didn't lose to the British, and we didn't lose to British Columbia - BRUINS 5 Canucks 1
- Thread starter Fenway
- Start date
Agree on Poitras
Let him marinate
The skill is definitely there.... now let him learn how to use it and protect himself more....a little bigger stronger and awareness will do him wonders
B's must have found a frozen pond to practice on.
They came out playing real hockey

You did see his goal last night, right? A double deflection off Vancouver players after they had turned it over in their own zone. Bruins were already up 3-0 and Canucks were floundering.
That said, a goal is a goal. He doesn't hurt the team any when he's out there. I don't really see much upside potential, though.
We all have our favorites. I'll be rooting for your guy. Afterall, he's a Bruin.
Forever, because we are Bruins fans. I don't know what else we can do unless we give up on the team and stop following them. I don't think I can do that. Maybe some are stronger than I
You must be a real fan.
Also funny that quiet bruins fan is usually quiet after a Bruins win.

Wasn't for Jake, they probably have same exact record as Boston.

..and Marchand
If he doesn't roof that first goal, the game could've had a different outcome

Despite the two teams meeting in the Final 13 years ago, and otherwise not meeting often, there is still a rivalry there.
The Vancouver crowd booing Marchand clearly motivated him.
It is almost as if the product is better when there is emotion and a healthy hatred between the two clubs.
Whodathunkit?

Happy for you that you got to at least see one W (and a good one) on your trip!
Thanks! We are hanging out in Vancouver for a couple of days. I will be heading home on Dec 17th

That was a good game. Not really sure what the Canucks excuse is for not showing up to the point i was happy about turning it off in the first period. Absolutely loved Marchand dishing it back to the crowd after scoring lmao.
Boston now 8-3-0 under Sacco even though it admittedly really doesn't feel like it. Does it mean much? Well, Vancouver is not the juggernaut they were last year. near dead even goal differential, surprisingly bad home record and their defense is essentially Quinn Hughes trying to will it to competence. At the same time, it shows the players have a bit of character given that was about as good of a bounce back you could ask for after two really shitty games.
I still don't think they're great but then again, neither is like half the East. We roll on.

Split against Calgary and Edmonton.
Beat Buffalo, and win both in the home and home against Columbus.
Any points against Washington are gravy.

… and any game against Washington without an injury is gravy
I would like to see Poitras brought back up and send Beecher down to Providence as he has done very little in the points production, 0 points in 5 games. I just hope we can win the next two in Alberta, won't be easy but if they play the same game as they did last night it is a very good possibility.

I've been harping on this team a lot this season.
Credit where credits due. They played a very good game last night.
Would love to see Poitras up, Kastelic back to the 4th line though.

Considering your history that the complete opposite happens with all your predictions, they must be very good and they just haven’t clicked yet.
