Post-Game Talk: GAME 33 - If you turned it off after 2 periods - SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE - BRUINS 4 Flames 3 FINAL / OT

[TCB]

Feel asleep after the first. Woke up in the 2nd when it was 2-1 Calgary and then woke up again 10 seconds before Pasta scored the winner lol was a nice surprise

You can go back to sleep now, next game isn’t till Thursday at 9

Yes, quite talented. I enjoy when he carries the puck. He uses his long reach to his advantage and reads quite well to either dump in or carry it in.

I really like the way Lohrei carries the puck (especially in the offensive zone and on the PP), although he does need to improve his play in the defensive zone ..but I think he just needs more playing time in the NHL and he'll only get better

I'd really like to see him on PP1 more often as he's not afraid to shoot from the point which makes the PP more dangerous

Braz is another player I'd like to see on PP1 more often

PP2 isn’t actually effective. You are right they force to Pasta. But it’s because they have a lack of options. They lost Krug’s shot (althouh his shot had been leaving him before he left the team). Then they lost Bergeron in the bumper. And while DeBrusk was by no means elite as the net front, they lost that, too.

#88 has been staying out a often with PP2.

 

[Sigh]

If Elias and zacha continue putting points on the board we in serious business. Strong down the middle is key to winning.

I wasn’t a fan of that signing, but I’d love to eat crow on #28.

7 shots on goal last night 2 points Elias was a force.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Bruins need Elias to turn it on and do this every game going forward. Team will look completely different with him firing on all cylinders..

Realistically I will be happy with 7\10.

2-0 in the Wahlstrom Era

Just imagine what it will be like when he actually plays!

 

[hrdpuk]

Solid win

Pasta with a signature snipe.

He's been avoiding that shot and has been trying to skate past the last defender to get close. I'm hoping this means he's feeling better.

Wolf was like WTF

13 games 18 points ~ 114 point pace

Blow it up Donny

Brandon Carlo hasn't registered a single point in the last 30 games.

That's actually quite the accomplishment.

when lindholm gets back we have to trade him.

He scored two on his own net one game tho.

Power play goals:

Pasta - 4 PP1
Brazeau - 3 PP2
Coyle -3 PP2
Marchand - 2
Lindholm - 1
McAvoy - 1
Frederic - 1

McAvoy has 2 PP assists. Lohrei has 5.

Consider that PP1 gets 3 times as much PP time, I'd say PP2 has been quite effective.

I think there is a difference here between better and good. And luck! Why is the team shooting 6% with McAvoy on the PP and 15% with Lorhei? And why did it shoot 12% with McAvoy last year?

Also want to point out that the team has allowed three shorties with McAvoy on the bench and one with him on the ice. That’s a lot of goals allowed in such limited minutes.

Taking bad shots that get blocked also has consequences. I’m not arguing the PP1 has been anything but a shit show. But PP2 hasn’t been good either.

He scored two on his own net one game tho.

I do believe he had a multi goal game for the other team as well, and then scored one for the opposing teams 2 games later again. Remarkable.

Injury. Hope it's not concussion related

 

[Sheppy]

Injury. Hope it's not concussion related

If it is, it's completely irresponsible for the Bruins to put him out there. I think it's kind of because he's offensively awful.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Injury. Hope it's not concussion related

Stop with this excuse, he's just not good

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

The next game's the real test. That's where we see if this defensive first shut down structure can work against an offensive team that can actually score.
