Post-Game Talk: GAME #36 - B's can't hold a 2 goal lead and lose in OT - Whalercanes 3 BRUINS 2 F/OT

[bruinsfan1970]

Doby is terrible and when he is in net I feel like we have a worse chance of winning.

 

[BklyNBruiN]

I 100% agree. How many times have we seen this? Bruins play so poorly with a lead and I have to put that on the coach.

Too many times..

 

[ap3lovr]

He faced a whopping 23 shots and not many of high caliber. All 3 goals were stoppable. His rebound control sucks and he's very shaky.

Do you expect this team to win every game 2-1?

 

[catsmasher]

Loser points are for losers...

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Why didn't Rask play with 3 days off coming up ? Carolina played the older Ward back to back, to me playing the sieve Dobby cost this team a valuable point tonight.

 

[BsEuphoria]

Another win given away like a donation.

Just a tiny little bit of puck luck this year wouldn't hurt

 

[chizzler]

This thread seems like those last year when Gus was in net.

 

[catsmasher]

Didn't we draft a m subban in the 1st round 4 years ago? when does he get a sniff?

 

[Scruffy]

Do you expect this team to win every game 2-1?

Obviously not but he has to make timely saves which he seems incapable of doing. This team was flying until the short handed break away goal which deflated them.

Dobby is part of the team and has to do better.

Im Australian& new to this sport, but this game might turn me away. This ****ing side is so stupid, so unsophisticated & just plainly amateur that I can't bare it. Why the **** can't we close out games? Why the **** are we conceding goals on the PO? Why the **** do we run out of gas and look scared & rudderless?

Sack the coach. This dour not lose at all costs style is taking us nowhere. What a disgrace.

Don't give us Aussies a bad name, you need thicker skin if you want to support the Bruins.

1. Dobby sucks but we're stuck with him. Not all his fault but he gets beaten CLEAN regularly, weak.
2. Bergeron dumping it instead of keeping possession was the most unBergeron thing I've seen him do.
3. Carolina did get away with a **** tonne of interference tonight
4. This team has 0 finish other than Pasta
5. I absolutely cannot stand the way this roster is built, its ****ing awful. Nash/Hayes should not be taking roster spots.
6. Marchand, please play like good Marchand and not **** Marchand, its killing us.

 

[ap3lovr]

We are on pace to score 47 less goals than we did last season. I've heard enough excuses, these guys simply aren't putting the puck in the net, a fundamental change needs to happen come the new year. It looks like we will be having yet another long off-season.

 

[BklyNBruiN]

The guy only let in 3 goals! That's actually pretty good..

 

[BklyNBruiN]

I understand he let in 1 to many tonight. 2 in reg time.

 

[Absurdity]

To the people blaming the goalie here, he kept us in the game. We only scored 2 goals, again. This is on the coach for going into a defensive shell to protect a 2-1 lead.

Agreed. The Bruins should have never let it get to OT. They did the same thing last night against Florida. It's basically begging the other team to go on the attack and score on them. It would be nice if the Bruins stayed on the offensive even with the lead. It's always better playing in the other team's zone rather than trying to play it safe and hope your defense can prevent the other team's offense from producing. This team needs to stop changing the way they play when they have a lead.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Khudobin isn't NHL caliber, play and simple. He doesn't keep this team in the game. He never makes a big save. He lets in savable shots far too often. He'll be all done soon.

What goals were savable tonight?

 

[Scruffy]

This is all on the coach. And it's been this way for years. They need to play smart but play to expand the lead. It's hard for the other team to score if the puck is in their end.

 

[BruinsFan1990]

Typical Bruins night:

-Build up lead heading into the third
-Play ultra conservative
-Other team scores, wins game late
-Blame goaltending

 

[Scruffy]

Second and third were both saves that NHL goalies make all the time

they shouldve been up at least 4-0 at one point.
bergie and pasta gotta start burying those chances. especially bergeron. put some muscle in those shots.

we just dont cash in and team stick around in these games.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

yup. definitely the 3rd. most goalies stop both

 

[Emerz]

3 wins and 7 loses in our last 10, and somehow keeping hold of a playoff spot, the atlantic is weak this year.

Sorry, nobody's stopping Faulk's goal. OT goal was right under the bar from even closer.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Bull.

 

[ashnathan]

The loss isn't Dobbi's fault directly, the team stunk it up, but for a goalie, hes ****ing awful at keeping pucks out. Lets not forget, the ONLY time's he was actually tested tonight, they scored. Time for McIntyre to come up and ride hot hand, no better time. We're stuck with Dobbie for next year, another bad contract.
