BRUINS GDT GAME 39 12:38 PM - THE BEAR doesn't fear Alex Ovechkin - NESN, ESPN+, SN (Except Ontario), 98.5 WBZ-FM

[KillerMillerTime]

Caps goalie had their back, ours didn’t. Simple as that.

Swayman gave up 2 goals and he's to blame? How about the Forwards misfiring?
What a misdirected take.

 

[NeelyOrr]

Caps blocked shitload shots man


Pasta been playing injured & it's been no secret

Well, if he's injured, he shouldn't be playing. That is if he's actually injured.
I'm not a big fan of Pasta, so I tend not to give him an excuse.

What a misdirected take.

My only complaint with J-SWAY is he doesn't shoot enough.

The hate for some is real Sway got paid so it should be 50 games and 50 shutouts. Unreal

 

[NeelyOrr]

The only difference I observe in Pasta's play compared to previous years is his shots aren't going past the goalie. The league is now quite aware of his one-timer and has closed that scoring opportunity, which was a big part of his scoring.
As for the rest of his game it's weak. It's always been weak.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

As the Marchands and Geekies of this club go, so go the results.

There are times where they look more than competent offensively.

There are times they look anemic.

Cannot honestly expect them to do much in the playoffs with this cast up front. Nor do I see a path to add anyone who moves the needle significantly.

They are being impacted significantly by Pastrnak's lack of goal scoring to this point.
Guy should normally have 6 more goals at this point. That's worth probably 2-3 points
in the standings. DeBrusk took offense with him they clearly haven't replaced.

It seems he has missed the net more on prime chances.

I do believe he stills leads the league in shots on goal.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

He isn't bashful on shooting the puck.

 

[NeelyOrr]

One of the talking heads during the winter classic in Chicago made an interesting point. He stated that the best player in the draft gets rewarded by going to the worst team.
I liked that.

He isn't bashful on shooting the puck.

Well, that's pretty much all he's getting paid for.

 

[JOKER 192]

Someone needs to tell the Bruins that it's not a positive when you have 4 forth liners on you bottom 6. The idea is to have 2 or less. Ok, bye.

 

[BMC]

Why the need for a sarcastic reply? The players I mentioned are attainable salary wise and Kreider is VERY available.

He is also 34 years old.

 

[The don godfather]

Lindholm is gotta pick it up more.

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

He is also 34 years old.

Very durable though. The guys neck is wider than his head for crying out loud! I’d love to have the rest of his contract.

 

[Babajingo]

Someone has to explain to me what Carlo brings to the table? The only positive I see is that he has a reach? absolute zero offense, not physical, horrible passer,

He misses Lindholm big time.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

It's a mystery to me why Pasta, Frederic, Coyle, Carlo and Swayman's seasons have been so far below expectations,

Pasta has some type of nagging injury (my bet is lower body/groin). Frederic is not finding chemistry with his ever-changing linemates, Coyle is picking up lately, Carlo is just Carlo(he’s never going to be who many HF’ers want him to be).
Sway missed all of camp by holding out and IMO misses(in a different way)Linus as his partner and true buddy, although Korpi has been a good surprise (thanks again goalie Bob).

 

[PlayMakers]

36 scoring chances? What the hell do they consider a scoring chance.

Bruins only had 27 shots on goal and I don't recall many of those being difficult chances.

You can have a scoring chance and no shot on goal. A breakaway where you beat the goalie and put the puck over the net, for example. The Bruins had a lot of really good looks that they missed.

[Hookslide]

Teams are probably interested because they think they can get Freddy cheap. Because, ya know, he's been lousy this season.

Isn't gonna be a bidding war.

You might be right, but I did not say there would be, what I was trying to say is if there is enough is enough interest then try and create a market, not sure are not right, but a good GM, should be trying to do so. If they could get him going again, it would help the cause, I would not give him away though, and I know you will not agree with me, but if needed and possible, sign him with a limited NTC. I know he will be a FA, but take nothing for granted.

 

[Hookslide]

I actually thought today he was more noticeable than he has been, didn’t accomplish much but I did notice him.


It’s up to Swayman . Just hope he catches fire . It is possible.

You cannot win many games when scoring zero or one goal in a game, but they were playing pretty well, maybe a timely save might have helped, but who knows.

People blaming Swayman and never played nets in their life

Well, if he's injured, he shouldn't be playing. That is if he's actually injured.
I'm not a big fan of Pasta, so I tend not to give him an excuse.


My only complaint with J-SWAY is he doesn't shoot enough.

The guy can't win here.Hats off playing through it knowing they need him.

 

[shelbysdad]

How many times a game do we hear...

Bruins shot.....just over the crossbar

Bruins shot.....just wide

Hit the damn goal

The team keeps trying to feed him even though he's covered. Like I said before, this team doesn't seem to learn from their mistakes! Coaches continue to put players in positions to fail. Geekie is a third liner, Brazzeau is a passable second liner or a good third liner, Chuckie should never see PP time, Freddy should be in the ECHL.

How many games this year did we score in the first few minutes to be the only goal in the game? Only one I can remember winning and Swayman stood on his head to get the win 1 to 0. The goalies are the only real positive this season and the only positive for this game was the Chuckie hit on Chycrin.

'Just had Dunkin'': Capitals poke fun at Bruins after 3-1 win

After their victory, the Capitals wished the opposing fans a safe return home, but each vehicle had its own theme.

Dunkin' Donuts, the popular Massachusetts coffee chain, was featured in the jab. Washington also discussed the Boston Celtics and the New England Patriots' offensive line situation. Even a popular meme of comedian Larry David's camera frozen during a Zoom call was featured.

It was a hard fought hockey game.
