GDT: Game #39 - REMATCH - Buffalo at BRUINS - 12/31 1 PM | NESN, WBZ-FM 98.5

[BMC]

any fights yet?

Nope but Quaider laid out a Sabre with a beauty of a hit

Hayes giving his stick away might be his play of the season.

 

[DitClapper]

Little Czarnik needs to work on getting those pucks out. He needs to have no kinks in his game if he wants to stay at this level.

 

[DKH]

Left something

 

[JCRO]

Czarnik gotta be better there, clear the zone boy!

K Miller was taking a nap out front. Watching everyone else who is tired doing work

Even if that's the case, you shouldn't get 4 minutes of PP toi (like Schaller did last game) if you've been a regular healthy scratch, ffs. The guy hasn't been good enough to dress consistently, yet now he's pulling in the majority of PP TOI? Seriously?

I don't care. Anyone should have scored on that Krejci feed started by a great Vatrano cross ice. Schaller is good enough to elevate the puck over a pad.

Who would you have instead of Schaller on the PP? Hayes? Moore? Blidh? Not like the options are plenty...

Lmao I almost posted this

Love it

Perfect

 

[ashnathan]

Need to keep the foot on the gas and extend this lead, one goal and its game on.

 

[BMC]

Not good seeing Chara gimp like that

 

[KrejciMVP]

Nope but Quaider laid out a Sabre with a beauty of a hit

I can work with that lol thanks!

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Chara looks gimpy

Chara looked like a #1 on that gifted 5 on 3.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

What is Spooner doing?

 

[trenton1]

Even if that's the case, you shouldn't get 4 minutes of PP toi (like Schaller did last game) if you've been a regular healthy scratch, ffs. The guy hasn't been good enough to dress consistently, yet now he's pulling in the majority of PP TOI? Seriously?

I agree he shouldn't be on a PP unit, but give credit where due, his net-front work last game directly lead to Krejci's goal.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Those Buffalo PP's killed their jive

 

[ashnathan]

wtf was that Spoons? Rask's puck handling is a lot better than it used to be.

 

[JCRO]

Have we confirmed whether or not these are the same refs? Just curious

 

[TP]

no fear from Lehner

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Have we confirmed whether or not these are the same refs?

Not sure but all four in this crew are as clueless.

 

[ashnathan]

Man I wish Jimmy scored there

 

[ashnathan]

Killer's been out there a lonnnnnnnng time

 

[smithformeragent]

This should be a penalty on the Bruins.

 

[JCRO]

Not sure but all four in this crew are as clueless.

Yup. Exactly why I ask. Looks like a continuation of last game from the refs

 

[smithformeragent]

Schaller is not good at shooting hockey pucks.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

I agree he shouldn't be on a PP unit, but give credit where due, his net-front work last game directly lead to Krejci's goal.

Yep. He's there for his net front presence. And like I said, it's not like he's on the PP over a more talented/skilled guy. Who would you put over him on the PP?

Bergeron
Krejci
Pasta
Marchand
Spooner
Vatrano
Czarnik

They are all already on the PP. That leaves:

Hayes
Blidh
Moore
Nash

Is one of those more worthy over Schaller to play the net front presence on that 2nd unit? I don't see the outrage over him being on the PP. He should have converted on that Krejci feed tough. Any NHLer should be able to elevate the puck over a pad.
