The most annoying thing about opposing fans is that they go into the left entrance of the mens bathroom and try and cut across to the urinals.

 

[Canes]

We're that good? 5 powerplay goals? I would have guessed it was more like 2 or 3.

i think i've solved the mystery of our powerplay futility. I think the canes have a noble, but fundamentally flawed understanding of what power play means.

They (opposing fans) do this at Hornets and Panthers games too. Annoys me to no end.

We are unable to get to "our game" because we can't control the puck. We play fast because we move the puck. But we can't move the puck because we can't handle it. The Bruins know this, so they're just pressuring the puck all over the ice, daring us to make a skilled play. This is what's killing our power play. If we were able to make two quick, short, crisp passes, we'd have an open net, because the Bruins are basically ignoring our two guys in the middle. They're on the point men and on the boards. They know they can pressure us and turn us over.

I know I'm fighting a losing battle with this "power play coach" idea that will somehow fix everything, but the guys *know* what to do. They just can't do it. They know what the Bruins are doing, and they know how to beat it. I know and I'm sitting in my living room in PA. They just can't execute it. We can't handle the puck, and that will kill any power play.

I have to pee, but these lines are ridiculous. I'll grab another beer and wait until the period starts. Worst case scenario, I miss an early Bruins goal.

What do you think will fix it?

The bathroom lines? A Thanos snap should do it.

Might I suggest a stadium buddy?

It's amazing how many times our PP guys willingly turn to face the boards with the puck.

You're like asking for them to double team you and force a turnover.

have we scored first all series?

 

[My Special Purpose]

What do you think will fix it?

Quickness and confidence with the puck. Right now, we're not confident. An effective Jake Bean would be a great addition. There's more, but I'm watching the game on my computer.

Up 2-0 in game one

LMAO, not even making Rask work. He's barely trying.
