Post-Game Talk: GAME #46 B's back to .500 at Garden - Marchand 5 points - BRUINS 6 - Flyers 3 F

[Fenway]

Thought they might wear their thirds today, maybe they will Monday?

They are scheduled to wear them 10 more times this year so I fully expect Monday to be one of them.

Wear them while they can.

 

[PB37]

Wow, really? That's actually kind of impressive, considering a 1 PM start can mess with their rhythm even more than a simple 1 or 2 hour time zone shift.

Maybe all this talk about having family distractions, getting older has some merit. I guess B's ought to be heading to dinner for the early bird special right about now. Anyone know if Florida's looking for a third franchise?

Damn good game. Bergeron looks like he's going to be back on an upswing at any moment now. And, for once, they didn't leave their goalie out to dry, and won a game despite having 3 goals against.

The only thing on my checklist left is to win a game (preferably in regulation) without Rask. If we can't do that, we've got about 10 scheduled losses coming up this season. Maybe that gets checked off Monday?

Bergeron has 8 points in his last 9 games; he's on the upswing now.

I knew teams had games in hand on us, but how and/or why the hell have the Bruins played 46 games and Toronto has only played 40...

 

[DitClapper]

Wear them while they can.

Those jerseys give off a bad vibe to a bad time for me. That Winter Classic was embarrassing.

 

[Coach Parker]

For whatever reason they play like they do on the road in the matinee games. There is enough of a sample size now to indicate something is in play there.

Smells like new practice facility. Don't use it on the road or matinee games.

Part of it can be explained by the bye week that every team is getting this season. Leafs had their bye week beginning of January, Bruins don't have their week off until mid February.

Leafs play 3 of those games in hand during the Bruins bye week in February. For all of February Leafs play 14 games, Bruins only 10 so the games in hand gap will be closed up some in February. Did not look at the March/April schedules so I don't know when the Leafs make up the other in hand games.

Wild Card 2 is now a viable playoff outcome if the Leafs and Sens make their games in hand count.

Let's catch Montreal !!

 

[Coach Parker]

Past 3 games:

Shots for: 114
Shots against: 59

Dominating efforts lately.

need Landeskog

What was their record? 1-1. Dominate with a lack of finish and ladies & gentlemen you have the Boston Bruins.

 

[LSCII]

Marchand had a great game today. Glad he showed up, otherwise I fear it would have been another sub 2 goal game for them...

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

Sounds like i missed a good one

 

[Fenway]

I think that is part of the equation.

 

[Ladyfan]

Just in.

Before today I had never met (at the B's home games) a nice Flyers fan. The guy in the front row today was a good one.

What's up with all of those phantom calls on Pasta ?

Marchy , Bergy and the Hobbit had fun today.

Chara was pissed off early on this one. He had those beady eyes and was all wound up.
I thought he had a good game and love when he plays angry.

Someone always gets hurt when we play the stinking flyers. I hope Kevan will be back soon.

Thanks! Guessing it's the third Monday of January, then, since Wiki didn't have anything for the date.
Much better cause for a holiday than most!

First: Thanks Fenway for your post game format thread with game summary, event summary and nhl video. Find it easy to check add. Info since boston website is not as easy as it was. Very appreciated.

Nice win Bruins. DKH said winner goal by Bergy. But what a minster gsme by Marchy.

Nice win.

+1

Thanks Fenway and to all those who do up the threads with great info

 

[BruinLVGA]

Great news for us Bruins fans in Europe. And apparently also for the Bruins' chances of making the playoffs.

Amen brother. This is a boon for me in Switzerland.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Marchand with 5-points!?

Amazing. 43 in 46

 

[JCRO]

Demmmm bruwinsssss

 

[GloveSave1]

Not a big fan of the Blidh major last game...not big on this one on the flyers.

Looks like he lost his balance...

Just like Blidh, borderline minor.

One of the worst reffed games in a while. Putrid for both teams.

Domination with lack of finish (= this year) is a better starting point / foundation than being dominated and hoping for all stars to align for a win (= last year).

I agree. NBA refereeing has infiltrated the NHL.
