BRUINS GDT GAME 52 7:08 PM - THE BEAR swims in the Niagara River - NESN, ESPN+, SN, MSG Buffalo, 98.5 WBZ-FM, WGR AM 550

[Alicat]

Had to wait until I was a little older to go to Fenway due to the trough urinal situation. Dads weren’t going into women’s rooms with their daughters in the early 80s

My dad waited to take me to a Celtics game until my aunt bought in to the season ticket group for this very reason. I don’t think I went to Fenway until I was 8 or 9.

I hope we don't get buffaloed in Buffalo...

If someone's gotta score, it may as well be my favorite non-Bruin. Love me some Tage Thompson.

102 mile an hour Bomb he unleashed, poor Sway. He had no chance!

They used to have those at the old Maple Leaf Gardens.....very intimidating let me tell ya! lol

noise-cancelling headphones

those don't protect ears though do they? I thought they worked by actually piping in more noise that just happens to be at opposite frequencies of the exterior noise

 

[nORRis8]

Beecher and some other guys needs to carry the puck more already.
This crap of getting into the Sabres zone then passing it off carelessly.
Carry it. Go around the net if possible. Be patient.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Need a save from Swayman in that goal

Will never blame a goalie for missing a shot from the low-middle slot, especially against a quality player like Thompson. All they can do is guess and hope for the best.

That one's purely on the D IMO for letting Tage walk right down Main St.

more on the forwards not supporting the D

 

[TD Charlie]

Missed the first 15 minutes or so. Just settling into the couch with mini tacos, hash browns, and carrots. Because why the hell not?

Hoping for a better effort going forward.

heckuva goal by the kid

 

[FRyan4426]

This is a classic matchup between a bad team vs a mediocre team.

I don’t think they offer protection.

That was a bomb, can’t blame Swayman 102 mph rocket from 40-5O feet away.

Depends on the type. The active ones do what you mentioned, in which case not so much. But if they are passive and their job is purely to muffle sound, then yes they do, at least to a point.

 

[22Brad Park]

Bad change that turned into a well executed 4 on 3.

O yea Marchand was real late on replay

It was the change, Thompson was the 4th Sabre in the zone with Callahan, Poitras and other B's dman spread out and B's two other players just off bench two strides behind Thompson.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Bruins are about 5 forwards away from being a good hockey team

We went to Fenway a few times. My Grandmother was a big Red Sox fan.

Think after all this time Nesn would realize that the same car commercial causes the nesn360 app to freeze causing a need to restart. Doesn’t happen all the time, but when it does that commercial is usually the one

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Yes, fair point. Bruins got caught on a weirdly-timed change. Pasta and Geekie were gassed and headed to the bench which allowed Thompson to come off the Sabres' bench straight into a massive hole at center ice, before Coyle and Marchy come skate on and fill the gap. Just poor execution there.

Yep, right you are. Just posted the same!

Shawn Hutchinson was floating the idea around that the Bruins should move Lohrei back up to forward, saying he thinks he would really excel. I like the way he’s coming around and don’t really want to mess with it, but wouldn’t be against it. Loads of skill.

 

[Absurdity]

Where Lohrei scored is where Lohrei should be playing on the PP

 

[BMC]

Game on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :

I think that would be the easy and low reward road to take. Skilled forwards are comparatively common, whereas defenders with genuine offensive talent who are also capable in their own end are much rarer. Mason has work to do at both ends - offensively more in terms of confidence, on D in regards to his positioning, reads, ability to use his body etc. - but I think there is a much higher upside in persevering with him as a true two-way defender.

I’d rather be entertained in Houston
