Post-Game Talk: GAME 54 - BRUINS 6 NYR 3

[badbrewin]

Don't get me wrong, I want the B's to win, but not at the expense of hovering around a wildcard spot and creating delusions they're good enough to even win a round....thus forego selling.

They have the thinnest prospect pool in my 45+ years as a fan and need to think about stocking it up.

So they beat a lower seeded team with an atrocious D and brutal goaltending, yippee. Today did nothing to convince me they shouldn't be sellers.

To me it's all about speed. Rangers were not playing particularly fast and so the Bruins, with a solid work ethic, did well. When they face teams that are really motoring they make blunders, poor decisions, can't keep up and sometimes the wheels fall off and they get blown out like Buffalo and Winnipeg. Look at all the games they've lost big this year and it's pretty much all fast teams that play up tempo. Bruins can keep up for parts of those games but never for a full 60.

Poitras. You can clearly see the skill. A natural playmaker, but he also illustrates how little high end talent is on this roster. On the ice with Pasta he made perfect set up plays and they got goals. This is also the problem with these guys when we dump them on the third line with middling muckers. They need other skilled players to play with to succeed. It'll be the same with Lysell or Merkulov or anybody else. Talent needs to be on lines with other talent. It's a problem.

Also still really worried about Poitras getting hurt. These kids today just don't play the wall the way players used to and they aren't ready for the cheap hits from behind. Turned his back on the penalty and also on the set up to the goal. Same moves. He needs more awareness as he grows or he's going to get hurt.

Don't be fooled, this team needs to sell. A retool if they use cap money wisely might not take too long, but staying the course will be a big mistake.

Great win, important win, against a team that has given us fits at home in recent years. They didn't cave in after the two Miller goals.

Guys we may only be 9-12 pieces away tbh

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

today ???? hahaha he have 23 pts in last ten !!! today hahaha

Yes today. Figure eights around the blue line waiting for the big slap shot doesn’t cut it.

I like the guy. Trade everyone but him.

He needs some Bergeron in him.

Pastrnak has put the team on his shoulders in 2025 and is pretty well responsible for whatever success the Bruins have had. Morgan Geekie can thank him for the salary increase he will be getting starting next year. He is showing why he is considered a top 10 player in the league. On the negative side the Bruins continue to give up so many high quality chances that's it's hard to envision them going on any kind of significant winning streak.

 

[Absurdity]

Never move Pastrnak.

Just find him a 1st line C who thinks the game at his level while he is playing at this level.

Poitras

But, Brady Tkachuk.

That's a START!

Lindholm is getting some points now. Good.

 

[PB37]

Lindgren absolutely wrecked him with a hit from last season. That might be the reason why.....

It's been going on longer than that though between the two of them. Pasta also ran him from behind last season and got ejected. Year before that, Pasta nailed Lindgren with blindsind, semi late open ice hit which was in response to Lindgren knocking Pasta down with a crosscheck awkwardly into the boards. The hit put Lindgren out with an injury. You never see Pasta go after anyone the way he does when he sees Lindgren.

I know a few for sure who was tearing him apart. That said everytime I complain about a player (on any team) they score.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Sacco Magic

Great job putting first Line together

But benching Marchand is mean

Cassidy was mean and what it get him

 

[BamBamCam]

Why only the Americans?

Because thats 65% of the team

 

[Blitzkrug]

Why only the Americans?

Because the teams will have to pay 25% more for the American players in trade talks now, duh!

 

[bruins19]

Fun win. Always nice to put one over the Rags. Was especially pleasing to see Poitras play a really solid game. Pasta in full flight is always amazing.

Changes nothing about where this team is at and what they should do going forwards. But as a couple of hours of good entertainment, no complaints.

Nice game by Potsy.

Great setup

Well played, Sir. Well played.....But only the Canadian teams will have to play the +25%

 

[PlayMakers]

Zadorov led the team with 26:01 of ice time today, and finished +2.

Pasta is up to 8th in the NHL in scoring and 7th in goals. 4 goals shy of 2nd place.
