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

[22Brad Park]

interesting, ask em` if we should then not count the 60+ Ovechkin has in his pursuit of Gretzky

Nice win, good hockey day, watched B`s win then BCHL Grizzlies with Boston College bound Tobias Pitka later that evening

Pitka a nice player, one of those kids who does everything very well , won`t bring you outta your seats , plays all situations for the Grizzlies, very responsible 3 zone player while being almost a ppg guy too

Ovie has 62.

The Cap fan is disingenuous. They are putting Ovechkin out in every empty net situation, extended time on pp, and pumping him for offensive zone face offs. If they could make the net bigger, they would.

That's pretty funny. Did a little math, 7.0% of Ovie's total goals have gone into an empty net. Gretzky's career was 6.2%. Pastrnak currently at 4.5%. One could also argue that there's a lot of important games that Ovie likely didn't see the ice up by a goal given his defensive game.

Does this factor in number of games played?

He divided empty net goals into goals scored probably so my answer would be nope.

Pretty solid win, they definitely needed that one, they need this type of effort on a consistent basis.

Poor Poitras was out on the ice at the same time that Frederic was.
Poitras won a nice battle along the board's 10 ft in from the blue line. He looks up and sees Frederic skate over to screen the goalie.
He did this when the slot was completely open, a perfect shooting lane.
Duh!!! Dude...wake up!
Poitras was awarded though playing with Pasta which was nice.

Loved Coyle's game yesterday. Carried the puck well in the O zone, battled strong along the board's.

Wow, I thought Coyle sucked. (except for that goal scoring thing)

No. Just ENG / total goals.

I'd like to see Beecher given a handful of games at either the top 2 lines just to see what he can muster.

Beecher is decent faceoff guy, but cannot score a goal if his life depended on it

He probably wouldn't make 4th line center on most NHL teams

So...I guess Pasta is pretty good.

For all crapping on Brad there were several calls that should have been made because of crap done to him...He had every right to be pissed off. BTW...he got third star of the game.

During the game there were two teenage boys in front of us (on the glass...nice kids). They asked me "Isn't that Bergeron?". I looked down the tunnel thinking maybe Bergy was there for some reason...I said where? They pointed to Matty Falconer (Assistant equipment manager). . One had a signed Roy Bourque jersey on. I said nice! He told me he really did not know who Ray was, but his dad loaned him the jersey
