Post-Game Talk: GAME 57 - Disaster in the Third Period - Vegas 4 BRUINS 3

[Aussie Bruin]

Why is that?

There is no freeze at midnight.

If Donny doesn't make any moves by midnight he turns into a pumpkin.

Hes deadline donny this is going all the way at last day of trade at 4 pm. He rarely makes a trade before.

 

[Coach Parker]

If Donny doesn't make any moves by midnight he turns into a pumpkin.

Donny won't make a move during the break to piss off:

1. Cozy players with NTC's.
2. Boss Betts.
3. The amazing 'culture' in Boston.

 

[Ratty]

Selling or buying?
To me selling is getting rid of certain players in exchange for draft choices.
To me buying is getting rid of certain players in exchange for other established NHL players.

If the above is incorrect, please let me know.

I’d just add that buying is trading prospects and draft pics for established NHL players. Something, above all else, they should not do.

 

[easton117]

Makes sense, move all three. Brad as well

I keep Geekie. On the correct line he’s a good player.

By correct he should be a high 3rd low 2nd line winger. Can’t say it for all of them but at least he looks like he gives a shit

 

[The don godfather]

Just buy low if your not gonna retool properly. Get Zucker type players and dont blow the farm. Get rid of fred for a 2nd round pick because for some reason teams want him.

 

[pgm16]

Shit show of a season...someone needs to save this franchise quickly or we are doomed.

 

[Deal Law]

Hey dont look now but our old buddy ryan donato might pop 30 goals this year. Watch Donny trade a 1st for him. ( that could be a thing knowing Donny gonna swing and get a guy projected to go late first or 2nd round pick and picks him at 13.)

Trade Coyle for him

 

[easton117]

Trade Coyle for him

I hear the Circle of Life song right now…..

 

[Bruinator]

I miss debrusk. It is so depressing to think that sweeney could have signed Debrusk for far less than Lindholm and have a line of marchand coyle and debrusk instead of what our second line looks like now.

 

[22Brad Park]

Sweeney should be one talking and facing music

 

[easton117]

Since then.

When you watch a Bruins game now here is what you feel and expect:

1. Bruins get a PP, you're going to be pissed in 2:01.
2. Bruins last two minutes in any period: goal against.
3. 6 of the Bruins forwards 'almost' (don't kid yourselves, they just choke) score on a chance but they 'got a bad bounce'.
4. No trade.
5. No change.
6. At the end of the game, you're here angry and wish you didn't watch because you should have known 1-5 was going to happen again.
BONUS: Pastrnak will look even more fed up after each game.

I miss the days of the guaranteed puck over the glass penalty with 5 to go.

Simpler times.

I actually was tap dancing when we signed lindholm I thought he was krejci type. I'm pissed.

It’s called a Sweeney. Whenever he’s gone big in the off season on FA forwards he's swung and missed big time

Yea david backes comes to mind . That was terrible signing.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

So the Golden Knights PP actually went 3/2 against the Bruins.


Sad but 100% true.

He's padding his resume for his next job instead of doing his current one.

This is the best comment on here, a timmies triple/double

 

[The don godfather]

I'm glad this break is here too much stress watching this team . I'm gonna relax and watch some classic movies tonight escape from new York. Who likes that one here?

 

[LouJersey]

Again probably not a sane thought, but I am just tired of seeing most of these same guys. I have seen enough of Coyle, Carlo and even Marchand. Not even performance related, just time to go IMO lol.

I know you are stuck with most of the defense and I do think Lindholm steadies it and they get better. I am a Swayman fan. I was a big Korpi critic but he comes to play.

Forward wise they are a disaster. Pasta is Pasta. Stud. The rest other than Poitras I could care less if they ever played another game for this team. I sell high on Geekie. I sell period on Coyle, Marchy and Freddy. I really have to see Lysell and Merkulov here for the next ten to see if they can give some life.

It's losses like today that make me infuriated with Neely's "Can they outscore their mistakes" BS 1980s mentality.

loved it.

 

[Bruin4]

Backes, Belesky and now Lindholm. You could technically add Jimmy Hayes traded for him and then signed him to a multi year contract, then ended up buying him out.

Jimmy Hayes trade was brutal God rest his soul

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

If Donny doesn't make any moves by midnight he turns into a pumpkin.

So we get a more effective GM at midnight if no moves are made. Cool.

 

[the negotiator]

Home from the game, made sure to read the game time thread and this thread before writing

The omen - When Geekie didn't lift the puck after a sweet feed from Pasta everyone in our section kind of sighed and said 'here we go again' -sadly we were right

Vegas didn't seem to be ready in the first period and the Bs we sharp in their skating and passing - one of their best periods in a while

About 5-6 minutes into the second period the game began to shift towards Vegas....and yet except for a last minute goal ( where have we seen this before) the Bs could have gone off leading by two

The third period was all Vegas and frankly I was surprised the final score wasn't more like 6-3; when a power play goal is revered and the other team comes back in less than 30 seconds to score again it is clear the Bs can not compete with a good team.

A couple of takeaways
- if ever a game was exhibit #1 for the need to be a seller this one was it

-it's not that the Bs lack talent- they have a fair amount and which we saw in the first period. What they lack is mental toughness and resiliency....this is a team that plays not to make a mistake versus make a play and the result is what we are seeing

-Beecher has regressed, Poitras looks lost, Lohrei shows promise but is inconsistent - so much of this goes to coaching or the lack thereof

-only a few players showed much effort today(Pasts, Zadorov, Marchand until he ran out of gas in the third). The list of no-shows is long and familiar needs drastic change. Frederick, Coyle, Carlo are top of my list to deal away ....and please can we stop the Johnson-Leterri-Wahlstrom revolving circle of ineptitude and bring up Lysell and/or Merk- they can not possibly do worse

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Won't lie, when Vegas tied it up in the 3rd I turned it off, called the wife down and we finished watching the last 2 episodes of season 2 of 24. We are re-watching it after last seeing it about 10 years ago. Glad I did it judging from the reactions on here, I know I would have been as pissed as everybody else, never would have considered doing this in prior years.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

This game was the Bruins season in a nutshell. Some good, more bad, inability to stop late goals, bad special teams, unforced errors, a few moments of quality but in the end no ability to hold back good teams when they really turn the screws.

Their Cup chances ended long ago, I think today is where their playoff chances realistically died as well. The math and schedule are now heavily against them, aside from the general inconsistency of their play. I believe management knows this and I am quite confident now that at the very least they won't be major buyers pointlessly giving up firsts and the like. It simply remains to be seen what else they do.

 

[22Brad Park]

Blues GM Army setting prices high and will get it .Watch Sweeney give players away
