Post-Game Talk: GAME 63 - A rare third period meltdown - Oilers 3 BRUINS 2 F

[22Brad Park]

Guess I'm alone but I thought Gryz was fine besides the obvious blown tire.

Weird game, not often our top guys are off like that.

There was 2 shifts he was clearly out muscled but I agree he played ok for most part.That play he lost the edge trying to roll to blind side towards blueline was doing to much.Just chip it towards corner would be the play in playoffsAnyways lesson learned.

I had the sportsnet feed .....and I wanted to throw myself out the window. I'll never complain about Jack or Brick again.

Couldn't do any Dracarys so I figured a loss was coming. Too many missed opportunities. To many dipsy do's. Not enough shooting. Sort of a lazy skate by some. Edmonton wanted it more, imo.

Disappointing to say the least.

Levy and Ferraro?

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Yep, every middling team like Edmonton acts like it's the Stanley Cup when they play us while we're trying to rest guys headed into the playoffs.

In the future I want more Lauko and Cliffy though.

Edmonton's major flaw is goaltending. Ekholm brings a lot of stability to the Edmonton D corp.

 

[BTO]

Monty’s gonna be out there with a pellet gun and whoever passed up a shot gets hit with it.

 

[The don godfather]

Lauko zboril in
Grez and greer sit.

Make it so! The godfather has spoken. Book it ! Recipe for success.

 

[frankiess]

The Bruins had the game completely under control. The Oilers couldn’t generate anything on their own. It took two terrible unforced Bruins giveaways for the Oilers to even it up.

Swayman gave the puck away off the dump in on the third goal.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Cliffy's energy was sorely missed. I thought it might be but did not say anything. They missed Foligno in a snoozer like this too.

Agreed, could have used some Uncle Nick energy in this one. Weird game without much flow. The overpassing and not taking obvious shots is just mind blowing Get the clinching points this weekend and commence resting the “senior citizens.”

 

[Forester65]

Game was not fun to watch. Seems wasteful when their goalie lets in a couple questionable early goals and we don't build on it. Offensively, we sat back and let the game slip away.

There was 2 shifts he was clearly out muscled but I agree he played ok for most part.That play he lost the edge trying to roll to blind side towards blueline was doing to much.Just chip it towards corner would be the play in playoffsAnyways lesson learned.

More than him getting out muscled tonight. Ekholm's a beast out there.

Like I said, weird game. Bergeron Marchand -2, with McDavid pointless... sounds like the last stretch of the reg season.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

On a positive note Orlov was a beast out there.

 

[bruinmann77]

The bruins looked like still on vacation

hope they sign Orlov

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Please play Lauko over Greer

Greer was one of their better forwards tonight. Better than Hathaway, Nosek, Bertuzzi, Coyle and Frederic. I am not a Greer fan but I saw a good game from him.

 

[Gordoff]

How did Bertuzzi do tonight? I really wanted to see the 3 new additions on home ice, especially Bertuzzi.

 

[The don godfather]

We have earned a brain fart we used it . I can't stand that Oilers announcer ! Who is that ass clown? It felt like they won game 7 of a Stanley cup final.

 

[Alicat]

 

[Mione134]

Levy and Ferraro?

Was that who it was? I had to mute them.

The only thing that fascinated me was this

If I lived in Canada I'd be buying this all the time. Look at the kitty!

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Bergeron with an off game.
Players not wanting to shoot the puck.
Grzelyck was awful.
Swayman with a subpar game.

The game I watched Bergeron was very good the first two periods and looked spent in the 3rd.

100% I support this.Way more speed.

I liked Greer's game tonight. Better than everyone else in the bottom six w\o question.

 

[Sheppy]

How did Bertuzzi do tonight? I really wanted to see the 3 new additions on home ice, especially Bertuzzi.

His passing is great. His line mates were invisible and/or complete shit.

 

[trenton1]

I also want to take a second to appreciate Krejci just rocking that OIlers defenseman at the end when the Bruins needed possession. The only thing wrong with that hit was that it wasn't on Evander Kane.

 

[Sheppy]

I had the SN feed, I’m not sure who they were but buddy screaming at the top of his lungs made me want to impale myself on a fire hydrant.

 

[22Brad Park]

More than him getting out muscled tonight. Ekholm's a beast out there.

Like I said, weird game. Bergeron Marchand -2, with McDavid pointless... sounds like the last stretch of the reg season.

Yea your right about last stretch .I just want Bruins to get out the regular season healthy as can be and hopefully home ice but take health 1st of course .Out of Conf game tonite vs a team playing to gage itself type deal is how I saw it.

 

[Bruinaura]

 

[ShiftyNifty16]

I'd say this game was 60% Boston losing it 40% Edmonton winning it.

Grzelcyk had a nice assist. Next time maybe for the Bruins.

 

[quietbruinfan]

That might be an interesting practice....

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

On a positive note Orlov was a beast out there.

He was an angry beast, lots of F bombs coming off each shift
