Post-Game Talk: Game 66 - B's were not ready to play and it cost them - Ottawa 4 BRUINS 2 F

That 2nd goal was ridiculous. Nobody could've saved that.

I'm not getting on him about the second goal. However, the fact that it so quickly followed that first put them back on their heels and set the tone for the rest of the period. It was a bad period.

You have a history of not liking Rask, so that view is not surprising.

All three goals were on screens. I would have liked to have seen him get the first one, but he was not stopping the second, and on the third goal Carlo interfered with his own goalie on the play.

I give Carlo props for what he's done this year, but that isn't the first time he has done that. Keep the front clear, get the **** out of the way and let the goalie see the puck.

God I loathe that song. Makes my ears bleed.

You're right. And Chara is another one, love him and all but its like you said. We do have a couple young bloods that are moving there way up but that's it, there moving on up their just not there yet.

No doubt this team will be better next season and I am sure they will subtract a couple players and I hope they add a couple of new players into the roster.

Adam McQuaid I love his game and all but than we have Kevin Miller who practically plays the same game, only that Adam can and knows how to fight!

I think McQuaid is a better fighter too and is needed to let others know Bruins young guys will not be abused without paying a price . A guy like McAvoy should be able to push Miller out too .That said our GM handed him a 4 yr deal What is the real plan I ask?.Beleskey should play over Schaller too. I see no point with him and Hayes sitting upstairs wasting 6 million of the cap .Lots of wasted money on this roster that could have been better spent .

Well Schaller is out-performing Belesky, it's that simple, which is a sad reflection on the play of Belesky this season.

With 16 games to go and a playoff spot in jeopardy, the Bruins need to ice their best roster....period. Regardless of what the cap hits are.

If that means Belesky sits upstairs for the remainder of the season, so be it. They can't afford to be icing guys to see if somehow they turn it around. Assume what you've gotten out of Belesky is what you will get moving forward for the remainder of the season, and sit him out accordingly. Same with Jimmy Hayes.

 

[VanIsle]

Sounds like a upset you.

I said "I don't think". Not that I know.

How many goals does he have in the past 2 months? Where can I find this information?

Edit: Oh and to my original point about how I'd rather Schaller stayed instead of Debrusk... He scored 8 games ago as opposed to Debrusk's 10 games ago in the AHL.

Did you watch Schaller last nite.Terrible hockey player and on top of it a panzie who let Ottawa bully him. Schaller in his best will never be a better player then Beleskey on his worst days.Time to get Beleskey out on that ice earning that money Bruins pay him.Now you go ahead and throw the numbers at me and bad year Beleskey having And I will counter that he could be huge the last 16 games yet still. When he plays his level it's a level Schaller could never get a sniff of at any time

Well if you don't know, don't say it, if your using it as a argument to shoot down someone else suggestion.

And it's not 10 games ago, it was 10 days ago. Take the time to read post before responding.

I did, and he wasn't good.

Have you watched Belesky at all this season? Seems like you haven't.

Who gives two you-know-whats Belesky is getting paid? Ice the best line-up you can. What part of that don't you get?

Yes I have watched Beleskey and am well aware of struggles he has had this season.But I know too he is a better hockey player then Schaller on his worst days and a harder hitter too boot with way more experience.If the Bruins plan on running Schaller out there down the stretch you can shine your golf clubs up now.

You have a history of not liking Rask, so that view is not surprising.

And you have a history of misinterpreting what I've said. Let's see if you can get it right this time.

Rask is not elite.
Rask is not a great goalie.
Rask is a very good goalie.

Now, if that's me not liking Rask, then so be it. But in my view, that's me saying he's a pretty good goalie.

 

[ReggieMoto]

All three goals were on screens. I would have liked to have seen him get the first one, but he was not stopping the second, and on the third goal Carlo interfered with his own goalie on the play.

He assuredly should have had that first goal. I put it on him. I think many if not most do, too.

Whether the second goal was on him or not -- and I'm not saying it was -- the fact that two goals went in in such short succession in my view put the team on the ropes. They weren't just down but they were down quickly and early and by two goals. Had that first goal been saved like it should have then the first period would have likely been more upbeat and less tense. Bergeron's goal would have been the tying goal putting them back into the game for the start of the second. But it didn't play out like that.

So, yes...I put that first period squarely on Rask due to that shaky first goal.

How about I just say that I don't think Debrusk is good enough to be on the Bruins. Far from it. If you couldn't figure that out by my post then I don't know what to tell you.

I don't know where to find game by game stats for the AHL which you didn't help me with but it seems he hasn't scored a goal in the past 2 months. Maybe he's scored 1 or 2.

Bruins don't win yesterday with Debrusk or any other Providence guy in the lineup.

Right. So when two things happen to you, and one is your fault, but the other isn't, you accept the blame for both?

Right. So when two things happen to you, and one is your fault, but the other isn't, you accept the blame for both?

If:
1) I am a key member on a project team;
2) I am directly responsible for a critical hit to the project schedule early in the project's development; and
3) The project is put at risk as a result despite efforts by me and the rest of the team to get back on track;

You think for one minute I am not at fault for creating a situation that puts the project at risk?

Whether I accept blame or not (character issue) I am certainly going to be held accountable even if the project succeeds but misses the deadline. That's the real world. Anything else is HF fantasy.

The way I look at it," says Esposito, "no matter what happens in front of you, no matter who might have made a mistake on your side, or who might have made a great play on their side, the goalie has last call. He has the chance to stop it, and if he doesn't, it's his fault. Period."
