[Fenway]

another game played at the level of the opponent

What did Spooner do wrong now? 2nd behind Connolly in icetime

 

[jdz]

Meh its a marathon.

Cant be upset with the team of late, onto the next two winnable games.

All about staying healthy at this point.

 

[Bruinaura]

Everyone seems to be forgetting his injury against TB.

Did they ever show what happened to him? I guess I thought that was just an equipment problem.

Curious to hear what they say about that change at the end of the game. Him ending up in the net reminded me of the goal line save years ago against.... Carolina. Payback for that, maybe?

Really frustrating game for this fan.

Can't complain about the team compiling points of late. But man oh man is execution ever feeling shaky right now.

Didn't score on the breakaway.

 

[2ka RasK*]

1st in the Atlantic division

3rd in the conference

7th overall in the whole league


i'd rather take a overtime loss to Carolina now and hope we even out with wins out west.


Carolina didn't have a regulation shot on goal for over 5 minutes into the game.

that first goal by carolina may have deflated our momentum

 

[Fenway]

21 losses at home

Blows my mind.

Over the past three or four games what is the PP for:against ratio?

 

[Coach Parker]

Hope everyone got a good look at Hanifin tonight. Love watching him play.

 

[DitClapper]

I'd love to see Randell get in a couple games over Connolly. Especially on the California trip.

 

[cat400]

Don't lose site of the fact that since Feb. 9th the Bruins have been playing a very demanding schedule of games every 2nd day with the last 4 games in 6 days all settled in OT.

We can't expect the team to bring their "A" game every night and we should be encouraged as to where they now stand as they enter their final 13 games.

Same here. You need to play heavy.

 

[Daishi]

Second and third goals the Bruins D effectively let the Canes 2 vs 0 Rask in front of the net. Atrocious defense.

The officiating tonight was awful....again.

I wish the NHL had the guts to address it.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

saw that loss coming at 8am this morning.
we want the 5-7 seed anyways

Mike Felger and Mike Milbury break down Ryan Spooner's missed breakaway chance, which lead to a Carolina Hurricanes opportunity and goal.

TSN GO OR SPORTSNET not a peep about Bruins moving into 1st.Not even a word about game.But it talks about Jagr McDavid and Galchenyuk and Wings win too lol No Respect.

Debbie Downer time: We're in first, but we're not REALLY in first. We're 15 points over 500, while TBL and FLA are both 16 points over.

*sad trombone*

But, hey, more encouraging is that the wildcards are each +10, and the first out of the playoffs is +8. It would take an epic collap...

..nevermind. I probably shouldn't complete that sentence.

I'm a little worried. This is a recurring problem: playing to the level of your opponent. You can't always count on an amazing run against better opponents to make it through the playoffs. And you certainly can't count on playing 3 opponents in a row on the back end of their back-to-backs, with a backup goalie to boot.

I think this game is a little closer to the actual Bruins. First and out, or a seven game series where we squeak by.

Not to be a fearmonger or anything (I can hear Ali yelling at me now) but I really, really hope Bergeron isn't injured. The weak stickchecks and slowness on defense brings to mind Game 4 against Chicago in 2013, when he tore rib cartilage on the hit by Frolik. He had two goals in that game but was quite bad defensively, much like tonight (well replace two goals with an assist).

To their credit NHL Network has actually been singing the praises of the Bruins. Both Weekes and Boucher have been very complimentary, including tonight when they moved into first.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

B's very lucky to secure a point last night, they can thank Rask for that. One of the most lackluster games they have played in awhile, no energy and mistakes all over the ice.
