Post-Game Talk: GAME 7 - YUCK!!!! Ducks score 3 in final 4 minutes

[lopey]

Trade Ullmark. Make Swayman the #1. He's ready and is playing better than Linus.

Find a way to put Mason Lohrei in this lineup.

Edmonton needs a goalie. But im not sure who we would want from them. Nugent hopkins doesnt do it. He us another zacha imo. Who else is a contender snd needs a goalie who has a young centre they could give up. Hard to find in a trade

I mean, cheers? I guess?

Cheers

I don’t even care if the Bruins lose a good bit this year. Just don’t lose like that.

Yup I’d much rather have them get blown out than watch them lose the way they did last night

It brought back memories of the Florida series,that was the big issue for me.My expectations aren’t really very high this season either.

Sorry Susan, I was actually joking. When GodFather suggested bringing Claude back I couldn’t help but pretend I thought he meant as a player — hence the “he’s lost a step” bad joke.

On a serious note, I don’t think Claude is a possibility to come back — if only because of his health. But like you, I loved the guy and he was definitely a favorite.

That's funny, earlier when I read your post I took "he's a lost a step" as in coaching, not playing lol. I'm da dumb. Missed the joke.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Montgomery refuses to address the problems this team has with a sustained three man forecheck. Instead of getting stronger along the boards and changing some breakouts, he insists we should play faster and outscore it. That is totally the wrong answer!!

 

[neelynugs]

I’m still taking McAvoy over Montour.

Montour was great against the Bruins, no doubt, but the rest of his post season left a lot to be desired. He went on a stretch of 1 point in 12 games after that series.

montour over mcavoy is a choice. paulie D is probably on an island, fistpumping with a small handful of folks there.

In all fairness, it was a bad joke.

I wouldn’t.

Me either. Charlie Mac is a stud.

 

[Number8]

Glad he's ok but yikes

Holy Shit!!!!!!! That’s a shiner of epic proportions!!!!!!!!!!!

Credit where credit is due. Montour decimated us in that series.

However, I’m trading McAvoy for Montour…. Never. Fortunately, and I’d bet huge money on it, I think Don Sweeney agrees.

This team upfront is significantly degraded from last years team. They relied on Swayman (LA) and Ullmark for at least two W. DeBrusk played well in one game thus far and Beecher though ok defensively, looks like he is very much figuring the NHL out offensively and it has nothing to do with the empty net.

The performance of #18 and #13 the next 3 games is going to be very something to watch.

Montgomery will have last change, so it will be interesting how he deploys those two
against Larkin on Detroit, then Barkov and Toronto's Matthews and Tavares. Florida is still missing Ekblad and Montour.

Coyle has played well against Toronto in the past and he and Zacha played well
in games 3\4 against Florida in top 6 roles, though Hall and Bertuzzi drove the O
against them and they aren't here now.

Yeah, quite a few players to pay particular attention to in this next stretch. Just about everyone, goalies excluded, can play better than they've shown so far, and we will see how Beecher and Poitras (surely he stays) handle things once the initial rush has worn off and they get into the grind of a long season. Interesting stretch ahead.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

i would. you know we arent splitting time with goalies in the playoffs anyways.

How do you know that?

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

That's foolish.

 

[UncleRico]

How do you know that?

What team was the last team to actually platoon in the playoffs? And I’m not talking about a goalie switch due to poor play.

 

[bobbyorr04]

4 chances now.

Do I hear 5?

I counted 3 times for a quarter that Zacha couldn't clear the puck out of the zone...on the same shift. Two weak back-handers and a total whiff on the forehand right in front of the net that led directly to Anaheim's 2nd goal to make it 3-2.

Then Lindholm topped it off with another weak back-hander to set the stage for the tying goal from Terry off Marchand's stick.

The Bruins should start giving out a "golden cow-pie" award to the player most responsible for a loss. The three finalists last night would've been Brown, Zacha and Lindholm........with Zacha taking home the prize.

So that means it can't happen?

Seemed that after the Bruins lost to Florida many posters here called for just that.

No we didn’t:

We called that he didn’t see Linus losing it earlier enough to put in the Sway

I counted 12 times Carlo could have but didn't check someone so hard they got carried off in a stretcher. Trade him for a bag of pucks. We would have won last night if he did.

Vancouver needs a D-man like Carlo to play with Quinn Hughes. If they could pry Pettersson out of Vancouver they should do it without question.

And we would be totally screwed

 

[PaulD]

1000 percent.

This choke job business must end. Monty got thr chalkboard today I'm sure.

If you think you want Heinen .....you didn't watch any Pens games last season

I was thinking about that last night. They should target Gibson. Gibson is under rated. He has had a terrible team in front of him for as long as I can remember.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

The Bruins lose but they get the 3 stars of the game?

OK.

 

[TobanWest]

If you think you want Heinen .....you didn't watch any Pens games last season

If you don't think Heinen is a better option that Brown or Boquist... You haven't seen Bruins games with them in the line up
