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

[Dennis Bonvie]

3-1 and Zacha has perhaps the worst 30 seconds I’ve ever seen, Anaheim scores and then the bullshit continues

I’m putting it entirely on Zacha. Maybe that’s unfair, too bad. He was dreadful on that shift and it totally gifted all momentum to Anaheim.

When the opponents have 6 skaters, its not really a good idea for our defenseman (McAvoy) to pass the puck from behind the net to Zacha 10 feet in front of our goalie. He was basically surrounded.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

It's only been 7 games. He's played in 6 of them. And only 1 of those games he looked not great, imo. And that was last night.

He's not who I'm worried about. I'm not actually worried about this team. Just gotta find a chemistry going forward. Mental errors cost them the game last night. Fundamentals were lost.

Just clear the puck, we win. It's simple.

His first couple of games he didn't play to his ability, not just last night. He, Zacha, Lindholm and Coyle need to be better.

 

[Blowfish]

Bunch of dummies...Relax everyone its hard for any team to reach perfection. Mistakes happen.

Let's move on from Brown and Boquist......Blah! Get one of Steen Topo McMuffin and/or Richard up already! Heinen is also okay with me.

The Ducks are no chumps...they will challenge for wild card.

The after road trip homecoming hangover was apparent from the get go. The accidental Pasta slap pass on the Coyle goal and the Gibson gift to Gryz glossed it over. And when they went up by two it looked like the Alka Seltzer might be kicking in. But the skates weren't tied tight enough and wound up falling off in the Final Five. OT and shootouts are not where this roster will find comfort, it's more like a shop of horrors. Team D when you only score three is the only remedy.

Please

Check out the open net Joe Veleno missed against Seattle on Tuesday. Twice as worse as Beecher's.

I can’t even fathom dogging McAvoy.

The gap of talent between him and the next best defenseman is like the gap between points from Wayne Gretzky to Trevor Gillies.

McAvoy 6 points in 7 games, +6

The rest of the defense: 7 points in 35 combined games.

The the gap in salary mirrors the gap.in talent......so he should be that much better than his blueline team mates.
As are most number one 80 million dollar Dmen.
I don't compare him to Gryz and Forbert. I compare him to the other 9 million dollar number one D.
Last years play offs he came up way short.
Having said that he is the best they have by far.
But the future Norris trophy conversations that were going on are fading.

They couldn't clear the damn puck when the Ducks had the extra attacker and the OT was a complete dumpster fire with a lazy DeBrusk play in the neutral zone that sent McTavish into the B's zone and scoring.

Be glad you missed it.

Tomorrow is the day. IMO, he's staying and I am willing to fight Cam to make sure it happens.

No way they are sending him back to junior

This shouldn’t even be a question anymore,he’s obviously staying,if he doesn’t to me it would be a telling message that the team doesn’t consider this current team a legitimate contender.

Good post!

Ha ... was that an accidental pass? thought it was perfection passing play.

 

[veganbruin]

The bar is low for me with this team this year for sure. That loss was lower than that bar. This is not an overreaction. This is not an overreaction. This is not an overreaction.

Good repsonse, if I had stated Beecher missing the open net was the worstest I'd ever seen.

Hope its a while before he sees numbers like that again.

One goal went in off his defence skate and one went off Marchand stick both in close,he definitely wasn’t the issue last night,well maybe he should have cleared the puck on his own or put one in the empty net ,he’s slacking off.

Three goals a game currently puts the Bruins at 13th in the league.

Its not that bad.

 

[The don godfather]

I want to see Heinen signed today.

1000 percent.

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

 

[NDiesel]

So much blame to go around but I'll start right at the top. WTF did they see in Brown that he was the 1st FA they signed? He's proven, and continues to prove , he has no business in the NHL.

They sent him down to bring him back up WTF was that about?

It seems like recent years they have to fill their quota of having a guy who provides zero offense on the 4th line. Wagner, Foligno, Nosek, and now Brown

 

[goldnblack]

He’s fine. Lindholm is useless in this current state…well…just a mins eater. Carlo and Gryz are okay. Forbort and Shattenkirk are actually playing above their capabilities, which is a problem.

So…half your D isn’t up to par.

Lindholm coming back to life could make it livable.

Hadn't seen this till now. I had just bumped the Hampus thread.

What is going on with him? Do we think physical or mental or both? That's not the same player who contended most of last year for the Norris. He seems so out of it.

I can't believe he was on for all four goal yesterday. Statistically that's hard to do.

Well it shows it can happen. Veleno is better than Beecher.

Foligno scored plenty in that role last year.

Yep, we've seen way better players than Veleno miss empty nets too.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

songs the gap in salary......so he shoukd be that much better.
As are most number one 80 million dollar Dmen.
I dint compare him to Gryz and Forbert. I compare him to the other 9 million dollar number one D.
Last years play offs he came up way short.
Having said that he is rhe best they have by far.
But the future Nortis trophy conversations that were going on. NAH

He won't ever win a Norris I agree, but I'll take him over Nurse and though I think he makes $8M over Werenski.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

1000 percent.

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

Sure, signing Heinen would solve that choke job business.

 

[NDiesel]

Foligno scored plenty in that role last year.

yeah i meant the prior year he was the no offense guy, last year he picked it up and Nosek was the guy.

 

[JerseyBruin]

Too be fair, 3 on 3 OT is a gimmic. Whoever wins the faceoff will usually carry the play and will circle the ice and regroup numerous times as the Ducks did

Still would rather see a game decided that way then the Shootout skills comp.

 

[Ladyfan]

My normal response would be, "If Danton Heinen is the answer, I don't want to know the question."

But . . .

First, he is responsible with the puck, which this team needs a dose of. I'm not a fan of Heinen but I give him full credit for that.

Second, I'd love for Monty to sit JDB and tell him that Danton F---ing Heinen is taking his spot. Maybe that will send a messasge.

At least Danton puts forth effort. He really is a decent player as a bottom 6.

 

[The don godfather]

Better then brown boqvist I feel. Everything helps.

They all forgot how to hockey during that stretch. Zacha’s soft clearing attempts stood out the most to me
