Post-Game Talk: Game 79 - Whalercanes 4 BRUINS 1
- Thread starter Fenway
- Start date
Brazeau might just appear to be a 4th line guy but he was really making things happen. They need him back in the playoffs, he could make a difference. He was born for playoff hockey .

HF started charging @Fenway by the thread, so we’ve been letting the GDTs run later to get more use out of them before locking.
He said that with the money saved, he’s going to buy us all ice cream.
I tend to agree with this. The Bs are a very well coached structured team, but when it’s time to impose their will on a team and change momentum, they don’t seem to have an extra gear to do it. They don’t dominate when it’s needed the most. On the other hand, teams seem to have stretches where we get easily dominated. Like at the end when other teams need to tie the game. I don’t agree w Brick when he says they have solved closing out games. I think it’s all still there. Also, I do believe the Bs will be the team getting worn down by repetition in a playoff series of seeing the same team. The beauty of a playoff series. You can run a guy through the boards with 10 seconds left and losing by 5, but the hit will be worth it.

Thought that game was gonna get spicy after the first.
B's put their tail between their legs the last 40.
Marchand causing a ruckus then disappearing.
Only guys that showed up was that third line of 74-70-11 & 73

Marchand better be a hell of lot better in the playoffs and not be a side show like he was last night. His entire line was embarrassing

In a 82 game schedule there will be games like last night - given their overall play the last couple of weeks this goes in the crap happens bin to be discarded and forgotten
But .....their habit of playing well then delivering a stink bomb is the formula for losing a a seven game series. Keeping their focus for an entire series is something they need to peove they can do
And to echo several posters above - while overall face-off stats may not look that bad the eye test says that when there is a crucial face-off ( pp, pk, goalie pulled) the success rate feels anemic ...like staying focused, losing key draws is a major warning sign on the road to getting eliminated

Theres a reason why eyewitnesses are one of the least reliable forms of evidence.

My blood pressure, which is in a perfectly healthy range, would not enjoy this.

McAvoy is a monster
they get Lohrei going this will be a special D
Peeke on third pair is a big win
Bruins could use Guentzel - they need that guy behind Pastrnak to allow Marchand be third guy
But I’m so impressed by McAvoy
I’m excited for playoffs but I’m excited for offseason to see what happens
Basically I’m just exciteable

Good point forgot about him
I was thinking in first period when the pace was like a playoff game I wish Brazeau was in game to see how he handles the speed
Carolina forwards are quick and experienced and were on everything
I thought whatever was bothering Orlov early he’s over it he looked good

Bang on my man
He really is
We were sitting at Porters before game discussing the ratings of players in our SIM hockey league and how ridiculous it is Quinn Hughes and even Adam Fox are rated above Mac
Funny we were discussing such a marquee/cult team like Boston could have a guy like McAvoy who’s underrated
Lohrei is that Kluzak talent that Sinden wanted to take burden of Bourque
Hopefully Monty plays him
Bruins D looks pretty intriguing going forward
That's my idea too. Guentzel or another good scorer on the 2nd line. Marchand to the third.
Heinen -- Zacha -- Pasta
Guenztel -- Poitras -- Coyle
Marchand -- Frederic --Geekie
I would like to see:
Frederic -- Zacha -- Pasta
Frederic with 18 goals playing with mix of forward lines
If Montgomery put him with Zacha he would be heading for 30.
Add in bit of security for Zacha and Pasta.
Sorry Heinen’s 16 goals is nothing playing with these guys.
You will all see come playoffs they will get run over.

So was talking to Eric this afternoon we had something like this
Heinen -Zacha - Pastrnak
Marchand - Coyle - $$$$$
Frederic - Poitras - Geekie
Beecher - Boqvist - Brazeau
???? DeBrusk (I want to keep but do they)
Lysell & Merkulov are probably ready
Outside FA ????
Defense seems easy peasy
Lindholm- McAvoy
Lohrei - Carlo
Spoon - Peeke
