Post-Game Talk: GAME 9 - THROW THE CAT OFF THE CLIFF!!!! - BRUINS 3 Sunrise 2 F/OT

[Glove Malfunction]

Yes, its too early.

Hard to fault a guy that has a goals against of 1.77 and save percentage of .939.

Eye test hasn't seen much of a distinction to me.

That was more directed at the notion that Ullmark was this season's MVP, when he hasn't even been the team's best goalie (through 4 games each). Both have been great, though Swayman has been a bit better. My eye test shows Swayman being more consistent, while Ullmark has made a bunch of truly great stops. It's just too early to anoint either one the MVP yet.

 

[Grimey]

I personally love Bennett & the way he plays

Classic love/hate player. If he was on the B's he'd be loved around here.

I wanted the Bruins to go after him when it was rumoured the Flames were moving him. I know a few here did as well.

I don't wanna hear any linus trade proposals. Ever. Mvp of team last year and looks like this year too.

You called him mentally weak like two games ago lol

What a nice problem to have. 2 great goalies snd of course HB has to argue who is greater lol

Some of these comparisons between our goalies here remind me of my youth.

Many years ago I was involved in a torrid, smoking hot romance with Elle McPherson. Of course at the same time I was very very physically involved with Bo Derek. We were all just crazy kids and couldn't get enough of each other every damn night of the week. Fun times.

But I tell you what, on a Saturday night it was hard to know how to play it. Bo? Elle? Bo? Elle?

Of course league rules wouldn't let me play both at once so I had to pick. Unfortunate, damned inconvenient, and very square if you ask me.

 

[BMC]

He is Russian spy. Nervous he is under suspicion.

Oof, better than the sides of the helmet. Seen some serious lacerations from those.

Its a catch-22, you both take your helmets off and someones head is most likely hitting the ice on the takedown. Keep them on and you mangle your hands which are kinda important.

Boris & Natasha vs Moose & Squirrel. I know who I'm betting on!

 

[bruins19]

Ya I can see that. I travel a lot for work so I’ve taken advantage of other broadcasts too. Especially if it’s the vegas broadcast with Goucher.

There are certainly times when Jack is on some nonsensical tirade or he’s on his 10th metaphor of the first period and I’m just like damnit jack will you stfu and call the game for once.

However this year it’s his last year so I’ve been tuning in no matter what. But regardless he’s super passionate for the team so have to respect that.

He really struggles at times to get his words out. I feel for him. Hope whatever is ailing him improves.

 

[Otherworld]

Watched the 3rd. Nice to see the B's push back.




McAvoy is gonna get some games for that hit......

 

[Blowfish]

Boston doesn't have the offense Toronto has and Woll is playing like a Wall...lol.

Not going to be pretty the next 4-5 games without 2\3 of their best puckmovers.

Going to be trial by fire for one Mason Lohrei.

Any D call up confirmations?

 

[bruins19]

Forbort has been excellent.

He contained Tkachuk more than once last night.

Linus Ullmark since signing in Boston:

70-16-4, 2.12 and .929 SV%

Linus Ullmark since signing in Boston:

70-16-4, 2.12 and .929 SV%

Just to add to the absurdity of these stats... 5 of those regulation losses came in his first 9 games. He has been otherworldly since January 2022.

 

[NDiesel]

One thought I had after Charlie's goal - if he can take the next step offensively he can really take some pressure off the rest of the team from the offense they lost in the offseason.

We spent the offseason wondering which forward some of these points might come from to replace Bergy/Krejci, would be a nice surprise if some of that comes from McAvoy finally filling a bigger offensive role. Almost a PPG so far.

 

[22Brad Park]

Flames gonna sell and have that centre we need. Nice to dream.

Ya it'll help if he doesn't head hunt. At least it's just a phone hearing I guess.

Great numbers #s but shit bed twice in playoffs ..Being fair though he helped get them to playoffs.

Here we go again. First it was Jake had a drinking problem, now he's having mental health issues. Just because some posters think he should be playing better. This is really irresponsible to just fling things around like this (and I know you are responding to someone who dropped the mental issues first).

To be fair. This drinking rumor came from a poster on here who "heard" it from Sean Avery's podcast.

I don't believe that for one second, as the Boston media is ruthless. And if it were true, you'd hear it on Felger and Mazz. Sean Avery is so irrelevant that nobody cares what he says.

It was random he (Avery) was on foxnews last night talking about the Adam Johnson story

It's so crazy for him to throw out this rumor that Jake was drunk and that's why he was late to the team meeting but NOBODY else has said it, published an article on it, or commented on it. It's irresponsible by him.

But then again, Sean Avery is an absolute douchebag so I don't believe a word he says on anything. Lol

ullmark for lindholm

Avery is a Leafs fan who has a history of hating on Jake DeBrusk going back to the series where Kadri headshot Jake and got suspended. Avery said the only thing wrong with Kadri's hit was that he didn't take out a row of Jake's teeth in the process.

Sean Avery shares expletive-filled rant about Bruins winger Jake DeBrusk

Sean Avery never shied away from a chirp or on-ice confrontation during his 10-year NHL career. On Saturday, the retired winger chimed in on the dispute between Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk and his Maple Leafs counterpart, Nazem Kadri. DeBrusk and Kadri scuffled multiple times Saturday during...

So yeah, garbage in, garbage out.

I had no idea he said that. Not surprising but wtf.

Guy is no joke the biggest clown

Complete sociopath

 

[GoBs]

Clifton almost the same hit as the McAvoy‘s and Cliffy got two games

 

[lopey]

Nothing yet on Mac?

 

[Forester65]

Has DeBrusk not looked good or just not playing to what fans expect based on last year? To me those are two very different things. Has he played to level he did last year? no. Has he looked awful? no. Do the number indicate that he's playing poorly? no.

I have seen him make several good defensive plays this year. Wouldn't necessarily accuse him of coasting. He definitely gelled well with Bergy and Brad last year. Montgomery has been shuffling the lines this year. He may just be trying to figure out how to play with constantly changing linemates. Some people need stability to thrive.
