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

[Alicat]

Chuckie is going to miss a few.

Lohrei time?

It was Lohrei time before McAvoy got tossed. we’re down 2 D with Gryz out

 

[NeelyDan]

DeBrusk is definitely giving off that running at 50% vibe that he showcased so well during Bruce’s last season. Pretty irritating to watch a guy with that much talent coast the majority of the time.

Zacha had a fantastic game. I forgive the big Poitras error. Shit happens.

regardless of who is in the lineup, the concerns are still there about how the D and forwards react to an aggressive Florida forecheck. They don’t seem to give themselves nearly enough options. Need to practice ways to recognize that and counter it. Slamming it around the boards repeatedly is just resulting in turnovers and the team getting dangerously hemmed in.

Yeah Jake looks like he’s reverted to the pouty version.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Yea JDB had one good offensive play that resulted in a goal and then didn’t do much after.

He played decent on the PK but Linus definitely was the reason for the success there.

One assist off a blind pass to the middle isn’t enough to make me think he’s got his ass in gear yet.

It used to be when you weren’t scoring a player would throw hits and mix it up to at least contribute.

He seems to be out for a skate more often than not on most shifts

Honestly I don’t think he looked good on the PK.

He does a lot of big circles and never really challenges his man.

When he’s aggressive on the PK, he’s a constant threat to go the other way. He doesn’t look all that interested in making something happen right now really anywhere on the ice.

He’s still got those bursts of speed sometimes. But I just can’t get used to the long stretches of nothingness from him. It’s just so far removed from his potential.

 

[HHHH]

If Gryz and McAvoy are out, who is in the lineup next game? Lohrei? Zboril? Does Mitchell come back up? I have not been following Providence closely this season...

I agree with that. I’d say he played his position on the PK but that’s the bare minimum you ask.

If that’s all he’s bringing you can find someone to do that for a lot cheaper

I threw a cat off my roof tonight.

Jack had a couple of Jackisms tonight that were new on me- that one and when Ullmark made a great stop he said get a haircut or something bizarre like that

 

[pgm16]

Marchy's goal doesn't happen without JDB.

I thought he played well, used his speed on the outside to create some chances.

 

[NeelyDan]

Could be the kid (Jake) has some significant mental health issues, there are some seemingly pretty distinct changes in his level of play that seem to reflect in his face, his energy.

 

[Fenway]

yeah. what was that? was telling reinhart to get a haircut

 

[FU Shoresy]

Missed the 1st period. What happened to Gryz?

 

[Mione134]

Yeah Jake looks like he’s reverted to the pouty version.

 

[pgm16]

PK reminded me of 2011 PK so far

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Maybe he still hasn't figured out you can't eat a sleeve of oreo cookies for dinner and pizza for breakfast every day.

At least for this year, Bruins are in a pretty tough spot with him.

They don’t have a surplus of secondary scoring talent by any means and they don’t have the cap room to acquire anyone else for that role lest they give up significant asset(s).

I think Jake is here until the end of this year no matter what and we’ve just got to hope he can turn it on. After all, it’s happened before.

 

[NeelyDan]

Suppose I didn’t really need to sleep tonight….

 

[Fenway]

 

[Fenian24]

Mac's hit wasn't that bad, not like he elbowed him in the head on the way by. Maybe OEL should have some game awareness, and not just OEL but a lot of players.

Nice come back, showed some good character.

Need another top 6 forward, at least one physical D and another physical forward or two but at least they didn't quit and showed up in the second, third and OT

As much as I have advocated trading a goalie, there is no way they can.do that right now, or this year.

 

[Mione134]

Suppose I didn’t really need to sleep tonight….

You had to see happy Jake and Co
You deserve it.

Xoxo
Me

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Yeah he didn't give an amazing assist or be apart of a great PK tonight.

Invisiblee ? Cmon now.

I did yell "DO SOMETHING" at my tv (Debrusk) a minute or two before he made that assist for the Marchand goal, it wasn't his best game although he picked it up along with the rest of the team after that.

 

[Alicat]

Suppose I didn’t really need to sleep tonight….

sleep is at a premium

 

[NeelyOrr]

The Bruins PK and Ullmark won this game, the refs gave the Bruins nothing all game. The Bruins record when giving up the 1st goal is very impressive this year. Florida's talented and aggressive forwards give the Bruins problems, but they dug deep to pull it out. Going to be tough on Thursday if both McAvoy and Gryz are out.

Yup. That's why getting two tonight was very important. Gryz getting injured was not surprising, but Mac taking that match penalty was surprising and very stupid.

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

Gryz out a few weeks according to Monty. Definitely Lohrei time.

 

[xStanleyCupsFor]

That was such a satisfying win!! What a ride!
