GDT: March 9: Oilers @ Bruins 5:30 pm

Hot take, Skinner had a good second period

They also basically didn't have a scoring chance. 0.3 xGF for them in second.

Hot take, Skinner had a good second period

Not hot at all, went from .800SV% to .895

Meh. Ullmark wasn't anything special last year either. Most Bos fans wanted Swayman to be #1 this year and to dump Ullmark for the extra cap.

Ullmark is typical goalie voodoo. Hot one year, ok the next.
Just look at Markstrom. From top to bottom

Yah, I don't agree.

His save % since coming into the league have been

.913
.917
.935
.905
.915
.917
.917
and .938 this year

And most of those playing with a terrible lottery team.

Bruins something like 31-0-2 when leading after 2.

I wonder how many teams have looked bad playing the bruins because there is one rule for Boston and different rule for the other team.

"....and it appears Cam Neely has personally taken it upon himself to charge onto the ice with what I would guess to be a speargun.....and im being told the refs will allow it"

 

[OddManRush]

Well they have 6 more shots. That is better buy its not a lopsided game

No argument there but I reckon backdoor tap ins, dangles through a dman and roofing it, and odd man rushes won’t be there. High traffic, big bombs, tips, and filtering pucks around the crease will tie/win the game

 

[Stoneman89]

Hot take, Skinner had a good second period

His damage has been done though. I expect the Bruins to tighten the screws in the 3rd.

All zeros eventually turn into ones.

Unless it’s cups for the Canucks.

 

[McTedi]

Bruins are that classic championship looking team that knows the exact amount to constantly interfere, hook and hold for the entire game without getting called.

Then flop to get PPs, bush league reffing can't get it right ever.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

They also basically didn't have a scoring chance. 0.3 xGF for them in second.

neither team did 2 HDCF total in that 2nd.

Play that second period again and we can win this

This is the NHL that Bettman wants.

Meanwhile when Jordan was playing and getting the calls there were complaints about the "Jordan Rules" because he went to the line so much. Favour offence and your superstars over everything else, NHL, is it that hard to understand?

I was watching without sound and thought it was cool that they were compiling all of the uncalled infractions against him for the viewers lol..

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

JP getting a larger role in Carolina. Nice to see.

At least he is getting more playing time there.

He hasn't even played a game for them. What?

And you'd think we'd be smart enough to learn something from that. I'm not convinced we have a high team IQ.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

You just know Skinner is going to give up a laugher early in the third.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

If you can't score 3 goals in the NHL you're gonna lose either way. Even if you have Ullmark in net he's got a GAA of 1.89. You need to score 3 minimum most nights to win.

 

[Stoneman89]

I would definitely sit McLeod for Kostin next game. McLeod has struggled pretty badly the last while.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

JP getting a larger role in Carolina. Nice to see.

At least he is getting more playing time there.

So your trolling is becoming a problem.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

I stand corrected.

Happens every time Connor gets “shut down”

Wow Toronto is going to make hay of tampa
