Post-Game Talk: PS 4 - Flyers 3 BRUINS 1

[Fenway]

The dress rehearsal on Thursday night at MSG on TNT will be a true indicator.

 

[The don godfather]

Poitras and ian Mitchell were all over the ice tonight. Hope they make it.

 

[rocketdan9]

The good

- Richard speed
- Poitras 3 ghost assists
- Mitchell was solid again
- Swayman - hung out to dry
- Steen - relentless

The bad
- Geekie - except for the goal. Did he play today?
- Boqvist - hardly noticeable/lack of threat on offense
- The team overall - the lack of desparation

Expecting cuts cuts

 

[Guelph Bruin]

That was like watching paint dry except for Poitras who actually does look he belongs talent/decision making wise ..endurance is the only test left. No one in tonight's game seemed to have an emotion to give a shit ..maybe Greer a bit ...but 100% Captain Brad will make sure they show emotion and show up for the beginning of each period.

Not often you see a preseason game where so many players don’t seem interested in making the coaches job tougher in deciding on a final lineup.

I mean technically maybe it got harder because there’s no difference between some of the jags in the bottom 6 but

No desperation from most of them.

 

[ON3M4N]

I know it's pre-season, but these are still impressive numbers for Poitras at only 19yrs old. When Poitras has been on the ice this pre-season:

Bruins outshoot opponents 24-17
Bruins out score opponents 4-0
Bruins out chance opponents 25-8

Geek apparently is comfortable with his 2-year one-way deal. Sleepwalking passenger.

You better get it together, because people are not going to put up with ho hum poop.

 

[Kegs]

Poitras is my guy. His passing is looking better than anyone’s on this team. His play without the puck is good too. I can’t imagine they plan on cutting him.

Bergy-lite.

 

[GordonHowe]

Would't have minded seeing Lohrei again

My guess is that you'll see a lot of him tomorrow, against washington. He'll be going down but will be up before you know it.

Why does him having a 1-way contract matter?

 

[JCRO]

May not be fair of me to say cause I’ve only watched him play tonight.

But from what I saw tonight idk how you can say Brown has been better than a Lauko, Beecher, McLaughlin, Greer for line 4 duty.

Man’s skating pose reminds me of my one year old nephew when hes walking around with a big dump in his pants.

 

[bruinmann77]

thought Mitchell played well

Can't see him making the parent club. He skates slower than Nosek. Better fit to help the young guys down at the AHL...

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

thinking the same.
the kid has skills but thinks the game a split second to slow. Im feeling hes not ready for this level speed….
yet

He’s overthinking the game right now. That’s the issue.

 

[ON3M4N]

Only two pre-season games remaining. One is tomorrow night and the next will be dress rehearsal. I expect for the guys that played tonight and 100% not in the mix, they'll be waived or reassigned tomorrow.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

I've never smelled anything so putrid in my life. And I've changed baby diapers, baby puke, human puke, dog and cat shit, etc


Those gloves were not human. I am gagging typing this. The last time a hockey glove was near my nose was 2004. My 14 year old self was NEVER the same.


That's not human. Nope!

I coach 12 year old boys. A kid took his gloves off near me and I almost threw up. Had to walk him through spraying and hanging his stuff - parents need to help these boys out.

 

[JCRO]

Think this is it for Oskar Steen? Last year of his contract and I believe waiver eligible?

Yet again not seeing enough to separate him from the pack.And now younger guys are making more of a case.

 

[KrejciWinger]

NHL guys
- I want Steen in the bottom 6, has some bite.
- If Boqvist can't produce, then Greer should get his spot.
- Geekie is underwhelming.

Prospects
- Poitras might make the team simply because he's the only one with spatial awareness.
- Lysell... this is starting to feel like a repeat of holding onto Vaakanainen/Studnicka
- Mitchell played well but I hope he's ready for the return of binky Forbort.

 

[dangermike]

I think fans would be upset if Poitras doesn't make the team at this point. I know I would be.

Felt like that about McLaughlin last year…

 

[Kegs]

Bergy-lite.

No. He isn’t like Bergeron. He is more like savard.

 

[missingchicklet]

No. He isn’t like Bergeron. He is more like savard.

I see shades of Bergy, Krejci, and Savard in him. IQ, d-zone, and neutral zone I definitely see some Bergy in him.

 

[JOKER 192]

I see shades of Bergy, Krejci, and Savard in him. IQ, d-zone, and neutral zone I definitely see some Bergy in him.

He reminds of when Savard first came to Boston. He be making beautiful through the seam passes only to have the players miss his passes. Poitras is much the same .

 

[wintersej]

Does Poitras get in again tomorrow? Test that stamina a bit?
