Losing to the Bruins sucks.
Stolarz does not suck.
Losing to the Bruins sucks.
Matthews….. no comment but the dog says woof.
Marner, hopefully starting to shake the chronic boat brain that plagues him at the start of every season due to excessive Sea-Doo cottage summer fun every year. Some nice passes, and won’t even mention his brainless decison to pass when he had an open net…..
Hoping they show up with pride against Winnipeg but it’s clear nothing has changed with this crew.

Teach me random internet poster.
You don’t have to agree with what I call it, that’s fine, but I think you get my general point. And if you don’t, that’s fine too.

I actually feel pretty good that Canada's center depth will slice and dice the on-paper advantage the Americans have.

Coach is losing the battle of wills. Core Fore must prevail. Berube will be absorbed into the body; Marc Savard has already vanished.
Marner was hesitating at the bench and Matthews didn’t look up, No idea where the defenseman was but it was certainly not helping. Like Berube said everyone was at fault

Dubas' lap dog does have something interesting to say...
Exactly, one would expect our $13 million captain to be able to make a better play there regardless of his absent linemates.
Sure communication could've been better, but if you're the player with the puck its your responsibility to make sure your pass is going to a teammate rather than simply throwing it across the ice to no one. Its not really that hard to hold onto the puck and skate behind your own net and wait and if the Bruins player wants to chase you there, then just skate out and you're looking up the ice and can make a proper pass rather than a blind one.

Hell he could’ve iced it if he thought Marchand was pressuring too much and he wasn’t going to get back in time, or take it to the corner and wait for others to arrive or something
THE ONE THING YOU CANT DO IS THROW A PIZZA UP THE ICE TO A 2 ON 1
People blaming Rielly are out to lunch. It’s 3 on 3 OT, Matthews is the last man back so he’s up giving him an option…too bad matthews goes full braindead
It’s plays like this, mismanagement of the puck, and forgetting attention to details that hold us back from winning the division
Starts from the captain

He's also being pestered by a 5'8" 38 year old so if in an emergency he had to go behind the net and get pinned on the boards the situation is still manageable before reinforcements arrive. Or you just backhand it down the right wing wall and hope you don't get an icing.
If you actually read posts and watch the replay you’ll see 34 is the main problem but having 2 guys past center ice is also a problem. Nobody is letting Matthews off the hook he made a piss poor decision that was the direct cause of the goal but Rielly and Marner not even being in the picture is part of the overall issue.

I’m not really worried about making the playoffs, I’ll believe they make it until game 82 is over and we aren’t sitting in a playoff spot
What I’m worried about is the same 100-110 point team coming third to play Boston or florida and getting our asses handed to us.
Why not for once, start string, keep strong, finish string and get the division/presidents trophy and get an easier matchup that you can hopefully win and build some confidence and go into round 2 playing a beaten up and battered Florida/boston

Rielly doesn't deserve any blame there, but I could see another defenseman electing not to do the belly flop and could have been in a better spot to defend the ensuing chaos. But Rielly panics so what can you do.
Marner might remind everyone of the same. We do this every year people why does everyone have scrambles in the brain.

He could have fed to back to Stolie who had a clearer view to either head man the puck up the ice or just freeze is and start with a fresh line.

You realize Matthews was out the end of his shift and the Bruins were fresh and we just got the puck back. He wasn't skating away from anyone and everyone on the ice should be aware of this and support him back there instead of leaving him on his own so they could make the simple short passes until they are in a better position to make the change. It was a dumb pass but there's 3 guys on the ice and they left a tired guy out to dry all by himself while they were thinking offence.

Yep. He could have picked up the puck and thrown it in the crowd and it probably would have been a better decision.
