Post-Game Talk: The Bear Dances In Chicago

[Dizzay]

I'd heavily consider keeping Lucic with Pata and Spoons. I know I'm going to be crucified for saying this because of seasons past but Krejci just slows the game down so much that it works against Lucic's north/south game. Having Spooner slotted there makes Lucic move his feet which is what we all want on this board.

I see two options: Keeping Krejci-Bergy-Spooner in the event Soda can't be resigned here and trading him at the deadline for RW help or a top 4 defender. Option B, going with Bergy-Spooner-Soda and unloading Krejci for a top 2 defender or a real sniper. I'm not using today's game as my only argument but Krejci is invisible for long periods of the year and he's a piece we'd actually get value back with.

Dougie Hamilton now in sole possession of 2nd place on the team in points, behind only Bergeron. Another big game offensively for him. Really loving this kid more and more.

It's a shame I missed this one. Someone needs to upload extended highlights...dafoomie?

Would you settle for some gifs?

Has Tuukka commented on his slashing penalty on Versteeg?

I thought he tagged him, but that gif makes Steeger look like he took a massive dive.

@HackswithHaggs: Tuukka: "Havent seen the replay but thought it was obvious I was trying to slash the post. Thought thats what I did. Stay out of the crease"

My view on it seems Rask got enough of him but Versteeg did seem to make it look worse than it really looked.
I know it has been tough recently,nevertheless, Rask should have more control of his emotions and actions.

Thanks bobby!

Said he didn't think he tagged him. But, "Stay out of the crease." Billy Smith lives.

 

[bruinmann77]

kudos to claude for kkping him on the ice after the kid error.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Thanks bobby!

You're welcome!

Just want to say that I loved what your team did today

Completely destroyed Hawks and ended the nonsense Hawks organization has been pushing about how fine this team is

Hopefully today opens up eyes to our GM that this team is not contending

You sound just like too many Bruins fans here. Have you been reading here the last few weeks?

 

[bwunderlich]

That was fun. But there's always a fine line, a tipping point.

For example, lets say Spooner's no-look PP pass to Versteeg ended up in the back of the net.

What would Clode have done?

Rask may have saved the season on that play.

@HackswithHaggs: Tuukka: "Havent seen the replay but thought it was obvious I was trying to slash the post. Thought thats what I did. Stay out of the crease"

That line is ****ing great.

 

[Alan Ryan]

Maybe, I'm just hoping against hope, but when they play like they did today, I can't stave off the optimism!

I don't care how Chicago has played for the last month, they are a good team, playing at home, in a Nationally televised game, with a healthy lineup.

That was a good win.

That's how they played in January. They are a good team and can do it.

 

[David Krejci*]

Nice win and nice to see them show some life, but this doesn't change anything. This is the exception with this team, not the rule. They need a lot of help.

Come on Krejci ,enjoy the win !

I looked at that video a number of times, what I saw was that Rask was not even close to hitting Versteeg, that Versteeg took a dive and the performance afterwards was worthy of an Emmy. It was all BS!.

If Kypreous is correct, not good news:

@RealKyper: Hearing #Bruins Krejci knee injury is feared long term and possibly cost him good portion of regular season. He'll be re-evaluate this week

 

[CanadianBruinsFan]

To be honest I thought this game was more about Chicago playing like **** and getting no goaltending whatsoever, not going to get too excited over one afternoon game. They had 6 goals on 25 shots and the Hawks 2 best players didn't really show up. And I normally like to look at the bright side.

I ****ing love Tuukka

People can whine and complain all they want but I love the fact Tuukka doesn't care about saying what's on his mind or showing emotion.

That's probably why Clode stuck with Spooner.

Agreed.

Usually the case when teams net 6.

I know it's only one game, but the B's looked like they had their **** together today! (hitting, fighting, scoring and showing emotion)

...so I'm excited about a 6-2 win against the Hawks in Chicago.

Who knows...this win might just give the B's some much needed confidence, and start them on a long winning streak. (fingers crossed)

 

[ashnathan]

What. A. Game. Couldn't watch live cos I was at work but came home dreading this game, when the Hawks scored with 2 seconds left I was like "here we go again..." then the Bs came out and dominated the entire 2nd period, basically made it their *****. Start of the 3rd period I was a tiny bit nervous when we were seemingly stuck in our zone forever and a day, but they pulled it off, unlucky on the Hawks last goal, Quaider demolished Carcillo, did Toews even play seriously? Apart from his goal he was nowhere. Marshy needs to turn the pest switch down a few notches, too many stupid penalties tonight.

Ferlin, I want to talk about Ferlin, that boy needs to be a regular without question, but I definitely think he should be NAILED to Bergys line, thats the big body that our 2nd line needs. Piesy just doesn't fit anymore, maybe a trade maybe a waive, either way I think hes lost his spot, liked Caron tonight toobut give me more Ferlin, he needs more ice time.

Reilly Smith played tonight, decided it was time his ghost needed a break but as we all know this won't be common place, he always seems to chime in with a great game every so often, I hope im wrong and he can stay consistent but I have no faith. Bring on the Nucks at home, I think we can definitely win that game. Finally played physical again and look what happens. Ferlin brught the bangs and it got the rest of the team going, if you take Soupy off that line and replace him with CC, dropped Kels to 4th and Smith to 3rd I think that is a pretty good line up.

Go Bruins!
