Post-Game Talk: Game 19 - Anytime you get 4 points in California you have done good - BRUINS 3 San Jose 1 F
- Thread starter Fenway
- Start date
Heinen-Debrusk-Cehlarik-McAvoy-Carlo-O'Gara
not always pretty with everything, still all make mistakes but WOW. So fun seeing these games where the young guys can really get in the groove and contribute so much.
Khudobin GOD-Level....it kind of made for an even more exciting last few minutes...and did remind me of the Tim Thomas era...where there is chaos but you just know the compete level is so high, when they shut the door, nothing is getting by them. Khudobin in those final minutes just felt like he completely shut the door, got in the zone and was not letting anything by him.
now add Bjork-Marchand-Backes-Spooner to this forward group.
Im excited for the future.

Thought we'd be cooked after this trip, Krejci coming back and Dobby especially, were the key to a successful road trip. Keep rolling with the hot goalie.

I don’t care what anyone says, Krejci makes a huge difference.

Rask usually seems to play well against the Pens and it would be a challenge for him especially if Dobby gets another win on Wednesday.
My three stars
1. Antim Khudomas - great game by him again; battled hard, was feisty, and made big stops in key situations
2. Jake DeBrusk - great acceleration on both goals he was part of. The kid is finding a nice groove after taking a seat up in the press box
3. Zdeno Chara - he looked like 34 year old Chara tonight. The Old Man has turned back the clock the past couple of weeks and it's good to see; best dman in the league on the PK and I don't think it's even close right now.
The team gets a nice little break for their hard work and hopefully get back Marchand on Wednesday. This was probably the most important win of the year to date.

Earlier this season a lot of posters were saying that Dobby sucks and is not even an acceptable backup.
Oh, and no one should compare Miller to McQuaid ever again. I like and respect McQuaid as a character/tough guy who did his part during the Cup run, but he really has no finesse whatsoever. Whereas we just saw Miller do THAT.

I think Cassidy deserves a lot of credit at this point. The man has been having to stitch together lines with a lot of kids in play and with a lot of injuries to key players. Whatever he is doing is working. The Ana game was brutal, but the Bs bounced back like gangbusters and got 4 points. The guys seem to have pretty good chemistry given the lack of talent of some of the players and the inexperience of others.
I don't know if he left the ice in the final 7 minutes.... honestly I think he refused to leave the ice...
Good supporting games for Miller and Carlo. Didn't start off great for Carlo, but he put together a really good game. As did Miller.
Bergeron and Krejci were quiet. Really quiet. Pastrnak too. DeBrusk's heroics in the 1st won the game IMO. They held the fort after that 1st period surge from SJ and managed to squeak out a road win. Can't complain. My only pet peeve is the usage of guys like Nash, Schaller, Acciari and Kuraly 4 on 4....
Khodobin is entertaining! Can't complaint about results either. Roll with him for as long as you can IMO.
Also: Let's give it up for the Bruins team defense. 30 blocks tonight!

Regarding Chara, I agree, but it's funny because usually "he played like his 34-year-old self" is not a compliment for a player

He came up big last year with those two wins late in the year over the Islanders and Hawks and hasn’t looked back . He is a battler .

Hopefully in ten years we will be saying he played like his 40-year-old self.Regarding Chara, I agree, but it's funny because usually "he played like his 34-year-old self" is not a compliment for a player
Exactly. He was good for us in 2012-2013 too. I thought the earlier comments were unfair.

I don't think Pasta played any 4-4 tonight. Wonder if that was a message?
It wasn't Bergeron's best night, only one shot, but he played good defense and ended up +2. I wonder if the extra work in recent games is catching up to him.
I think the Bruins need a little work on their power play. (Okay, more than a little.) Krejci makes a difference, but tonight it was downright ugly.
But I am very happy with four points on the trip, and now even a little upset it wasn't 6, because in retrospect, it could have been.

Looking at my bill I went YIKES - and then I realized it was in pesos and I have no complaints at all
I think I was taken care of
