The Bruins video coach needs to be roasted by the bench coaches. That Eller offside goal changed the whole game.

And then he (they?) panicked and called a review on a play that was clearly on-side.

 

[Emerz]

Fire the video coach if he told you to challenge that, wasn't even almost an offside. Like not even close.

 

[Bruinator]

I'm guessing he got proper ship for not telling them to challenge the first goal and was afraid not to tell them to challenge the 2nd goal because of it. Either way he should be immediately fired. Anyone of us on these boards could do a better job than that

 

[PB37]

Or maybe go with the guy who was 100 percent when needing a goal to keep it going?

The order of the shootout ( at least the first three ) are pre-determined.

 

[PlayMakers]

I think this game's momentum turned when the Caps started playing the body. I'm not a big contributor to the wolves/sheep thread but I find it hard to argue with the knuckle draggers on this one. ;-)

1370 days and that’s it . Bruins should of won the game . I don’t fear the Caps anymore if the Bruins meet them in the playoffs. They will give them all they can handle .

True but he he should have been in top three regardless.

 

[KrejciWinger]

Posters are ignorant on this board.

You go with Nash because he is near 40-50% in the shootout and riding a hot hand. Not Cassidys fault, all people who an inkling of intelligence go with that

agreed. the choice that bothers me is actually 63. Marchy has been making things more difficuilt for himself lately.

 

[Bruinaura]

I hate the Caps.

Barf.

 

[Absurdity]

A point is a point. The Bruins played well enough to get the win but let the Capitals get back in the game. Marchand, Pastrnak, and Krug need to be better. They are a part of this team's core and have not contributed in the last two games. They need to stop trying to be pretty and trust their ability to play the game.

Backes seems to be doing well lately. 12pts in 14 games since he last came back from his surgery.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Andrew Raycroft in the studio? When did that happen? Dare I say he's a Bruins jinx..

 

[Bruinator]

agreed. the choice that bothers me is actually 63. Marchy has been making things more difficuilt for himself lately.

Yes you should never choose your top goal scorer in the shootout

 

[LouJersey]

The momentum turned on the Bruins failures to add in with numerous chances and the soft first goal by the Caps IMO

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

I would have liked to see Chuckie Bright Lights as the 3rd shooter, but I won't get on Cassidy for going with Nash who has been good in the shoot career wise, and has been feeling it.

 

[Gee Wally]

Warning:
If you cant post without flaming others - do NOT post!

 

[bruinsfan1970]

So what I don't understand is when the player scores the goal in the shoot-out and it turns out to be the goal that wins the game why doesn't that player get credit for the goal?? And how can they count the Bruins with 4 goals against????

 

[Oates2Neely]

Ovechkin is so lazy. Kid had a chance to be one of the games best ever... yet he glides around the ice relying totally on his lethal shot. They may have beat the B's 12 in a row, but an Ovechkin-led Caps team will never win a Cup

 

[easton117]

Or maybe go with the guy who was 100 percent when needing a goal to keep it going?

Just throwing this out there. But maybe they’re trying to ease up The pressure on McAvoy a bit. Nash has been around awhile in the league and has been good in the shootout. I don’t think that’s a bad call.

Krug on the other hand was horrific again. I’ll give credit to Cassidy for benching him.

The rest of Bruce’s decisions tonight though we’re pretty rough

 

[Bruinator]

What's even more painful is both Marchand and Pasternak had Holtby dead to rights and failed to score

 

[trenton1]

Not worried at all. Give me Krejci and a video coach and it's Bruins in 6.
Kidding aside, it looks like April 2009 when the Bruins were about to conquer the Habs after losing about 12 straight.

I didn't see it that way at all. Bruins stopped skating in the 2nd period, stopped executing. Caps got to loose pucks faster and made plays. I didn't see their physical play to be anything outstanding or abnormal or intimidate the Bruins in any way.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

cant beat these guys.
shouldve been up 5-0.
then our first two shootout shooter miss total layups

 

[sarge88]

I’m not even exaggerating when I say they should just shadow Ovechkin on the PP and let the other guys play 3 on 4.

He literally scores the same goal against the Bruins every game.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Glad we are done playing these guys, talk about having our number. On the positive was the Nash line, they keep on suprising me, they have excellent chemistry. The Bergy line looked sluggish for the 2nd game in a row, Pastrnak in particular is struggling. The 4th line had another excellent night. I wonder if Cassidy is thinking of elevating McAvoy and Matt G to the #1 PP unit, they look good, Krug not so much these days.
