Post-Game Talk: Game 38 The Bear begins 2018 by eating fishsticks and cheesecake in Brooklyn - B's 5 NYI 1 F

[JOKER 192]

A month ago we were 25th in the league (by my sketchy memory), were now in 7th LEAGUE WIDE!

True , we were far behind but we did hold a lot of games in hand, now that we have played them , coupled with a hot streak we are where we should have been all along.

Looking at the standings , we are as close to 2nd OA as we are to 15th OA. This league is tight, a short losing or winning streak moves you up or down quickly.

It's good to get a win for Carlo. It's way easier to forget a gaffe like that in a blowout win.

He's a 21 year old defenceman, you're going to have plays like that so anything you can do to help him forget it and stay confident is a bonus.

 

[JOKER 192]

I still say Cabernet.

Though Jack's "Worker B's" appellation wasn't bad either.

A Cab beats the shit out of a Merlot every time .

 

[talkinaway]

Amazing game tonight. But I'd trade it in a heartbeat if we get a January sweep against the Habs in the next two weeks.

And think about how cheap that 4th line is. Extremely small cap hit. Schaller and Acciari scoring more goals this season per 60 mins than Duchene lol. These guys are the best 4th line since Merlot, no question. They were a complete thorn in the side of the Isles all night long, and have been the same to many other teams this season. They absolutely buzz around the ice as if they are double fisting uppers on the bench. It's a beautiful sight to watch those guys.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Cassidy deserves a lot of credit. This team plays a different game since Clode left.

oh ...by the way Clode lovers of the past should know that Montreal continues to be losing 4-1 Sharks.

Montreal sitting 28th in the league.

How many more years did the Habs sign Julien for ? Savvy Don Sweeney knew what he was doing when he made the move to replace CJ with Cassidy.

Though that line isn't earthy enough.

Those 3 games are slowly losing any kind of drama now . 14 points ahead with 2 games in hand ??

It’s kind of like watching the Hanson brothers from the movie Slap Shot .

I go all in with a Pinot Noir (California only, every other PN sucks )

Still way too early to be in the "they're literally for nothing so let's bench Chara and Bergeron for some Providence players" territory. Admittedly, they don't mean much to either team. But it's still a rivalry. Can you imagine how pumped the team would be if they won three games against the Habs in a row...even if there are rumors of trading Patches?

Admittedly, points are at a discount right now, not a premium. But if I had to choose between winning and randomly not getting the points, or getting the points and losing, I'd take the win, not the points.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

It's too bad they cant give the first star to the 4th line.

Would have loved to see them give 1st, 2nd AND 3rd stars to that line.

 

[pineapplestastegood]

Just so that I'm not accused of being a fraud when it turns back the other way, my stance on Rask has not changed. I'm not getting into any arguments on it, you can refer to my post history if you want to know my thoughts, I've stated them many times.

I wouldn't be too worried about Carlo right now, the sophomore slump for defenseman is almost always a guarantee in this league. If he continues playing awful into next year, then I'd say panic, but I don't mind these growing pains right now.

 

[EvilElf63]

It's going to be a fun day at work tomorrow.

Clearly the correct answer is White Zin. A lighter version of Merlot.

Tend to agree but be careful what you wish for, that would get them awfully close to a 1st OA draft pick.

 

[Alan Ryan]

Tim Schaller -- Sean Kuraly -- Noel Acciari

The Worker B's. They have been total beasts of late; total bulldogs along the walls, on the forecheck, on the rush.

These guys are a treat. Best Bruins 4th line since Paille-Campbell-Thornton.

 

[Bruinaura]

Hmmm.

 

[JOKER 192]

No no no, so misguided are those who preach white over red .

 

[Sevendust]

So what negative can we say .... what about we are peaking to early

 

[Buckets and Gloves]

That segment of the Pasta steal to Marchand snipe was beautiful to watch.

The goals will come with those guys, so much talent. Be amazing if they finished year with 0 against, doubt it happens but be incredible.

I rather those boys continuing focusing on shutting down the other teams big dogs, they have the talent on the counter to make the opposing team pay.

 

[Alan Ryan]

we are streakin like the 08-09 season right now. always scoring first. contributions from everyone. goal differential through the roof

The B's are now +24. That is #2 in the East (only Tampa is better).

 

[McGarnagle]

Clearly the correct answer is White Zin. A lighter version of Merlot.

Hmm. Is Kuraly palatable to middle aged white women?

 

[Alicat]

No no no, so misguided are those who preach white over red .

White over red any day. I’m a Riesling (not sweet) or Pinot Gris person.

*The tannins in red wine give me migraines
