Looks to me that it was a rotation and he was late to cover.

Well pretty much any defensemen in the league is going to be late to cover the goddamn point in their own defensive zone.

There is a reason why no coach in the history of hockey has their defensemen rotate to the point to cover the other defensemen.

Absurd to blame Chara there.

Ugly ugly goal after some great saves tonight from Tuukka

 

[JCRO]

Not satisfied. Should have been a 3-1 game.

Overall I'm really impressed with the effort these past two games, but I get scared that they're going to sacrifice points like this then have those "oops" games against easier opponents..

 

[DitClapper]

I'm more pissed of the once again no response on the Ovechkin hit.

 

[Pia8988]

whatever. Great game by Tuukka. Hope Ovi and the Caps choke until he retires. **** him

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

The reason Chara should not be out in OT is because OT is about two things: possession and cycle. You have to constantly be moving.

Chara, being the Bruins' best shutdown D is out of place because you simply do not need or want a shutdown D in OT out there. You have to be in constant motion on both offense and defense.

You can put Kevan Miller out there, who I cannot stand, over Chara in OT.

 

[BsEuphoria]

What other options does he have?
That's right. None.

I put anyone else on the ice before Chara, anyone. He is way to slow to even sniff 3v3

 

[LouisSleigher]

Our PP let us down. 0 for 5 including a 2-man for a full 2 minutes. We had two PPs in a row with zero shots.

 

[Budddy]

Sportsnet blaming Miller on that Ovie hit...said he turned last second

No he didn't...

 

[LSCII]

They played for the tie instead of the win and like usual it cost them...

 

[13Hockey]

Great game
By the Bs

To beat Chicago and Washington back to back is a great sign especially holding them to 1 and 2 goals

Time to get some Wins in Florida

Let's go Bruins

 

[Gee Wally]

Before the **** on Tuukka crowd comes in, as I see we have the usuals showing up after a loss, the last goal was soft.

However, if he didnt play like he did tonight they wouldnt even gotten a point or got to overtime.

 

[Mione134]

Should of never had Chara on the ice. Period. Krug goal should of counted. Terrible officiating.

Overall good effort. Should have won. Hopefully Colin gets the call up.

 

[BMC]

The thread headline should be "****ed Over By The Refs"

This is not 5 on 5 . Man on man , one man drops off the other has to rotate.

And there is a reason why no NHL coach has a 6'9 "speedburner"on the ice 3 on 3,

 

[Hali33]

Tremendous effort against the Hawks and Caps.

Means more than the points to me anyways.

Sucks the game was won on a goal like that because apart from that I thought Rask had a strong game.

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

Refs, Ovi...

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

On to Florida , I like our chances to take BOTH games .

 

[Bearclaw]

You don't usually win a game when you go 0-4 (or was it 5?) on the PP, get a goal called back, and then not score on a 5-on-3. The writing was on the wall.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

The refs gifted them two goals (our 2nd, their first). Ovechkin should have been ejected with a match penalty. We should have had a full five minute PP (unlikely we'd score I suppose).

Brutal, brutal, brutal.

Claude needs to earn a fine tonight.

I am severely disappointed in Chara tonight. Didn't think I'd ever feel that way about him so truly.

 

[TMac21]

Right on cue.

 

[Gee Wally]

412 on line right now.

Now watch folks. Place your bets on who might show up. Compare to win nights. I find it humorous.

I feel like many would say that should be the headline for 90% of their losses this year

 

[KrazyLegs]

Wished someone boarded that dirty Russian puke.
