Post-Game Talk: Game 76 - The Bruins take over the #1 seed in the East - BRUINS 4 Tampa Bay 2 FINAL

[cobrak]

How stupid does Vesey look right now?

He dissed Boston and Nashville to play for the lowly rangers. Boston and Nashville are the two best teams in the nhl right now- hahaha

Since he would probably a third liner ...in Providence.....at least he gets an NHL salary?

 

[Pay Carl]

I'm seriously asking, because I have no clue, has Tampa had injury problems this year?

I mean, I know it hit them hard in teh past, so I know they know how the B's feel in regards to that, but it must be absolutley frustrating as HELL for them to have just lost the lead in the Atlantic to a team that STILL isn't 100%. I mean, at this point in the season, no team is, but Boston's had key starters out frequently this season.

And STILL, the Atlantic's theirs. Look out, NHL. If they don't get the cup this season, they're definitely in it to win it for the next few years at the very least

Palat was out for a long time and thats the only serious one I can think of off the top of my head but I'm probably missing something

 

[EvilElf63]

Team is good. Team is likable. Let's go.

 

[s3antana5757]

Gotta say that McDonagh did not look good at all out there. I still wish we would've made a move for him, but now I'm starting to question it a bit.

 

[Bruinaura]

Wow that was incredible! First live game, the Garden was rockin!

You are required to attend all bruins games the rest of the year.

 

[Bruin1970]

McDonagh smells of Callahan. New York media blow these guys up. It’s not the players fault- they are never as good as the hype.

 

[Gordoff]

Bruins SPANKED Tampa Bay!!

The 5ton line is hilariously brutal, Wingels Schaller and Acciari hit everything

The SAW line works

 

[LouisSleigher]

I believe our magic number with Toronto is down to just two. One more B's win or Laff regulation loss and home ice is ours.

 

[Emerz]

Marchand with the "no goal" celebration, possibly in relation to the gift goal for Tanev? Seemed a bit odd but he definitely did it twice haha

 

[BadBruins]

Carlo and Krug were beasts. Acciari was hitting everything he could. And that 3rd goal was pure art.
I love this team. Get healthy and ready to roll.

Perhaps the best game of Carlo's career. Considering opponent and what was on the line. He has more to give with that combination of size and wheels.

Krug is just on another level right now from an offensive perspective. Taking that pass from Marchand on his backhand and hitting Bergeron with a perfect feed all in one motion was something else.

First time in awhile I've felt like Acciari was involved physically. Was hitting with intention. Extremely effective when he plays like that.

Great game.

Pasta “maybe I should fight Tuukka”

Tampa fans are complaining about a ref conspiracy.

I agree nhl refs stink but I didn’t think tonight’s refs were that bad (I even think they managed a lot of the chippiness pretty well). So am I wrong? I mean pick any NHL game and refs are likely going to be bad but I’m used to that bad to the pint bad feels normal.

 

[Bruin1970]

This is the most focused I have seen Rask in years.

 

[Krupp]

Made the mistake of going over to Tampa's forum just because I was curious to see how they're handling things.

They're frustrated, of course. But most seem to think they'll still overtake Boston again and win the Atlantic. It's possible.

I think it's interesting that EVERY forum i've been on, of EVERY other team I've read from, including the Caps and the flyers and the canucks, montreal, etc. they ALL hate Boston.

I think that's supposed to be a compliment, right?

 

[pkunit]

Tommy f***ing Wingels!

 

[sarge88]

Good game by Tuukka and Krug.

Bergy is-well-Bergy.

Cassidy is going to have some tough decisions when the D is healthy,

I thought Holden was good tonight. Not sure he makes the playoff lineup if all are healthy, but he played well in an important game.

It takes an entire roster!

Stamkos is nursing something. He was out the last game,

They’re heated because they think the refs should have called a match penalty on Tuukka because he threw a punch before dropping his blocker.

To them, had he been tossed, they would have won the game

 

[Pay Carl]

Yeah I meant something serious like long term

Kucherov missed a week or two a month or so ago as well

 

[ranold26]

The Bruins' future's so bright, they gotta wear shadessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

It's definitely a compliment, like when the boos rain down on Chara or the hate Marchand got at the All Star game. I love it. I'd rather the Bruins be hated than be the NHL's darlings. Besides, it's more fun being the villain and, like a wise man once said, "Who has more fun than us"

I actually thought it was a favorable officiating group tonight for the first time in like 2 months. After all the complaining (rightfully so) we've all done here recently, I could see why Tampa fans are frustrated. But I thought these guys did a good job tonight.

It's kinda hard for me to sympathize when Backes has had issue after issue all season....and Bergeron's had a knee issue (it was his knee, right? I forget now. That might be Charlie I'm thinking of.) And Charlie's got knee issues. And Chara might have concussion issues, Debrusk and Nash sound like they do too, right? AND Krug's broken jaw!

Yeah. Hard for me to feel sorry for Tampa right now. They've had it fairly easy in comparison, and after all the BS Boston's had to deal with in regards to suspensions and refs treating them like AHL goons, it's getting really hard for me to feel sorry for league darling teams like tampa when they lose an important game. I respect them, and I like them a hell of a lot more than most teams in the league, but their fans are whining ridiculously right now
