Post-Game Talk: Game 9 - Kings stun B's in last second of OT - LA 2 BRUINS 1 F/OT

[Lockheed]

Another pointless and brilliant post. Time to close the computer

Night is young in the last frontier. Please keep trying to convince us Rask had a weak game.

 

[mar2kbos]

also...seems like this is the second straight game Pasta has looked...off.

trying to do too much or I dont know...he just seems off.

Too much happy go lucky Pond hockey crap from him lately.

 

[missingchicklet]

Only that's not true. No way the puck gets to toffoli in 0.0 seconds (full 0.9 left on the clock here)

Not sure if the NESN feed clock is off or what, but the clock def started on time in the feed I was looking at.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Shouldn’t have been a faceoff in the Bruins end in the 1st place. Great job Krug on the sloppy icing.

 

[BruinDust]

The no calls are frustrating, but they let a lot go. Fine.

That Bergeron call in OT? Junk. Pure junk. Doughty's stick hits Bergeron's stick on the follow thru, and they call that a penalty. For as much as they let go tonight, for them to be up in arms about THAT???? Garbage.

I thought the officiating was poor tonight. The slashing call on Chara in the 1st, so Chara is penalized for being heavier and using a very stiff stick, because there was minimal swing on the supposed slash.

And I still don't know how the hit on Nash wasn't called. Baffling but par for the course in today's NHL.

Honestly the Chara slash I didn't have a problem with. He chopped the stick in half. Penalty every single time.

Krug on pace for a -82 season.. well done Hobbit

Krug's give away on the 1st goal was bad enough but for him to ice the puck with a second left and no pressure on him is just plain stupid.
Besides that, great game. Bruins will be fine when everything comes together. Any thoughts on Postma's play?? I thought he looked pretty good again tonight. Rask was incredible tonight, great goaltending at both ends..

 

[BruinsPortugal]

A shame but a nice lesson for the kids.
Worst game i’ve Ever seen Krug play, just atrocious all night. And the same for the officiating, some disgusting (non) calls.

Oh well, I liked what I saw from the kids. Rask deserved better.

 

[pgm16]

Pleased with the effort & 2 pts would have been nicer, but 1 > 0

He has been surprisingly solid . He isn’t flashy but plays a safe , smart game . He knows his limits . A defenceman who doesn’t understand his limitations ( Dennis Wideman ?) can really hurt you on the backend .

 

[JRull86]

Lots of positives tonight even with the results, but I will say the one thing that really irked me was the lack of response from this team in regards to the Nash hit, Tuukka getting ran twice, etc.

I get it's 3 on 3 OT and someone like Miller isn't going to be out there, but some type of response needs to happen there.

All due respect but how can you say Krug plays a safe smart game when he's responsible for both goals?? First goal was a giveaway by Krug and the last goal was cause he iced the puck with a second left when it was absolutely not nessacary. HOW is that safe, smart or anything else but stupid??

it was a slash for sure but linesman missed an icing on that play..Kopitar was perhaps 10 feet before the centre line when he iced it...and Chara had position so was easily an icing..I think Z was surprised it wasnt called

I think if they had responded to the Nash hit, it may have made a difference. LA stepped up the physicality and most of the Bruins did not respond in kind.

I wasn’t talking about Krug . You asked what people thought of Postma .

Yeah your right, in today's NHL it is called every time.

Part I disagree with is the stick breaking being an automatic penalty. If those were two aluminum sticks that never happens, but in the age of feather-light composites (seriously the new Bauer Vapor is under 400 grams, which is insane) you basically can't come down hard at all from above, as we saw tonight even with minimal back-swing it can slice through an opponents stick.

 

[LA_Viking]

The Kings are about as good as they will be all season...

Since they're now 1st overall, I'll take it!

 

[bruins repeat time]

When I watch Pasta in OT I understand why Julien didn't like him in OT . He is horrid in man to man coverage . He seems to almost not worry about man to man at all. When he gets on the ice I figure there is a good chance the game is going to end soon one way or the other .

 

[bruins repeat time]

The problem I have is when they call it slashing when a guy loses his stick and it's not broken.

 

[LouJersey]

You must be quiet upset about the Rask comments to hop on paint, find a trump tweet and make a dumb gif in the span of 5 minutes

That shit was hilarious. I thought it was one the best posts ever.

 

[LouJersey]

Krug had one gaffe and played overall good imo.

I thought the team as a whole looked very good. Kings are tough. One of the better teams early this year. I would have signed up for 3 outta 4 points these past two.

Perfectly played, you have to tip your hat to them. I was watching the intermission of the Oilers and Caps game and Krypreos (sp) and Hrudy claim there was only one play there and couldn’t understand how Rask didn’t know that. What I find surprising is that here are two guys who played the game and cannot figure out there were actually two plays there, one that they made and also one with a shot directly on net from the Center man, which is the one I thought they would do because of the little time they had. Not sure how these people keep their jobs really. Rask had to play the shot from the Center man first.

 

[FONZIE]

Am I the only one that thought the ref should have just let that icing call go to end the game and start the shootout? I was stunned they blew that somewhat early and at all to be honest...

Agree I didn't think there was enough time for,anything but the center man shot.Never watched the replay so not sure if that was what Pasta was thinking on the draw.

 

[weaponomega]

Unlucky. Oh well at least they played a very strong game against the best team in the league and get a point.
