GDT: 3/5/20 - 7:00PM EDT - Montréal vs Tampa Bay

[Fabiobest]

Good win. Now I hope that Saturday we'll win the second straight...

 

[The Macho King]

Sergachev is the best.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Back to back strong games for Vasy after a string of some stinkers.

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

Shutout for Vasy! Now to take care of the Bruins on Saturday

 

[DaBolts]

I love it when our Russians get pissed off and play like that. Now piss them off again Saturday night.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Won 2 of their last 3 after the 4 game losing streak.

Things are coming around.

GASP!!
You said that before the season is over!!!!

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Meanwhile, Boston-Florida going to OT. Bruins sure love OT.

 

[BeingTheThunder]

Very sound game. Not much to complain about. Great Vasi, Serge is a man-child coming into his own, and Heddy is a monster.

One of the reasons they are where they are....a crapload of points off of OTLs...

Don't forget Yanni Gourde.

I give him credit for just being a very irritating pest to the Habs almost all game.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Not sure how to feel about this game. We were as good as we needed to be, but that really wasn't asking for a whole lot. Bolts will still need to step it up for Saturday.

 

[Stammertime91]

Good win. No overreaction needed since we won. Feels good.

Also, Serg whoopin dat ass

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Maroon not exactly happy about how the Bolts played

Most exciting part of the game was the end of the second where Serg had his fight.

The game was pretty boring. Not a lot of intensity. I'm sure Saturday's game will change that.

No doubt. This was an easy and very comfortable victory. But I hope this team comes out ready for Saturday this time. You’d like to see them get really focused down the stretch and get consistent and make habits and not rely on flipping a switch for certain games.

I like Maroon saying what he said. I like the whole you’re never as good or as bad as you think you are mind set. Bolts can talk about certain positive things they did well in the loss to Boston and then get real critical of where they fell short in their win against Montreal.

 

[TheFurryPickle]

yay we won.. didnt watch last q - had my own training for tomorrow.

But2 hedman goals wowee, we are clicking now boys. 4-0

 

[T REX]

Nice win. Need Saturday. A very workmanlike performance.

 

[DFC]

This felt kind of like a 18/19 win, where they built a lead and then just put it on cruise control.

Yes this team is performing like a unit. When our D men come back I expect them to be shaky again but come good for the finals.

Thats how I see the rest of the regular season playing out anyway.

 

[FinnLightning26]

What a boring ass game but it was a shutout win so whatever.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Goodrow was our only forward to play more than 16 minutes at 16:38. All four lines evenly spread between 13 and 15 minutes. Same picture on defense with all defensemen playing between 17 and 19 minutes with Hedman (24:36) and Serg (20:41) as the two outliers.

Solid win.

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

game didnt mean much and for most part was played that way i guess can say we knocked another 2 points off to clinching a playoff spot

good news is was plenty of things we can work on power play and pk were not crisp at all thats stuff can adjust for sure so games like this at least tape wise can solve some things..... is really not a lot of true tests rest of year so to work out the kinks as we get healthier is a good thing hopefully they listen and keep improving is all

id really like to see some improvement in the circles in boston one thing coleman did good and we got better as game went.... but that start blah


huge game for serge to stand up to one of the icons in the sport a very big grizzled veteran like weber and actually show he was stronger was truly eye opening to me.... weber is a strong man but in the clinch sergey was moving him around just on pure muscle not so much technique that was awesome so his swag should jump back up again which is awesome

 

[DFC]

Sergachev fighting Weber is a whole different level of street cred.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Serg just doesn’t give a f*** who you are and what you’ve done. Bear of a man and former Norris finalist and gold medal winner Shea Weber? Ok bring it gramps. The kid is awesome!

 

[DFC]

I've become more and more of a "fighting doesn't have any effect on the game" guy. But, at the same time, something about that one felt good, if only to fans. It's kind of cool to have one of those guys who can play at a high level and also won't be messed with.

Obviously not something we want to see him do all the time, as he becomes more and more valuable. But the shot of his teammates watching from the bench was pretty telling. I think they love that this kid has that element to his game.
