How has Coleman been for you guys? I see he had 10 PIMs tonight. Must be sticking up for his new teammates, miss that dude

Not great, but not bad.

Great on the penalty kill
Decent defensively 5 on 5
Great foot speed
Horrible in the offensive zone (particularly passing and IQ)

His tenacity and energy has been pretty good, but it’s not at an elite level like Cirelli.

It’s early so hopefully he keeps making strides with our team. I can see the potential and I hope it gets unleashed in the playoffs!

Detroit is a practice

I bet we will lose lol

 

[DistantThunderRep]

I bet we will lose lol

I would expect nothing less.

Your fight announcer is Jack Edwards

Man that announcer is a loser.

 

[Master P]

I bet we will lose lol

After tonight I could honestly care less if they dropped the game against the wings tomorrow.

That being said I still expect a win.

too early to see he shows flashes so far every game but we miss passes or he is missing passes this is a timing thing that will get right

so far no complaints brought him in for a reason expect big things it takes time by playoffs he will be super valuable along with goodrow

Stick taps to Maroon too who really didn't want to go with Chara (and I don't blame him) but went anyway and got the take down. He's the guy with the ring in the room trying to tell everyone how it's gotta be, and you get a lot of cred in the room for taking on Chara.

Really everyone was involved in this one, but Chara's still Chara. That one feels a little different.

night and day difference we were not trying to cheat tonight penalties made that first period very choppy is all

last game we were terrible also the shot callers were idiots wasnt 14-6 tonight...... we were less physical then last game but we were playing guys and puck in first better got hemmed a couple times but again blame refs they made some questionable calls icing etc... UNSURE why this post popped up i chose the post of you days saying this game started like last

night and day really we played this one the right way worked it over cheating if we dont cheat we should have no trouble moving on first two rounds hopefully the guys get that

it almost felt with the 4 on 4 that we were penalized that full period i do like how face offs went especially in this game as it went on that was impressive after the last couple games

Jack is Jack

Rick Peckham still has many fans in New England from his Hartford days as back then the Whalers were allowed to beam into Boston so the Bruins could also feed Connecticut.

I really hope we meet in the second round as that might be the SCF but as last year proved nothing is certain in round one - That said



Three things are certain - home ice will mean nothing, the two teams genuinely hate each other and Jacobs will happily sell hot dogs and beer in both arenas.

What sucks is it will be in the second round. This game last night and a lot of playoff series over the last 5 years scream for a reason for re-seeding after the 1st round.

Wow 30 pages. I missed a good one apparently.

Wow 30 pages. I missed a good one apparently.

Probably the best game of the season. Both teams were finishing every check, fighting for every inch, and playing hard as hell. You just dont see games like this much nowadays.

[Coopers Gum]

“And Chara says, you wanna see the afterlife?! I’ll take you there!”

immediately gets flopped. Love it.

Wow 30 pages. I missed a good one apparently.

In a word:

EPIC.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Geez, I rarely watch a game that already happened but I may have to watch this one. Couldn’t catch it last night.

 

[Stammertime91]

Feels great waking up today after that win

 

[Domenic Pazzia]

This is hands down the worst officiated, I use that term loosely here, game I have seen in a long time.

God have mercy on whoever plays Boston first round.

This is funny cause we feel the same way . How about the Blues doing whatever they wanted to us with no calls last year? End of the day everyone thinks their team is getting the shaft

 

[Major4Boarding]

Bogo having a solid night tonight. Sabre’s fans are going to be upset.

Like I said before. Now that McD is ready (maybe even as early as tonight), and the Chosen One right around the corner, I'm ready to head back to Lowes and get my deposit back on my tool rental.

Tool did it's job.

That’s the worst one to me. Heard that last night while watching replays. Take your Harvard degree (this is really kind of a compliment) to the hospital (wtf? commentator calling for injury to a player?)

 

[Antiramie]

One of the biggest takeaways from this game is the emergence of Cirelli and Serg as the de facto leaders on this team, especially without Stamkos in the lineup. Their presence in that role has been increasingly more prominent. Almost feels like a changing of the guard with the young guys starting to take control in key situations and flare ups. Point doing the same in the CBJ series last year is another example. Definitely an encouraging variable going into the playoffs.

Also, I know the officiating was dog shit last night, but good god does this team take a lot of dumb penalties. We need to get that fixed ASAP.

What an awesome game. Would love a playoff series against the Bruins. There's some real hatred between these teams.

Good luck in the playoffs this year guys, gotta feeling you will be going deep in the PO's this year!!!

Literally sounds like one of Brick's "insults" in Anchorman.

 

[Domenic Pazzia]

Boston board is hilarious. One poster saying missing Carlo is the equivalent of missing McDonagh, Stamkos, and Hedman.

And then this gem also.

He is right the refs were awful on both sides... don't get crazy. Carlo is a big piece but def not the equivalent of those 3 lol

Jack is insufferable, embarrassed to listen to him most of the time
