GDT: Boston Bruins v Buffalo Sabres - 4/17/13 - II

[BergyDGD]

Chill out people. They played great all game with tons of heart but got screwed by some bad luck and AWFUL reffing. It doesn't hurt that Miller played the game of a lifetime either.

 

[BklyNBruiN]

And they STILL LOST. Do you think letting teams hang around is a formula for winning in the playoffs? Especially when this team is now notorious for blowing 3rd period leads and being unable to come back from deficits. They're in for a world of hurt.

Yep.. I am not getting my hopes up too high. Yea sure this team will bring it up a notch in the playoffs but, so will the opposing teams.

 

[KrazyLegs]

Real tough to win games when you keep getting substantially less PP than the other team, and when you do not get many PPs. I know the PP is struggling, but hell, for all intents and purposes we only had one to their six. Someone tell me how 6 to essentially 1 PP is a well called game when Boston should have had at least 4 PPs. Really frustrated with this ********.

Yup...and it's hard to swallow that it's just incompetent officiating. Incompetence = bad calls for both teams. We've seen the Bs get consistently screwed this season...and it's getting GD old.

That PP with 3.7 seconds left was the ultimate taunt.

 

[TJF]

For those upset fans in here remember its just a game, I think this week proves there's a lot more to life than your favourite hockey team losing in a shootout.

 

[Bruins Stooge]

0 hits for Lucic on the 4th line (ya know, the checking energy line)

 

[TMac21]

Frustrating loss, the Bruins deserved better but they just can't close out games like they used to.

 

[ThirdManIn]

**** Steve Ott.

 

[TheBigBadB]

Its time for Lucic to go to the pressbox. Nothing is fazing him at all. Demoted to the fourth line and you still play with no effort or protect your teammates. You failed even as a fourth liner...

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

So how did we blow this one? I had to pick up my kid were up 2-1. Come home lost in shootout

Had total control of the game. Should have been 7-1 if not for Miler.

Then with 45sec left, Ference turn in the corner after being in a battle with a Sabres player and accidentally put the puck in the stands. Buffalo scored on another deflection with 20 sec left.

And some here are are crying like the Bruins got outplayed... Go figure...

 

[SerenityRick]

What are you talking about?

They totally dominated that game. Miller ain't allowed to steal games?

And if it wasn't for this unintentional delay of game crappy call on Ference, that was a win.

But I guess it's easier to cry and moan...

To some Bruins fans.. it's impossible for another team to just flat out have a good game or for their goalie to stand on their head.

It's always the Bruins fault. Bad reffing? Bad puck luck? Nope. Just excuses.

It's getting really annoying having to hear it after every ****ing loss.

This loss hurt. But If I hear "this team is one and done in the playoffs" one more ****ing time I swear to God I'm going to twist a kitten.

 

[Scotto74]

love Z for setting that up. Guy is class

 

[Gee Wally]

Hey guys, tough break.

Still, I love you all, and hope nothing but the best. Boston is one of the best cities in the entire world. Not just because of history or stereotypical touristy ********, but because of the people who live there.

I have many friends outside of the country who think we are all calloused, over-weight pieces of ****.

**** them

Thank you all for being real. Thank you all for being fans. More importantly, thank you all for being Bostonians.

WE ARE BOSTON

Pardon. But I prefer the term 'calorically challenged'. Thank you

The Bruins are not capable of playing with emotions. They just aren't.

When Jaromir Jagr came to Boston, I'm sure he didn't think he'd have to fight his own battles. He gets run by Kaleta and Scott AND HE HAS TO ANSWER FOR IT HIMSELF! Not Chara. Not Thornton. Not Lucic. JAGR HAD TO FIGHT HIS OWN MOTHER ****ING BATTLE. WHAT?!

No faith in this team at all. Something is seriously wrong in that locker room.

I don't... It just doesn't make sense. What happened to the team (these same core of guys!) that stood up for one another? That stepped up to the occasion?

I don't get it.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

are people really saying they didn't get up for this one? They dominated most of the game but couldn't catch a break from the refs and Miller was too good. This was not a loss caused by lack of effort.

 

[ThirdManIn]

If any of you guys are in the Nashville area send me a message. I have a couch for you at very least.

 

[Andrew83]

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PLAYOFFS NOW. Regular season doesn't matter!

Yeah seriously - it's not that big of a deal Buffalo got 2 instead of 1 and it's not like this extra point is do-or-die for us. Not sure why people are so pissed off about the game.

 

[Tim O'Reilly]

the only thing a joke about this is the pathetic fans on this board who never stop putting them down...if you dont like the team shut yur mouth and go watch something else. they played great tonight miller was lights out and a few bad calls dosnt mean the team sucks. worse then habs fans on here

Well said.

 

[KrazyLegs]

As much as we all dislike Miller...isn't he something like 25-8 against Boston now?

Need to run him again.

 

[kytem2]

I used to love Lucic as a player, but now this $6 million dollar man is horrendous. What can be done to get rid of him ?

 

[Bojakees*]

Cant even beat the SABRES at HOME and score more then two goals....JAGR is playing great but it has not opened up the ice....The lines are a mess. You don't know who is playing with who from game to game or shift to shift....LUCIC is a MESS. Why did he have to fly home last month ? Is his baby OK ? HORTON...You hardly hear his name called all night.
This was a disgrace. Maybe CHIA should pull a LOU LAM and fire Claude and have NEELY coach the team. I LOVE Claude...But this team may have had their run with him....They are too talented offensively to be this inept offensively. They seem to be a team like they never even played together. I have not seen Horton hit anyone in months....

Could they simply be saving the physicality for the playoffs ???

 

[C77]

Invisible as always. I don't think I even noticed him in the third.

Well that means he didn't turn the puck over too much I guess. Things are looking up!

Good point. I didn't realize it was 6 -1 PP's for the Sabres. That sure screws up the lines and momentum.

 

[bigcat188]

Someone has to tell the Bruins they don't get a cupie doll for hitting the goalies emblem.

 

[PrisonMike]

can't wait to see the excuses that are made for these guys when we get bounced in the frist round

 

[Xegiie]

our team played great game..
all lines
had many chances, what didn't go in this time will go in next time

what i didnt like were 1] refs 2] lack of physical play
