Pre-Game Talk: Bruins at Sens 10/23/18 7:30

[NyQuil]

That was a beaut goal from Marchand to Pasta but damn I feel like DeMelo just let March side off him there lol

Well, I felt bad for him because it was a Boro created 2 on 1.

 

[Sensators]

Played decent
Need to do a better job to get rebounds in front of the net
Their top line was kept in check and still put up 8 points
Marchand assist was nasty
Forecheck was really good at times
Not even mad

 

[God Says No]

Demelo had a rough game. All the D except Boro and Demelo were good I thought. Smith had his best game of the year.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

You mean like Brady Tkachuk?

That's supposed to be Tkachuk. No need for knee jerk trades.

In addition to Tkachuk.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Chara, Grzwhatever, Carlo are all legit D men.

Chara is probably better suited for bottom pairing duties at this stage in his career.

He looked out of place out there tonight

 

[Another Mr Lizard]

Andy fell again

No he didn’t, he just got fooled by gravity. Your bias is ridiculous!

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Did we still outshoot Boston? We’re any d men missing?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Rask won’t even need a shower after that. Bruins are a very good team, that’s 11 in 2 games.

That wasn’t easy for them.

 

[CorrectOpinion]

No more bobby on the PP. Or anywhere for that matter.

HE SET UP OUR ONLY GOAL. DURRR.

 

[CorrectOpinion]

We deserved better but Boston has a ton of momentum.

 

[NyQuil]

Radio guys saying the game might have been different with Ceci in.

Yes, it could have been 6 or 7 to 1.

I thought most of the D played pretty well.

 

[NyQuil]

Did we still outshoot Boston? We’re any d men missing?

We always outshoot when we lose or are losing.

If we go on a big losing streak we will really be dominant.

 

[JD1]

everyone's happy when we get two points we don't deserve. tonight we didn't get two points we did deserve

I was there. haven't looked up any stats. but we had the better of the play. we had the better of the scoring chances. and notwithstanding the score, Boston execs watching that game are definitely saying "if that team is supposed to finish 31st were f***ed"

Meh, I think they’re saying, sometimes you win because you have the best line in the league and you scored on more of your PP opportunities.

 

[CorrectOpinion]

Who did they say was on a plant based diet?

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Chara apparently

 

[NyQuil]

Chara apparently

He eats trees.

Chara apparently

This is insane to me.

Smith and Chabot were our best players tonight. Stone was fantastic in the 1st and first 10 of the 2nd. Duchene only showed up in the last 5 minutes of the game.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

He eats trees.

Hey I used this joke already in the GDT

I thought we played really well, some sloppy bits, and some passes were off, but overall, I agree with you we deserved a better fate.

Not sure how worried Boston is, they are without McAvoy who is a huge part of that team, and Krug should be back soon too, that's a huge boost when they get back.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Smith and Chabot were our best players tonight. Stone was fantastic in the 1st and first 10 of the 2nd. Duchene only showed up in the last 5 minutes of the game.

I think someone mentioned it but he may be looking ahead to the Colorado game in Friday.

Hopefully he gets up for that game. They will be facing a better top line than the one they faced tonight.

 

[Tundraman]

Take away the 5 on 3 and it's anybody's game. Sens could have easily had a few more goals and Boston pretty well maxed their dangerous chances except the the one where Jaros tied up Bergeron's stick in the crease. As long as the team doesn't get a mental block over Boston it's all good. The young guys will continue to get better. I'd just like to see someone younger replace Carey for the long term's sake.

I once had a fourmentos incident, my skin was sticky for 9 hours...

What was itchy then?

 

[Multigrain]

Well, I felt bad for him because it was a Boro created 2 on 1.

Its because DeMelo is showing the type of player he actually is. Yes, he is steady but not the superstar that some fans have made him out to be.
