GDT: Bruins - Canes Monday 8 April at 7pm NHLN-US & 98.5 Hub

[CamFan81]

i've gotta stop hanging around these GDT;s when i run out of beer

Lucic worked his ass off again tonight, didn't get an assist on the ference goal but did 80% of the work.

Did the work to find the open man (hamilton) who feed Horton for a tip in.


But he's been invisible? Lazy? I mean wtf are some people watching here. Oh thats right, leaf games.

The ultimate floater gets a few tip ins and he's beasting.

 

[GoBs]

Man, This game was great.. However it Puts the team in a tough spot in a good way.

Obviously Marchand and Jagr have great Chemistry..

The top six is doing well it just leaves one thing that noone wants to see and that's Seguin on the Third line.

Good problem to have.. I don't see Claude Splitting up LKH especially since Horton got a goal tonight again.. so that's 13 this year... Not too shabby with the way people are complaining about him..


The only negative i take out of this Game is Seguin being with linemates that really have nothing to bring to the offensive flare of his Game.

If we could get a Soderberg Seguin Kelly line.. or something that'd be a site though!

Canes were awful. Switching back and forth between this game and Rags leafs was night and day.

Tuukka stood on his head tonight, and peters/Ellis struggled to make saves.

 

[cat400]

Over the last 3 games Rask has quietly put to rest any doubt who the team's number one goalie is.

If not for his brilliant play in the 1st 10 minutes, tonight's game could have gone down hill very quickly.

I watched every minute of the game. You can apologize all night for him. He must have incriminating photos of Clode to stay on the top line forever That is the only explanation. I love the guy...but right now he blows.

 

[bruinsfan1982]

horton has 13 goals and scored 4 in the last 6 games better get rid of him.... team is 4 points from the big bad penguins with a game in hand ... we are terrible. All teams go through rough patches why dont yas try looking at the positives instead of always whining. I swear this team could have a perfect season and people on here would complain.

then your blind. or drunk.

 

[mashmont]

I don't get it..

The Bruins lose 2-1 to the habs.. Everyone is negative on how bad this team is.

Win 6-2 vs a Cane's team that is really bad..

And this team is still "garbage" according to some here. What did the Score have to be in order for this game to be considered a good game for the team?

Goalie's sometimes have to stand on their heads no matter what team your playing.

 

[Braunbaer]

That game is pure poison for this team.

And Claude will actually think these lines are good.

 

[jasonbaz77*]

then your blind. or drunk.

Hey man I am a fellow Rhody be nice

I wont get drunk until Friday.

I love Looch and Horts, but I think we need a different 1st line right now. would love to see DK work with Segs and Jags a bit...mix in marchand. JMO.

 

[Paddington]

The best thing about the Bruins offense tonight, Carolina's olé defense not withstanding, was the netfront presence. All 6 goals were scored from right around the blue paint. This is what the team needs a little more of.

The defense left a little to be desired. They have been giving up way too many shots lately.

Rask was very sharp early on. If he wasn't, the game could have gone in a different direction. The Tlusty save comes to mind.

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

Sort of surprised that people think the score is the ultimate measure of the quality of a team's play.

I'll take a 2-0 win where we dominate over a 6-2 win where we don't. And with weeks before the playoffs, I'll take 3 losses of the 0-1 variety where we outshot the other team 45-22 to 3 wins where we got outshot 45-22.

Good play is all that matters when you're trying to win 4 playoff rounds. There's no hiding your flaws in 7 games against Montreal or Pits. So I can see why people want to see effort, less giveaways, a better PP, etc... Because that's what it takes.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

OK, this was a lot more about 'Canes being horrible than any improved offensive chemistry from B's....but selfishly...means I got to hear "Dirty Water" twice in same day for two Boston sports teams!

 

[bruinsfan1982]

krejci is 2nd on the team in points ... Horton is 3rd on the team in goals if your gonna chirp this line why not the rest
when horton shows up in the playoffs again everyone will be kissing his backside saying how clutch he is

 

[Soderberg]

krejci is 2nd on the team in points ... Horton is 3rd on the team in goals if your gonna chirp this line why not the rest

no one has a problem with krejci and the amount of goals horton has isn't indicative of how he's playing. him and lucic need to be split and seguin needs to be promoted.

 

[Bruinator]

then your blind. or drunk.

Probably Both

Can't say that- they will say you are drunk if you suggest something to fix the problem.

 

[the overrated]

I don't know why everyone is so impressed with a 6-2 win against a team thats like 1-8-1 in their last 10 and we gave up over 40 shots....Not impressed at all...

Until we start dismantling playoff teams like this, I'll be happy. Team needs to start shooting more, putting the puck in the net and stop turning the puck over so much. Too many turnovers, sloppy D and shots on net.

How often this season has a playoff team been beaten by a 6-2 score? It's few & far between.

The B's record against playoff teams (plus NJ & Winnipeg, who are likely to slide into the 8th spot/SE champ spot, respectively) is something like 16-10, and they only have a single loss to one of those teams that was more than a single goal (compared to 5 games in which they've won by 2 or more goals).

They're not playing great, but they're playing well enough to win more often than not, against the cellar dwellers and the playoff bound teams. If you're going to wait for a playoff team to be dismantled before you're happy, you're probably not going to be a happy person too often.

Set up the Ference goal by smoking someone behind the goal line, drawing defenders to him and out of position, then gave it to Siedenberg. That was at the end of a shift. By the time he got to the bench, puck was in the net.

Got open down low for DK to make an easy pass to him, saw Hamilton wide open at the point, who gave it to Horton for yet another gimmee.

Only guy on the PP who was able to establish possession. In fact, 3 times he out worked a pker, came up w/ the puck, made a good pass to a Dman who did the deer in headlights routine. But, yet again we're talking a/b Milan Lucic.

You love the guy? The only explanation is, you loathe the guy. That or need the game explained to you.

Can you tell me what DK did all night? How a/b Horton other than the 1 second it took to shoot on an open net. Not to mention, tank 2 other plays Lucic set up where Horton drilled it into the crest w/ both corners wide open. DK tanked one, too.

You'd think the guy got caught w/ a Ann Coulter book. It's getting old.

Ann Coulter book? I'm not a militant flaming liberal so your reference is lost on me.

Exactly this, getting the puck to the night and players converging. Hope they continue to do this as opposed to looking for the perfect play.

 

[8spokesontheB]

Kessel was a BEAST tonight

Kessel is Beast. Kessel is awesome, and was awesome when he was here. He was Ironman. Swept Price.

I love Kessel. Wish we could have traded for him...I would have apologised.....

Btw...go watch a Rangers game. Watch Rick Nash. That's what a star winger is supposed to do. Then we can have a cake for Lucic.

One thing people seem to be missing, is that this team has not had any more than 1 day off for over a month now and wont until the end of the season. This kind of brutal schedule takes its toll on players' recovery times. It also affords them very little practice time to work on deficiencies. The Bruins are paying for their early season light schedule now. Personally I'm not overly concerned about it because they have guys who know exactly what it takes to win come playoff time.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

then your blind. or drunk.

I wasn't really paying attention to looches game. But I noticed he had at least 5 d zone turnovers in the first period and a half.
He is a turnover machine right now. By far the worst on the team.

And who would be the left wing?
