If a player covers puck with hand you then drive stick down as hard as you can on it.Teach him a lesson.Bruins last nite showed same problem they had since last year.No goal scorers. Chiarelli needs to keep the picks he has and start the retooling now.

I don't know if it was apparent on TV but all the fans needed was torches and pitchforks to look like a castle-storming mob.
Lack was leaving rebounds all over the place. They all seemed to bounce over sticks or land too far away from Bruins who were too close to the net. The guy had the proverbial horseshoe up his patootie. It was frustrating as hell to watch; I can only imagine how it felt to be on the ice.
Well, you must have really enjoyed those games that the NHL teams played the Soviet teams. The NHL teams would always outshoot the Soviet teams by a large margin and lose anyways. Shots on goals and 'dominating' one period is not important. Winning the game or even getting a loser point is what counts for the playoff race.
I have been a Bruin fan since the 1966 season and I have never been more frustrated with this team than I am now. The players talk about taking positives from a 2-1 loss on home ice to a back up goalie makes me want to puke.
Complete lack of effort in crashing the net, Rask has to get up off his damn knees and how many damn shots did they take that did not even hit the net. Should implement team fines for taking a shot from inside the red dot that does not hit the net. Pathetic....

I agree with previous posters on the missed shots, as well as the injuries the Canucks were playing through.
Insult to injury in all this, we finish the season 0-6 against the Habs and Canucks, with the obvious 0-3 at home. Sure, there's been a lot of turnover for both Vancouver and Boston since 2011, but outside of the psychological problems that are plaguing this team, it boggles the mind how they can't ratchet it up a notch against their (formerly bitter, I guess) rivals.

Based on the way the Bs handle (or don't handle, as it were) shootouts, I was glad a penalty shot wasn't called, with this team I always would prefer penalty over penalty shot, and even then, with the way their PP can be (i.e. vs. Dallas), sometimes that's not even a good thing to go on the PP (even though it should be and is for most teams) and if they tried to "teach them a lesson" by doing what you suggested then the Bs would be called for the penalty and VAN goes on the PP, not saying it's right, just the way it is (e.g. Hansen dive).

They were crashing the net all game. I don't know what you were watching, sorry. Sometimes, as much as it sucks, you don't get the bounces.
And of course they have to take positives - what do you want them to do, take negatives? How does that help?
Oh, so you mean like when CHI won the Cup, and then they traded a bunch of guys, only to win the Cup again two years later?
Oh...wait
The Cap is stagnant, the B's have holes that need to be addressed, and hard decisions need to be made. The "selling process" as you call it is a necessary evil. Do you really think it would be smarter to throw away picks and/or prospects (the future) on a team that has been maddeningly inconsistent all year, only to have them bow out in the first round?
I don't.
Also, with the way that some of the vets have been playing, I think that the B's could get rid of Paille, Campbell, Sides, Loui at the deadline and roll with PRO guys or pieces they get in the trades and have just as good a shot at the playoffs. They were losing with Krejci in the lineup, and yet with him out, the team has turned in two of it's more energetic performances all month.
If you sell, and are smart about it, there is no reason the team will not be more ready to compete next year than this one is now.

Your reference was made toward Chicago reorganisation. Selling involves much more, especially if it touches the core. Hope you see the difference.

But... But... When you come back from a long road trip like that, you know it’s going to be tough your first game back. I thought our guys handled it well by dominating this game, putting a lot of opportunities on net, but just couldn’t seem to find the back of the net tonight.

He is 100 percent right. It is a proven fact that the first game after a long road trip is tough and I thought the bruins handled it well.

Crawford is 2nd in the league in terms of quality starts %. Eddie Lack is one of the worst in the league. Math says Crawford just had a terrible game and that the B's offense sucks.
My comment was a joke it wasn't serious but of course I consider the Lack -buffalo comments a joke as well. I didn't see the game last night but I can tell you Lack had two great games before it. Every goalie gets hot not just the great ones.
