GDT: Columbus at Boston Feb 22: The "can the Placeholder Edition go 3 for 3" edition

[TaketheCannoli]

He let in a controversial one and had a deflection. Not sure how that puts black marks on his record.

He's regularly letting in one or more bad goals per game. I think he can be a very good goalie but he needs more development before he is handed the keys.

Wild Bill makes a pretty good 3/4 line C. Makes the Campbell signing even more confusing.

Karlsson was completely unproven before this season. And still somewhat is. He has a lot of potentially grow, or he may never grow.


Murrrray!!!

 

[We Want Ten]

Murray!

 

[Dednimnepo]

PP Goal!

 

[JacketFanInFL]

It's a shame we are going to trade him, Hartnell is a stalwart.

 

[CBJx614]

Are we overperforming or is Boston underperforming?

This is all true, but it really brings back the Letestu stuff which I won't go into. IMO he has proven he has what it takes to be a bottom 6 C in the NHL. Needs FO work, but so do a lot of other players on this team.

 

[Dednimnepo]

I like how were getting this game under control

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Gustafson is terrible

 

[Cowumbus]

Could it be that we don't trade Hartnell because with a top 3 pick Jarmo thinks we will contend? And if we don't get a top 3 pick, then we trade Hartsy next deadline with less years on contract?

 

[Jaxs]

Are we overperforming or is Boston underperforming?

Yes

 

[We Want Ten]

This game could be the confidence booster this team needs to solidify their playoff push.

Very possible IMO

Did i hear them say in pre-game the Bruins have not beat a playoff team in 2 months....that's hard to believe if so

edit....maybe they said 1 win in 2 months

 

[EspenK]

Tell me which one was the bad one tonight? He was "interfered" with and a deflection. I don't see either as a bad goal.

 

[Cowumbus]

Very possible IMO

The more I think about it I feel like it's very likely.
Hartnell Wennberg Saad ...........Saad Wennberg Laine/Pulij
Calvert Dubinsky Atkinson.........Jenner Dubinsky Atkinson
Foligno Matthews Jenner............Hartnell Karlsson Foligno
Rychel Karlsson Anderson......... Calvert Chaput Rychel

Make a cheap bottom 6 ufa signing if you don't want the young guns in not a bad forward core

No I think you heard it right. Haven't beaten a playoff team in two months per Rimer.

But as usual Rimer isn't quite right. They just beat Dallas. Before that though it was 12/18 against Pittsburgh.

It looks to me like they have only 7 wins against playoff teams all year. And 2 of those were against the Penguins early when I think the Pens were not a playoff team or at least just a borderline one like they are now.

Maybe they really aren't very good.

11-25-71 line is working hard tonight

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Soft.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Comeback!

I know it was redirected, but I think that qualifies.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Jack can be mad all he wants but he's the one wh shoved him into Korpisalo

 

[TaketheCannoli]

The second one was at best questionable, the third one was just bad.

Repaly didn't really show that I think.

 

[EspenK]

You're a tough critic. Most analysts and coaches would say " he didn't have a chance there".

Yeah, he could have made a great save but not doing so doesn't make him any worse imo.
