Post-Game Talk: ECF GAME 2 - NO COMPLAINTS - BRUINS 6 Whalercanes 2 F - B's Lead Series 2-0

[Maine Fan]

IMO, they`d have lost to the Leafs without a viable 3rd line

Would you sign Coyle and MoJo for next season?

Coyle is already under contract.

I’d be careful with Mojo on length. Don’t want to overpay after playoff success and get into cap problems. There’s more important pieces to get locked up.

I didn't know where to put this... so, I'll just leave this here: Fanfiction for the Carolina Hurricanes

I doubt they will have the cap space to sign MoJo

 

[Oates2Neely]

Coyle: 3 pts
Heinen: 2 pts
Johansson : 2 pts
Talk about tertiary scoring!
Good job Don Sweeney!

This years Kelly Peverly Ryder

Charlie knows he made a huge error with the ice and his father has told him as much.

What's the story behind this? Did Charlie exclude it from a past renovation or something?

 

[Oates2Neely]

Is it me or does it feel like the Bruins still not played their best hockey yet?

I’m fully expecting the Canes to come out hungry at home in Game 3. They’re an aggressive team and being in front of their fans will give them a big boost.

However I still think there is another level the Bruins haven’t reached yet. As good as they’ve been, they’re still missing opportunities. There is still another gear. I think they bring it hard in Raleigh.

Split in Raleigh and come finish them Saturday night in Boston.

Would you sign Coyle and MoJo for next season?

Coyle is signed through next year but I would try to extend him. I would let MoJo walk and have one of the young guys fill his role. If it works out, great. If not, trade for another MoJo-type at the deadline next year.

 

[Chief Nine]

it`s not just the fans, Haggs must be absolutely lost about what to write post game with Tuukka being so solid, he can`t hammer on him

He can always write about floor pie

 

[Fenway]

Help please, why do Bruin's fans hate Tuukka Rask or is it fans of other teams because he is so good like Brady? Thanks

Game 3 can't get here soon enough.

Go Briuns

The haters always say he was never as good as Tim Thomas

Thomas in 2011 had a save % of .940

Rask in 2013? exactly the same

I suspect he doesn't get the respect from the Canadian media because of the Leafs discarding him

In Boston, some fans have never forgiven him for getting sick in a game the team needed to make the playoffs.

 

[Bodit9]

Brind'Amour doesn't change goalies during a game. Didn't do it once this season (except when Mrazek got hurt against the Isles).

That was utterly baffling. Let's be honest, that game was probably out of reach. I definitely would have taken out my tender after the 2nd and preserved his confidence plus try to give your team a spark. But he decides to stay with him and he gets lit up for two more. Now his confidence is shot. Weird decision.

 

[Fenway]

For the FIRST time this season the Bruins are rolling 4 lines - NINETEEN players have scored a goal in the playoffs.

A team playing its best hockey in May usually works out very well.

Certainly hope so.

He said in his post game comments something to the effect of "other guys should have been pulled/benched too, it's not just the goalie."

Weird, but I'll take it.

In no way do I think this series is over, though. Canes were in this exact situation against Washington, and they have a perfect home record so far. Hope the Bruins stop that little streak.

 

[GoBs]

Game three huge for the Bruins
This is where the Cain’s turned the series on the caps
Then in game four oshie broke his leg and the rest is now history

Crazy isn't it?
We were told again again how the Bs were a one-line team.
Yet, they scored the most goals so far in the playoffs, but have only 2 players in the top ten...
One-line team, yeah don't let facts distort a good storyline.

I'd like to take that plane anytime I travel.

to be fair, they were most of the season. We didn't have a lot of depth and players got injured. The Coyle and Mojo deals have been huge for the team, credit to Don Sweeney even though at the time I wish he had done more. maybe he did enough after all

I think I've always felt like Rask was good in the playoffs but never really put the team on his back like Thomas did, and frankly, pretty much every Stanley Cup winning goalie does. Occasionally he would underwhelm and let in a softie here or there. Almost to the point where it was expected. Not this year though. He's put the team on his back and elevated his game to a level I've ever seen from him. He's been excellent.

 

[sooshii]

Gosh. I hope they’re able to get some rest before tomorrow!

Well...during a big chunk of the regular season they WERE a one line team, with virtually no scoring from lines 2 - 4. Like many posters here I was impatient for the coach and the GM to DO SOMETHING TO FIX IT!!!

They did end up fixing it, but it took some time. And I learned I need to have a bit more patience with this group, from the team leaders to the coach to the GM, because they obviously know what they're doing.

 

[Chief Nine]

Gosh. I hope they’re able to get some rest before tomorrow!

How does he figure that? They swept the Islanders and had plenty of time to rest their weary minds...

 

[The National]

I’m looking forward to seeing how things go in Carolina, if we win 1 of 2 over there I think we’re in really good shape.

I’ll be a bit afraid after that if this series is too quick how we would perform in the next.
