Post-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 1 - For the FIRST time since March 10th - FREE BEER!!! - B's 4 Whalercanes 3 F/2OT

[Olden McGroin]

You can take the Reimer out of Toronto. But you can’t take the Toronto out of Reimer.

COME ON DOWN BUDDY. Time for a reunion!

Game 2 let’s go!

Don't forget Gardiner, probably happy that none of the games are at the TD Garden

 

[Coach Parker]

Loved what I saw from Kase. If he can keep up this level of play, he could be the best RW for Krejci since Loui Eriksson.

Agreed. Saw a couple instances where they got their cycle going and the Matrix found him with open ice.

 

[Bruinaura]

Chara hugs are the best

 

[LucicIsABeast]

I missed the first because of meetings but a few things:

- Krejci, he was reborn this game (and I’ll eat crow for now because I think he’s toast and have said so)
- Kase is a nice spark, but is a martyr, continually asking to be crushed
- chara is slow
- Ritchie might be slower
- I could watch Coyle box out along the wall with the puck all day . Thing of beauty
- PP needs to change, they are aggressive on the blue line and need to get neutral zone speed and dump it in occasionally so it isn’t so predictable
- welcome back Perfection Line

PS don’t know what that officiating was in the 2nd period, but Bruins were the better team

 

[Bruinaura]

He's kinda good, I guess?

 

[Coach Parker]

Next practice, just work on the PP over and over. On the other side of the ice let Krejci and Kase play keep-away and continue the bromance.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Did Chara complete a pass today?

Ritchie looked like he had no idea what to do in the defensive zone. Screened Rask on both of the long goals while covering no one.

Had to be Fleury's best game ever.

Nordstrom, Krejci, Grzelyck and McAvoy were all excellent.

Pasta may have had the worst goal and assist game of his career.

 

[weaponomega]

Really surprised how into this game I was. I really didn't care about any of the round robin games.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Great time to win their first game and end a 3 game losing streak

**** the canes!

You mean 3 meaningless games losing streak.

1-0 when it matters.

Total domination and well deserved win.

Krejci line best line on the ice. Created chances all game.

Canes were lucky to be in it.

Dump these Jerks out of the bubble. The sooner, the better.

Go Bruins!

 

[Braunbaer]

Since the game was scheduled for 2am in my country, I went to sleep and to work so I could watch the replay after work in the evening (which was about 3 hours ago).

I had no frickin idea I was watching the game live.

Just found out the game was postponed when I visited nhl.com after the game. Some comments by Brick and Jack made much more sense then.

Ritchie out and Studnicka in perhaps?

Marchand, is that you? lol

 

[Gator Mike]

2nd line was awesome today.

 

[Zillah]

 

[rocketdan9]

Ritchie by far the worst player today. Bjork was not far ahead of him.

But I'm ABSOLUTELY NOT playing Kuhlman over him.

Yeah... I'm not sure if Kuhlman would be an upgrade over Bjork

But 3rd line creates a situation where Cassidy may have to double shift the other lines tiring them out

Plus you don't play Coyle as much.....which is bad because he should get his mins

 

[lopey]

No practice time, they play tomorrow night..

Flip pass to no one in the neutral zone, off the glass and out or gives it to McAvoy.

 

[NeelyDan]

Completely moist.

2nd line was awesome today.

Love how that line looked today. More please...

 

[rocketdan9]

Coyle's goal is listed as unassisted on ESPN and NHL.com FWIW...

weird

because Ritchie should definitely get an assist. He literally powered the puck through Mzarek glove, to get the loose puck to Coyle

 

[Scruffy]

I sit Ritchie and go Bjork Coyle Studnicka

 

[Bruinaura]

Who didn't??

 

[LSCII]

It looked to me that Bjork and Ritchie both touched the puck and could have/should have gotten an assist. Originally it was listed as both of them getting one, but they apparently changed it?
