f*** canes

Meh. Bruins in 5. Canes are trash. Cans weren't even in the game until the refs gave them life. Boston does need to finish tho (as usual).

 

[rocketdan9]

Team has trouble scoring. Without Pasta it was magnified.... what happened to him?

 

[Widdlez]

The only goaltending problem tonight was that the offense couldn't beat an abysmal one 5v5, let alone put any pressure on him.

 

[Bruinator]

Bruins beat themselves in this game.

He jumped up in the air.

 

[Mione134]

Where do you expect to find that?

Jack Studnicka.

He looked great with Krejci and DeBrusk. Him with Coyle would be a good line. Coyle is carrying that line. Ritchie cannot keep up.

Canes forchecked our Ds hard. Kuraly style. Bruins need to instruct the Ds to fight it and bring it out on their own. Otherwise canes pulling the ol TB mid ice trap

 

[TD Charlie]

I don’t think Carolina has been all that great but that’s not what bothers me being knotted at 1 here.

the real troubling part is that they’ve now played 6 full games and haven’t been able to pull it all together. Not even close. The offense is still timid and everyone is caught with their thumb in their ass on the other end of the ice at some point.

the bad habits have not been addressed at all

 

[BAD BOY]

Team has trouble scoring. Without Pasta it was magnified.... what happened to him?

I hope he comes back. He has this tendency of being injured at the wrong time

 

[Zillah]

Yes they put three past us, but for the love of Christ you have to put more than two past Reimer

 

[Emerz]

Canes didn't play well in my estimation, but they did win, which is all that matters in a 7 game series.

Not saying Rask has been bad or anything but need a few games over a .900 for him, the Canes aren't getting many shots on net which may be giving him some trouble getting in to a rhythm.

I'm not really worried, still think this is Bruins in 5 or 6, though I hope Pasta isn't out for more than another game or 2.

 

[McGarnagle]

Bruins in 5. We completely ran them out of the arena and that was without our best forward. Unfortunately refs bought Brindabitch's whining and handed them a PP that shifted momentum and turned a 1-0 game quickly into a 2-1 game, then let them hold, hook, slash, and interfere on every play in the final 3 minutes to keep it 3-2.

Keep the effort they showed late in the third going and we'll crush them.

 

[22Brad Park]

Tough loss and tough break on Wagner clean hit but that is the way it goes sometimes.Still feel Bruins will win this series but would be more sure with a Pastrnak return

 

[KrejciMVP]

We need pasta back or we're done

 

[bruins19]

Clown show in our own end on the third goal, but it is behind us now. We will win the next one and take what is now a five game series.

 

[BTO]

Bruins beat themselves in this game.

Don't they always? It's always their lack of finish that gets them. I know it's tautological, but when they finish they win. So just F*****g FINISH!

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Jack Studnicka.

He looked great with Krejci and DeBrusk. Him with Coyle would be a good line. Coyle is carrying that line. Ritchie cannot keep up.

#FreeStud

I want Studnicka in if Pasta can’t play Saturday.

 

[JRull86]

I can understand the argument to sit Ritchie, but it's not for Kuhlman.

That experiment needs to end. He's a JAG.

 

[somethingwentwrong]

You can tell Rask wasn't too happy about all those D giveaways and the rest of the team read his body language and kind of got befuddled.

 

[Mione134]

He jumped up in the air.

 

[TwineTickler]

The only goaltending problem tonight was that the offense couldn't beat an abysmal one 5v5, let alone put any pressure on him.

Yea they were pretty poor 5v5 tonight after being real good last game. We missed Pasta. I am shocked Studnicka didn't get the call. Can't replace skill with a fast 4th liner

 

[Trap Jesus]

There were 2 like 5ish minute lulls that the Canes buried their chances on. Overall I thought it was a decent game, not nearly as good as the 1st game though. First line still was good without Pasta, and McAvoy has been straight up exceptional.

I think regardless of whether Pastrnak is out long term, they need to inject something different on the 3rd line. Coyle is on his own island out there.

The Krejci line had a great start but struggles the last 40.

Krug and Carlo had really bad games.

Starting to get pretty frustrated with Rask, just have to ride it out with him though.

 

[Baddkarma]

Svechnikov is a horse. He is an impressive player and man is gonna wear out guys like Krug, Carlo, and Grizzy. Fun to watch big players that play big. Eh Ritchie?
