BRUINS GDT ECQF GAME 3 7:11 PM - BRUINS at Maple Leafs ( Series tied 1-1 ) - NESN, ESPN, CBC, SN, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[Fenian24]

I feel the 3am acid splashing up into my esophagus just looking at this

You say that like it's a bad thing.

 

[DaStinger]

I'm terrified with Lohrei in. He has had troubles in his own end the past while. I like the offensive potential though.

 

[shelbysdad]

SHOOT IT JERRY !

 

[DarrenBanks56]

Lohrei may be boon or bust type addition to the lineup ....but I think it's a risk worth taking, looking forward to him activating from the D. B's 3-1

he had a great game against tor earlier in the year.

This is one where we need him to generate two goals directly, while giving up just one bad one.

 

[Dicky113]

So surely this is the end of Matt Gryzlyk in Boston. Getting health bombed in game three in a 1-1 first round series says all you need to say given his salary. Same as last year, he just gets hammered on the forecheck until he turns it over every time; just not big enough it seems for his position.

I do admit I’m a bit worried that missing Andrew Peeke is becoming a story line. What does that say about the play of our top 4!

When it's one on one, I find Lohrei to be very good defending. Where he gets in trouble is when he needs to make reads in zone coverage.

I have always thought there was virtually zero chance of him being back next year. But I am not sure it's the last of him we've seen this year. Even assuming no more injuries, a good chance Wotherspoon or Lohrei does something to get themselves benched before it's over.

 

[DaBroons]

The losing coach in this series will be jobless by the end of next week.

Someone please explain to me why Monty went with PP#1 when PP#2 had 3 goals, and they needed a goal to tie Monday night. Plus PP#1 stayed out the nearly the entire PP.

I don't usually criticize coaches, but that was inexplicable.

Monday night they looked like they did against the Caps and Sens. Just no offense whatsoever.

That has to change or this series is over in 5. OTOH, if they find their 5-on-5 offense, the series could be over in 5 in our favor, just as easily.

Yeah but Forbort is ready soon

If Nylander is out the whole series, I'm not sure Keefe loses his job.

Not that I care, but Monty is fine either way. Still, win the series please

 

[goldenblack]

So


JVR-Geekie-Freddy
Beecher-Boqvist-Maroon?

Guess that means Heinen still on the 1st? I'm so ready for them to swap Marchand and Heinen.

 

[bob77]

Just as we have come to watch Graz fizzle in playoffs, there’s no guarantee Lohreei and Witherspoon don’t fizzle as well.

 

[Concessionaire]

JVR huh? I dunno... he hasn't been effective for a while now.

 

[TCB]

Just as we have come to watch Graz fizzle in playoffs, there’s no guarantee Lohreei and Witherspoon don’t fizzle as well.

I'd still take the chance. Lohrei can change the game with his skating and offensive instinct and Witherspoon with aggressiveness. Grizz although a great skater seems to take an eternity when he has the puck in his own end, its freaken madding and ive seen enough of him jumping in from the point and hitting the goalie square in the chest.

And they were out for the whole 2 minutes. I get they're the #1 unit and all, but ti seemed in that situation you have to go with he hot hand. I can see making room for Pasta but otherwise I wanted to see the group that had scored three goals on the ice.

 

[goldenblack]

JVR huh? I dunno... he hasn't been effective for a while now.

Have you met Lauko?

I think JVR was going to get his legs eventually after his illness. He lost so much weight. They've probably been nursing him back.

 

[TCB]

No goalie is good when their screened but Samsanov is one of the worst in the league statistically. Bruins need to get bodies in his line of sight.

 

[caz16]

Try to relax - even Tim Horton's knows the dangers:

 

[TCB]

Pierre McGuire saying he thinks Reilly is hurt. If so Bruins need to bang the $hit of him every chance they get.

 

[GoBs]

How about Freddy taking a few shifts with Zacha and Pasta

 

[NeelyDan]

This is mason lohrei’s coming out party my little squish mittens

You heard it here first

 

[shelbysdad]

SHOOT IT JERRY !

OR we could have Grz....terrifying in his own end......ZERO offense

 

[Over the volcano]

When it's one on one, I find Lohrei to be very good defending. Where he gets in trouble is when he needs to make reads in zone coverage.

He's also prone to soft plays here and there - just losing sharp focus at times - no space for that in the playoffs or against the Leafs. But adrenaline may take care of that tonight

or that they don't
