BRUINS GDT ECSF/ADF GAME 2 - (0) Columbus @ (1) BRUINS | Second Period

[BAD BOY]

So he should anticipate Jones is going to pass from a prime shooting area... while no one is covering him. Put 100 goalies in that situation and all 100 play it the same way. It was just a smart play by Jones

Bread man has scored a lot of goals like that. I don’t care who’s in net. It was a great shot.

Does anyone else cringe and pinch the quarter whenever Chara plays the puck/ steps on the ice?

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Maybe OT won’t be needed to win again tonight.

I think we are seeing the effects of the Jacket's long rest and B's 7 game series.

I cringe when he touches a puck.

Hot takes about rest and rust

 

[Spokedb4life]

Still feel like this.

 

[BAD BOY]

I know Chara is old and slow, but he’s also turned into the worst decision maker on the team.

Just a horrible period for him

He’s made mistakes. But if we can get the top 6 going it might help.

Bruins were losing 2-1 with less than 10min and won last game.

They are now in a better position to win again and make it 2-0.

And they will.

There will be more cringing next season.

 

[Save By Thomas]

CLB doesn't even look good we're practically handing them goals left right and center.

Two absolute flukes and two gifts, that's all they've had....................and they still took game one to overtime and are tied after two periods in game two. Bruin's top line offense, where the hell are you?

 

[TwineTickler]

Gotta be better.... need the best period of the playoffs right here.... need our big guns to f***ing show up.

Still wrong.

This Columbus team does not scare me. The Bruins turning the puck over for no reason does. What is Coyle thinking during the 4v4? Chara is driving me mad.

U missed the hit on Nash.

He should hit more rather than get hit. Tons of times against the boards he has the puck and they get it off him. If they have they puck against the boards, just ******* drill them.

 

[dtam83]

Too many costly turnovers

 

[prizminferno]

Bruins are the better team, finish it

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Columbus benefiting from 9 days off now.

They look fresh, and hungry.

^this is a key factor, Bruins look exhausted, CBJ is whacking them in every corner, lots of high elbows and sticks. Hope they are chugging some 5 hour energy right now

 

[TCB]

Bruins looked awfully tired half-way through that 2nd period, a lot of mental mistakes. They've played a lot of Hockey in the last 18 days. Hopefully they can head to Columbus up 2-0 and be able to enjoy that much needed extra day off either way.

 

[prizminferno]

Rest means nothing. Columbus has done nothing.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Win the third. Win the game. It's that simple.

After seeing that replay, I saw what Coyle was thinking.

Gryz was in front of the net last Coyle saw, so Coyle assumed Gryz was going to jump into the rush and Coyle would stay as the last guy back.

Gryz instead went into a defensive posture, giving Coyle an outlet behind the net.

2 things went wrong here.

Gryz should have been where Coyle passed. Coyle didn't have pressure on him, he didn't need the safety valve behind the net. Gryz stays in front of the net, starts skating when Coyle safely has the puck, and it hits him on the tape and they are leaving the zone with pace.

2nd thing wrong, Coyle didn't look first before passing. Those no look plays work great and throw off the defense, but you cant do that through your own slot.

 

[Andrew83]

It would be nice if they treated a chance to be up 2-0 in the series as a reason to play with a sense of urgency.

I did enjoy Tampa getting swept, but your post is spot on.
