BRUINS GDT ECSF/ADF GAME 3 - (1) BRUINS @ (1) Columbus - NBCSN, CBC, SN(4K), TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[MAINE-IAC]

CBJ the better team in the first, not just getting the goal but controlling the puck and delivering far more hits.....somehow got to disrupt Bobo from his Timmy Thomas-like trance.

I think it’s been pretty even with each team having runs

 

[NeelyOrr]

pastrnak on his ass more than his skates that period.

Do they make ass skates? At least, Pasty's been consistent.

 

[talkinaway]

Bruins were overall the better team by far throughout most of the first period, save for those last 4-5 minutes. PP, however, is still awful. Tomorrow, everyone needs to spend time on a PP unit to see if there’s some kind of new chemistry that can be cooked up, because this...this ain’t working.

In positive news, the Jeopardy! dude looks to be a lock if he didn’t do something dumb in Final Jeopardy, and the Sox are ahead, so.....

Honestly saw maybe 4 shifts that looked promising. All in the first 8 minutes. Then just all downhill. Let's see what kind of coach Cassidy is during intermission and if he can make adjustments.

 

[TCB]

1-0 Columbus.
25-8 the hits for Columbus.

No excuse for this.

At least finish your ****ing checks. Jesus Christ.

Bruins had the puck the majority of the period Columbus was chasing, their going to have more hits.

 

[Alicat]

find something inexpensive

Got that now just where to throw it without breaking something or putting a hole in the wall

 

[BAD BOY]

If you watched that period and your takeaway is Rask was the problem, remove your head directly from your ass and place it directly in an active volcano.

No. He’s not the problem. But that should’ve been stopped. If you get beat clean you get beat clean. He was off the angle. That’s all.

 

[22Brad Park]

Backes should be in and I stand by it.Dumb move sitting him vs this team.He would be battling Seth Jones hard.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

CBJ hits 24...B's 8.

This is how they beat Tampa

Much like I wish they'd call interference on Toronto I'd like to see a charging call on Columbus. It's the playoffs and obviously will not happen but the Bruins aren't designed to play a hitting game when two of the top hitters are scratched.

 

[Festy1986]

What do previous games have to do with anything

It only literally has everything to do with it all.

Lose enough of our previous games and we done.

The Bruins had an extra day off after a 7 game series last round leading into this and I expected them to have legitimate scoring chances and yet, they look like more of the same. They are not being outplayed but they certainly aren't shooting effectively

 

[Colt.45Orr]

CBJ hits 24...B's 8.

This is how they beat Tampa

We need to start drafting players that can play a heavy game without giving up 20pds on every hit.

 

[Sheppy]

The hits are there because the puck was on Boston’s sticks for most of the period.

Tough goal to give up but they’re playing a good game - just need to find the next gear

Thats a lazy excuse when it comes to hitting.

 

[JCRO]

You’ve gotta finish your chances. Story of this ****ing series thus far.

Jeez I feel like that brain fart of a power play was the turning point of the period. Bs were buzzing and imo it died after that dud of a PP

 

[Spokedb4life]

Cherry thinks goal was offside

 

[Fenway]

Grapes blames Clifton for the goal

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Same old. Team is dominating them. The difference is Marchand and Pasta too soft on the puck and a half step too slow and Bob just playing better than Rask. He made that same save on Coyle

Coyle's shot was a hell of a more difficult shot. Goaltending is the difference in this series. Not that Rask has been bad, BOB has been almost perfect with a dozen or so highlight reel saves. Amazing goaltending performance so far

 

[bp13]

it was a weak goal to give up..rask has to make that stop

Power play??? Bergeron with a half open net?? Pasta nowhere to be found???

Far bigger issues than Rask.

 

[Bruinaura]

Dear Bruins,

Plz win.

Thx.

 

[Jamison]

it was a weak goal to give up..rask has to make that stop

Rask looking average tonight. Not good enough.

 

[LucicIsABeast]

Far too many one and dones. They don't fight for rebounds, they dont fight through checks, they aren't screening the goalie. Bruce needs to lose his **** on them.

I could not agree more. Weak sticks, no physical play

 

[prizminferno]

Columbus is bad, please score a goal thanks

 

[TP]

I hate life

 

[Sheppy]

Bruins had the puck the majority of the period Columbus was chases, their going to have more hits.

Again, lazy excuse. The Bruins are pulling away, it’s legitimately happening in front of our eyes.

 

[GoBs]

a post shot and bergy point blank(shot to quick)..jackets with limited scoring chances but put 1 home that rask should have saved..frustrating.

Bergeron couldn’t put in the ocean right now

 

[rfournier103]

Someone needs to step up. There’s a serious lack of finish around the net. They’re getting some chances but these guys are too good to not get at least one.

I believe the late great Fred Cusick would say they’re “snakebit” around the net.
