BRUINS GDT ECSF GAME 1 - BRUINS vs Tampa Bay - PART II

[Durnberg]

MacAvoy may have deflected 2 pucks in but he did a great job for the last 15 seconds of that game

 

[Oates2Neely]

Solid effort. Almost every Bruin played really well. Ritchie sucked. McAvoy Krejci Bergeron Coyle Marchand all played great. Kase too. Gotta think he nets one soon

 

[Gordoff]

5 wins, 11 to go!

 

[TP]

These are the days that I hate that I quit smoking

Same. I used to pace and chain smoke while watching the game through my window.

Good win Bruins! TB won’t be easy but that’s what makes them good. We hit an empty net earlier and everyone on this board is saved a load of heart palpitations!!!

Have a good night everyone!!!

 

[BruinsBtn]

Phew! Final score is not representative. Comprehensive win by Boston. Should have had a 4th goal and possibly even a 5th, but they got the job done. Outworked Tampa and played their way for the most part. Made a statement, especially to all those in the media etc. continuing underrating this team. Good start.

Agreed. There was really nothing did that caused the Bruins any real problems.

 

[JRull86]

He looked pretty bad all night

Chara still great on the PK, but he was poor 5v5 tonight for sure.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

TB going Philly on us with 2 flukes off of McAvoy, thank goodness we hung on. Hopefully we get some bounces like that in this series.

Same. I used to pace and chain smoke while watching the game through my window.

I call those the glory days lol. Love the screaming through the door at the tv days.

 

[Boston Bandit]

How good is Frank J. Selke Bergeron?

 

[McGarnagle]

MacAvoy may have deflected 2 pucks in but he did a great job for the last 15 seconds of that game

Agreed, things were getting out of hand until he smartly sealed off the puck against the wall to bring it down to at least 4 seconds before Tampa freed the puck again

 

[RHR37]

My favorite is hedman skating towards people like he would actually drop the mitts. That is exactly what is wrong with hockey these days.

Guys like hedman get to act like tough guys with 0 repercussions

 

[cat400]

Halak was outstanding tonight.

Took a couple of fortunate deflections to beat him.

 

[bruins4thecup65]

Good hard earned win. Everyone looked dialed in and ready to go .

Ritchie sucked.

 

[NeelyOrr]

two empty net misses....don't do this to me.... Congrats on a win! Tampa's best player is Charlie M.

Tonight he was Halak's biggest challenge.

 

[bbfan419]

Well we got the win and in the end that is all that really matters, but this was way closer than it should have been, don't want to give tampa any momentum for next game. The good news maybe is the Bruins learn not to sit back on the lead, when Claude coached the B's he drove me crazy with this sitting back and just playing D allowing the other team to take the play to you. Butch should be telling them go, go, go, tampa or any opponent can't score if you keep the puck in their end.

 

[nORRis8]

Chara was glaringly bad tonite. Seemed slow and indecisive

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Agreed. There was really nothing did that caused the Bruins any real problems.

Yep. And if that late 'comeback' gives the Bolts a false sense of security that they're closer to the Bs than they really were, then well and good.

 

[The National]

Good hard earned win. Everyone looked dialed in and ready to go .

Ritchie sucked.

He had some better shifts in the third. Hardly an issue out there.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Hedman is a great player

 

[BAD BOY]

It’s a great win. Enjoy it! Lot of work left. But if we can not make it interesting at the end that would be okay.

 

[BruinsBtn]

He had some better shifts in the third. Hardly an issue out there.

I don't like him but he did enough in the third to stay in the lineup

 

[NeelyOrr]

Chara scares the shit out of me going forward

How about when he goes in reverse?

 

[The National]

I don't like him but he did enough in the third to stay in the lineup

If their goons start running around we’ll be looking for him to be put back in the lineup. Just keep him in there he’ll get better.

 

[the negotiator]

Hedman is a beast

Z looked slow and indecisive

And the Bs still got the W
