Post-Game Talk: ECSF Game 2 - Lightning win 4-2 and the series is tied 1-1

[Dennis Bonvie]

Am I the only one excited about this game? Come on folks !!!! Shorts & Hockey

National Bueller Blow-Off Work Day

I did blow off work today.

I'm very excited about the Liverpool vs. Roma champions league semi-final this afternoon.

Bruins game should be a challenge, what with them facing Bolts, mean & ignorant Tampa fans, biased refs and conspiratorial league.

I'm also fascinated by every move Tuukka makes and how half of our posters will see them as completely different from the other half. I must admit, Rask seemed a lot better when watching on NESN what with Jack Edwards coming out of his seat on most saves.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

C`mon, your a veteran here, you know how we all roll, B`s lose it`s Donato/Czarnik time

I'd like to see Holden in there for Krug.

Wowso cant agree with you on this one at all or is that a level. lol

 

[Sheppy]

I'd like to see Holden in there for Krug.

Jesus... No.

Krug has 10 points in 9 games, which is 6 more than the next d-man. You don't take that kind of production out of the lineup, ever.

Bazinga!

Ouch. These suggestions after a loss....

 

[Riverfront]

I would like to see donato in for riley nash. Wingels in for acciari, and Holden in for McQuaid. Need more speed in the line up

 

[Killer B]

A lot of complaining about the Tampa posters, as though our posters are the only rational fans on these boards...

I think the more trollish fans in for any team come out after a win, but bunker down a bit after a loss.

I’m really concerned with Bergeron being tossed out of faceoff dot so frequently. I feel like it may have him rattled. What gives?

6 times he was kicked out in one game that being game 2.

I'm surprised its not getting more attention?

I posted on the main board thread essentially this: But don't teams communicate with the officials? (post game)?

You would think the bruins would be asking the officials for clarification on whats getting him tossed? I'd find it pretty hard to believe that if they were told specifically what the problem is, that a guy like Bergeron wouldn't make the corrections needed?

Tampa is a really good team. Bigger and faster than Boston and Toronto. Not sure what the bruins do here. I would try Houlden Donato / czarnik. We need more transition players. Too bad no spooner.

I'm not sure how anyone could watch this series and be pining for Ryan Spooner of all people

Spooner Just Right on the Right Wing

Ryan Spooner is a changed man this season

I still maintain giving up on Spooner was wrong decision. Not to mention all the assets. Hard to know for certain but I say Spooner plays better than Nash.

If there's one thing we know about Spooner, it's definitely that he shines in super physical games

Give it a rest

Yes much like Nash. Banger that guy is.

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

They can both be bad. Who knew?

 

[Kate08]

The agenda is strong here

 

[Blowfish]

Many of us saw a more engaged and physical Spooner this year. Read the articles I posted. Nash playing protective. I don’t see anything physical. Other than big body. Good for profit more jerseys I guess.

A hot dog is not a sandwich and I'll fight anyone who says it is.

Hopefully Cassidy plays Backes next game, I want to see what he can do against a physical team like Tampa.

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

Big decisions the next two nights.

If i work the Celtics game i get to watch the bruins tomorrow night from my own sofa. If i work the Bruins tomorrow I’ll probably double my money, and i can’t remember the last bruins loss i was in the building for. Friday is out of the question, can’t do it.

Chances are I’ll be up in 315 tomorrow night.

Not a tough call there, Charlie. Do your duty for the cause, comrade!
You can rest when you're dead.

We've seen what he can do against a physical team like Tampa.
Answer is: not much

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Nash61 has actually been physical at times, just needs to be more consistent with it. I didn’t think he was an issue the last couple of games on that line. For me, that goes on Krejci.

How is this even up for debate?
