Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 2 - Old-Time Hockey - Where were the Hanson Brothers??? - Series tied 1-1

[Gonzothe7thDman]

HFboards Bruins fans:
“We’re getting pushed around! We need some size!”
Team adds Brazzeau, Maroon:
“They’re so slow!”

You realize that a forum is made up of a bunch of individuals right? Its not a hive mind. So unless you are pointing out specific posters who have flip flopped, this kind of statement is pointless.

 

[TD Charlie]

Charlie I'm definitely older than you. I'm not mad at you in fact most of the time I agree with your point of view.

You don't ever have to apologize for existing to anyone. You be you and f*** 'em if they don't like it.

Been there, done that, won't ever do it again.

I’m sensationalizing it. Kinda.

Much love and respect for you always Beemer!

Not to mention they can be both big and slow. That’s a real thing. I’m also allowed to acknowledge Brazeau for being both big and slow, particularly if the slowness is more of a factor than the bigness

 

[Bruinfanatic]

What happened is, starting (mainly) with the 2nd period, the Panthers started camping out in our zone, (as if it was a power play) for a minute or more at a time then we would eventually dump it out and they would come back in IMMEDIATELY. No matter how great your goaltending is you can't allow that pattern to occur and still win.

The question is, who/what was to blame? We're too slow? Their better passing? A defensive breakdown? Some combination of all that? I'm not sure but we CAN'T let them to set up in our end consistently or we're doomed.

(oh yeah, and tell Mac to get the hell OUT of Swayman's way)

Leafs changed their game plan after game 4 the same way ,got away from the wide open playing ,and it almost won them the series. I fear Florida has done the same thing to their game plan after the first game and first period last night. I guess we will find out tomorrow if that’s the case or not. If it is Bruins are going to have their hands full and the second period last night might be the norm the rest of the series. Because they are more better equipped to play that style than the Leafs were. They will get more shots through and have much more traffic in front of Swayman.

It’s a general observation that some posters don’t seem to want to acknowledge that, generally speaking, large players are not the swiftest of foot. Players that bring size, snarl and speed are rare as hen’s teeth.

No I don’t take names and I don’t have a dataset of stated opinions to cross reference. But I’ve been on this board a long time and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if some of the people calling for more beef are the same people complaining about their relative lack of speed.

Brazeau didn’t look slow on his goal in game 1.

 

[xStanleyCupsFor]

Let’s not give up on McAvoy just yet . He can turn it around and have a good series , we need him and we need Peeke back . Any updates on Peeke ?

Yep, not giving up on Mac. He's going to have a great game I think.

 

[Roll 4 Lines]

Why do I always feel like anyone older than me is mad at me, or that I have to apologize for existing? Surely this cannot just be me

There’s only one person on this forum I don’t want to disappoint and we all know who it is, and that unfortunately I still manage to do it all the time. IRL, I walk an extremely straight line. Yes sir, thank you Ms, I’m sorry I’ll do better, yes of course I can do that. Etc etc

For one thing, you type things such as IRL, and then us olde guise have to Google it to find out what the heck it means!!!!!!!

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Once he gets going he’s fine kind of like Lucic ,Maroon not so much

So your observation is some fans wanted bigger players inserted into the lineup, and then other fans weren't happy how it made the team slower?

I'd say yea thats how a forum works. Nothing eye roll worthy from that

 

[UncleRico]

I’m not really worried about last night. Happy we are 1-1 going back to Boston.

One thing I’m actually really annoyed with is the consistent dumb penalties like too many men on the ice.

It’s a very bad, careless penalty to have reoccurring. It’s a lack of focus. 5 in 9 games.

 

[Bodit9]

In the old days, a line brawl would start before the puck was dropped for Game 3

I would not be shocked if that happens on Friday

No way the NHL allows that to happen. The league is run by morons who actively go against fans' wishes. They will instruct the refs to drop the hammer on everything. The league sucks.

 

[KrejciMVP]

NHL will have the whistles out early next game to prevent any escalations. Best way to beat FL is the get the offense going and Swayman to frustrate FL. Not looking to settle scores in a pivotal game 3

fair but there better be some physical response to Tkachuk being a toolbox, he`ll turtle of course if it`s Maroon but..

 

[Bodit9]

Yea but it's time others get involved here.You see a Tarasenko vulnerable u nail him u don't skate past that opportunity.

Don't pass up any hits but don't take yourself out of the play to make a hit either. Tkachuk, Barkov, Reinhart, Verhaege, all the D, pound them.

f*** that. From puck drop respond immediately. Then it's over. That's how it goes.

The NHL also shot themselves in the foot when they gave Maroon the boot for literally nothing. Everything happened once they gave the Bruins physical players the boot. Everything.

 

[Bmessy]

We've been out "scoring chanced" in both games by a large margin. Florida had 60% of the chances in game 1 and 70% in game two. That's unsustainable.
It's cool we didn't turtle, we got bitch slapped in a loss and pastrnak ate some punches. Woohoo. We have dignity. Now maybe figure out how to break the puck out

Easy to out chance your opponent when you shoot the puck from everywhere.

Their gameplan worked on a tired D-corps in the 2nd period with the two quick penalties and McAvoy going back and forth the dressing room. A tired D plays right into their gameplan. The Bruins as a team were gassed and Florida's break and lack of travel provided them a distinct advantage the further they got into Game 2.

Hopefully the Bruins can find a way to refresh mentally and physically before Game 3.

 

[Forester65]

We need to come out in game 3 with a vicious forecheck that gives their D trouble. Also get in front of Bob so he can't see our shots.

Exactly my feelings on the game I really don’t care much about the crap after the game outcome wasn’t in question,figure out how to get the puck,out of your own end ,stop taking boneheaded penalties especially the to many men on the ice it’s to the point of being pathetic and an embarrassment.Twenty minutes of Hockey against Florida will result in 3 more outcomes like last night .

 

[goldenblack]

Lauko is made for this type series. Monty better get him in there

It's not clear to me that Lauko is made for the NHL

 

[lextune]

Maroon makes smart plays with the puck at least. The problem is he can't get to the puck very often.

A scoring chance is defined based on quality. A point shot isn't a scoring chance
