BRUINS GDT EDF Game 1 - Fishsticks at BRUINS - Part II

[bwdrums1]

Just an observation, Patrick Sharp's head looks way too big for his body. He's a walking candy apple !

That period was 10x more exciting than I expected. Let's hope the Bruins keep skating and matching NYI's effort.

Carlo was the lone negative I thought.

Wow Jones giving Coyle props for not flopping to the ice. Might want to criticize certain other teams when they do. You'd think the refs would appreciate Boston's "play through it" mentality but apparently they don't.

Sloppy first but still looked like the far better team

Because they are. The Isles are not gonna throw anything at them that they haven‘t seen against the Caps. And they don‘t have their number anymore since the deadline either.

The Isles are tough and obviously not an easy out, but if you want to get by the likes of TB and COL, you gotta beat them.

So what exactly was the penalty on McAvoy? There was a dangerous scoring chance and a lot of people fell down, but I still can't tell what infraction he actually did.

it was a garbage call! Shouldn’t off been called. This is playoff hockey, not daddy daughter dance!

I was about ready to stew for 18 mins, thank you Pasta for that beauty! Clean up those turnovers and keep on truckin' boys!

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Says it all. The Bs, especially the top 2 lines, are actually getting inside and getting some good shots off from the slot, which normally against the Isles is the hard thing to do. So that's positive. But all the shots are going straight into Sorokin's chest. That's the part they need to improve. Still, better that than being stuck on the perimeter all the time.

I think they called hooking. Looked like a stick lift on a net front battle to me. Odd call in the playoffs when that happens dozens of times a game. Either way, teams are going to get some bad calls, so the PK will have to deal with things better than the shit Carlo pulled.

 

[Irish Bruin]

Sloppy first period and yet we are tied and look the most likely to be able to take it up a few gears. Room for optimism, I'd say.

Played defence.

 

[BMC]

Lauzon and Clifton were not good that period. They need to up their game.

Killer can't come back soon enough, Cliffy needs him.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Umm yah keep ^that^ going.

Not sure what the actual call was, but McAvoy took him out without the puck. Could have been interference or holding.

It was a penalty.

I think a little more "poise" in the offensive end will help. Like on Pasta's goal... held it an extra second, Sorokin slid too far, far side wide open. If they get 18 shots a period I'm liking their chances.

Overall that checks out completely except Beauvillier..he was electric for the Isles.

Yeah whatever Jones, we reject your compliment. Still want to kick you in the teeth!

Yeah strange.

 

[DiggityDog]

Sorokin has been good, big reason why the Bruins don’t have 1 or 2 more.

 

[albator71]

Discipline will be a major factor, we need to stay out of the box, cause the Isles aren't scoring many goals at even strength boys.

 

[MarbleMist]

Bruce and the boys are pretty good at making adjustments. I think we'll see cleaner breakouts in the 2nd.

WHOOOOOOOO. Huge to get that goal. Thought they dominated most of the period... but a few mistakes cost them. Take the momentum into the 2nd. LETS GGOOOOOO

Said before the series - Bruins will dominate 80% of the time. Only worries are that they press too hard and make mistakes as that's The Isle's game plan. The Bruins have to press - but they cannot get too far over their skates and cough it over trying to do too much as The Isle are a counter-attack team. They feed off turnovers.
