Post-Game Talk: EDF Game 1 - Pasta Hat Trick - BRUINS 5 Fishsticks 2 F - B's lead series 1-0

[BRUINS since 1995]

And unnecessary given the 5-2 victory. Debrusk goes up, Frederic draws in.

How about Lauzon. 3rd pair is great now. Everyone on D can move the puck.

YEp I Agree in Boston. Not in Uniondale. Pasta will need to be protected there imo

I suppose you could always burn it in some sort of ritual ceremony or just wear it when cleaning the toilet.

No, use it to clean the toilet

I always think of Martin Lapointe when I read accolades of Patrice

Me too. Having Martin for a mentor really helped Patrice become the player he is today. Martin took a lot of unnecessary shit here because of that big contract though.

Just saw the JPP crosscheck and it was more awkward than malicious

After watching the game again today only one bad thing stuck with me...

The B's have to STOP taking 'too many men' penalties ...there's no excuse for them

If the Islanders score on that 3rd period PP it would've given them a 3-2 lead and the ending might've been different

I’d like to chalk it up to the fact that Smith was in the locker room and mistakes happen because of the juggling that happens when you’re down a man, but it happens too much when they’re working with a full roster for that to be the only reason.

Two guys get off, three guys go on.

One of those three has a hard time holding two thoughts at the same time.

He deserves a definite nod. A pro's pro. He was brought in to re-instil a hard-working winning culture that has been handed down and still exists today and helped Bergeron become the player we love. He's one of the guys I mention when talking about 'culture' being more important than 'talent'. You want both of course - but Team is more important. It's why I don't have an issue with veteran players.
Lapointe, Recchi, Iginla, Ference, Rolston, etc. - these guys might not bring everything to the table but they bring what young players and a Team need.

Bergeron, Krejci, Marchand and Rask are that now.

This is offtopic to the current Post Game thread but i've been thinking a lot about it. I don't think i mention it often enough but what a great group of guys we have, our leadership and basically anyone who joins our team and is good enough to stay and plays his role here or whatever immediately becomes part of this well established stream of proud and calm goodness...runs from top to bottom...and then Pasta ''i don't play hockey for money'' and so on...

We've been fortunate.

Agreed great room of guys. Remember when a ton of people on this board were saying losing krug and chara was a major hit to this teams leadership and locker room. Looks like it turned out to be just fine.

funniest thing was seeing 18k fans with no nasks then the national anthem singer singing with a mask on.lol.

Your obsession with chiding anyone who either chose or who is still required to wear a mask is pathetic.

Todd has to wear a mask per his employer.

You are required to wear a mask at the Garden unless you are eating or drinking.

If you think masks are a joke that is on you but keep your opinion and judgement of those who see it otherwise to yourself.

You are a f***ing clown

The only bummer when we were walking down the stairs at the Garden someone had fallen and split their head open...lots of blood. I hope who ever it is will be OK but it looked scary.

We saw him wrapped up in a neck brace being taken out. He was awake and talking thankfully. Hope he will be ok

Boy...happy for the guy!
Fun was in the Garden..loved it

Does anyone have an idea of what is ailing Smitty ?

No, as expected, they are tight-lipped.

Craig Smith's status for Game 2 unknown after suffering lower-body injury

Comparable imo. Imagine Leafs fan with the best NHL team most of the year and 5 straight SC championship! Imo there would not be any difference!

Yep that would not be good either.

Surprise, surprise. Pastrnak 24 year old super star scores hat trick in opening playoff game against the Islanders! Can the 'me knee-jerk angry fan, let's trade Pasta' people STFU now?!
