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

[sarge88]

My mom's funeral was yesterday thus I missed half the game
However unwound and watched the end of the 2nd, poured a snort of whiskey and Zoom watched with a buddy rotating between our game and the Habs/Leafs game.

Honestly...Pasta could have had six goals in the period and a half I watched if not for an leg or stick in the way of a shot.
Holding on to the puck freezing the goalie then he let go the wrister...such a goal scorers goal.Getting more dangerous game by game.

In the poll I said we wrap this up in 5.

Watching the Habs taking the Leafs to game 7....sweet to watch.
Sportsnet bias is funny to watch....in between periods they showed some of Prices great saves but they termed them as great leaf scoring chances.Huh?!
All I saw was a goalie standing on his head.

On to game 2 to which we will win as well.

So sorry for your loss.

 

[Coach Parker]

Love our win on top of a leafs lose.

told my buddy who’s a habs fan I would buy a Montreal
Jersey to shut up leaf fans at work.... don’t judge me guys. But who should I get on the back?!

Price. Then burn it after the beat the Leafs right in front of him.

I had been debating that the second Isles goal from almost the blue line wasn't Tuukka's fault. I feel that Lauzon should have fallen to block the shot and because he didn't but pulled out late, he prevented Tuukka from finding the puck because Lauzon blocked Rask's view. Most all that expressed an opinion disagreed with me.

In the coach's press conference Cassidy said he fell Rask's own people blocked out his view on that goal in question.

Case closed.

Very Enjoyable game for a home game #1. Exactly what was expected and needed.

C'mon Monday.

Go Bruins

Tough to tell from the camera angles but if I had to guess it looks more like Ritchie screened tuukka and not Lauzon. Just from the position of tuukka to pelech, it appears Lauzon is more off to the left. Still hard to tell but here are a couple angles.

Fishies GDT called us buttplugs.
They need one after the diarrhea the boys made of their team last night.

 

[Gordoff]

Thank you. He's said it quite a few times. He said it before the game too but more explicitly that he plays "for the fans." He's a great character.

 

[hrdpuk]

Hall splitting between the two D to drive the net for a screen/rebound was a thing of beauty. Heady play that showed grit, hustle, and hockey IQ.

Exactly . He has hockey IQ among the best I've ever seen along with speed and an accurate shot .
Impressive player to say the least

My condolences to you and yours. May she Rest In Peace.

 

[Ladyfan]

I'd answer you all but this is easier ....thanks all for the kind words. It's appreciated.

We only get one mom one dad. Dad passed in 03. The were both exemplary in marriage, hard working (Saskatchewan farmers) and made life enjoyable for us.
As they grew older we tried to repay them best we could.
That's what one should do.
She kept her faith to the end.
She'll be greatly missed.

Thanks again.

But enough of my groveling... Go Bruins.

His defensive responsibility surprises me. My brother and I said last night "I don't think Taylor Hall even knew what a backcheck was until he came to Boston". He's like Savvy, reputation for not playing any D gets flipped on its head when he dons the Spoked B.

 

[Gordoff]

"You keep it Pasta, I'm goin' for a DRIVE!' Taylor Hall

Bruins are becoming a juggernaut!

 

[smithformeragent]

I’m pumped about going tomorrow!

The soon to be Mrs. SFA is at the camp today visiting her aunt and uncle.

I made a giant poster board ticket to surprise her when she gets home tonight!!

Hmmm, the "classy Isles fans" that some here were admiring. I expect that there won't be much love lost by the end of this series.

 

[Ivo]

It is strange because some of the Leaf fans here are annoying but in my 19 years as a STH the best visiting fans at the Garden are the Toronto fans. Also my daughter and I went to a game there in 2014 (in Dec after the Bs won that game 7 in a comeback) and the people there were cool. It is a nice city.

There is often a very big difference between how people act online and in real life. The one time I’ve been to Toronto, people were super nice.

Well done on the logo drawings! I always used to screw up the spoked B as a kid

Have fun, be extra loud!

There are too many damn lines.

I used to love to draw when I was a kid.

I’d draw cartoon characters, video game characters, and athletes.

Mario, Link, Sonic the Hedghog, Drew Bledsoe, and Arturs Irbe were my most commonly drawn items haha.

To be fair, in our thread we did call them a hated moniker that we stole from their Manhattan based arch rivals. And then there's this:



So we probably deserve a little ribbing.

 

[Cronuss]

Put Kuraly on the 2nd line to replace Smith and put Freddie in on the 4th line.

 

[trenton1]

It looked like a Bruins powerplay at 5v5. Men vs boys.

Bergeron not winning the Selke every year that he is healthy is total bullshit. There is no one consistently on his level. Some get there for stretches (O'Reilly, Barkov, Kopitar, etc.) but he is consistently incredible at the 200 foot game.

I have an active, burning contempt for any voter that wants to spread that award around to different names. That's little league kid stuff.

Bergeron is the best two-way player ever, IMO.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Put Kuraly on the 2nd line to replace Smith and put Freddie in on the 4th line.

Kuraly doesn’t belong anywhere other than the fourth line.

 

[trenton1]

He gets lots of crap for his quirkiness and probably rightfully so but he definitely knows hockey. Probably a little too much about where guys played Midget.

I like Pierre. He has his cringy moments, but he loves the game and knows it very well.

Aw, they're just jealous is all, they remember when Trottier was their Bergy, Bossy their Pasta, Potvin their homeboy McAvoy and Billy Smith their Marchand minus the pads.

 

[trenton1]

Bergy is unreal man. Maybe he isn’t as flashy as the bigger names like Crosby but there’s no one else I’d rather have. He’s dominant.

If I found the fountain of youth and could only give it to one person, I’d give it to him without a doubt so we could watch him for another 15 years

I love this. Yes.

Bergeron is unbelievable. We are so lucky to have this guy. I really want to see him raise another Cup.

 

[MarbleMist]

I browsed their post-game thread and they're pretty reasonable. They just have one bad egg, who happens to be the GDT creator

 

[MarbleMist]

I like Pierre. He has his cringy moments, but he loves the game and knows it very well.

I liked it when he said the B's fans partying in the post-fourth goal intermission was a 'celebration of life'. He harbors plenty of fondness towards the B's.
