Post-Game Talk: EDF Game 4 - Back to Boston with the series tied at 2

[RussellmaniaKW]

one of Ritchie or Debrusk needs to sit. The question is do you sit both? or do you slightly more conservative and sit only 1? and if only 1 then which one?

I want to sit Debrusk, but am probably naive enough to think there's some sliver of hope that JDB-Coyle-Kuhlman at least has a prayer at chipping in some offense. Though Ritchie-Coyle-Kuhlman did have a goal in that one game.

If you sit both then I'd do:
Kuraly-Coyle-Kuhlman
Frederic-Lazar-Wagner

still a couple of offensive black hole lines but at least Freddy will move his feet and the 3rd line will actually win races to pucks for once.

fake Don Sweeney stealing my ideas

 

[Blowfish]

the ref made pasta miss an open net.

Ha ... exactly. I can't ever remember being frustrated with Refs. I see them no different than a broken stick that gets in the way of a play or bad ice. Part of the game.

 

[The National]

Why the hell not? What have you got to lose? After all it worked just fine when Craig Berube did it.

Jesus Christ Bruce.

It’s embarrassing and he went on to somewhat do it after this quote ironically..

 

[Spooner st]

Butch, Pasta is not, and I repeat is not, the BRUINS' best player. He is probably their 5th best player.

Why so generous, let's face it. Pasta is the isles best player, Period.

People, we are tied. For all the ball washing everyone is giving the Islanders and their Stupid looking coach it took two miracle plays for them to win two games. Luck is great coaching? They survive on luck.

Bruins are not losing two of the next three to that shit team. We had a bad night, get over it.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

He could replace all three of that line with Black aces, it would be an upgrade

All 3 of those guys suck

 

[The National]

No shit Bruce.

 

[Blowfish]

Yes!!!!

 

[Oates2Neely]

On a positive note, Tuukka was locked in right from puck drop.

 

[Oates2Neely]

This team really needs a Chris Kelly right now

 

[KrejciMVP]

still amazes me how Kuhlman and his 6 career goals are still on a playoff NHL roster, Meanwhile a bunch of prospects sit. does Kuhlman have a lifetime contract to provide never-ending mediocrity?

Agreed. The Islanders are playing their game, but they don’t have another gear. What you see is their top level. The Bruins on the other hand certainly are capable of more. Hall Krejci feel like they’re due, Pastrnak will be looking for redemption. Have to think we get a goal or two from bottom 6 soon. Bruins still win this series.

I don’t think they’re expecting goals from Kuhlman. A relentless fore checker who can create some turnovers sounds great right now.

huge pass from me. I just dont get how hes in the league still with the Bruins.

There's more to the game than scoring, and currently both Debrusk and Ritchie aren't bringing anything. At the very least you know Kuhlman will bring speed, good forechecking and will not cost you with poor turnovers and lack of effort like the other two corpses on the wing.

As for the prospects sitting I'd be surprised if combined they have 6 career goals, although I feel like Steen would be a great playoff performer.

Honestly, Kuhlman is no worse than anyone one of the bottom six. Says a lot more about Freddy and Studs that they don't think they are capable of playing over Kuhlman. Good job Donny

And Bruce knows what to expect from him, nothing scares a coach more than unpredictability, especially in the playoffs.

I dont get his presence on a playoff roster, but thats me i guess.

You're just kidding yourself.

 

[KrejciMVP]

My point exactly

ya those kuhlman apologists truly know the game more than anyone else lol

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

You're just kidding yourself.

Ok good, now I can go on with my day.

Kuhlman provides depth for a team that is (still) short of actual right wingers.

The bad gambler's lament.
