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

[KrejciMVP]

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

I think hes JAG depth for sure. id like to see another player get a shot. Kuhlman has little to no ceiling where we cant get a look at a prospect

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Dream scenario that would only happen in an alternate reality: Cassidy puts Senyshyn in for Game 5, he strips Barzal of the puck, races up the ice and snipes one top corner. All is right with the world.

Lol, but you always wake up.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

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

I hope you enjoy it!

 

[LyndonByers]

If the Bs lose in these playoffs I point the finger directly at The Bs management. You have a core group, acquired by previous regimes, of Bergeron, Marchand, Pastrnak, Rask and Krejci who have carried this team for years and are still expected to carry this team.

The current management drafted a stud in McAvoy but have failed miserably in surrounding the above core group with an influx of at least a couple of young skilled players who could have really took this team to another level.

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?

Kuhlman had the same NHL output this year as Studnicka who could potentially reach his ceiling at any time. I'm ready for a change in the bottom six no matter what.

As stated before, the playoffs are no time to look at prospects.

I agree but they’d prefer someone that they know what they’re gonna get, even if it’s JAG depth play, it’s more controllable in a playoff game.

 

[KrejciMVP]

or AHL players like Kuhlman in top 9 while the Islanders have Palmeri, Pageau and Zajac as their 3rd line. what a gift for NY.

 

[b in vancouver]

the ref made pasta miss an open net.

That felt like the killer last night. It happens. It sucks but is what it is. That would've been the game. Frustrating sequence.
The Isle got energy afterwards.

 

[BMC]

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

Good thing otherwise it could have been 8-9 to 1. Bruins basically wasted a great performance by him

Fans wanting Kuhlman in the line up is very concerning . If any of your starting 12 is playing so poorly that Kuhlman is a suitable replacement. WOW

ive been told there is so much more to hockey than scoring goals in the playoffs. hence Kuhlman on the 3rd line while they send out Palmeri

 

[KillerMillerTime]

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.

McAvoy/Gryz only 2 D men dressed on Boston last night that would dress on NYI last night. I would take P2, Leddy and Mayfield easily.
over Reilly, Clifton and Lauzon.

The Bruins have what the Bruins have. They can't acquire anyone different now.

The Isles have the better forward depth. Bruins have better top end talent. Tough to have both in a Cap league.

Well given NYI are out Lee and Wahlstrom what does
it say about their F depth vs B's?

 

[NDiesel]

They have Leo Komarov on their top line so let's not act like they dont have holes too.

Well our defense is seeing a ton more pressure on the forecheck than theirs, they had all day back there.

Injuries are a bitch.

[RussellmaniaKW]

if Ritchie Coyle and Debrusk were playing anywhere near their potential then we match up much better against them. unfortunately Those guys look like they'd rather be anywhere else on most shifts so you gotta do something. Kuhlman is not ideal but at least he plays like he wants to be there and will actually use his speed unlike Debrusk who looks like a Ferrari losing a drag race to a prius most of the time

I dont believe a JAG with 6 career goals is the only option the Bruins have in their organization.

 

[Orr Fourever]

Still flying.. isn't it beautiful?

Give me a better option.

The reason Kuhlman has been sent to minors frequently ? Poor hockey minds that do not understand the great hockey player he is ??????????
