Post-Game Talk: Game 1 EDSF - Washington 3 BRUINS 2 F OT - Caps lead series 1-0
- Thread starter Fenway
- Start date
Phil Esposito has to show up for practice and teach BRUINS forwards how to put in rebounds.
"Jesus saves, but Esposito scores on the rebound."

No matter who plays for the Caps tomorrow, the Bs have a more talented top 6 and a better goalie. The Caps won game 1 because they were the hungrier dogs. All hands need to be on deck to make a deep playoff run. That message hasn't reached a few Bruins.

Only way that happens is if Rask lets in 4-5. Just a normal loss and they won't do that.
Crazy the drama from people on 2-3 tipped goals and OT. Every caps goal was a fluke play at one end or the other.
If we hit the net a bit more we aren't having this discussion. Our guys need to shoot and try to be a bit less fancy. Get pucks to the net.
Thank God DK is practicing. I was afraid after the Ovechkin hit he wouldn't be able to practice/play

Interesting similarities in the Penguins game
1- Crosby with a statement opening shift
2-Isle too respectful of Penguins speed and backing off allowing Penguins puck control
3- Isles have a 2 on 1 and don't get a shot
one big difference- Isles scored first , and Pens tie it up while I'm typing this

God did that piss me right off. Ovechkin should have been hit continuously after that. Instead they did nothing. Lauzon was the only one who stood up to #8 all game long. People were bitching about the penalty he took but IMO his was a necessary penalty.

It's inexcusable, at least to me. 2011 Bruins all stood up for each other
Honestly the performance of the entire team was a disgrace. Despite the Craps being down to a mediocre 40 year old goaltender the Bruins could not score on him. Wrap your heads around that one. Then again Anderson didn't need to work too hard because his team was pushing the Bruins around all over the place.
This team has had issues with opponents' physicality & their own relative lack of it in addition to their tendencies to overplay, overpass and undershoot for some time now. None of these issues have been fixed and by that I mean permanently eliminated. Is the coaching staff not doing its job or are the players not listening?? Or is it both? Inquiring minds want to know.

Thought they played scared in the first. They never got it going all game. Think it’s time to rake Pasta off the first PP unit, he just turns it over almost every time he handles it. They need to make Anderson’s life a lot more difficult or we’re done in 6. 40 foot open shots are not getting it done!
On to a must win game 2.

Wasn't it Backes who got inserted in G2 after losing G1 versus the Leafs and said in the post-game "We needed to play with some hate to win"?

It’s hard watching coyle struggle for this prolonged amount of time. Loved the way he used to play as a grinder and puck possession monster. He’s a shell of his former self. He honestly might have been the worst player on the ice last night. Constantly turning the puck over and losing battles. Just hard to see.

I’ll take a half dozen “fluke, tipped, lucky, weird, never happen in a zillion years, bad ice, thru the goalies pads” goals as long as Boston wins the bleeping game and series.

Just spitballing here, but the Bruins had a bad (especially considering the opponent) loss in BUF just over 21 days ago. I wonder if anything could make them temporarily pfeel tired or give them shoulder soreness 21 days apart for a couple of days....
There was literally 8-10 seconds left. Carlo's only thought s/b who is behind me. Terrible DM by Carlo. His D partner was in position and he wasn't.

Yes, Rask is the first goalie ever to storm off after an OT goal. Absolute non story.

Razor n Jaffe made sense this morning imo Coyle needs to centre the third with Debrusk on his wing, Kuraly to the fourth. Only change needed. Who cares what players these knuckle draggin, hand bitin, dirt bags get back for next game.
Bring the nasty, get pucks on net and it will all click. If not and they do lose by a heavy margin, I would throw in Frederic, Tinordi and swayman.
Bruins 4-1 next game
