I like Jake on the 4th line . Very dangerous player sitting there who can pop a important goal.
I’m not convinced the Bruins have a better top 6 . I’d like to believe that but they looked outmatched last night .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.
outmatched physicallyI’m not convinced the Bruins have a better top 6 . I’d like to believe that but they looked outmatched last night .
Kampfer said this week that they won’t get their 2nd shots til after the first round.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....
I cannot dispute that. I was referring more to talent. But winning games also involves effort and being physical. If all of the Bs top 6 guys can show those two things then they will prevail. If not, then adios.I’m not convinced the Bruins have a better top 6 . I’d like to believe that but they looked outmatched last night .
To add, if Coyle really isn’t working out at center after a game or two maybe consider moving Lazar up?JDB should be moved up and Kuraly down.
For defense, I know Reilly didn’t have the best game but I honestly didn’t love Lauzons game either. There was some good nasty, but he also got burnt in transition a few times. Idk if I take him out yet but I wouldn’t mind seeing some Tinordi
Yes, Rask is the first goalie ever to storm off after an OT goal. Absolute non story.
A potential series with the Caps was the first thing that popped into my mind as a reason I liked the move when DS brought Tinordi in. He has looked good in the games he has played, and it's not like he has cost the Bs a bunch of goals when he has been in the lineup. I don't think he is the best option against all teams in the playoffs, but against the Caps for sure I want his strength and big body in the lineup. Matchups matter in the playoffs.JDB should be moved up and Kuraly down.

Lazar is a keeper. Agree with Frederic in for WagnerI don't see much of a difference between the two.

He'd better figure this out because unlike 2019, this years Stanley Cup goes through Washington, Tampa and the best of the rest. If Cassidy can't snap the whip and find the right buttons to push after the significant TDL work that Sweeney did all eyes will turn to him.This is a large enough sample to suggest this playoff trend will remain a constant. Cassidy can do nothing and Cpt a sinking ship, or make a move.
He was good but I thought he should’ve had the OT goal. Some agree some don’t.As mentioned yesterday I did not see the game yesterday.
How was Tuukka?
Did he keep us in this one?
