Bruins are 1st in goals / game. They are 1st in PK .5th in goals against/ game. Scoring chances for % 18th and high danger scoring chances for % 13th.Corsi for % 10th.Powerplay 10th..Best I seen Bruins scoring goals in years.They are dangerous this season.
Many will slow the pace but if the tier of Coyle/Foligno/Zacha can maintain it, this record continues.
Certainly, and it justifies a response. This is why we all love hockey.
He just needs to be careful about being goaded into taking retaliation penalties.
And if Panarin had gotten up and smoked one of our defensemen, we'd be collectively shocked and horrified.
Be smart to give them days here there during tough stretch like say trip West in February as example..That's a hard flight on anyone let alone land and play hockey at his age.And I never looked at it close but bet that is 3 in 4 days
I'm eating crow on Nick to.Imagine how Leaf brass & fans feel watching him after paying a 1st rd pick
.Yup every team has a patch over 82 but if they can get healthy with their depth they can come out of it quicker then most I would imagine .Bruins goalies can steal games to but anyhow what a start glad I'm alive to see it.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but what has me amped and excited about this team is the WAY they’re playing. This is a style of hockey that I have never seen from the Bruins for any extended period of time. Ever. Like I said a few days ago, I’d rather see the Bruins carried out on their shield after a 7-6 loss than drop a 2-1 snoozefest. Losses happen, but at least I’ll feel like they COULD have won rather than wonder why they could muster only one stinking goal.
Obviously they won't all keep these paces but 97 point pace by lindholm is incredible and 37 goal pace by Coyle/52 point pace by Foligno also stood out.
Definitely would not consider that a cheap shot whatsoever. Bruce more than warranted the criticism the last few seasons and it was more than time to see him out. It was a largely painful product to watch in addition to his style of blaming others. I said it all too often here. I do agree with the first half of your post.
And causing damage he actually doesn’t look out of place playing that style
Totally agree Susan. The only time I put 98,5 (on) is when I'm driving. I don't want to pay for Satellite radio but I realize eventually I will. In the meantime, when I have absolutely nothing else to listen to, nobody that I feel like calling on the phone, I put it on and
I think the early exits in the playoffs lately was also a reason,now whether it was his fault or just the make up off the team is up for debate.
When you hear the rumors that Bergeron
had issues with his coaching style you knew it wasn’t going to end well for him. I think it was the calling out of players to the damn media. Keep it in the locker room. The media in Boston sucks this board knows more about hockey than they do. If Cassidy thought that was motivation he was obviously mistaken.I wasn't very happy with the hit to Pasta that started it. Nobody seems to have a problem with it but he went backward into the boards. THAT could've ended his night right there and then. No mercy, and no sympathy for Lindgren who's been abusing our stars i.e. Bergeron and Pasta since he was traded there. Live by the sword....
A big stick tap for the refs and linesmen last night. They called the obvious stuff and let a ton of minor stuff slide on both sides. I've become so used to micromanagment that there were quite a few instances last night that I was looking for an arm to go up, but they usually didn't. They let the players determine the outcome of the game. They also let the two fights happen without breaking them up early. Waited for the players to end things. I wish more games were reffed like the one last night. Makes for more entertaining hockey.
Cassidy liked to ride 'em into the ground. IMO he wore them out and by the end of the season, the top 6 would be pretty depleted. Great job so far by Monty.
