Post-Game Talk: GAME 11 - Les Bruins pondent un œuf de brontosaure à la maison - Poutineville 3 BRUINS 0 F

[Terrier]

Last year being an exception, the B's have customarily fallen flat in this early season visit by Montreal, enough so that I wagered on the Habs tonight.

the offense sucks.
and rask put them in the hole with his daily softy.
they need to send some guys down and give cehlarik a try with krejci.

 

[Wooren]

I really don't get all the massive negativity. The Habs only had about 3 minutes of sustained pressure the entire game and about three scoring chances. All this considering we are missing three of our top 6 defenseman. Price made several great saves. It wasn't really that bad people.

At the end of the day nobody asks how was the perfomace. A loss is a loss, especially when you play against crap team at home.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Is Winnik still playing hockey, heck even Stemp would give a better effort. If no goals were scored it would still go into a shoot out, so there is that

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Rask was fine. The 1 line strategy is bunk

Don't be a stooge.

Rask was far from fine.

 

[Gordoff]

Price > Rask, every time they play each other

Yes so is Halak >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rask.

 

[Fenian24]

Giving up on kids with less than 100 games under their belt...sounds like a great plan

Then again were the group that complains that we trade young talented players and never let the kids play, but then complain about the kids when the do play and are not superstars from day 1.

Compete level isnt learning the pro game, it's a character failure.

Didn’t seem like the Bergeron line worked at all. Like they didn’t fight for pucks. Big negative for me.

Team no show on a Saturday against our rivals. This one is on Coaching + Goaltending. Halak for president, Cassidy needs to talk to his team about compete and rising to the task. Rask shouldn’t play until Halak starts to slip.

The worst part was our d structure tonight was really good...

Great points on everything.

Bergy line just didn't seem to fight for those loose pucks. The way they should of. Its almost as if things are going so good, they feel like all they need to do is, lace up their skates to be successful.

Cassidy not doubt should of made sure this team was fired up. Its the freak-en Montreal Canadiens! Enough said!

Rask not playing until Halak slips might too much to ask though, but I see no problem with playing him 2 out of every 3 games.

Rask doesn't deserve the number one spot. Halak is out playing him by a wide margin, right now. I wouldn't miss Rask demeanor he exhibits after a goal is scored along with that Body language that says it was somebody's else fault, he was scored on. .....Oh ya and I wont miss those softies he seems let in way to often......

 

[TwineTickler]

Rask was fine. The 1 line strategy is bunk

Rask gave up two, which is fine... but he didn't look great, he gave up the first goal which was soft and that can't happen. However, they definitely need some changes. They need a RW to drive line 2, or they need a 3C, but really a 2C to drive that line and bump Krejci down to the 3rd. Also, they need their D healthy.... but yea, far from just Rask. I expect a fairly major trade within the next month to address some issues

 

[KrejciMVP]

Don't be a stooge.

Rask was far from fine.

Ok but 0 goals isnt on him

 

[bruinmann77]

Did you see the first goal

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Only positive was Donato...best game this year. I don't know but Rask is really starting to p me off.

He was the only forward that doesn’t seem to be afraid to get his nose dirty

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Did you see the first goal

Seemed to suck the life out of them didn’t it.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Yes so is Halak >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rask.

I stated Rask vs Price, seems we usually come out on the losing end, unless I missed the last decade

 

[Zillah]

Our transition from defence to offence tonight was terrible . Almost to be expected when McAvoy, Krug and Miller are out of the lineup. You can only pull off miracles with a Band-Aid defence for so long. Hopefully at least Krug and Mac are back next week

 

[The don godfather]

Rask krug senyshyn and JFK for nolan Patrick. Make it happen. Rask has to go and his value is going down each day.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Looks like we need Krug after all, we miss him lugging it out and supporting the lines up the ice, no other dee can do that

 

[Gee Wally]

Seemed to suck the life out of them didn’t it.

Yeah......but even in f***ing bantam you get over it with 2 1/2 periods to play and play

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Oh it's one game, we have injuries and are far from a complete team. Points are always at a premium but I'm not too worried. Gryz is certainly not the Krug replacement some claim that's for sure.

 

[Absurdity]

 

[BBB24]

Rask lost this game and really needs to do something to get his head in his job.

The Bruins as a whole were an embarrassing pile of **** tonight too. Boring, terrible game.

Once we have a few NHL defensemen that may help but we still have 1.3 NHL scoring lines.

Lol, Rask gives up two goals, gets ZERO GOAL SUPPORT and people still want to blame him for the game. Missing 50% of your starting d corps is the main reason, zero transition and PP has no one to replace Krug. Let’s move on and remember it is a long season.

 

[BBB24]

Cassidy is starting to sound like Julien, throwing guys under the bus. He spot picking, guess I will wait for him to say something negative about Bergy or Chara, their game was far from brilliant tonight.

 

[Pia8988]

Yeah......but even in ****ing bantam you get over it with 2 1/2 periods to play and play

For a team to have such great leadership, if they give up over something like that, the leadership really isn't all the great.

 

[duffy]

Probably, however Price's contract is godawful. Rask's is bad too, but Price's one is albatross

Prices contract is only bad if you are trying to trade him! Which they are not because he is their Bergeron. This was a typical Clode game , get a lead and sit on it and hope for a win, which you have a better chance with Price than you would with a goalie you can score on from the corner and who kills your PP by screwing with the puck then taking a penalty! I have said for 5 years that Rask handling the puck is a glorious scoring chance for the for the opposition, and the coach doesn't stop him from doing it or at least hiring a goalie coach to teach him how to handle it.
You just can't imagine how disheartening it is for a team when your goalie continues to let in soft goals and at the worst possible time. If I were Cassidy, Halak would not come out of the net till he crapped the bed or you have back to back games.
