Yes . The revamped top 6 : Debrusk with Bergeron and Pasta with Krejci should balance things out . Bjork and Donato are so close to breaking through. It will come .

Habs lost 4-1. My night is complete.

Halak's save pct for the season is now at .947. Is that good? I'm thinking it is.

Video Review: BOS @ CAR - 9:57 of the Second Period

At 9:57 of the second period in the Bruins/Hurricanes game, the puck entered the Carolina net. After a conversation with the officials, the Referee informed the Situation Room that he blew his whistle to stop play before the puck crossed the goal line. The decision was made in accordance of Rule 31.2 which states, in part, that "the Referee may deem the play to be stopped slightly prior to the whistle actually being blown. The fact that the puck may come loose or cross the goal line prior to the sound of the whistle has no bearing if the Referee has ruled that the play had been stopped prior to this happening." This is not a reviewable play, therefore the Referee's call on the ice stands - no goal Boston.

But that's not what the referee said on the ice. He said the puck went off the official into the net which can't happen. Admittedly I did not see the play but I understand it went off him and off the Carolina player into the net which to me would constitute a goal. Anyone have a video replay on it?

Very good.

Remember when Halak said he was told it would be a competition for time in net? He seems to be winning.

Can we stop with this nonsense of Donato on PP1 unit? Last 3 games he had 4:09, 3:19 and 5:33 minutes coming to average 2:30 minutes per game of PP TOI. He has been beyond useless. Yea, I've heard he has a magic shot. The truth is I have seen it only once in the span of 11 games.

Krejci didn't have a good game. Couldn't connect with Pasta , was a step behind the play all time.

Krug was a bit rusty in his own end but he is a much better option on PP than Grzelcyk.

Acciari, Wagner are just dead weight. They bring nothing to this team. Send them down and bring up some kids to play.

I’ll give Donato this, because I bitched about it last game. He went to the net without the puck.

Of all the guys to do it, he was the one. Almost had a goal for it too. That’s a good sign.

Wagner is ok-ish. He can complete almost one full cycle rotation! Acciari ya. Acciari needs a new profession. I’d rather a guy like Winnik though if he’s being replaced. They don’t need another kid in this lineup right now.

 

[bruinmann77]

great signing by DS Halak has been great and Moore been solid. BTW glad they didn't move Carlo

 

[Whiskey Sam]

I went with Halak. If it weren't for him we would have lost 8-3.

Same here. Marchand came up big, but Halak kept them in the game and was just a bit more valuable tonight

I also liked what I saw from Donato in the Montreal game. Thing is, he was back to playing clueless hockey tonight. The kid absolutely is clueless in his own zone way too much of the time. I saw him standing around on multiple occasions not knowing what to do, then reacting to the play way too late. It's as if he's on a 2 second delay or something. His linemates end up doing the heavy lifting since Donato is of little to no help. It's not a huge deal now since the Bs are putting up points, however he needs to catch on quick or it will at some point bite the team in the butt. Same with Acciari. His lackluster play is not hurting the team at the moment, but having a player out there who contributes very little is not a good thing come crunch time. I'm hoping Donato can pull things together. He's new to the league and has really nice offensive skills. Acciari on the other hand is who he is. Probably has hit his ceiling. They need a better option to replace him.

 

[KrejciWinger]

I'd like to see someone who can finish on line 4. Hope a line of Senyshyn - Kuraly - Wagner isn't out of consideration. Pretty tiresome seeing both Acciari and Wagner in the lineup, not to mention Backes.

 

[TCB]

Love the look of the guys on the bench after the beauty of a goal by Marchand.

 

[Gordoff]

So the goal doesn't count because the whistle is "blown" (it's not)...

But why is the whistle allegedly blown in the first place....?

One of the strangest things I've seen personally.

It's called Bruins, it's called bias.

Lol I sometimes wonder if coaches just put too much in the heads of young guys. He’s a forward for god sakes.

Just keep it simple. On defence, go stand,facing mind you, on top of the opposing dman. Just stand there. He moves you move. Like a mirror. Mimic his arm movements and face twitches if it helps.

If we get the puck go to the wall. It’s offence time! You’ll like that.

No puck? Face dman. Have puck? Stand on wall.

If they f*** that up somehow show them the salary difference between holding a hockey stick or holding a broom. Should get their attention.

 

[Krupp]

Bruins Bias. I like it. It's got that alliterative ring to it....

I'm just glad they won. Win the games you can win!

Seriously though. At some point I pray nobody on that first line gets hurt. If one of them does, this team may be in trouble. Can't rely on just one line to score forever. Might be working right now but it won't remain that way

Glad to see (Or rather, hear from you guys) that Carlo's finally becoming the beast I was hoping/believing he'd become!

Carlo's defensive dominance is the biggest positive surprise to me this season. I would let him play out the season alongside Chara to fully develop that part of his game even when McAvoy gets back. Every team tries to find a Chara's clone as a sheer dominant force. So far none of them came close as Chara in his prime was a very unique combination of size and skill. If Carlo could take away some level of Chara's work ethic and fully develop his defensive part of the game I think the offensive part would follow afterwards.

 

[Estlin]

It sounds like Boston's one-line team did it again. That's just not sustainable.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

Yes . The revamped top 6 : Debrusk with Bergeron and Pasta with Krejci should balance things out . Bjork and Donato are so close to breaking through. It will come .

Bjork I can see. What makes you think Donato is close to breaking out?

 

[Crash Bandicoot]

Let me see if I can channel Captian Obvious words here: Thank goodness for powerplays because this team needs work on its 5-5 and scoring depth. Halak 44 shots .995. Is there a still an argument on who is the #1 goalie? Sweeney ought to be burning up the trade lines with Rask wrapped around the hook. It's time for the Rask era to be over with.

I doubt Sweeney makes a trade one month into the season after the unexpected season they had last year.

Halak is performing like Tim Thomas out there.

We had the thread about resigning McAvoy long term, add Carlo to that list.

McAvoy 6 years- 40mill
Carlo 6 years- 25mill

Get it done!
