Sometimes the difference between watching the game live and on TV is vast.

Being there tonight, I never felt the Isles had a chance to win. Even after tying it up with the SHG.

At the end of the second period my 14 year old nephew said to me……how are the Islanders outshooting them?

They haven’t done anything!

Felt like the B’s we’re in control from the puck drop.

 

[TD Charlie]

I have no complaints

I felt this way watching it on tv too. The shorty was a gaff that perhaps made it seem closer than it was, but the Bruins dominated and most of their chances were not that dangerous. They are like a bad less talented version of the Bruins and the result is what it should be.

bring on the next one.

Jvr is very important to out fortunes in terms or scoring production. He's dangerous no matter where what line you slot him. So solid.

Continues to surprise me, and the look on his face is telling me he has regained his love for hockey being away from Philly.

 

[mar2kbos]

To me, it's only spoiled if it translates into Stanley Cups

..and then I'd say it's a great feeling to be spoiled

Yeah it’s like the ruined perfect Pats season when they lost to the Giants in the SuperBowl. It hurt to be so good and not finish it off. I guess at least the Pats can say they got to the big game. Last season left such a sour taste in my mouth that while happy with the success I want to really see a better playoff run

 

[Tbaybruin]

Mrs Gordoff would like to know how you made the spoon stand up!?! I said "maybe he stuck it in a meatball." Seriously though, diet Ocean Spray Cocktail?

FYI. your the best!

I've had my share of disappointments in sports over many years, being a Dallas Cowboys fan for close to 50 years and a Bruins fan for close to 60

I don't always remember the successful regular seasons, but I sure as hell always remember the Championships

It hurts even MORE when the teams have such a great season, but fizzle out in the playoffs, because of my higher expectations (last year's Bruins).....that hurt A LOT

 

[bobbyorr04]

bring on the next one.

The next one is a trip to Toiletseatville Saturday night

 

[Tbaybruin]

Sounds like a future thread?!?!

I still can’t wear a sweater to this day

I can't get myself to make a good comparison, football and hockey are so different.

 

[Tbaybruin]

The Bruins missed a great opportunity for a fan giveaway

I will take a 2024 Bruins Stanley cup gravy Duck boat

Absolutely.

He looks reinvigorated. Juices are flowing now. He genuinely seems happy to be here.

I would not say bad, but I think the talent levels are close. They have totally different styles though. We freewheel and they play rope a dope and counterattack.

None of this is true

Their success really is in their structure. Every person does their job, that’s why even when they don’t play well they are still winning or always in a game. It’s very disciplined hockey. All that is missing is an attitude needed for the playoffs, hopefully Lucic and JVR help supply that. If they can get that mentality along with the dedication to the structure they could go far.

The system that has been in place since Claude Julian's tenure has been very successful for, again, at least 15 years.

Responsible, ingrained structure leads to success. It becomes habit. Good habit.

Looch was right tonight when speaking with Jack and Brick; certain players on this team can find another gear. I believe that.

They're still going to have to fight for every inch of ice because as talented as they remain, with the new kids, the blend of older players, and Brad's leadership, it's still going to be something of a task, yes?

Throughout the season into the playoffs, Boston must embrace what they have, what they don't, and who they are.

As silly as it sounds, team chemistry, playing for one another, supporting one another, and sticking up for one another, is a vital key to success in any team sport. Especially hockey.

I look forward to the rebirth of Bruins DNA.

Yeah, baby.

Claude the legend. Love that guy.

 

[GordonHowe]

Claude the legend. Love that guy.

Absolutely. Totally underrated, especially in this town.

Don't know what you got until it's gone.

 

[hrdpuk]

Nice, thank you

 

[Gordoff]

FYI. your the best!

HAHA Thank you sir (check's in the mail)! Ooops I was supposed to PM that comment to you.

 

[Gordoff]

Absolutely. Totally underrated, especially in this town.

Don't know what you got until it's gone.

That's what my ex-wife, the billionaire stripper taught me.

 

[Gordoff]

Here's a question for all of you astute Bruins followers:
Where were they after game13 last year?

Yeah, baby.

I buy everything but Looch's assessment that some players can go to another level. I think only Pasta and McAvoy have that ability. (Maybe, Marchy for very short periods.) The rest of them are known quantity's for better or worse. Talent and track record is the DNA in which I believe. I believe very much in maintaining a winning culture, but I do not believe in this great glorious Bruins' toughness as DNA nearly a much as you. The game is evolving in other directions and the Bruins have been known to try and substitute mental and physical toughness for talent when push has come to shove.

Btw, it is spelled Julien. You strike me as a very smart guy, I am surprised you spell it that way so often.

 

[The don godfather]

This is grind out game trench stuff. I see Coyle thriving more as the game continues. Let's go!

It Coyle wants he can become a 70 point guy. Hes got the tools and his puck possession is best in league I say. Hopefully more scoring to come from big bad Coyle.

 

[mar2kbos]

Here's a question for all of you astute Bruins followers:

They talked about it pregame, right on the same level as last season give a few tweaks to goals for and against and last year one more loss than this year. Overall very similar
