Post-Game Talk: Game 22 - The Bears does a Sabredance thanks to Tuukka - BRUINS 3 Buffalo 2 F

[caz16]

That first period was like a 20 minute power play for the Sabres....crazy. Thank you Tuukka, what a highlight reel save! The Sabres were desperate to win that game and have some really good players, so this is a nice two points to bank. Keep on rolling!

Played down to the level of the competition, but Rask stole the game.

Good win, either way.

I'm gonna give the Sabres some credit for taking it to the Bruins for most of that game. They outplayed and outskated the B's for the most part and the Bruins capitalized on their opportunities and you're 100% right, Rask stole that game

Chara still great on PK and defending against top lines. Who do you think should take his minutes?

our defense is good enough for him not to be playing 25 minutes against Buffalo

seen the B`s come out flat many times, haven`t seen them get absolutely dominated like that for 20 minutes though. Thankfully Tuukka was gold. 2 pts, move on to the next victim

Is it?

Chara +14
McAvoy +9
Grzeclyk +5
Clifton +4
Carlo +3
Krug -4

 

[sooshii]

also side note.. i feel like lindholm doesnt get much respect but that guy is always in the right spot defensively and shows 1 or 2 high skilled plays in the offensive zone. i think he was a good signing..
-and lastly , what are those hats that all the guys are wearing in post game interviews? can tell if its a tree/arrow/bruins related or just hockey related?

One of the best games I've ever seen from Rask. Stole 2 points for us.

The B’s didn’t have their A game. Fortunately, they had Tuukka Rask - The Boston Globe



In the first period, the first loud cheer from the TD Garden crowd was sarcastic.

The rest were in earnest, and Tuukka Rask earned the bulk of them.

Fighting back from a miserable first period and winning with what coach Bruce Cassidy called “our ‘B’ game,” the Bruins emerged with a 3-2 decision over the Sabres on Thursday night, holding off a hungry club that had two wins in the previous month.

But Rask stole the two points and the spotlight.

He made 36 saves on 38 shots, and his spectacular denial at 4:51 of the third will be replayed all season long.

Rask was already earning every dollar of his $7 million salary, helping the Bruins survive the first period tied at 1 despite a 17-4 shots disadvantage. The Bruins were playing so poorly, the TD Garden crowd let out a Bronx cheer when Brandon Carlo put their first puck on goal at 12:11 of the first.

“Superb,” Cassidy said of Rask. “He was our best player. We needed every save, obviously.”

I'm pretty sure if you look at the tiny fine print in the event summary you will see an assist given to HFBruins cookies.

Hold on there bud. Rask is good, but don't you know he never steals 2 points for the B's.

Im no hat collector, but my current b's hat is about ready to fall apart and want to replace it with something other than every hat you see out there. thanks again

Yeah, those assists were def on the softer side.

For as much as we get down on this team if they lose, the Bruins have been in 44 of the last 45 games they've played til the very end. They have 3 2-goal losses since Game 2 against Toronto, and all 3 of those 2-goal losses came with the other team scoring an empty netter at the end. They have 1 3-goal loss in the last 45 games. Unfortunately that was Game 7 against St. Louis...

Still though, of the 16 losses they've had during that span, 15 of them have been in reach. And that's while stomping the opposition by 3+ goals 15 times over that same stretch.

I've reached out to them about possibly taking them on a hunting/fishing trip in Northern Canada. That would be a blast with those two guys.

Ouch!
