Post-Game Talk: GAME 25 - THE BEAR is howling in the Rockies - BRUINS 4 Colorado 0

[RussellmaniaKW]

watching from the 5th row, takeaways from me tonight were:
Carlo was terrific. Calm & steady all night. So smooth for his size.
the 3rd line had a total mismatch tonight with all the AHL guys in the Avs lineup and obviously they feasted on it.
Marchand is such a pain in the ass and his motor never stops. he's like one of those crazy project sports cars where someone drops a V8 in a miata or something.

also, Callahan Burke is apparently a Boston kid who was making his NHL debut for the Avs tonight. Seemed like a good kid in his interview between periods. He had family in attendance. Saw him lose a battle to Bergy right in front of me and I can't even imagine how surreal that must be for that kid.

Good luck getting any Bruins coverage in Boston until playoffs If that.

This team is legit and a wagon

Solid win top to bottom. Hall line was totally dominant. Ullmark was sharp when he had to be (which wasn't often).
Only down moment of the night was that bad and somewhat embarrassing Nosek fight.

Another W!!

after a pretty lackluster first period the Bs just worn down Colorado

Hall was again the best player for the Bs.....determined dog with a bone tenacity plus speed and skill on the shortie. I had always wanted him here- and he is so much more than I hoped we would be getting.

Concur that Carlo had a good game, on D, as did Forbort. But what became more and more evident is the Bs depth up front ....especially the " third" line ...was the difference. And what I loved was up 4-0 they wanted the fifth goal...no coasting for this team.

And almost lost in the above... Linus posted a shut-out- again he was there to close the door when needed- and the Ball Arena got to experience the goalie hug.

lots of black and gold in the building and we left happy.

I looked at the positive. He stuck up for Pasta. Nosek not a fighter and it showed lol

I listened to the Avs broadcast. And Marc Moser, their play by play guy, basically said the same thing. That it's almost an honor for him to have his pocket picket by Patrice Bergeron. Funny

Besides the looks. She’s impressive with her questions.

I am so happy to wake up to a Bruins win and shutout for Linus! I was watching the 1st period and it was so boring, I actually fell asleep before it ended.....a first for me!

I don't care about how injured the Avs are, the Bruins have had their fair share of injuries over the years and it is a part of the game so suck it up like the B's have in the past. Keep on rolling Bruins, this is so much fun.

Moser is a good caller. Passionate about his team, but not overly biased and he does his homework about opponents. He's a fun listen when the Avs are up and about, as long as it's not against the Bs!

But, but but the Patriots are so exciting and talented and, and, and. ...the Sawx are so talented and exciting and, and, and. ...

Wow those are some nice looking goals...

No more embarrassing than the Avs total non response on McAvoy after yapping about it for a few days. After firing blanks in the shootout against Vegas, Monty should have them start in the penalty box and bust out of the gate Man O' War style like Taylor Hall did on the breakaway goal. No time for them or the goalie to think about it. Favorite subtle play of the night, always hear the saying "eliminate the man". Krejci does so without barely touching his man, two step to the inside and use the net to eliminate him and Pasta is waiting for the feast.

hall has been flying these past 5 games.
hope he keeps it up.
ullmark must be seeing beachballs out there. he looks so calm.

 

[pgm16]

Waking up to the Bruins & Celtics scores is soooo amazing !!!

Empty seats and Let's go Bruins chant in mile high.

Good game, well done.

Taylor Hall.

The change/improvement in Carlo's pivots from the first 10 games and now is incredible/frightening. Early on, he was losing his balance sometimes making the transition but now he's back to making quick, smooth pivots without wobbling or flying open for balance.

I don't know if the last concussion left him with a touch of vertigo, but if it did, that's a long time to deal with that crap. Head injuries are just ugly business.

 

[northeastern]

Third line took advantage of the hurting avs roster. They played well it's fun to watch

 

[sooshii]

Thanking the Maker for our continued good health. Whether it’s conditioning or luck, not something to take for granted.

Roll on B’s!

I like posts like this, gonna concentrate on that next game.

He ll probably tumble but anyway

This segment should be called "Monty's Musings".

VICTORY COOKIES!!!!

David Coyle regrets not being able to stay awake long enough to watch the game

Very happy for his namesakes helping the Bruins get on the scoreboard. DK has been rather quiet lately so here's hoping this is the start of a point streak for him.

Believes this is the first time Charlie has been named #1 Star- looks like he had a hell of a game. He's 100% healthy now & all that off season hard work is paying off big time. Bruins third line is causing major headaches for opponents- instead of shutting down 2 lines they have to try to shut down 3.

Loves Linus- he's on such a roll right now, he is a completely different goaltender than the one the Bruins first signed as a UFA. Props to Linus & Goalie Bob for putting in the work to bring out the best in him.

The goalie hug will never get old. Brings a smile to my face every time I see it & not just because it means the Bruins won.

Did I hear the goal horn briefly after Frederic's goal last night? I know there was a lot of black and gold in the crowd, but they were most definitely in Colorado.
