Post-Game Talk: GAME 26 - BRUINS 5 Arizona 3

[jgatie]

I think we are talking about two different things.

All I'm saying is I don't agree with the statements that a team is not as good as its record because they don't win the SC. It's no big deal just my opinion.

No opinion on that subjective nonsense. I was just commenting on the mathematical myth of the President's Trophy "Curse".

 

[lopey]

Absolutely not.

But I think he has more to offer .
But maybe I'm wrong.

No your right he does Offensive game and pp needs to be better

Is there a thread here (on Bruins board) to discuss the movements/trades/ etc of teams other than the Bruins? RHD Robert Bortuzzo was traded to the Isles from St. Louis yesterday. I find it interesting, and I'd like to have somewhere other than the Cap thread to post/discuss. I also don't want to open a new thread if there's one that this can go into.

As far as I know most trades and moves involving other teams are posted and discussed in the NHL Out Of Town threads.

debrusk playing like he wants out

Yea when you can only point to one or two good shifts he has per game (if that) and the rest he looks disinterested idk how else you can interpret that.

Who youtube thinks scored our 5th goal....

Denver Poock’s been playing some great hockey.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

All things being equal, the President's Trophy winner should win 1/16 of the time or 6.25% of the time. That's against all other teams in the playoffs. If you take non-playoff teams into consideration, it's 3.125%. I'll take 25% over those odds and make a fortune every time.



Not the point I was discussing. Not even close.

Only point that matters to me.

I feel like I was one of the few who actually liked Heinen first go around. He’s not gonna get in the middle of a scrum exactly, but he is gonna give you great situational awareness and versatility.

right now the game looks a little fast for lohrei defensively. Hes showed sparks offensively, but they should try to get him a full year in the AHL assuming the NHL roster has good relative health.

This. You can see his decision making a split second slow. He also needs to fill out.

missed the game due to the necessity to do all the shopping for Santa the lazy SOB, any idea how Zacha hurt himself?

I hate that Monty benched Poitras for the entire 3rd period. Beecher only got 2 non-PK shifts too and wasn't seen in the last 7 mins. I get the explanation and the rationale, but I don't like it. Yes Matt made a bad mistake in the 2nd, and perhaps wasn't having his best game overall, but he at least partially atoned for his error with that nice board battle win and feed to Heinen, and I thought after that he deserved to stay in the rotation and play out the game, especially with Zacha out. It seems particularly harsh too that you force the kid to take a game off, which in itself I think is fine, but then when he inevitably comes back a little rusty, you still punish him for it anyway. That to me is unfair.

The Bruins have had their struggles of late and the two guys the coach has singled out publicly the most are the two rookie forwards, who for sure have had their ups and downs but have not been the biggest problems with this team, not even close. Overall I like Monty as a coach but there are aspects of how he goes about things that annoy me.

Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery explained the reasoning for not playing Matthew Poitras in the third period against the Coyotes.

100% agree. The only thing I'll disagree with is liking Monty. The more I see of him the less I like him and he's my homeboy so it's not because I don't want to like him.

I did as well always was a responsible player

Well, I got my laptop back (after dumping a full iced tea on it).

I no longer see any avatars...not sure why.

I was (pretty much) done with him after the fiasco of coaching that he exhibited in the playoff of '23. Nothing short of a finals appearance in '24 will change my opinion. Either way, he'll probably be here for his full contract.

2 things I keep reading on here that don't make sense to me.

1:They're not be as good as your record

2: If it wasn't for their D and Goalies.

How can you not be as good as your record ?

Well yeah. Could add if it wasn't for their scoring lines and depth.

Maybe I'm just not qualified enough to understand the nuances of hockey.

In fairness they did a lot of winning against the bad teams (like they should have). My concern is that the D isn’t as much of a strength as we think.

Bergeron was a big big big part of the team D, especially against top players. They are just a much much much worse team between the blue lines than last year wether it is Bergeron’s ability to create turnovers and control possession or Krejci and Hall’s ability to get the puck from the D zone to the O zone.

I mean the team is in the bottom third when it comes to possession metrics. The goalies have bailed them out and that’s going to have to be part of the strategy until they can get some more guys with talent that can control the puck.
