Post-Game Talk: GAME 26 - For the first time in 122 MONTHS the Bruins have lost to the Coyotes

[HumBucker]

Very much a mish-mash of reasons for that loss. Some deserved, some not.

- Missed trip in final seconds.
- Whether it should have been icing or not, play to the whistle. Every pro should know that.
- Two clear breakaways by skilled players, no goals
- Not sharp to start, scored against in the first 23 seconds
- Their goalie played great

Move on

We lost. So what. Going to lose a few more games before the season is over. Their goalie stood on his head, ours didn’t. Next game please.

The majority wanted Swayman in net last year me included. I could not stand Linus and his rebound control. This year different goalie playing unbelievable. I think we should just let Swayman work it out and stop jumping to conclusions. He’s a good goalie got hurt and is in a slump. Someone said they wanted Vlader back I’ll pass on that.

Well I have watched Vladar and he looks pretty good. His average is 2.59 and save % of 912. Swayman is at 2.80 and .887.

You can pass if you want but the stats do not lie.

 

[Mione134]

Is Swayman the whipping boy of the season? We've been so good this year that we never had one.

Sway will be fine, folks.

 

[CDJ]

0.0% concerned about Swayman, he stays up

 

[ProdigalFan]

There's lots of film out now of the Bruins' new system of play and opposing teams are taking advantage of it. Lazy plays, "slow" starts and poor passing will cause turnovers and goals against. Hopefully this game will teach them that waiting for the last ten minutes of the game won't always work to their advantage. I'm not asking for 60 minutes of all out play every game, but they have to bear down and give a crap about their execution for at least several stretches during each period. Those two breakaways? Lazy shots into the goalie's chest when the goalie is having a stellar night? The inability to bring the puck into the zone on a PP and keep it there long enough to get a shot?

They've gotten used to winning fairly easily, and I hope they're not listening to the media touting the "best team in the league" garbage. Yeah, they are for the moment. I know we have games in hand, but we're at 43, as is NJ, Vegas with 41 and Toronto with 40. Our home record is superior but all of those teams have better away records.

I hope we have better luck at the dot this time against Vegas. Bruce knows all our guys' tendencies.

Apparently all it takes is a couple games where the opposing goalie has 'one of those nights' where he stops almost everything and/or everything is shot or deflected into him and they lose by a goal and then put the blame on the Bruins goalie.
Should have known better.

 

[GoBs]

Kinkaid is not a veteran, dude.... he has experience but wasn't developed here, hence your oddball post...... what advantage does it send to anyone in the organization...... right now, Kinkaid is playing, but he hasn't been, so what's the advantage of a rehab assignment

Almost 170 NHL games he is a veteran
He wasn’t developed here but what difference does that make
I think Swayman should stay with the big club

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Haha kinkaid isn't a veteran in the NHL?

I would obviously keep Swayman up with the big club, it's just head scratching calling a goalie that's played 5000+ minutes in the NHL not a veteran.

.887 save% does it for me.

Lol I know, in my defense I never said his stats were good!

 

[Gordoff]

Ive been to the mullett arena. It is small, yes, but loud! and the parking and traffic is a piece of cake. you can have boston

Yeah, and you can f***ing have the "Mullett."

 

[NeelyOrr]

With almost 50 shots on goal, one would expect that some of those shots would be redirected. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't even see one deflected shot towards the net.
Arizona, otoh, had 16 shots on goal and one was deflected and went in the net.

"Last play was not icing"

"Last play was not icing"

Why?

Puck went through the crease.

Forbert was playing he screwed up

[Bruinswillwin77]

Move Freddy up to 2C? Just to see if anything clicks or bad idea? (If Krejci is out)

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Puck went through the crease.

Might want to get an updated rule book on that crease thing

Has the rule changed?

Zacha to center, Foligno to the left wing. Greer to 4th line LW.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

its the nhl.
they change the rules mid season sometimes.
my beef with the play was that swayman shouldve just passed it to forbort.
why do all that for an ozone faceoff with 13 seconds left.

Agreed.

Brickley and Jack seemed to think it was icing if the puck went through the crease.

 

[Gee Wally]

Agreed.

the rule was changed I read somewhere here or main board. So yep even if through crease its icing.

but….. the reason for the waive off was, as told b Bruins, the Linesman determined that Forbort could have reached it first.

The issue there was the very last second. Fraction of a second.

I personally dont have an issue with Swayman on the decision. By very indication it was icing. By not touching it the puck would go back to AZ end with 15 ticks on the clock.

But on to Vegas.

The replay shows the ref not even looking at Forbort

Did the linesman think Forbort could have reached it because he thought Forbort was someone else?
