GDT: Game 31 | Boston@Nashville 8PM NESN 98.5

[22Brad Park]

Should have kept Benning and kicked Chia to curb.

 

[chizzler]

They need to win a few of these character games. Great effort. Great but a win is needed here. The keep putting in effort and the teams ahead of them keep pulling ahead in points.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Ugh... not really in the "good effort" mood tonight.

 

[Alicat]

Didn't we tie the game a minute later on two pure individual efforts by Marchand and Smith?

The point is that only a few weeks ago this team would have melted down after the 2nd goal. Guys stepped up and Smith and Marchand combined to tie the game.

If you want to be negative go right ahead but there were a lot of positives tonight.

 

[Budddy]

He let in 2 softies. And that Roy goal was god awful. Rinne was the better goalie tonight.

Same as the last two games.

2 softies????

 

[minpind]

clode's system should be a guideline in case the game gets out of hand.
"the system" seems bigger than the players now that the constant worry about playing to the system is why the games start to get away from them. i hope that came out the right way.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Good overall effort, but why in the world is Julien putting out Kelly & Campbell in OT, just mind boggling. While I'm in the complaining mood can someone please tell me why Julien keeps playing Fraser and Trotman, they are AHL players, Bartkowski and Morrow are far better then Trotman, as for Fraser, surely we have some one in Providence who deserves a chance.

I said earlier before the season even started after the Boychuk trade, a bad spell of injuries and this team is a bubble team for the playoffs, well here we are, a bubble team for the playoffs.

Yeah but you should see the participation ribbons Chiarelli's been working on.
They're the shiny kind!

 

[BruinDust]

Morrow keeps sitting, Bruins keep losing. But that Left-shot/Right-shot D-man set-up is working wonders obviously.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Ugh... not really in the "good effort" mood tonight.

I won't be until a move is made. I'm all for looking for the grey area in between. But a loss is a loss is a loss right now.

All suck.

2 wins in the last 10 games? Is that right?

 

[BadBruins]

Trotman????? I don't get it.

Thick. College guy. 7th round pick. Nearly 25 years old. Shoots the puck hard. Right shot. 2-3 years in Providence. What is not to like? Who cares that he's soft as butter and lacks NHL level hockey sense.

 

[catsmasher]

May least krecji is coming back.. Let's go get Taylor Hall and stop ff'n around !

[mich25]

My guess is the only thing the B's can really beat these days is their meatsticks...

 

[SmBoston]

Chara has been terrible since he came back. He was bad before he got injured.

Rask played well but Nashville goaltending was better. That's why they won.

You said Rask gave up two softies tonight, and got outplayed by the opposing goaltender the past three games... I think there is a lot more behind these losses than Rask.

 

[pastamania]

Fun little tidbit: the bruins have only scored more than 2 goals in a game twice this month.

 

[ThirdManIn]

Thanks for being kind to me, everyone!

 

[iGetCarried*]

2 softies????

screened on one goal. Softy.

Right...........

 

[catsmasher]

This team is so incredibly boring and soft. My God things have changed.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Thanks for being kind to me, everyone!

Shut up.

 

[patty59]

Lol ya no kidding. Guy was rolling 10 left handed forwards for a month to boot.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Shut up.

Just kidding TMI! You're welcome any time!

PS: I want Ryan Ellis on my Bruins.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

That shoot-out goal just angers me, Roy going in at super slow motion, nothing ever happens like that in a game, just despise the shoot-out.

 

[Hali33]

No.
Rask is a burden on this team and I won't stand for it.
