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

[DNE3]

Boston's team skating and passing are subpar. Can't win consistently without the basics.

Funny thing people say Rinne was better tonight by a small margin, as if that is somehow an insult to Rask. Pekka Rinne is the second best Finnish goalie right after Tuukka Rask (as was proven last olympics), but he's playing absolutely stellar this year and is the solid front runner for the Vezina.

Bruins don't win a lot of games if they can't score. There's nothing else to it. This just isn't a very good team. The system can only get you so far when you don't have much talent, and the talent that you do have is either in the AHL or subdued to play a dump and chase grinder game.

Darling 6'6'' 232
Lehner 6'4'' 223
Rinne 6'5'' 204

Plus huge equipment on everyone of them. The Bruins don't have the skill to handle this, 60 % of the skill has been let go or traded.

 

[22Brad Park]

Things look grim.Gonna take couple of years to fix this .

 

[ThirdManIn]

Shut up.

Eliis has been a damn beast since about halfway through last season. It's so nice to finally see.

 

[SmBoston]

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

Well don't! Lets run him out of Boston

See, now I'm just going to hang out in here until I hit 45k posts

Rask out dualed again. When is he going to steal us one!?!? Also that goal by Roy was terrible. Need to make that stop.

Another loss. How's our record since Zee came back 0-3? I guess its because we are missing krejci right?

This team blows.

Why do you even bother?

 

[Absurdity]

Thanks for being kind to me, everyone!

Good game. No problem, stop by any time

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

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.

True but I don't think anyone could have predicted the severity of the injuries we sustained,not to excuse the Boychuck trade(it was a dumb one )but surely the Hockey Gods won't be as cruel to us in the second half.

 

[BBB24]

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.

Lol Rinne, Rask with 42 saves total, man some people. Hopefully soon some won't be able to take it a more and just leave for the rest of the season, do us all a favour. Life isn't always full of sunshine, sometimes it rais, even pours.

I thought he was taking forever... **** man, he's only 23!

I think he's gonna be monster.

A Krejci and a Horton/Iginla ,we need two forwards to be capable of competing against good teams.I know we got a point and played decent but I hate the state this team is in now.

We did compete against a good team tonight. In fact we almost beat them.

Do I agree we need a winger? Yes. But this team has had the misfortune of some impactful and untimely injuries and some really bad luck. This is not a bad team. We're going through a bad stretch. It happens to all teams.

Know what my favorite part of this board is? Posting in the GDTs when the Bruins are winning. There usually about 10-15 of us posting and it's really fun. The second they are tied or give up a goal, the vultures come swooping in to pick everything apart. (That was not directed at you BTW - general blanket statement).

This team needs either dk to come back 100% and put everyone on his shoulders or a move to shake it up

Stop by anytime. Maybe I will see you at a game some day in Boston or Nashville.

 

[iGetCarried*]

Sucks we lost! Wasted Kelly's 2nd point in 20 games.

 

[ThirdManIn]

Good game. No problem, stop by any time

I don't typically hang out in the opponent's GDT, but I like the group you guys have here. No quarter given, but generally pretty fair. I've bandwaggoned with the B's for a couple of playoff runs over the past few years.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Thanks for being kind to me, everyone!

No problem, as long as you don't secretly cheer for the habs.

 

[Emerz]

I was surprised to see we're only 22nd in goals/game, I find it hard to believe teams cant score more then us.

Buffalo with 1.78 goals/game and they're only 5 points behind us and we have a game in hand.

 

[SpeedyLazaro]

how about both?

If we lower our standards to Chiarelli level, yes we competed tonight.


We need a lot of help. We need an Iginla replacement, a Boychuk replacement, and a Kelly upgrade on the 3rd line to bump him down to the 4th line and Campbell out of Boston. Just as we did months ago.

 

[Johnmbs1962]

Sucks we lost! Wasted Kelly's 2nd point in 20 games.

Hope they remembered to save the puck.....

 

[EverettMike]

Yay! They tried! Kinda.

Chris Kelly sucks.
Gregory Campbell sucks.
Loui Eriksson is a ghost, who also sucks.
I'm......I'm losing it.

What it needs it always trades away.Goal scorers.You cannot fix Stupid.

 

[ThirdManIn]

The Habs have never done anything to directly piss me off, but I still hate them. To be honest, I have no idea why, but I'm OK with it.
