Post-Game Talk: GAME 31 - WINNING UGLY - BRUINS 7 Sunrise Kittens 3

[PB37]

I am not about to get into a large debate on his play . I will simply say there are some gaping flaws to his game. He does some other things well. Calling Gryz the whipping boy I strongly disagree with. When an NHL coach would prefer two forwards and one D in a 4 on 3 PK as to sending Gryz out there??? Speaks volumes . I fell calling Gryz a very sheltered player is a fair statement .

They went 2 forwards/1 Dman because they had a dman coming out of the box seconds after the faceoff. They didn't want to go 1 forward/3 dmen out on the ice.

But let's for a second roll with this idea of yours: Using your logic, that wouldn't be an indictment on just Grz, because there's more than just 1 defenseman on the team. Does that speak volumes about the other D as well? Can you see how dumb this opinion of yours is? You're letting your Grz hate blind you.

No but but I can see how dumb your opinion is if you want to create a name calling situation. Check how much time Gryz spends killing Penalties per game . One dman stayed on the ice for the full 2 mins and the second for most of the 2mins only to be replaced by a forward. Except that Gryz has limited capabilities and has to be sheltered . If not he gets exposed . . It is not my eyes that need to be opened

There’s a difference between playing a bad game here and there and just playing bad.

Grzelcyk is a good defenseman. He’s a whipping boy for the size reason.

I don’t know about that
But let’s agree he is better in the regular season than playoffs

Bruins made it to Game 7 with Grzelcyk in the lineup for most of the playoffs.

Hall has been a prime example of a player buying into a system/culture. Been a treat to watch

Who are the defensemen that get used on the powerplay on a regular basis?

An ugly win will ALWAYS be better than an undeserving loss

For sure, and considering the shit show refs the last time they played, we'll call it even.

This sequence of saves won the game for them

He had several sequences where I was getting Thomas vibes, Comical that he was not one of the three stars last night. Ullmark is so dialed in. Putting on a goalie clinic most every start.

Do you not understand why signalling just Grz out for the Bruins going with two forwards on an expiring 4-3 penalty kill is a bad take when there was a dman coming out of the box? It had nothing to do with Grz as a dman, it had everything to do with having 2 forwards/2 dmen out on the ice once play resumed instead of having 1 forward/3 dmen. 80 percent of your posts find some way to complain about Grz or talk about trading him.

I don't know; Carlo could go on a goal scoring tear. I'm here all week.

He is on a tear.....

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

He is on a tear.....

If he doesn't touch the puck in the offensive zone for the rest of the year I can live with this memory

At college, I had 3 posters on my wall. Under the Orr one, I wrote The Good, under the Sanderson one, I wrote The Bad, and under the Esposito one, I wrote The Ugly. Sorry, Phil.

I saw your Moody Blues reference in the GDT. It was closed before I could reply. I imagine it left a few readers wondering what the heck.

Got to see the Moodies 3 times in concert. OMG, they were so awesome. That mellotron, played by Mike Pender, simply filled the auditorium.

 

[ap3lovr]

Yep...we were on our feet!

One of the best glove saves I have ever seen. Through traffic, reminded me of Roy with the arm whip.

 

[burstnbloom]

Wait, isn't 48 Gryz ?
He was hammered in the GDT, by many, for coughing the puck up in the D zone all night long.
Amazing how one fan see's black, and another fan sees white.

They must have meant 28, who was on the ice for all 3 goals in 3 consecutive of his shifts, was on the ice for TWENTY ONE shot attempts against at even strength and has been on the ice for 8 of the last 11 goals surrendered.

he's 6'4 though

That depends on the team we are playing and who he is paired with

My wife was minus 3 for the game as well. I've always said that she was a Broons jinx. I DVR'd the game and watched it this morning when I got up. It was 4-0 when she emerged from our bedroom ready for her walk with her BFF. Florida promptly scored 3 goals and I reminded her of the jinx. Shortly after she left, da Broons scored to make it 5-3. After I finished the game, I texted her: With Lisa in the room Florida 3-0; with Lisa out of the room, Boston 7-0.

Who was on the ice with him for those 3 goals?

I am impressed that you have gone through over 2600 post to determine that 80% of mine are negative towards Gryz. As a Bruin fan that would like to see ,the Bruins win another cup. I will always look at options that I feel could help in that quest,. An improvement on D for the playoffs would certainly help. I have no problem saying. Gryz is not a player I am confident in having in the top 4 and hopping to win 16 playoff games
