Too many missed chances.
Bruins very good when scoring first and bad when allowing the first goal. That Marchand wiffed shot in the first could have given the team a 1-0 lead.
Gutsy comeback from 0-2 and 1-3 but that 3-4 goal was an awful one to give by Halak.
Glorious miss by JFK in the last two minutes to make it 4-4.
Sad ending.
Bring on Buffalo.

The team is doing all we can ask them to do right now with the injury situation. Get 4 points against the Sabres and Habs and hope Chara and Bergeron are back after Xmas.

I agree
Sweeney will get something done
I'm hoping it will be Simmonds...but unfortunately it could end up being a cheapie like Grabner or Stempniak lol
Stempniak practicing but rested for the 2nd half .... sadly would be better than the situation is now
Without a doubt the worst sports show in Canada...lame attempt at humour too...haven't watched it in forever...

If Senyshyn pops 20... call him up
He has scored one like every game these days it seems
Same guys screaming for Cave for a month for tearing up Providence now want him out? Did Wagner really have 9 shots?

The effort was there tonight but sucks that they weren't rewarded for that effort. Including "frustrating" in the PGT title is fitting. Sometimes they would have a ton of puck possession and outplay the Pens but couldn't generate scoring chances. Sometimes they would generate scoring chances but couldn't finish, and sometimes they were a tipped puck or skate blade away from scoring. I can't fault the boys tonight. Sometimes it's just not your night.
A few of sidenotes:
1) Sometimes I take Krejci for granted. He really is a wiz with the puck. When he has 2 good players on his wings it really shows. He also impressed me with one particular move that he pulled off. He came down the left side and cut to the front of the net but his shot was saved. He showed speed and strength that caught me (and maybe the Pitt D) off guard just to get to the net.
2) I'm super happy for Carlo. I have liked the kid since day 1 and it was great to see that huge smile after he scored. You could tell it meant something to him.
3) The practice jerseys that the Pens wore tonight are gawdawful.

If ever there was a team that deserved at least one point in a game and didn't get it it was that team tonight
I missed due to work.
They said on the Sports Hub that the Bruins took their foot off the gas when it was 3-3.
Any truth to this? If so, why? This team at present has no business putting it in cruise control against ANYONE.
Hopefully the Pats can do better on Sunday.

I like didn't have a terrible game per se but just didn't come up with the big say when they needed it. For those saying the fourth goal was bad I originally thought it was too but when you look at the replay it completely change Direction. Very little chance on that one

Krejci in his last 5GP = 3G / 5A / 1.6 PGP
Krejci in his first 27GP = 2G / 17A / 0.6 PGP
^I wonder what changed
ive followed his career... hes always been very streaky. its one of the reasons he frustrates some people here
I mean this guy led the playoffs in scoring... he isn't exactly crap
but if you want to summarize his entire career in the last 5 games that's your business. ive seen a decade of hockey as have most people here including the ownership and management of the team and we know who this guy is
honestly... I think I saw riley nash play 5 games with pastrnak and marchand last year and put up 8 points too. id have to check the game log to be sure, but even just going off my memory it seems like it happened
im happy for krecji that maybe some of the boo birds get off his case... but hes been streaky his entire career and is a 30 year old hockey player now. he isn't going to all of a sudden become something different. props to him for stepping up in this time of need but when someone is paid 7+ mill a season theres a certain responsibility on him to generate offense on a line and not just ride the coattails of our 2 best players the same way riley nash did

I agree that those guys are bad but these 2 goofs are much much worse:

if hes hungry and putting out 149% effort I guess he can show a pulse on a line... but when he gets too comfortable and is only putting out 125% effort he sort of sucks.
its too bad... I like to cheer these types of players. I wanted to be the biggest nevin markwart and jay Henderson fan of all time... but I eventually had to accept that they sucked. and accairi is headed in that same direction

The slow start killed them . If the Bruins are healthy they win this game . Pittsburgh doesn’t scare me at all , I would love for the Bruins to meet them in the playoffs. Halak wasn’t the reason they lost and made some good saves but overall I thought he was average . It might be time to run with Rask for awhile after the upcoming back to back .
