Post-Game Talk: GAME 33 - B's get sabrered - Buffalo 4 BRUINS 2 - On to Poutineville

[22Brad Park]

That's cool. We have another budding superstar in Dahlin who might even be better than Eichel. Who do you have for him?

Its gonna be a long 10 years for the Bruins...

He better start eating .

 

[Bruinaura]

For what it's worth...

Cassidy busted up the top line for parts of the second and third periods. Brad Marchand, who has been sick, did not have his best stuff. So Cassidy pulled Marchand off the No. 1 line and replaced him with Joakim Nordstrom. It was a move Cassidy thought he had to make, especially with Buffalo’s top threesome of Jeff Skinner (two goals), Jack Eichel (two goals, two assists), and Sam Reinhart (three assists) shredding every shift they took.
“I didn’t think Krech’s line had anything early on,” Cassidy said. “Marshy’s under the weather, so I expected him to be a little bit off. It just didn’t look like it was going to be a good matchup against Eichel. Turns out none of our matchups were. His line clearly had their way with whoever we put out there. Ended up being the difference in the game.”

Patrice Bergeron could be back very soon, and that would...

You better start praying

Yea right..Bruins shut you out this year already in your own barn.If you had injuries Bruins playing through you be out of it a month ago.

 

[Fenway]

I can’t fathom after playing only 33 games that the Bruins are in SERIOUS trouble but it’s not looking good so far but lots of time to turn things around .

They need 5 points in the next 4 games before the break and that will be a challenge.

 

[KrejciMVP]

I guess i look at his career? Then i factor in his injury?

Are we limited only judging him on last 2 weeks?

I think his analysis is mostly based on laundry. I'd take Weber in a second

Actually I think it's looking good. To achieve what they have achieved with all the injuries they have had is remarkable IMO. Sadly , even when full healthy, I don't think it's enough to beat the top teams without any additions.

U better get some rest if you got be up at 4 for flights.

Bergeron comes back next weekend and the Bruins beat Nashville and Carolina with Bergeron leading the way . I can dream can’t I ?

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Eichel is a great player and you guys have a great future but let’s see Eichel do that going head to head against Bergeron .

 

[JOKER 192]

All we really need to do is get healthy

Marchand/Bergy/Pasta
DeBrusk/ Krejci/ Heinen
Donato/JFK/Backes
Nordy/Kuraly/ Wagner

MacAvoy/Chara
Carlo/Krug
Miller/Grizz

Tuukka/ Halak

This is a playoff team no doubt. The healthy part however is doubtful.

 

[22Brad Park]

Maybe Bruins should suck like Sabres have forever and see if we can get few top picks I guess.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

We were playing our 10th and 11th defenseman after playing our 3rd game in 4 nights and after a shootout the night before...why did we skate you out of the building in the last half of the 3rd period?

Go back to your own board before you get banned.

Is it as good as last year’s team ? I think it is and I liked last year’s team . I just don’t think the Tampa Bay series was a 5 game cakewalk . It sounds like sour grapes but horrid officiating influenced games 2 and 4 . The officiating didn’t give the Bruins a chance to gain a second wind . Not suggesting the Bruins are now better than Tampa but nothing has gone there way so far . Surely the Bruins will have a much better 2nd half .

 

[22Brad Park]

Or maybe you should trade a bag of pucks for a dude who is gonna score 55 goals this year like we did for Skinner...

Hope he gets 60 .Drive price and years up on yas for new contract .

Holy moly.Even Sabres fans trying get at us .

So win a game in December. Job well done!

If you meet the Bruins in the playoffs Bruins win it in 5 walking away.

You had a chance to see some of our AHL team tonight. When we are back at full health and strength your team is not going to have a chance... and that includes the playoffs.

 

[sabremike]

Thought you guys didn't play bad but just got destroyed by a guy playing out of his mind in Jack. Still think when all your guys come back you will end up 3rd and do everyone in hockey a favor by making the Leafs one and done yet again. Also would like to ask the guy trolling in this thread to stop. Trolling a visiting board isn't cool, we're better than that.

 

[missingchicklet]

Holy moly.Even Sabres fans trying get at us .

Was going to say "act like you've been there before." Then I realized they've never been there before.

 

[JOKER 192]

And by the years end , you haven't won a cup, Skinner is UFA, what now? Do you know what the going rate for a 55 goal scorer is?

 

[Marcobruin]

Actually, that line was probably the best for Boston tonight. I find it humorous that Heinen gets singled out, when not only did he have several good chances, he also set Donato up several times, who didn’t finish. In addition, Donato gives a freaking lame effort on a penalty shot attempt. Yet, I don’t see anyone including him in every trade proposal that comes down the pike

It’s a problem when two rookies and a second year guy are the team’s best line in a game. Marchand and Pasta were MIA again and Pasta had a number of bad turnovers. When a team is missing two Top 6 F’s, you need secondary scoring, but you also need your best players to be your best players.

They weren’t.

They are the best players not Gods. You can't expect them to dominate every single game. No player(s) does. Every player makes mistakes even the great ones . Your onus is on the wrong part . They are the reason why we aren't in the cellar .

Jack usually steps it up at TD Garden.
