Post-Game Talk: GAME 36 HEE HAW - BRUINS 5 Nashville 2 FINAL

[BRUINS since 1995]

I've read your post three times now and I still have no clue what you're trying to say

I think he is DK agent....

Getting lost in the great return by Bergeron ,was the play of McAvoy, two more assist, got robbed of a goal and him and Grizz, were outstanding together.

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

Marchand Bergeron Heinen
DeBrusk Krejci Pasta

Would love to give these lines a few weeks to see how they perform

I thought both lines played well. Rinne was excellent.

DK was robe on a spectacular move crossing the crease.

Too many beers or can anyone else picture Halak being the starter in the playoffs

Yes please

stevens knows his ****. he is one of the better commentators on that network.

I loathed him as a player. However I agree he knows his stuff.

 

[BadBruins]

That was a good game. I love chippy games. Nashville wanted this one. Not an easy contest facing a desperate squad.

Bergeron is simply amazing. Thinks the game at another level.

I thought Nordstrom was quietly really good. Maybe the best player on his line with Krejci and Pastrnak 5 on 5. Doesn't belong there in the top-6, but I really like his overall game.

i can. although both goals were kinda soft

 

[Otherworld]

I agree we need a top six forward. We got the offence we needed tonight so I am content to see what these new lines look like for a little while

True but at least Halak in his postgame just now owned up to that 2nd goal, saying he wasn't expecting the shot.

His entire career has been tricking teams into making him the starter and then failing miserably.

Rask is a #1, Halak is an outstanding backup that can play 3/4 games in a row when needed. Don't fix what ain't broken.

We will see. But for me Rask is number 1 to lose. I think Rask was playing well.If Rask is ready, i start with him.

You’ve had a too many beers

 

[McGarnagle]

I heard bits and pieces of the 2nd and 3rd periods while out Christmas shopping. Sounds like we're on a good roll and only getting better with injured pieces coming back.

What were the lines with Bergy back? Who anchored the top line?

 

[Zillah]

Not that there’s anything wrong with that

Halak's career trajectory implies that the hot streak will wind down eventually. But I say ride him as long as he's the hot hand.

It's not out of the question that he'll get hot in the playoffs again like he did in 2010 when he basically single-handedly eliminated the Capitals. We could even have a nice Moog/Lemelin thing going with them, whoever's hot in April gets the brunt of the starts.

Honestly I'd be happy with Halak starting 50 games in the regular season just to keep Rask fresher for the playoffs, because he's never been able to hold up after having to carry a 60 game load in the regular season (during the Chad Johnson/Niklas Svedberg years).

Let's see he is 1st in sv% and 3rd in gaa.

I don't care about contracts or feelings, so if he keeps it up you sure as hell do start him.

Too many beers. Way too early.

 

[Emerz]

Pasta is good for 2-3 points a game for about this whole month.

What a player he's become and he's just getting better every year.

 

[Alicat]

Not unless your trying to craft a competitive line up for the playoffs lol

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Exactly

Marchand Bergeron Debrusk
? Krejci Pasta
Heinen Cave Backes
Wagner Acciari Kuraly
Donato Nordstrom

? = top 6, Marchand kind of clone is ideal. Nick Schmaltz, Travis Konecny would be nice

How can you have the hardest working bottom 6 guy out, that is so lame, the hate is getting old. Easy you put Heinen with Krech and Nordy back on the 3rd line, they have been effective. Travis Konecny is not available at all.

I like heinen but hes a 3rd liner. Need a gamebreaker in the top 6

1) I am proud that I went beer for beer with my 24 year old cousin

2) on the T heading to dinner with in laws.

This will NOT go well.

PS. Contender when healthy.

It really gets annoying when every time the Bruins win people talk about Grizz and McAvoy being outstanding. They were hardly outstanding today, especially a Grizz in his own end. You can bet that when Chara gets back that will be the first pairing that is split up. They were not horrible today, they were good but certainly not outstanding, McAvoy was by far the better of the two.
