[wintersej]

In the arena, don’t understand Bruins overturned goal. Please help.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

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.

The career numbers for Rask and Halak are shockingly close.

Halak has had 6 seasons where he started more than half his teams games. Rask has 5.

Playoff save percentage: .924 for both

Regular season records: Rask 246-144-55 / Halak 243-155-50

This team is a completely different team with Bergeron.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

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

Nordy and Heinen are as a good as we have right now. Cannot trade till the freeze is over which is late next week. Unless they finally send Donato down where he belongs and bring back the quicker Bjork or try Senyshyn for once.

Krech was loving like with Marshy and Pasta but that is over. Krech and DeBrusk do not have chemistry this year. An engaged productive Krech is what this team needs for balanced scoring, hopefully a trade happens sooner than later.

 

[Blowfish]

Heinen had a Assist and was all around the net and had a couple real good chances could have easily had a goal or 2

Looked real good on that line

I missed the game so wasn't sure. Good to hear.

I realize that's all they have but both players have 5 goals or less and that's not top 6 production in the NHL. If the top line gets a tough matchup in the playoffs, they'll need a producing 2nd line

Too many beers. Way too early.

I am on vacation until the 2nd of 2019 hahaha so who cares, Bruins won!

50yo toronto fans said no goal

50yo toronto fans said no goal

I said to my son that they really need to get the official review setup out of Toronto.

Seriously

 

[Five Hole]

Nice win, I was skeptical about the the line choices but it clearly worked well enough. I still don’t like taking the top line apart but a win is a win

This is proof as to why the Bruins should feel fortunate to have two capable tenders, and they both are very capable of carrying a team for an extended period if time.

Laviolette is the one coach in the league I could see telling one of his players to go and injure player x on the opposing team.

 

[dredeye]

Krejci’s production is going to go south again I feel.

 

[Aeroforce]

Didn't watch, as it's a beautiful afternoon in Texas and the Preds are my least favorite team to watch. And once I saw Sissons was out, I had no interest. Not that it would've happened, but if anyone on the B's wanted to Tom Wilson him after his pathetic dive that took Marchand out of the 1-0 non-thriller in 'crappy music' city, I'd have been all for it.

Just saw the highlights and the league should be ashamed for the overturned goal on McAvoy. I've seen some horrific disallowed goals go against the Bruins, but this one might be the worst of all.

Glad it didn't factor into the outcome, and hope the Jets stay on top in the Central.

Well since the players are adults and professionals I would have to believe they would tell him to pound salt since they would be the ones serving the suspension and losing the money.

The call was the goalie was pushed into the net by Backes and he didn’t have time to reset before the shot by McAvoy.

 

[22Brad Park]

The PP was lethal, Heinen can't keep up with them at ES though. He just doesn't process the game the same way those two guys do.

Very few do however, thankfully one of them is Pasta.

Konecny would fit with them and shoots right which would be perfect

Yes that is true, but I saw Backes chasing a loose puck.

 

[Ladyfan]

Just in (we went to dinner). I love Bergy ! How good that game must have felt for him.

Brad was looking very happy to be back with Bergy.

Nice win.

To me Rinne flopped around like a beached whale for a good 4 or 5 seconds before deciding to get back on his skates

Ya but if you track his game record you'll end up seeing that he is lights out for a while, then when he takes on a true starter role he starts falling apart. There is a reason he hasn't stuck as a starter for any team, but all of us can remember watching him be really good for other teams. He can be brilliant for a while, but it tends to be a mirage.

Ride the hot hand, by all means, but Rask is a number 1, Halak is a borderline number 1 (number 1 on a bad team; even split on a decent/good team, back up on a great team).

I like Cassidy's handling right now.
