Work on faceoffs.

Bruins made a ton of mistakes but fought at least.McAvoy 2 assists +1 playing 26:27 was impressive in game like this.Bruins had a couple passengers in this lineup tonite but he was not it regardless of those 2 penalties

Time On Ice: BOS

Time On Ice: PIT​

The only stat the BRUINS won was penalty minutes. They've been winning that stat pretty consistently.

 

[GloveSave1]

Ehh. You give up 6, you deserve nothing…

No matter how you look at the officiating, I think we all can agree the Bruins need to find a way to get more than 2 powerplays a game. Embellishment seems to be in fashion. Probably gotta start drawing attention more.

 

[GordonHowe]

Used to be a Taylor Swift fan. That hasn't been true for a long time.

Nonetheless, when you're right, you're right,

 

[Fair Warning]

Lohrei is a defensive liability at this point. Send him back to Providence for more seasoning and play Wotherspoon until Forbort comes back.

 

[PaulD]

Fun game.
The two teams I most enjoy on my center ice package.

 

[NeelyOrr]

Bad new: The BRUINS lost.
Good news: No BRUIN was hurt, except maybe their feelings.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Just one shift for the 4th line in the 3rd, 6:30 TOI for the game. Same for Lohrei, bad start left him largely benched in the second half, just 8:30 TOI. All meant the top guys bore a heavy load yet again - Lindholm 29 mins(!), McAvoy 26, Pasta 24, Zacha 22. These sorts of numbers are a frequent occurrence. I'm not comfortable with it. Monty is not trusting his depth and that is putting a lot of strain elsewhere. Potentially asking for trouble down the road.

 

[dugg133]

I'm just about done with the benching the rookies routine tbh, if you're not gonna play them then don't dress them. You just can't double shift the top 6 every single game like this, it's not sustainable.

 

[KWbruin]

Lohrei -3 in less than 9 minutes. Perhaps there could have been some consideration of giving the kid a night or two off after losing a tooth the other night. Not like he lost them the game - lots of shite to go around tonight.

Defensive liability describes all 3 pairs tonight. Gotta be the worst game I’ve seen from McAvoy

You can also place Gryz on waivers.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Jay Leach save us

 

[NeelyOrr]

With a lesser goalie the Pens could have scored 10 tonight.

Yea to me Monty has to stop with that constant shuffling and especially if not going to play them when it don't work.

 

[aguineapig72]

Marchand's effort on the shorty was worth all the aggravation the rest of this game afforded.
Well almost. OK no, not really but it was one hell of an effort and finish. Onward we go.

He played forward until 16, i think expectations are far too high for him.

It’s the problem I have. This is supposed to be a transition year. You want to see if the young guys take some rope. Over taxing the top lines screams job saving to me.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

We need proper center....or 2

 

[dugg133]

Also Merkulov at 4C is such an obviously stupid decision from Monty. It was never gonna work, he is not a 4th liner. He's a skill player that needs to be playing with other skill. If you're not gonna put the kid in a position to succeed then just send him down.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Another 13 goals by Marchand and he hits 400 and can punch his ticket to the HOF.

Even his " worst" game is 27 minutes +1 and two assists is still the best DMan we have by a mile.
