Post-Game Talk: GAME 38 - BRUINS 7 Tampa Bay 3

[BruinsFanMike82]

Never seen a replay of Poitras getting the bloody nose what got him high stick,glove?Got a kick out of Tampa coach being upset there wasn’t a wistle because a Bruin player was hurt.

I agree that losses bring out more posters.

But in fairness, the thread was made early in the morning. There was a lot of positivity in the GDT when the game ended, including GRR's Marchand/goalie hug pics.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Difficult to tell what got him could be stick,elbow glove,looks like roughing to me though.

 

[Mione134]

Put Shattenkirk on the top power play unit, please.

I want PP2 to be PP1

 

[bwunderlich]

Game closer than score suggests. Vas needed to stop Freddy and Pasta, who had only forehand opportunity . . . again, needs to be saved.

Kucherov is a beast . . . offensively. He's slated to be a 130+ point guy this year and projects to a -18. Granted . . .some of that is on goalie and defense.

Lauko 7:46 of ice-time??

Aussie Bruin has mentioned it frequently and I concur; would like to see more balanced ice-time. Mac getting 24+ minutes a game is not how I'd approach his load mngt.

Good contributions across Top 3 lines lately. Would like to at least see some sandpaper from 4th line

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

During their last 6 games, the Bruins have converted on 41.2% of their Powerplays.

The most productive players per 60?

Hampus Lindholm = 37.18 on-ice Goals For per 60min
Jake DeBrusk = 28.26
James van Riemsdyk = 28.13
Charlie Coyle = 25.71
Kevin Shattenkirk = 24.83

The least productive player? (and it's not even close)

Charlie McAvoy = 3.18


The above productivity player rankings are approx. the same over the last 20 games, too - so it's not just a microcosm of a small sample size.

I'd have Lindholm QB PP1 and Shattenkirk QB PP2.
If they're absolutely determined to keep McAvoy out there on the Powerplay, I'd consider removing Pavel Zacha for McAvoy on one of the units.

I wanna find the Frederic hit on Jeannot, apparently Jeannot may be concussed

The video was just posted to the Frederic thread.

Poitras is gonna be a force if he puts on muscle like Pasta did

Not working for me but perhaps that’s just on my end

And can avoid getting pasted into the boards every game.

Love seeing Jake up there.

I know that the NHL is so bad at marketing its basically become a meme, but for the last few seasons I have felt that Pasta needs to be a player they push nationally to grow the game. Great player, great story, and a truly fun personality. He's the exact type of player you want as a face of your league, not some of the robots (McDavid) or creepy looking (I won't mention) guys that normally are used as faces.

Maybe he's pushed more nationally than I realize, but it feels like a huge ball drop by the NHL.

I'm glad he's going to be a career Bruin.

From a few years ago, but they do promote our boy Pasta

 

[RI.B FAN]

I understand that its a bridge year with no resources so getting good production from guys like Geekie and JVR are huge in terms of getting into the playoffs and winning a round or two.

But people still shouldn't be expecting us to win a cup this year. The Bruins #1 need is still a 1C, points aside Geekie and Zacha ain't it. Coyle is definitely playing the part of a 2c which is great, I thought Zacha would take a step but he hasn't really and in between goals every so often the now Geekie line is getting caved when matched up against the other teams best.

I didn't say they are a Cup contender as currently built. They will add with caution, maybe get a few rounds, again all teams have issues this year more that most years.

NHL.com has all goals in the game summary

 

[goldnblack]

The 1M deals Sweeney handed out were robbery. Can't believe how well he nailed those.

 

[Carl Hungus]

Carlos a guy who does a million little things right, but people will only remember one or two awful giveaways and judge him on that.

Totally agree. Makes mistakes like everyone but is such an important player. Especially at the cap hit, I am very glad he's a bruin

Very true. Whining about the whiners always strikes me as such an odd way to spend your time.

There are positive fans, negative fans, good takes, bad takes, and every shade in between. Whatever floats your boat, it's all good.

Something to consider with McAvoy’s minutes up against his peers.

There's a league-wide upwards trend in the minutes given to the top players. I've acknowledged as such previously. In that sense Monty is just one of the herd, and fair enough. I just think that caution in the amount of load placed on your best players is sensible and could be telling once the playoffs hit. No fixed rule that "it must be no more than this", or anything like that, just a mindfulness that every minute adds up.

1 page after a win against Tampa?

All the debbie downers must be in shambles

To be fair, there were about 4 pages in the GDT after the game ended

The post game-thread wasn't open until early this morning

 

[BMC]

Sick, sick moves by Charlie.

So who says an older dog can't learn some new tricks??
