BRUINS GDT GAME 40 10:08 PM - If you think the Bruins have problems, Vegas seems to have more - NESN, ESPN+, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[4ORRBRUIN]

Starting alot without puck is becoming an issue.

Jack needs to reminds us on Coyle fo% during games its so bad

 

[22Brad Park]

Ahhh well take the pt on to St Louis

 

[Terrier]

Feel bad for Sway, left helpless in OT after a great performance.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Pasta and defense should never be used in the same sentence.

The fact he was out there in that last 26 seconds of a tie game should get the coach fired. He could give a f about winning

 

[NeelyOrr]

When the same crap playing happens over and over an over then, to me, it's a coaching issue

It's a talent(or, more accurately, lack of) issue.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Ahhh well take the pt on to St Louis

If they lose in regulation do I get a trophy for picking 3 points on the trip?

 

[TD Charlie]

If they lose in regulation do I get a trophy for picking 3 points on the trip?

Only if i get one for having5!

 

[GordonHowe]

Pasta and defense should never be used in the same sentence.

I have pointed out David's 200 ft game deficiencies often.

He can certainly be better, and he is now a leader on this team.

But he is far and away their greatest offensive asset and he has been producing. Let's not lose sight of that fact.

In many ways, like Brad, he's put this team on his back and has a great deal to do with their success.

So of course he can be better, and I wish he would get serious about his defensive game. But let's not forget, he does a lot for this team offensively. And, now it's more than just the one-timer. He uses his creativity not only to score, but also, more importantly at this point, to set up other players. He's a great talent and talented players are not always the most responsible in three zones.

Expect more but give the guy a break.

 

[NeelyOrr]

If they lose in regulation do I get a trophy for picking 3 points on the trip?

I wonder what the record is for most consecutive OT's?

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Beecher 4 out of 9 in dot Coyle 6 out of 16 Geekie 5 for 7

Coyle is a big reason we can't close games out, but don't tell Brick that

 

[Bruin]

That will be the easiest ot win any team will ever see. Even Lindholm was like wtf??

 

[GordonHowe]

It's a talent(or, more accurately, lack of) issue.

Where does the ultimate responsibility for this lie?

 

[bwunderlich]

All other things being equal, It seems to boil down to FO's.

Can;t score without possession of the puck.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

There may be some - many - that will look at this road trip and say, up to this point, three of a possible six points.

I will take the three points, and then, knowing that it's the last game on this road trip, go into St Louis and kick their f****** ass.

It's entirely possible that the Bruins could have gotten nothing out of this road trip. Think about it. The injuries. Everything else. Again, I will take the three points and move on to St Louis.

It's been a rough time, and I am not down on the Bruins at all as far as their play goes.

Same here. They are in a bit of a funk but still playing reasonably well under tough circumstances. I really don’t give a flying f*** about what happens in a 3 on 3 circus show. It’s not hockey.

 

[dredeye]

If only we could win an ot game. Jeez

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

When the same crap playing happens over and over an over then, to me, it's a coaching issue

What do you do, coach? 3 on 3. What’s your play? What do you do differently?

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

But you're good, right?

Why would we root for the Sabres?

 

[bob77]

Pasta was a physical mistake. Stone out muscled him and turned the corner. Marchand was at center ice guarding a guy that was back by the Vegas goalie. I do understand it man coverage 3-3, but for god sake Marchard had no awareness there at all as far as a switch to help out. We’d be better using 2 D low zone and 1 F out high.

 

[NeelyOrr]

Where does the ultimate responsibility for this lie?

Tough call because of delayed payments to Bergy and DK. It has definitely handcuffed DS.
I just think blaming Monty is absurd.

 

[22Brad Park]

Coyle is a big reason we can't close games out, but don't tell Brick that

Certainly needs to be better in dot.

 

[FONZIE]

What do you do, coach? 3 on 3. What’s your play? What do you do differently?

Alot. You can change matchups, sit players that aren't pulling their weight in OT, Monty mixes lines every night - he can do many things to change the look of 3 v 3 in overtime that has lost his team points in the paste two weeks. Pasta played like a donkey, he can sit too...

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Thread closed. Go here: Post-Game Talk: - Like a skipping record, the Bruins lose again in OT… 2-1 Knights

Except Pasta floated after getting beat by Stone. He turned on the jets when it was too late. Could have busted his ass to get back from the start. Bad situational awareness from him.

 

[McGarnagle]

How does a team with Pastrnak, Marchand, and McAvoy plus two elite goalies suck so much ass in 3 on 3 OT?
