Post-Game Talk: Game #41 - Bruins hang on to win 6-4!

[Bread and Circuses]

Lots of tenacity from the Bruins tonight.

They kept up with the pace of the game for the most part, fun game to watch.

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Pasta's goal was a thing of beauty. What a play.

Agreed, definitely not a fluke.

I mean its hard to pull off but Krug & Pasta knew what they were doing for sure.

See you in June, maybe.

God, that first goal was revolting.

I would love that series.

Calgary is an exciting team to watch, but I'm not convinced their goaltending can take them to the Final.

dafoomie just posted the clip of Frolik changing his mind about taking on Miller. Who wants to post it on the main board so there can be another epic meltdown about Jack Edwards?

Hey Toronnnnto

 

[AM Bruin]

The correct way to summarize the game is by saying that their goalie was worse than ours.
Thank goodness for the special teams tonight as well.

The exact opposite of the Classic game , the two goalies in that game ...were the game

That looked like a hit from the 1980s highlight reels by Miller.

 

[Krupp]

Glad to see they won!

This team may need another top 6 winger, but isn't it terrific how Pasta has flourished in the past few seasons? And Jake's scoring two hopefully is just the start for him in a new streak - he's three down from his previous total last year! Here's to hoping he bags 20+

I don't really care that he only has three assists. Goals are more important, IMO

Torey Krug’s two assists on Marchand and Pastrnak’s goals were amazing. To have that type of skill, vision and execution is rare

We will use this until/if Fenway wants to use his live thread.

Thanks - first post updated now. We had major tech issues in Uniondale last night

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

I really hope they have a plan to put this team into the cup conversation. My body is ready.

This game shows just how good they can be when they get secondary scoring. I really hope they acquire someone to help because it would really be a shame to put it all on the first line again. They still have time to see if they can get it from within, but if not they really need to make a move. This team could cause some real damage with a little help

I'd also say this game shows that they continue to play to the level of their competition. When they want to turn it on they can, but it seems like they look past teams that they know they should beat. They need to treat every game like they are facing the best team in the league

The assist off the end boards to Pasta was one of the best plays in the NHL this season.

Is there a chance that Rick Nash may sign and play end of season and playoffs like Mike Fisher did with Nashville last year

God, that first goal was revolting.

Easy 2 on 4, no one picked up trailer. Have to clean up their rebound coverage moving forward.

 

[jgatie]

B-b-b-ut I thought fighting was no deterrent?

 

[BMC]

2 points and a baby out of Krejci today. Not bad!

I love jake debrusk

No, that was Mrs. Krejci! DK did his part 9 months ago

I will preface this by saying that I think Cassidy has done an excellent job with the B’s overall. That said, I’m not sure I understand the way he handles some of the players (younger ones particularly) in regards to line combos and TOI.

It’s strange to me that you can have a kid like Heinen, who had 47 pts last season, but is clearly scrambling to find his game this year, be moved all over the place and receive limited minutes at the drop of a hat.

Yet, with a player like a Acciari, who I think most would agree has struggled this season, Cassidy continues to give him chance after chance and last night he had the 4th highest TOI overall and 3rd highest at ES.

To me, that’s a little nuts.

It’s not just about Heinen. From last night’s game:

Bergeron - 19:38
Pasta - 19:06
Marchand - 18:27
Acciari - 17:29
Krejci - 16:38
DeBrusk - 16:04

Noel Acciari had more ice time than David Krejci and Jake DeBrusk (ES and overall).

Let that sink in for a minute.

I’m happy the B’s were able to beat a tough Calgary team last night and I want them to continue to win. I just don’t see how that’s sustainable when the team’s best players aren’t seeing the ice the most.
