Post-Game Talk: GAME 44 - Best win of the year? BRUINS 5 Colorado 2 F

[Sheppy]

It's a fair point, and maybe the better strategy is play each goalie until they lose a game...but I get the feeling these guys don't care too much, they seem happy to split games.

Oh, I understand. I just think if a guy is in the zone and has a fantastic game, taking him out of that rhythm could be a knife in the back at the same time.

What is this talk of Lauko doing something at the end of the game and deserved to be beaten?! AVS were pissed? Didn't see anything. Intrigued

Horn sounded and he bumped an Avs player near the B's net and probably talked some sh*t. Saw it on the stream and didnt really think much of it

I seem to recall that as the game was winding down, the play was in the AVs zone, and an AVs player did something Lauko didn't like. Knocked him down or something. Play went up ice to the Bruins' end as the clock expired and Lauko caught up to that player and looked like he gave him a half-hearted crosscheck and tried to engage him maybe.

Pastrnak picks the top corner on an empty net. That's confidence.

Grzelcyk's line from last night:

No points, no shots on goal, no hits, no blocks, no takeaways, 4 giveaways.

typical game from him,
when carlo and forbort come back, they better not play gryz over wotherspoon. dumb move if they do

Grzelcyk shouldn't play even when they're not back.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

That's the part I am stuck on. He had a skate on the line when the puck strikes his blade. So if that instant is ruled as possession, and the rules state a puck carrier and the puck are considered the same entity for the argument of only the puck carrier being onside...then the right call was made

but what defines possession?

nobody knows. i wouldnt call that possession on zachas play. but in my mind its close enough to be onside.

Lauko should have got his head beat in at end of game

Douche move

How so? Been told by other posters why it happened and seems like a nothing situation?

Even the analytics crowd can't say much positive about him this year - only Mitchell and Lohrei have worse xG% than him and he starts the most out of all D in the offensive zone, except for Mac.

I wonder if losing Bergeron has exposed him a bit 5 on 5 since I believe (from my not so good memory) he most commonly played with his line at 5 on 5 in the past.

Monty knows who butters the team's bread.

 

[22Brad Park]

Move Ullmark at the draft
Pay Debrusk
Get Hanifin and Hertl in the offseason
Duckboats 2024-2025

Rather Lindholm myself over Hertl .The right shot works better for Marchand.l and he is better without puck by the ole eye test( not looking up actual stats to prove it )But hey that is just my take, I could be wrong and Hertl score 40 here.

I’d wear one with 88 on it!

The Bruins are going to play the bigger cap hit for sure barring till a trade happens.Just my 2 cents

On your WHAT???!!!

 

[bobbyorr04]

Then you deserve jail time and probation.

I'm Canadian, but always wondered why they say offsides instead of offside

Many years ago I used to think more than one player must've went offside at the same time

I hate those chains BUT I love Pasta

My nephew has one for the Celtics, I'd get him a Pasta one no questions asked! Lol

It's up there with the sticker on the hat thing for me when it comes to annoyances, lol.

I wonder too, I didn't see anything but @DKH was at the game and must have seen something

Couple things

Live v TV

Live

The puck comes down with about 8 seconds left and I believe Lohrei gets and goes behind net seeing what Olafsson is going to do. You never know because I think at end of second a nothing end of period play Marchand went aggressively after Girard with malice. Girard didn’t like it and I don’t really blame him but it’s Marchand so know your opponent.

Olafsson body language and even facial expression seemed to convey ‘all set’ and he stood infront of Swayman for last 2 seconds as time ran out. Lauko skated over and gave him a not to subtle stick shove. It seemed and still does appear unnecessary. The Colorado players specifically McDermod didn’t like it and basically called Lauko a d bag

TV

Olafsson seconds before knocked Boqvist down at center ice so maybe that’s why. On TV if looked like a meh push but just feet away Lauko put power behind it.

My buddy I went to game with is a member here, coach and lots of folks know him he’s in our HFL League like myself - he came to the same conclusion

I did not know about the Boqvist knockdown so maybe that’s it

I thought it was BS move but because it’s Lauko and he’s on the Bruins it’s awesome (kidding)

Shit easily could have escalated and Swayman was standing there

I’m Monty I would have wanted to know what happened and probably told him he needs to pass on this if ever happens again

Remember - game 5 third period Monty puts out Lauko and Tkachuk sees this as they line up for faceoff- he switches to get next to him . Tkachuk sets him up leaning in, Lauko leans back - refs are now watching - Tkachuk little stick slash to Lauko bit of a love tap - Lauko comes back and Tkachuk goes into his Academy Award mode and Lauko goes to box

Reinhart scores goal on PP shortly after Cats up 3-2

I’m a fan of Lauko, however, he needs to understand situations and scores can be settled later on his terms

Yeah the Olofsson/Boqvist incident is the answer. Just seconds to go in a game that's over and Olofsson shoves Boqvist right in the face and knocks him down. Completely unnecessary. Lauko didn't like it and let Olofsson know about it. One must remember as well that Boqvist had been borderline boarded by MacDermid late in the 1st and the Bruins didn't particularly like that one either, so there's a little history to simmer on there too.

I get your point that Lauko has occasionally given away silly penalties and he needs to avoid that. Very true. But in this case he stood up for a teammate and IMO that was absolutely the right thing to do. I can't see Monty having any problem with it.
