Post-Game Talk: Game 50 - WE GOT TROUBLE RIGHT HERE IN BRUINS CITY - PIT 4 BRUINS 3 F

[BruinsFanSince94]

He looked great in the first but those 2 goals he just couldn't find. Hopefully this isn't a problem for him normally. I would love to see Vladar get the next game but unfortunately won't.

I swear there was a similar situation for him in another game where he gave up a goal because he was lost looking behind the net.

Silver lining and a big one

Anders Bjork is a player

DeBrusk-Coyle-Bjork

were very good

That line had energy all night and created chances, lindholm looked really good and Kuhlmann was OK on the 3rd line, but Heinen was like a ghost, just a terrible showing from him.
The 4th line, Wagner showed up,but not much out of Nordstrom, and Kuraly is still looking for his game from last year.

What pissed me off about tying SHG was the 2 lazy LAZY Bruins behind the Pena net that allowed Johnson to turn a harmless 2 on 2 into a 3 on 2. Even one of them just had to hustle back to cover Johnson. But they just turned and looked sad that the play was going the other way. No way this should happen on a “Cup-contending” team in a close game.

The people overreacting to posts slamming the team reveal more about their own unhealthy state of mind than the ones they’re slamming, lol.

guys this is a blessing - no way management doesn’t mix things up blowing two three goal games in one week.

We can only hope.

Cassidy signed an extension this year so barring some off ice incident almost no chance he gets fired this year. Personally I prefer Laviolette as he has tougher teams and shows emotion. Cassidy's deer in ths headlight look is wearing real thin to these eyes.

I don’t think changing coaches makes a difference.

This is the first time in club history that the Bruins have lost games in which they have had 3-goal leads 3 times in a regular season. They hadn’t blown 2 3-goal leads in a season in 26 years. Previous: (1964,’81,’85,’88,’90,’91,’93,’94).

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the all-star break can't come quick enough.

 

[danpantz]

And poster wanted to give Mac 8 per, I'm feeling ripped off at 4.9

You feel ripped off that your paying your 22 year old #1 defense-man 4.9 mil a year because he had a bad game today?

 

[Budddy]

I get everyone is disappointed after this loss but let's look at in retrospect. They just lost to the team that is 4th in the standings. This wasn't a loss against an awful team like Detroit but against one of the better teams in the league. **** like this happens all the time. Now for a positive, Carlo was on ice for all of the Bruins goals and none of the Penguins goals.

true, but Pens 3rd game in 4 days and down 2 forwards for a long time. inexcusable loss IMO

 

[Scruffy]

that first pp unit stays out way too long. they were dead

Halak needs to make that save. No excuse.

 

[Trizz617]

There isn't anything wrong with us fans, ripping our team, a new well deserved, ahole after a performance like this. Period. Passion goes both ways, win or lose. It's ok to take the blinders off and hold a team's feet to the fire when deserved. Just as it's ok to heap praise when things are going smoothly.

 

[caz16]

Halak is not looking great - that is the biggest difference to me. I don't know the answer to this but how many of those blown leads were when Halak was in net?

I thought Bjork looked great, he seems to be improving every game.

 

[KrazyLegs]

Is that the 3rd 3-goal lead they've lost this year? or the 4th, or 7th. Feels like the 7th.

Well, we’ve blown two 3-0 leads against Pitt in three games. So...

 

[Scruffy]

I say give Vladar the start on Tuesday

Fingers crossed Heinen gets dealt at the deadline.

 

[Alicat]

At least the Chiefs are losing.

I need a nap to clear my headache

They need to make moves and at this point, short of trading the core, I may just be ok with it.

 

[DKH]

Plus the guys they didn't have coming into the game. Gutty performance for sure.

Crosby is so bleeping good

Agreed on Bjork.
Im sure Rask is like giga pissed and beats up our guys and breaks their sticks if they dont play defense well enough. Halak seems much more of a nice guy.

 

[JOKER 192]

No, it's not a bad game that concerns me, it's a bad season that does it. He maybe occupying a #1 spot but he's like a 4 at best and often looks like a 6.

 

[Grimey]

I was completely fine with how they played last game. They looked inspired and into it, they played a full 60 minutes.

Today, they once again played a 20 minute hockey game. It’s frustrating.

That's exactly it. It's like a runner sprinting for the first lap, walking the final two and finishing last while being content with their one good lap.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

A #4 at best and often looks like a #6?

 

[Zillah]

Titans doing their best Bruins imitation ... get a nice early lead then ... collapse .

 

[The National]

I don’t think changing coaches makes a difference.

You’re right it doesn’t, make a few trades and this is a whole new team. Just need management to recognize the guys they need to move, what they’re missing and go get it.

Games like this and many recent games make those things pretty easy to recognize.

honestly not sure we watched the same game. agree on the Coyle line but Heinen at least generated a couple of offensive opportunities. honestly didnt see Kuhlman do a thing today. barely heard his name mentioned. as for Wagner, again not sure what he did to get a passing grade. 4th line continues to be horendous.

 

[Alicat]

Bruce never ruled out Tuukka playing Tuesday before the game. All depends on how he feels tomorrow morning
