GDT: GAME 59 8:38 PM - THE BEAR explores the Edmonton ICE District - NESN, NHLN ( No ESPN+), SN, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[SPV]

We could only be so lucky.

Really!!!

I've been here for 20 years and only got infracted once but came pretty close to twice tonight.

Pasta bashing here tonight all game long. Guy’s in pace for 60 but that’s not enough. He isn’t perfect and can have bad games. I didn’t see him floating out there. Yes he was trying to score in McD’s house. Love the 5 forwards out there in the 5-3. Go for the kill.

I think people are more focused on the bad habits that exist even in the games that he scores.

Habits that wouldn't take a herculean effort to fix.

Shocked we started that 5-3 with 5 forwards, but in the first 15 sec of that PP we just passed it around the perimeter and played keep away, and I was fine with that. I figured we’d just sit back and burn clock…..Then the stupid crept in.

 

[missingchicklet]

Really? Embarrassing? The BRUINS are 46-8-5. And they've won the last two games with piss-poor performances by Pasta. Foligno had a very good game tonight and J-SWAY made the saves.

Huh? My post was entirely about the PP.

We need to get Gonzo up to Boston to point him in the right direction.

Can’t keep trotting out the same 5 man PP1 unit it’s been too long

Flip Lindy and Mac atleast and see what happens

Forwards need to be changed up, they stand around to much to easy to defend

Fix the PP and there will be no stoping this team.

Canucks & Oilers caught the Bruins on terrible nights and still lose

Lol...sad but true

 

[Ladyfan]

PP needs some work.

 

[The don godfather]

Extended 5 on 3, with a lead. All you gotta do is sit on it or play keep away AT WORST. Somehow Edmonton gets a few beauty opportunities

This pp is becoming a problem

I would have just put carlo and orlov and killed that clock instead of playing ping pong.

You answered your own question. He has had a couple of bad games, no one is saying trade him. People will point out he’s been rough with his decision making last couple of games.

A few posters crap all over him every game.

It is annoying and foolish.

When players have bad games/bad habits it's a discussion point.

That's what usually is talked about in a GDT

I didn’t think tonight was bad except for that pass on5-3. I saw effort out there. Sometimes effort is all your going to get. He can’t score in every game.

My guess is that the team needed to take their foot off the pedal. They are relying (rightfully so) on depth to win these games.

It's alright for us to call a bad game what it is; this team is playing key players at 80% speed and relying on the other guys who were carried earlier in the year to carry the workloads.

Every team in the NHL goes thru bad PP streaks. Skinner did make a fantastic save of a Marchy shot. Tomorrow night's game might be a good game to give some players a healthy scratch.

 

[mar2kbos]

That game was fast and physical. Tomorrow is going to be a tough one
