Post-Game Talk: Game 60- Buffalo 4- Bruins 1 - end of the world edition

[C77]

As others have written, they should rotate guys in and out of the lineup throughout the rest of the regular season.

Maybe even Chara can rest a game or two.

 

[Fenway]

My fault - I had to work for NBC and didn't see one second of game

 

[ODAAT]

Not panicking but that was embarrassing. GM goes out, makes aggressive move to send a message/reward team for terrific play and they do that? Put it behind you but they should be bloody embarrassed with that putrid effort vs a team that`s putrid itself

 

[Kate08]

McQuaid should keep his stick down bc that’s who hit Bergeron in the face.

Well then he needs to suffer the consequences of said lifetime ban.

 

[Blowfish]

The other issue with the game last night . Miller and McQuaid both in the lineup. Bruins were chasing there tails last night. Time for some Holden plus I really don't like Carlo sitting. Gryz soooo good last night. I'm so impressed with that kid.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Slot Carlo back in and give krug a game, slot Holden in

Put gryz up with Carlo and Holden with Miller

 

[BigBear83]

krejci was awful last night .. and has been for quite some time..

 

[Blowfish]

What has Backes done to help this team? What does he bring to the team? I saw a dude chasing the play all night.

Up until the last 2 games he was directly involved in about 7-8 game saving plays or plays that lead to the GWG. Such "what have you done lately" itis on this board sometimes.

He hasn't done anything to impress me since he was signed by the bruins. Nothing!

He was OK, Nash made him relevant again I thought


My worry is Krejci is still nursing a back injury and they'd rather have a weakened Krejci than a healthy spooner (clearly ) or even JFK for a few games

Well, don't blame others for your lack of attention for the game.

 

[Chiz1982]

Out PP is absolutely horrible without Spooner, this is gonna hurt us. Spooner was so good on the powerplay controlling the puck and cycling up and getting it to the next guy. I liked Nash this game... hope losing Spooner doesn't come back to bite us, you all seem to underestimate him.... he played great this season for us, nothing like previous years, even in our own zone, we lost valuable speed which I have seen him use many times to get back to our zone and get on the player with the puck. I'm still for the trade with it containing half of Beleskeys cap. Can't wait to see what this team can do against the Canes tomorrow night, I have a feeling they are going to lay a beat down on the Canes, and hopefully roll on through Pitts, they usually compete really well against them.

I don’t know what you’re watching but it isn’t the Bruins

 

[LSCII]

It's clearly the curse of Ryan Spooner. He left and in his first game in NY he had 2 assists. Nash? Yeah, nothing. No points. Clearly he stinks and the team made the wrong moves...

 

[DarrenBanks56]

With all this depth we have now. I think we should start resting some guys.
Carlo sat yesterday.
Tuesday I would have Krug watch a couple games.
Have
Chara-MCAvoy
Gryz-Miller
Holden-Carlo

 

[DarrenBanks56]

krejci was awful last night .. and has been for quite some time..

He's been struggling.
Sat against Toronto he was behind the play all nite long.
Hopefully Nash on his wing will get him going. Big homestand coming up. Hopefully we get back on track and start burying these chances

 

[JP Nolan]

I think that the Bruins really wanted him to succeed here. I think he got a lot more rope than some players do, and it’s unfortunate it didn’t work out in Boston.

I’m glad he’s happy he went to NY.

I bet Vesey was happy he went to NY too...

Last season.

Not so sure he was happy initially. I saw him interviewed after the game and he said it was hard and it was a shock because he had no idea he was going. Hard to leave a place after 5 years with those guys. Learned a lot. And his face was very sad. And that was after his two assist debut. I think maybe once he got there he just turned the leaf. But i would say there were some sad emotions. I will miss the kid. I always liked his game and thought he gave 100% of his game.

Curse of Spooner? As well as the curse of Frankie Vats. We are undone!

hopefully NY gives him a huge contract

You keep saying he is struggling and slow. Just not the case. He is the same player he has always been. The whole team was behind the play all night long vs Toronto the other night, not just Krejci. Yet he still managed a sweet assist on DeBrusk goal.

You are correct that lately he has missed 3-4 chances that could have been goals had the puck gone his way but what is important is the chances are there, Yesterday a sweet no look drop pass to Nash that he rings of the post. 1/4 inch the other way and nobody has anything to say.

It is tiring reading so many people who dont seem to understand Krejci's game that he is a puck possession master who looks,looks,looks, holds holds, holds and delivers world class passes as well as maybe some of the greatest centers of all time. He is also an above average defensive player and has never shied away from the boards even though his game is space. Nash said yesterday he looks forward to playing with a "world class" center. Other then Bergy or Rask, he is our most important player and history will tell you that. Thats just a simple fact no matter who does not like the guy.

our power play has been junk for a while now. when Spooner was here.

 

[KrejciMVP]

if Nash buries that Krejci feed last night it's a sportcenter top 10 for sure.

If he's getting slower it's bc he's getting older. Does anyone expect him to get faster with time after watching him for the last decade?

Carlo needed a break, he had been struggling the past 4-5 games. Hopefully this jump starts his game.
