Post-Game Talk: GAME 62 - B's lose to Blues in a shootout BUT bank 9 out of 10 points on trip

[BruinsFTW]

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
Debrusk - Krejci - Stone/Panarin
Cehlarik - Coyle - Heinen
Kuraly - Wagner - Backes
Acciari/Nordstron

I came.

WILD fan here. Caught some of the game today. Coyle looked good out there. You guys are gonna love how good he is on the puck down-lien. It’s borderline irritating because you feel like he should be getting more points with how often he’s controlling the puck. How was his shootout goal?

-1, no shots and 1 hit in 16 min of play. Not a great debut by any means. He is tough yo move off the puck and has nice puck possession skills like you said and is a def upgrade for us

Looks like NESN needs to update their St. Louis b-roll. Just saw an exterior with Scotttrade Center on there.

I think they will wait till the draft and trade him then to try and get back a first round pick if they trade it.

The interest from other teams for Krug right now is probably low considering the way he's been playing this season

 

[DarrenBanks56]

still cant believe blues only took one penalty

the call on marchand was one of the worst ive seen all season. and it killed a scoring chance

You’re kidding with this right?

What a road trip.

When you just hope for 500

Great

Good point..I actually was hoping 4 or 5 pts cannot lie.

 

[rocketdan9]

Not really. Krejci isn’t a down low cycle type of player where Coyle is

Yes but overall feel

Very good vision. Not too physical. Has some nice tricks up his sleeves to win small battles etc

 

[prizminferno]

no pp in the 2nd and 3rd when driving the play is staggering

I’ll need to see a lot more than one game from Coyle, but I liked what I saw today

That and the only teams that will want him would be playoff teams. I'm not a huge fan of giving away a good player to an opponent that they may play in the playoffs.

 

[Coach Parker]

Especially after calling Carlo on a play that happened minutes later against Krug and possibly injured him.

 

[BostonBob]

Made the 3rd line a threat, even with Backes.

Damn - that's MVP talk right there.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Nope

 

[BMC]

I came.

TMI

 

[rocketdan9]

Still bitter about two glorious Backes chances

Sooo close

 

[Chief Nine]

Nope

OK then. I’ll “take my chances” with #47 from here on thanks

 

[Fenway]

Can I come home now?

Can I come home now?

Yes. Bring me some free beer please.

What was with 2 D on the ice in OT???

I actually think Cassidy's OT strategy is to try and get to a shootout, he's been running weird combos like Kuraly - Carlo - Wagner among other strange OT combos this season.

It's definitely out of the ordinary but I guess it works.

 

[prizminferno]

he said on the post-game they had a bad change and kept falling behind so they just decided to go conservative

All I know is the B's can't go into the playoffs with two small defensemen again and although they would miss Krug's offense, (which hasn't been much lately) I'd rather keep Grizz who is more reliable in the defensive zone and doesn't get out-muscled as easy as Krug.

Nothing personal against Krug and I'm not a Krug hater

Given the choice between Gryz and Krug in the playoffs if that was a concern I’ll go with the proven veteran who has absolutely shone in the playoffs. Gryz hasn’t really had any experience compared to what Krug has and brings

yeah your right, opposing GM`s probably have absolutely no use for a point producing, passing wizard. C`mon, the guy has some defensive shortcomings which are well knows, spare us with interest being low. I`d wager if the B`s said loudly he was on the block, there would be a large contingent of GM`s lining up to seize the chance to get him

I actually have a bigger worry heading into the playoffs with a far less experienced Grizz back there than TK
