Post-Game Talk: GAME 63 - A rare third period meltdown - Oilers 3 BRUINS 2 F

The Oilers PBP guy has such an annoying voice, hard to listen to him.
Are you blaming Orlov? Come on now.
Gryz not being part of 5v5 should be music to people's ears here. Don't you know he's trash?/sarcasm
Gee maybe breaking both your hands plays a role in things.
People are nitpicking because they lost only their 9th game out of 63.
Bertuzzi wasn't a problem
Last night's game not the best for Gryz he got pushed around and Coyle twice was in prime shooting position and decide to pass where there was no player.
Edmonton came out primed and were all over Boston the first half of period one.
Ekholm was laying out Bruins all first period. Laid out #74 on what looked like to me
an accidentally on purpose hit. Ekholm is a terrific upgrade for Edmonton. Pushes
Nurse down to 2LD. Edmonton with a top 15 goalie could do serious damage next year.
Bergeron had a good first two periods but it looked like he lost his legs totally in the 3rd. Hopefully not any physical issues.
Greer had one of his better games last night but I have no issue with slotting Paulo in for him but Greer was good last night, more effective than Bertuzzi who made a couple of nice passes butlooked lethargic otherwise.
Getting a bit concerned with Swayman though. He has given up what I consider weak goals in Seattle (Dunn), in Edmonton (#97 first) and last night with Nurse.
There is zero reason to be playing Gryz on his opposite side, Monty has to end that experiment.
agree on his passing. Very good vision. would like to see a little more effort on the backcheck from him.

Your right, they’ve been terrible, only won 10 games in a row till last night.
Those are rookie numbers
That's a bad sign regarding Marchand especially given his comments regarding where he thought he would be regarding his hips. Maybe time for him to get some healing time. If its his hips that is very concerning.
If they blow a double digit lead in the last 19-20 games good chance they are a banged up group and will get beat R1.
I have no issues rotating them every other game but Greer had one of his better games last night. Beginning to think Paulo requesting a trade has the coach and GM not
enamored with Lauko.

You’re basically playing every other day from here on out.
Look at all those Saturday Sunday back to backs.
That’s crazy.
I don’t want Bergeron playing in those back to backs.

Could not watch, I got ESPN'd so had to 98.5. Anyone complaining about announcers must be up in arms about Bob Beers. His analysis to my ears said one thing but reading the GDT and Post Game thread and getting the real scoop on here from some HF'ers says another. Obviously a partisan hack. Now back to your regular programming.

A few red flags appearing for the Bruins. Health is everything. They need everyone healthy.
Hathaway and Bertuzzi need some time to adjust. Speed and conditioning are needed.
Might not be a bad idea to give Lindholm and McAvoy some rest. Zboril needs some time. Call up Mike Rielly. The defense is all juggled up anyway with this rotation idea.
Work on the PP
Swayman has been a bit shaky lately.
Lauko needs some games. Play some of the kids in Providence to see what we have. Too many back to backs coming up, so be as creative has you can be.
Krejci, Bergy and Marchand need some rest time.
Might be a good idea to promote other players higher up in the rotation to build confidence.

Agree on Ekholm. Great addition for the Oilers and with a couple more smart moves in the offseason they might finally be in a position to take the next step from a good team to a genuine Cup contender.
One of the things that struck me watching the game in person in Calgary was how weary Bergeron looked for most of it. I mean the whole team was pretty awful and fatigued in that game, but Bergy in particular looked drained and made a few really basic and very uncharacteristic errors. Perhaps he is dealing with something, but it is also reality that in sporting terms he and Krejci are old. It gets ever harder for those guys to keep up the relentless NHL pace. But they are true professionals and I trust they will know best how to refresh as much as they can down this last stretch and gear up for a big postseason. Bertuzzi I am willing to give a few extra games before I make any judgments.
Swayman has some issues but they don't concern me too much at present. It's Ullmark all the way in the playoffs. If he gets injured then we'll have to deal with it and it could spell disaster but that's normal - there are a smattering of backups who have stood up and made big contributions to Cup wins, but it's rare. The team will more likely stand or fall with the fortunes of its no. 1 netminder.

Rebooting myself

Lauko should be a regular
I don’t really understand why Zboril hasn’t been in the rotation. Waste of cap space in a year you’re going to go over

I live in Metro Detroit and watch most of the Red Wings games. I know exactly what happened to Bertuzzi, hence my comments in him missing huge chunks of the season,
which easily manifests itself to not being in peak condition. He had absolutely no legs last night.

Yeah that's what I said. Thank God for the Orlov deal, this team was going nowhere.
Bruins have been outchanced 5v5 since Orlov joined the team btw,

Shit happens. They werent going to win out the rest of the regular season. Use this game as another lesson in not taking feet off of the gas. Teams are gunning for em. They'll be fine. Onwards.....

Maybe alternate them?
Bergeron is the linch pin and he’s always banged up come May.
Andrew Raycroft said that the pass Swayman made prior to the Nurse goal was bad and also what he needs to work on with Goalie Bob today.
Jaffe thinks this loss is a good reminder to the guys they need to play a complete game.
