Post-Game Talk: GAME 64 - Oilers 2 BRUINS 1 F/OT - B's now have 15 loser points

[bruins19]

Thomas Nosek was a 4th line center who was good defensively and could win faceoffs (7th in the league last year). They let him leave for a minimal salary when they were already losing Bergeron.

Still don’t understand letting him go.

Fell asleep in the 3rd, thought they played well. Man I like Linus.

 

[Gee Wally]

Tough loss to take. They actually played pretty good.

I look at games in groups. The last 10-15 games have been, overall, not good. Sure I’m happy that they took 3/4 points on a back to back against tough opponents but last night showed more of the same challenges they’ve been having over that time and as good as it feels to beat the bag out of Toronto, that game was an anomaly compared to recent play.

String together some more strong efforts, stop giving up late leads, and then I’ll feel better. 3/4 points on a B2B and destroying Toronto is nothing more than a hit of dopamine unless they build on it and improve.

Wow 15 loser points, I don't think I have ever seen this before.

Is this a new record?

 

[bobber]

Thought the Bruins played well against the Oilers who have a lot of skilled speedy forwards. Bruins defended well. You can see the need for more scoring at the deadline. Hard to compete in OT against a team like the Oilers with McD whipping around. Good thing there is no 3 on 3 in the play offs.

 

[Eddie Munson]

Wow 15 loser points, I don't think I have ever seen this before.

Is this a new record?

Boston had 30 OT appearances in 03-04. I think we're at 23 OT appearances this year?

Is this a new record?

I think so

It’s probably a good thing because they are good and at times very good but not great

They don’t blow so many leads abd chop those loser points they would be first overall which would be insane because I’m not sure they could beat a lower seed in the playoffs

 

[Bruinfanatic]

At least they got a point. If it is going to be the Leafs, definitely want game 7 at TD.

Yes because they have done so well at home in game 7’s.Lately

He was a great 4th line center. It would have been nice to keep him.

I love Linus. He looked sad last night.

Eh lucky goal to tie the game. They played a good game. We do need a faceoff centre for crucial own end draws

Florida is gonna be tough to catch now.

Im ok playing Toronto. We match up well against them. Not a hard forechecking team

 

[TD Charlie]

They played well enough through 60 last night that as a stand alone game I don’t worry about the loss or surrendering a 6-5 goal

as soon as i factor in the season on the whole, and how they have been hilariously bad at hanging onto a lead in the final minutes, all goes to hell in a hand basket again.

Nobody wins a battle in the final minutes. Nobody can win a faceoff. Nobody can do anything other than panic. It looks like children chasing professionals once we get to 6 on 5. They are that lost out there.

Yeh sign me up for the Laffs. Would rather them than Tampa, Detroit, Isles....Hopefully someone knocks off florida round 1 and the Bruins go from there.

RNH got his stick in there on the backcheck, which helped push it wide. If Heinen was RH, that probably goes in.

He should have kept it on his backhand and shot it. Decreases his angle some but ensures that he could get the shot off clean.

Yep. RNH made a nice play but Heinen has to get a clean shot towards goal there. He had to know that he had a guy bearing down on him. Just a quick backhand swipe would've been a better play.

Morning Bru guys said pretty much what I said last night. Great game, great team structure, and this one mostly hurts because of all the ones before it. But if this was month 1 we'd all mostly be fine.

The way they neutralized McDavid for most of that game was really what stands out. I'll be curious to see what Sweeney does next, and what the Leafs game is like tomorrow.

Imagine this place Thursday night, trade deadline eve, and Jake is scratched

 

[goldnblack]

Btw I thought that was Lohrei's best defensive game all year. Cut his mistakes way down, and this during a ton of ice.

Only thing i can say is i had s stroke when he lost his balance lol.

If Coyle wins that draw in our zone late in the game, the outcome would have been a win.
He lost that draw so clean to LD.
This is an area the B's need to improve on.
Better luck next time.

your assuming he doesn`t get moved today

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

How many 1 goal leads has this team blown in the last 3-4mins this season?

How many empty net goals have the scored? Seems they get stuck in their zone whenever the goalies pulled.

Becoming a sick joke that needs to be addressed.

haha I just think the drama of a the Thursday night scratch is more fun, but then nothing happens till noon Friday

Getting worried about Brad he just doesn’t seem right,and he is constantly getting rocked with hits ,I think he may need to change his style,cutdown on the dangling,move the puck earlier,shoot more something.
