I actually thought Ritchie did fine given that he had different linemates throughout the night and this was his first game with a new team. He was trying to finish his checks. He made a nice hit on Looch that inspired the team for a few mins before they went lifeless again. He made a damn nice pass from behind the net that could have resulted in a goal easily. Made a couple other nice attempts to set guys up in close but they weren't expecting it since the gameplan was apparently to shoot endless lazy wristers from distance. He did pretty well all things considered.

 

[Sheppy]

Right, he flew across the country and didn’t get in until late last night. Had one morning skate with his new team and then played ok. But already posters saying he is out of shape and not good. There are some here who won’t even give him a chance. How you can say he’s out of shape after one viewing is laughable.

This fan base can be absolutely brutal at times. Basically you have to walk on the team, score 3 goals without having any time to create chemistry with your linemate or you’re dog shit.

Next time anyone bitches about Leaf fans , they should read this thread first before making that post.

major facts

what does this make? 11 of 14 wins?

place makes me sick sometimes

 

[The National]

Krejci isn’t a defensemen I don’t expect him to make that play there. Bruce’s decision to put him and one of our weaker defenseman back there backfired.

It’s way to early to put any judgement on Ritchie. He needs to play more with his line mates before we do that.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Meh can’t win em all.

Bruins will get back on track. They were off tonight.

 

[neelynugs]

4th line looked great. that trio has to be the odds on favorite to start the playoffs
at this rate. lindholm is a scrappy little pain in the ass, really nice 12-13-14 guy.
get kase in there on thursday and let's see how that looks. lots of guys were
invisible tonight.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Jaffe can be annoying, but I can appreciate the fact that he seems the only one willing to rain on NESN’s propaganda machine.

They haven’t even discussed the game yet, and Dale’s first order of business is to “put this loss in perspective”.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Not your usual Bruins. They'll get back in gear as Dallas games are always good. Excited to see Kase get in. Calgary was a hungry team.

 

[Alicat]

Cookies and deep breaths all around tonight

krug is a pilon 5v5

 

[CDJ]

Line 4 looked good tonight so there was that. I thought they had been bad the previous few games

 

[cat400]

After the Bruins lost to the Habs in Nov. ending their blistering start, they laid an egg in Detroit and then played around .500 for next 10 games or so.

Looks like they are on the verge of doing it again.

The main thing is to start the playoffs healthy and have Rask on his “A” game.

 

[NeelyOrr]

Hard to win with only one functioning, hard-working line, especially when that line is the 4th line. Kudos to how hard that line played tonight.

 

[LouisSleigher]

Gotta love the armchair GMs already writing off Ritchie. After the deadline last year, MoJo and Coyle combined for 3 goals in 31 man-games. But we know Ritchie sucks after just one game!

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Asinine sentence.

I don’t disagree

but who sits for Kase then? Bjork maybe

 

[Sheppy]

Maybe spending two periods floating 50 foot wrist shot, cans of corn into the glove of Rittich could have also been a bit of a problem tonight, no?

 

[BAD BOY]

krug is a pilon 5v5

I can say the same for DK as well.

lindholm is a very smart player.
i like him in there

They filled up an entire Charlie Coyle thread with crying up until the playoffs, it’s so god damn tiresome

They did look pretty good. Bruce rolled them out there for almost 5 min straight towards the end there.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

This game wasn't a good example of what the Bruins can do but it stinks to see the 4th line be our best line by far. That is never a good thing.

Interestingly, the Bruins with 1 PP total in two games against Calgary.

Ritchie had a good first game. I do wish he found a fight but outside of Lucic I don't think anyone would have and Lucic should be left sleeping.

The Kuhlman criticism is somewhat valid but it is the coaches putting him in a role he cannot succeed in. He is skating hard and playing his best at least. This team has a lot of bottom six type players unfortunately.

 

[veganbruin]

Not enough effort tonight from really anyone other than the 4th line. Ritchie looks like his brother except he handles the puck like a hot potato. Not a fan.

Could have used Heinens stick/puck winning abilities tonight.

 

[UConn126]

whatever, bad games happen. Just bought a 2nd row seat to Saturday's game on Long Island, so hope they get it together by then!!
