Was it a great effort from Chicago or was it a great non effort from Boston...? Because what I saw last night was a AHL team losing to a AHL Team

Hey this bertuzzi guy is pretty good. I likd what I'm seeing here.
His best game for Boston and for him one of the better this year.

Count down ...
This team looks tired...give them the rest they deserve.

Easier from up here
If Hall and Foligno return in good shape there will definitely be tough roster decisions at LW if he keeps improving. You can't go out and get a 30 goal scorer then sit him.

Honestly, most of this game looked like it was played at a pre-season game pace.
I saw one team play at a pre-season pace and it wasn't the Hawks.

Panicked? No.
Worried? Yep.
Ullmark with a bad game. How will he react? He's had no reason to feel anything but supreme confidence all season. Worried about him falling off the high. By nature, goalies are head cases.
Pasta, Marchand, Krejci all terrible last night. All have been bad for a while now. Pasta still produces, but his puck possession seems to be getting worse. Maybe the salary drive is over. Marchand looks like a guy playing on two bad hips. His turnovers are even worse than Pasta's lately. Krejci could just be in his usual regular season coast. Or not.
Forbert and Clifton. If last night was a pre-season game they would be sent to Providence today. Amateur night for both of them.
McAvoy only looks good lately when the Bruins are trying to play catch up. Not good on special teams, caught up ice a lot. Was responsible for two clean breakaways last night.

This Bruin's team has made all teams look like Cup winners the last 7 games. Opponents can look great when they are playing a team who are playing their worst hockey of the year and show no life.

Marchand's looked so bad the past week or two.
Read an article about him yelling at the younger guys to keep them on their tippy toes. Maybe someone should do that to him. Brutal passes, brutal decisions. All around mess for 63 lately.

Looks like Mrazek pulled himself out of the game last night. Good on him. What is the point of a spotter if they aren't going to do their job?Taking a slapshot to the head where his mask comes off should have been a no brainer.

He also se
He also seems to be getting crushed every game with a big hit ,which is unlike him he’s usually able to avoid them most of the time ,hurting,tired less mobility something definitely not right with him.
The D has looked awful the past couple games. Tons of breakaways and odd man rushes.
Gotta figure that's a result of a lack of effort. Guys not covering for the D when they get aggressive in the O-zone. I'm not worried, given the guys are pretty fatigued and these games likely don't matter a ton, but if they keep this up they may start to develop some bad habits.
IMO, and I think most here are agreed, the solve is to get some fresh blood in the lineup; Some guys that are hungry. Lauko, Zboril, I'd call up Wagner while we have LTIR space. These guys will bring more energy to the lineup.
If Hall comes back soon as was reported, they could have 5 lines. Rest one line each game to give the guys, particularly the vets, a break.

He made a comment recently that he hasn't felt like he's where he wanted to be in terms of his recovery. I think he more than anyone else on the team should be rested for some games.
Boston BROin
Marchand makes u mad
Bruins haven't looked great for a good while now. I'd say there were some warming signs since the Calgary game where they stole a win.

I thought I had read when he came back that it was the best he had felt in years
When he came back probably, but now that he's put some solid miles on the hips they're probably aren't holding up as well as they used to.
With this group anything is possible including disappointment. They better get it together.

Worrisome because no resting in the playoffs and the physicality increases significantly in every game every shift.
That's why we need to rest him now so he can get back to feeling the way he was earlier in the year.

The biggest warning sign is when they were celebrating 100 regular season points. Is this the Canucks or the Bruins ?

Certainly weren't as hungry as Chicago - but that's understandable
Celebrating and moving on is better than pretending there's nothing there.
You can't seriously be comparing the Bruins with those arrogant Nucks who were practicing raising the Stanley Cup......I mean, you can be proud of the record without being arrogant, right? Of course they are celebrating it, why wouldn't they?

The scary thing was when the Bruins turned up the intensity, so did the Hawks and it didn't go well.
The other slightly scary thing is Sway and Ullmark have saved the bacon repeatedly all season. Lots of odd man rushes against that get totally forgotten because the saves are made.
If our goalies have an .880-.904 save percentage the Bruins better score 4+.
Defensemen should NEVER pinch with Pasta on the ice.
Our goalies have hidden a lot of warts defensively.
