Did you forget it is a team sport? Some night some lines are better than other lines of the same team but if they get the W then that is how it is played. No player or line in NHL hockey can be 100% every game they play.I just watched the highlights, poured over the boxscore, and have a couple observations. It looks like Swayman, and the bottom six carried us. Czech line was only fair and Bergy's line was not good. (They need to rest Marchy, then maybe Bergy, but goodness knows who plays center.) It does look like Bert had a good game thank goodness...I do not like him but plenty of time to prove me wrong. Still do not like being outshot considerably by a team of snipers, but definitely a better effort than the last three.
Was watching that powerplay again and spotted something Bruins should at least try .
When the Bruins 2nd unit was out last night Krecji was parked high on the circle where Pasta usually sits.The defenceman more then one time sent him the puck and he either gave it back ,had his shot blocked or goalie saved it or missed net combo.Here is where the net front guy needs to release and slide out low to side area and give Krecji that down low option .If it is done quickly the Bruins will get 2 on 1 low because it forces that D man to think about coming away from net and if he don't do it immediately with Bruin releasing from front you have that scenario. The Bruins only try this on the other side never the side they set one timer from.I think that would open up other thing

What other websites have posted the giveaways?Hmm trust multiple websites who have the same number or go rewatch the game because someone saw 7 more giveaways than people who do this for a living did....tough choice....
Two were posted in this thread aloneWhat other websites have posted the giveaways?
TD logo on Canucks sweaters. Something weird about that...I remember him wanting to bench McAvoy after admitting only watching the highlights.
Post-Game Talk: - GAME 17 - 15-2, 10-0 at home - Who has more fun than us?
TD Gardens is named after a bank .... seems fitting because they keep banking points at home ..... let's just call TD Gardens "The Bank"! .... It's Garden. G-A-R-D-E-N. No 'S'. The "gardens" is where the duck statues are located. It's also where the Leafs sucked for a long time, before...forums.hfboards.com
I only saw the moneypuck. Moneypuck lists this years ''defensive zone giveaways'' for Grzelcyk at 11.Two were posted in this thread alone
Did not expect zacha-krejci-pasta to be that bad, but thinking back on it that line gets stuck in their own zone for extended periods of time. Also Bert-coyle-freddy line kind of defying all odds of possesion metrics here
Natural Stat Trick is the other. They have Grizz for 23 total giveaways all year.I only saw the moneypuck. Moneypuck lists this years ''defensive zone giveaways'' for Grzelcyk at 11.
Where is all this malcontent from Lauko coming from? Anything I've read was Lauko being humorous in a sarcastic way.
Hoping he sticks. Bruins need his speed and thinking he's that guy who performs better in the NHL versus AHL.
Much obliged.Natural Stat Trick is the other. They have Grizz for 23 total giveaways all year.
I’ll let the people who do this for a living do it.Much obliged.
Let's do our own count next game, Minnesota.

OkCarlo and Forbort have the least giveaways on Bruin' defense.
Seems clear the stat is just telling you what defesnmen handle the puck the least.
So much for pouring over the game logs. In fairness he could of been looking at the wrong one.Bergeron was 76% on the dot but ok dude
I'd like to read Thornton's book. Is the title of the book called "Fighting My Way To the Top" ??If you haven't read the Thornton book I would. Major philosophical difference between he and Chara on that very thing. Chara was just an outstanding captain, leader and human.

I think the primary driver behind the assessment is how Freddy's played relative to what most of us expected from him coming into the season. He has a reasonable shot to hit 20 goals, and has improved in every aspect of his game. If you think back to what you thought he might do back in September, you can make an argument for "fantastic". At this point it's really just semantics though.Clearly we differ in our definition of fantastic.
