Post-Game Talk: Game 67 - THE BEAR smokes a cigar in Ybor City - BRUINS 2 Lightning 1 F
- Thread starter Fenway
- Start date
NBA fans don't like hockey because there's too much passing.It's a very exciting time to be a Bruins fan. The rest of the Boston sports fans and media who don't pay attention to the B's have no idea what they are missing.

I agree wholeheartedly. Felt like we had total control of that game the entire time. It’s a game I think we could manage against a team like Tampa every time and a game I don’t think Tampa has in them (to manage it the way we did).
Edit: also thought Sergachev for them looked absolutely terrified all game and quite frankly was awful. Seen a couple Bokts games this year and thought he started to stand out but tonight yikes
Great win. McAvoy was an absolute tank, Lauzon looks very good. If healthy, these are the D-pairs I'd like to see in the playoffs. Rotate Clifton/Moore in down the stretch for some rest as long as they can maintain the lead for first.
Also sneakily liked that third line tonight. Wouldn't mind giving it a few games and rotating Bjork/Kuhlman in on the 4th to let them get their legs going again.

Reminded me of the 3rd period's of the 1st round series vs the Leafs last year. Never in doubt.

Yeah, this forum is extremely fickle. We were still top 3 in the nhl at the time too.
Wagner plays hard every game and I'm glad he was healthy enough to play tonight because he was needed.

Very weird move by Cassidy to treat his 1st line like a 3rd line tonight. Only Nordstrom had less 5-on-5 time than Pastrnak and Marchand tonight. Wagner having four more minutes of 5-on-5 ice time than them really doesn't make sense.

Expected goals for tonight was 86%-14% in favor of Boston. Just a dominate game defensively, Tampa barely got a sniff around the Bruins net tonight. Love to see that.

So it’s looking like a Toronto- Tampa first round matchup . Even though I hate the Leafs I will be cheering for them .

At this point I won't question Cassidy as he seems to have his fingers on the pulse of the room, just think it's interesting how he utilizes his top guys compared to other coaches.
Absolutely, but all the pieces are there. Rask is playing awesome and Halak is no slouch either. I think the B's can beat anyone in the east, and could take St Louis this time around

Glad they won. That third period was nerve wracking though. Was scary watching them get pinned down in their end for big chunks of time..
Ritchie had some great shot blocks tonight. this was my first time seeing him play on tv. Pretty good stuff! I didn't notice Kase as much but I was also trying to read out of my textbook, soooooo my opinion goes only so far...

Got to give some credit to Tampa's goalie. He was very sharp tonight. For sure, the better team won tonight.

Lauzon and his type of game is going to be really needed come playoff time... So happy he has blossomed into the player he has become.

Tampa fans: Cirelli should win the Selke!!!
Cirelli lost 10 of 11 faceoffs to Bergeron. (And one to Krejci)
Also:
Sorry kid, Bergy still has it

Marchand was sick so I’m sure that played into it quite a bit too. He definitely missed some shifts mid 3rd but was back for the final 2 minutes

Lauzon is a total beast at tying up his man around the net and along the boards. He gives no space. Also like that when he shoots it's usually on goal, allowing for a potential rebound or redirect. He understands the game well. Bs are ridiculously blessed to have such an amazing d-corps. Also, I think it's no accident that young B's D develop so well with Chara at the helm on D.
