I usually agree with you but in this case I think that you're being a bit unfair.
Moore hasn't played in too long and then he's thrown in against these guys who
were hungry for Bruin blood. He was a sheep against wolves Saturday night.
I put it on Butch. I don't know what Cliftons status was but if I have two guys who
were equally healthy I take the tougher to play against guy. Again, no idea if Clifton was
ready. Moore is a big finesse guy but his timing and positioning were off. You can't get
that state of readiness in practice no matter how hard the practice session.

You're right, i could be a bit unfair to him, but from what i've seen he's just kind of a nightmare when it comes to his positioning and his smarts.

Funny that we're playing Philly tomorrow:

Moore is a guy who just isn't very good. He's a good soldier and doesn't complain, but yeah, just not very good.

Give the guy a break, he has not played in awhile and then gets thrown in against Tampa.

I get that.

I think a step further on Cassidy, maybe he should be spotting these guys along the way to keep them somewhat fresh
I’m referring to Moore and Clifton

I'd be interested to know what these things were, if you've got the time to share them. Always good to get a knowledgeable perspective from behind the glass.

He pinned a Bolt early in the second period to the left of the goalie - the play had gone up the ice and the referee hovered - Ritchie was tormenting the player but he had position as he was over him Im a dominant position- the Tampa player wanted no part and Ritchie looked like he was face wash/pushing head down trying to get him to go. I was surprised the ref didn’t call Ritchie or both.

 

[DKH]

It seems Holtby plays every game for Washington.

He’s done after this year - Ilya Samsonov having a heck of a year

Seemed like they were interested in the rough stuff only against Boston's top line - which isn't such a bad strategy

Cooper hires me I will tell him how to beat Boston

But they won’t and the end result is 2020 Stanley Cup is Boston’s

You can practise all you want, but it's not the same pace as playing in a game.
Can't blame Moore, it has been too long to remember when he played before the TBay game?
I was advocating to call up Vaak or Zboril to play instead of Moore. At least they are in " game shape".

They got Marchand off his game.

That's not easy.

Good call! Great to see you posting again too!

Thank you.

Funny how the bolts beat the 1st place Bruins (on an off Bruins night), yet can't quite finish
off the last place Dead Things. I think I like our chances in a 7 game series.

You do realize the bruins have lost twice (in regulation) to the red wings this year, right?

Back to back and that same Deadwings team Beat Bruins twice too .I want Leafs to upset Tampa or force them a long 7 games myself .In sports some teams just give other teams a hard time no matter where they sit.Ask Leafs about Bruins.

 

[Lady Rhian]

Maroon is as pathetic as they come.

That he is. He better watch his back, though, as one of these days he'll tick off the wrong player and get his justice due.

Thank heavens we won't have to face that powerhouse Detroit team in the playoffs then!!! Btw....I will NEVER cheer
for the Leafs....EVER! Did I mention ever???

don't forget Maroon was more than willing to go coming fresh off the bench when Chara was at the end of his shift. but not really because he resorted to wrestling when it was actually time to square off.

Cernak is also a fraud. funny he is more than willing to rough up McAvoy...earlier in the same shift Chara had an actual reason to rough up Sergachev but when Sergachev declined Chara skated away. Yet Cernak very willing to take advantage of McAvoy.

Meanwhile...after Goodrow elbowed Kase Ritchie stepped up to go after Goodrow. Cernak had a chance to get in between Ritchie and Goodrow but instead veered off to tie up David Krejci instead. He wanted no part of Ritchie. Cernak is a huge fraud. Only tough guy he has fought in the NHL was Wilson, and Wilson destroyed him.

also, just to be clear, I loved that game and I'm not complaining. Those things just bothered me. Especially after reading everyone applaud the Lightning for adding toughness this season.

You do realize Those Dead Things have beat the B's
2/3 and until the last game 4 straight. Until that game
TB had beaten the Dead Things at least 15 straight games.

Think you should be using something like Boston
has deeper goaltending or even Stamkos's
injury will render Bolts PP weaker than B's.

Acciari did not have any speed.

You’d say different if you were the defenseman he was about to paste into the glass on the forecheck

He tries hard so it looks like his feet are moving fast but he is one of the slowest players in the league.

Where do I find those skating stats?

What stats? You just have to watch him play. I like Acciari and wish we still had him but he is not a good skater. You are new here but that was always the biggest knock on him during his time as a Bruin.
