Post-Game Talk: Game 70 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TUUKKA - BRUINS 2 Sons of Gritty 0 F

[BigBadBruins7708]

too many nights where Tuukka gets them the 2 points and covers up the warts on this team for my liking

 

[Krupp]

I am so happy they beat the flyers. I would love to see the two teams meet in the playoffs.

 

[Alicat]

I was asleep pretty quick after the game.

The down side is that I've now been awake since 3:00 a.m.

Same here :/

That's his job.

Some humor after a good game

My laughter,
the Devil would frighten

Kuraly's effort is always there but he belongs on the 4th line. I think Bjork has received the 'message.' Time to get him back in there.

1st line
Debrusk-Krejci-Kase
Ritchie-Coyle-Bjork
Nordstrom/Lindholm-Kuraly-Wagner

David Coyle enjoyed the birthday cookie very much

I had no internet at home last night so I couldn't post.

It’s hard to believe Rask gets overshadowed by Price when it comes to accolades. Rask is far and away a better tender. It’s not even close anymore.

Price is living of his past performances and those were over blown IMO.

 

[lopey]

Ill?

Injury?

Rest?

Injured day to day upper body.

 

[lopey]

They should absolutely let him walk, yes. Love the player. Enjoyed his time here... but they should not re-sign him.... and hopefully he leaves a Cup champion.

Would you sign him at $6M? for 4 years

 

[rank]

Does anyone remember who was with Kuraly in the playoffs last year when the “4th line was the 1st line”

 

[BMC]

I hated missing the GDT

I really, really like Jeremy Lauzon. He was fantastic and as others have mentioned could become a mainstay of the Bruins defense if he keeps developing the way he has so far.

Charlie Coyle is an animal He has really brought his play up a notch this season and if he doesn't win 7th Player it will be the crime of the century.

Rask was insane if he can keep this up who knows how far the Bruins could go?

I like Pasta with Krejci- it seemed to energize both of them and I hope Butch leaves them together.

I don't care about making it to 100 points. Or the President's Trophy. The goal is the Stanley Cup & nothing less will do.

Acciar and Nordstrom. Wags was injured

Ehhh... I don't know. It's certainly way easier to swallow both term and cap wise... So if I were to be okay with bringing him back it would be something like that.... But first, I don't think that's realistic. He can get more on the open market... And secondly... I would just prefer to spend that money up front. We have the horses on D.

winning a gold medal at the olympics.

with a team that could have had me in goal and still made the medal round

Rask stands on his head again for us, great job!
I liked Butch changing the lines, thought Pasty and Krejci looked good playing together.
Cliffy has some rust on the blades, needs to get into the rotation these last few weeks of the season so he is ready to go if we need him.
I would not mind Butch rotating the dee with a game of rest for each one.
IE rest Chara one game, then Mac, then Gryz, etc and work in Moore and Cliffy.
Is Bjork ever going to see the ice again this year?

I'd actually prefer Bruce played Lind Holm at centre and Kuraly on the wing.
They did that a few games ago and I thought it worked really well.

Yeah your probably right, he would have to give the B's a home town discount. Someone out there will pay him $7m for 6 years.

Where’s the obligatory scrapple shot?

Lindholm was a a career 50% face off man before coming to Boston. He’s slipped a little to 45% this year. Kuraly is always around 50%. That’s pretty darn good to have two guys like that on your 4th line. Nice to have a backup when they throw someone out of the face off circle.

I just noticed Halak’s contract expires before Rask’s. Halak is making $3.2......if You play him and he lights it up then you get to write a bigger check or lose maybe the best backup in the league.

He should be able to get by on $24 mil.

Tuukka was amazing last night.
We should have lost 3-2 but he took away 3 sure shots that were goals.
The Bruins should give Tuukka a cake before every game.

 

[GoBs]

Lots of negative posts for Richie
The Bruins know they need to get him up to speed because they are going to need the size on the forecheck

 

[nORRis8]

Cheered for the leafs to beat Tampa last night.
There's no amount of soap that takes that stench off.

The chemistry between Krejci and Pasta is undeniable.
