Post-Game Talk: Game 72 - B's lose in OT but WE'RE IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!!! - Blues 2 BRUINS 1 F/OT

[JCRO]

12 games without Bergeron they've lost 2 in regulation.

That is impressive.

Although, I’d like to see the face off numbers. Those can’t be pretty

 

[sleepyh]

Forgive me if I'm wrong, I missed almost the entire game because of work, but it looked like Killer did nothing after that Krejci hit? I mentioned this a few games ago, to no response, but I'm not sure he can fight anymore, because of his shoulder injuries, etc? Anyone else hear anything about this? I thought I read about it sometime ago..

I'm to the point where it's kind of aggravating that Gallant has practically been handed the trophy. I mean, I get it... But Cassidy has been impressive and I'm leaning toward even more so than Gallant.

Vegas started with a lot of talent. It's not like it's some misfit team of 3rd-4th liners and bottom pairing defenseman. Also, starting with a Stanley Cup winning goaltender helps.

The Blues were playing as hard as they possibly could because they are desperate to make it into the playoffs. The Bs were missing a whole host of star players and other key players. I don't think some folks realize how much it affects the D when you have so may guys playing above where they are supposed to play. Krug and McAvoy out alone affects so much in all three zones. Those are two great puck movers. Missing the best defender and captain makes it tough in the D zone. Dobby played his heart out. He made several ridiculous saves that were phenomenal. That last goal he was totally shielded because Gryz simply made a really poor play and allowed the Blue to use him to shield Dobby's line of sight. Getting a point tonight on the road with all the circumstances at play is fine. It's crazy to think how much talent is missing, yet the team is still competitive and getting points.

Things happen. We're in the playoffs. Nobody thought we'd be this good. Nobody expected this. We continue to grind it out and be in it despite the injuries. Learning experiences for the young guys too.

Pierre:

“Jaden, you guys are fighting for your playoff life, and you needed OT to beat a Boston team missing 7 players.”

“How did you do it?”

My favorite NBC guy by a long shot

 

[Sheppy]

I’ll take a point out of any game the Bruins don’t have Bergeron, McAvoy, Nash, Krug, Chara, DeBrusk, Backes.

I was getting a little worked up because I thought St Louis was taking some liberties and putting a little extra on their hits to an already injury depleted line up. I just wanted to see more of a “don’t f*** with us” attitude after the Krejci hit, but they kind of just died out.

 

[TCL40]

Cassidy deserves serious Jack Adams consideration. Getting anything out of these games vs teams that have to have these points is impressive. Results.

I would vote for him. Everyone says Gallant has it in the bag but any coach that can lose this many top players and still win games deserves the award. This is the sign of a good coach.

I hope we Get Krug back Friday because this team missed him.

Team needs all the other wounded but given they all stayed in Boston I figure Krug is all we can hope for.

Hope Krejci is okay. Schenn should get a call with DOPS but I won’t hold my breath.

Dobby was good. Miller was good. Nice to see Donato get a goal and this game was probably a good experience for him,

Bruins are playoff bound!

 

[crimsonace]

I seriously doubt the Blues even win this game if the proper call was made on the Krejci head check. Five minute PP and the Blues have to play without a top 3 forward for half the game.

I don't disagree, but hen again, the Bruins' lone goal was a freaky bounce off the referee's butt, so it might be a wash in the end.

"Pierre, I just hope Armstrong is as good as Sweeney at bailing out a sinking ship."

Tampa clinches the spot the other day and they threw a ****ing parade for them.

The B’s clinch and it gets totally downplayed.

Radio will be like oh the Bruins are in now let’s cry about Gronk and get pissed at Kyrie getting a second opinion on his knee

 

[Lord Ahriman]

I don't mind losing a point to a good team, but I'm really pissed these a****** referees and their double standards.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

To the poster who asked earlier what was wrong with the goals.

Schwartz has a good shot, but Doby got beat twice on wrist shots from the top of the circles. NHL goalies should stop those shots. The second goal was worse after I saw the replay.

Other than that he was great.

I read here all the time about how Rask was great in a game and kept the B’s in it, but should have stopped a couple.

I can’t say that about Doby?

 

[DarrenBanks56]

Great point. Was that ugly to watch.
Thanks to dobby for getting that point.

4th line gives up alot of goals though.

Still incredible we are getting points with this lineup.

 

[Alberta_OReilly_Fan]

I can't believe how ****ing miserable some people here are.

They're missing Bergeron, Chara, McAvoy, Krug, Backes, DeBrusk and Nash. It's amazing they didn't get run out of the building

Agreed... sad to say some fans dont deserve this team if thats their capacity to be supportive

But...

I still tell them the bandwagon is now taking on jumpers. Theres a hell of a good chance we will be celebrating in june. The good seats are going quick

Really should try to get on board now if you want to feel part of the party at the end of this ride

The team has earnt our support with one hell of a good season to date and the best yet to come

 

[Alicat]

Seeing that hit pisses me off

 

[trenton1]

The Blues only had 20 shots? Holy shit they suck.

 

[crimsonace]

Forgive me if I'm wrong, I missed almost the entire game because of work, but it looked like Killer did nothing after that Krejci hit? I mentioned this a few games ago, to no response, but I'm not sure he can fight anymore, because of his shoulder injuries, etc? Anyone else hear anything about this? I thought I read about it sometime ago..

The other thing to think about is understanding the game situation. With 3 of the team's top 4 D in the press box (or in Boston), Killer *needs* to be on the ice. You might be able to sacrifice a 4th line forward for five minutes, but taking him off the ice for five minutes would be critical.

 

[Grimey]

I just want our team healthy for the playoffs, amazed we're doing better than most healthy teams with many significant pieces out.



f*** Schenn.

I yhought he shouldve had both. But he made that huge save at the end to secure a point.

 

[TD Charlie]

Roenick actually just said “schenn did not lift up on that hit.” I need to go to sleep

 

[crimsonace]

The Blues only had 20 shots? Holy **** they suck.

Give the Bruins' defense credit. Thought that, especially as shorthanded as they were, they played a really intelligent, simple game - the typical "good road game."

 

[Grimey]

Laughed pretty hard haha
