Wow. That was a sound beating.

Just watched it on DVR. Completely dismantled the Isles. This a pretty good team.

Really wonder they do this offseason with Clifton, Vaak, and Lauzon waiting around.

It all depends on the playoffs, of course, but I think that there's a good chance that Krug will be traded this summer. Maybe for a young established middle six forward or maybe for a relatively high draft pick.

The Isles tied a franchise record for fewest shots on goal in a home game – 13. The record was set on October 31, 2000, also against Boston, but the Isles won that game 4-2.

Who was the goalie that night? Geez

Probably Kay Whitmore or a very young Raycroft. That was when Dafoe and Grahame were injured.

By no means am I downplaying them because they're offense is lethal and they're definitely going to make any series interesting..

But it looks like the same song and dance for them just like last year- They're going to rely HEAVILY on Anderson to carry them in the playoffs cause their defense is trash. And I believe they've also lost Gardner for a bit of time.

That is the thing.Media ,their fans so called experts.Nobody is giving them a chance.Bruins need to be very aware vs them cause teams with skill they have at forward and nothing to lose are dangerous .Lock down homeice then get the film out.

Bruins romp over Islanders - The Boston Globe

The second period began with a big man battle off the opening faceoff, with 6-foot-3-inch Matt Martin throwing down with 6-9 Zdeno Chara. They each landed a couple of good belts, but the match went to Chara, who finished the skirmish by dropping Martin to the ice. It appeared Martin was trying to get his squad into the game. But overall it proved a futile attempt. Nothing could put a charge into the Fish Sticks.

“I respect him,” a subdued Chara said. “He’s obviously been in the game a long time and he’s tough as nails. He is doing his job for his team. Obviously, a great job by him. He takes his job very seriously. He’s one of those guys I respect highly — it is not an easy job. He’s putting his name out there and doing whatever he can to help his team win. Good for him. Very tough. Very respected. I just wanted to give him that opportunity.”

YEP.. completely agree... if there was ever a team that deserved a punch in a mouth, it's the 2019 TBL

They are similar to the 2011 Canucks!

Crazy. Chara was in that game too. On the other side of it -- playing against Paul Coffey and the Bruins.

 

[TwineTickler]

Butch Goring, on the Islander broadcast, said Rask had a tougher workout in the warmups tonight.

May have been the only smart thing he said all night. What a dolt. Just brutal that he is a color guy for an NHL team. He shouldn't be a color guy for a team of 4 year olds.

 

[RustyBruins72]

So a question for the LF. I thought the "3rd line" was excellent last night.

Moving forward, would you keep 14 52 43 together? and then:

63 37 88
74 46 90
55/20 13 42
14 52 43

Apologies if I have the wings wrong.

Hockey reference is a phenomenal site. Easy to go down the rabbit hole and end up spending a few hours on there looking stuff up.

 

[JRull86]

I cannot recall seeing the Bruins play a better game. That was about as close to a "perfect" game as you're going to see.

I remember exactly one legitimate Islanders scoring chance.

They flat out dominated the best defensive 5v5 team in the league.

And Marchy won't let this one end:

Lovin it!!!

The game plan against those guys should be to forecheck them vigorously, strong back check and cycle unmercifully to wear them down.

I don't think the bruins players are taking them lightly. Nothing else matters especially what the opinion is on this board.

 

[Skelen]

I love the vibe this team gives off. They’re absolutely roasting each other.

That’s the sign of a tight knit group.

It's awesome to see but scares me to think Krug could be the guy to go either through trade or FA given how the kids develop in Pro. and what contract talks look like with everyone else. He's a special part of this team and very skilled despite his defensive "struggles". Hate to see his departure potentially affect the locker room.

 

[Ladyfan]

That was a lot of fun. Just an absolutely stifling defensive effort.

Glad you got to be there in person !

 

[Ladyfan]

Nice to see the foot stay on the gas after getting a lead. Great layers tonight and transition was smooth. Active sticks and support have the Isles a hard time. 2nd best game they played all year to the Tampa game.

Nice to not play from behind.

Also great to see a full 60 min game !

Pasta just adds another dimension to this team

1st line looked so good tonight. Tic tac toe.... so fast into the attack

just leave the line alone

Pasta is such a joy to have on this team. He has talent and that wonderful personality.
