I mean it makes sense, Florida was a "4 point game" as far as trying to win the division. Takes a game off the schedule and earns a 2 point edge. Giving up 2 points to TB? Who cares. Next game isn't until Saturday, against another desperate team in Washington. Sucks to give TBurculosis 2 points over them tonight but whatever

Marchand passed up a chance to shoot it as well.
Change of topic:
This is so weird I just had to post it.
Building the Hoover Dam costs 100's of lives. The first casualty was John Tierney, who met his death on Dec. 20, 1921.
Here's where it gets weird. The last person who died working on the dam was John's son, Patrick, who died exactly 14 years later on Dec. 20, 1935.
That's some crazy shite.

Scheduled loss. Silver lining is a few players had great games. Ugly is a couple guys were absolutely invisible…Marchand, Coyle, Geekie, Freddy…

My only gripe is that Marchand NEEDS to sit out for a few games...he's not helping the team right now
I don't really care where they end up in the standings, as long as they're healthy and somewhat rested before round 1

In an ideal world we win the division and play Detroit/Philly round 1

Sadly, the Bruins just don't have the offensive depth needed for the playoffs. And sitting one of their better offensive defenseman (Lohrei) doesn't help.
On a positive not, this year's squad reminds me a lot of the 2010 Bruins, a team that had zero expectations going into the playoffs, and yet, nearly made it to the Conference Finals.

I respectfully disagree. That 2010 team had Chara, Savard, Bergeron, Krejci. Not to name others.

Announcers who yap like that are awful. I turned the sound off and watched the game in silence.

I'm comparing them in terms of playoff expectations and lack of depth. The 2010 Bruins were very offensively challenged. Even more so than this year's squad.

That's why I listen to Beers and Sirott in the radio, they are a lot better to listen to.

JVR is done. Stick a fork in him.
Start Ullmark vs Washington.

Marchand needs to sit the last few games of the season. The dude is a warrior but this season is aging him as it's gone on.
I suppose you are partly correct as they scored the 2nd least amount of goals that season.
Damn things haunted
Father and son died on the same day, 14 years apart while working on Hoover Dam
Even after 81 years, stubborn myths still cling to the colossal construction effort that built Hoover Dam. But the most incredible story about the project is absolutely true.

The old man died in a flash flood,son fell to his death from an intake tower. Real weird. The article I posted has their pictures in it. Also mentions their wife/mother, who had a hard time for the rest of her days because of it. RIP

The only thing worse than losing on a U12 wraparound goal play is losing by two wraparound goals. For the most part, a decent effort tonight, especially considering the hard game played the night before. That said, just a lot of situations where we were not sharp, not handling the puck well, and no finish in front. Part of Tampa’s success in blocking our shots was because our shots took so long to get off. Also, I am sure I am not the only one who has noticed that Coyle is still taking critical faceoffs with the game on the line. What is the point of bringing up Beecher if you don’t use him in those situations?

NHL players in their mid thirties should have their minutes carefully managed throughout the season, and if they're a little banged up, then sit 'em out for a few games
Being captain doesn't make him any younger....but limited minutes and proper rest will help him

Unfortunately I can’t access Beers and Sirott here in Australia.
Does anybody know if he's legitimately carrying an injury(even if minor)? If so, I can't imgine they would make the mistake of letting an aging vet play through it heading into the playoffs.

What worries me more than losing this game is knowing that we cannot handle players like Jeannot. Maybe Maroon but if not we are in trouble. Lucic may have sunk the whole ship. I love Freddy, but he should not have to go up against the heaviest of the heavy. It's a recipe for disaster.
I think Marchand has too much on his plate with the C. Yes he's aging, yes he misses Bergeron making him better, but most of all being the C has hampered his style. He needs to be a rat to succeed and he's conflicted these days. It's a tough job. He needs some rest.
