Post-Game Talk: GAME 76 - HEE HAW!!!!! - BRUINS 3 Nashville 0

[lopey]

Mike Milbury on a recent talk show stated emphatically that he would start J-SWAY in the PO's.
He doesn't like Ullmark's nonchalant personality and feels that J-SWAY is more aggressive and that's what the BRUINS need.
But, personalities aside, Monty should go with the 'hotter' goalie and he probably will.


Plus it's a little revenge on last season's disappointing 1st round of the PO's.

Like George Costanza did i do the opposite of what ever Milbury says

I cannot believe how much Pasta has grown his game. Hell, I was happy with him scoring goals and unlike some wasn't all that concerned about the rest of his game. What a gem Pasta is. I have loved that kid from his very first game here.

I also love what a leader he has become.

I loved the pasta from last nite. He played with an edge all game after getting roughed around a bit.

 

[Ladyfan]

He's been cold. Off his goal production from last year as well.

After the pre-game skate Linus practices his shot on net from in front of the bench. It would not surprise me at all to see him go for it again during a game.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

So Ullmark better be in net tomorrow, no??

 

[The don godfather]

Danton Heinen on the 1st line contributing. Who had that locked when the season started? Unbelievable.

 

[BMC]

Very happy that Charlie got a SHG, he's been cold in the scoring department lately.
Linus with the assist too- is there nothing Bruins goalies can't do????
Woodstock with 2 more points. I voted him 7th Player every day voting was open so hopefully it worked.

What happened to Justin Brazeau?? I haven't see any video, was it his back or neck?

Stay with rotation. No need to tire out either goalie. Sway needs to find his game and he wont sitting on bench

I hope Justin will be ok.

I too voted daily for Danton to win the 7th player. Usually there are a couple of players that would work but I feel Danton deserves this over all others. Who here (including those who liked him before) thought he would be this good?

[Number8]

solid roadie, entertaining tilt too, my biggest hope is Brazz injury not too serious but sure didn`t look great

Same here. Not crazy about how quickly they ruled him out for the night, either. Fingers crossed that he can cross his fingers. Looked like wrist or forearm issue. Maybe shoulder.

Either way it was a really strange play -- looked pretty innocuous at first glance.

Nah, go with Ullmark. Guy just posted a shutout.

I don't want to see them enter a rotation in the post season for this very reason. Why rotate if a goalie plays a great game 1? Get a goalie in the habit of potentially starting 2-3 straight games.

This idea of you HAVING to rotate the two is nauseating. If a guy plays lights out (and Ullmark has been since the deadline with a .950 SV%, he has more than earned a second straight start, heaven forbid.

I don't see how rewarding a goalie with a second start would be "tiring out" - If a goalie can't play two straight without being "tired" we've got bigger issues than we want to admit.

Wrist to me.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

That was a really good goalie battle. Finally a full 60 minute effort and a game close out.

Hope Brazeau is aight, really like that guy.

NESN really sucks lately though. They really need to get their broadcast together. Maybe buy some new cables. Constantly missing replays due to broadcast going black, glitch central, feel like I'm having a stroke watching it at times.

yeah.
def looked like broken wrist to me

 

[Babajingo]

Was a great game to watch. TOR style game. They definitely came out on all cylinders.
Still unsure about playoffs and the style of game they bring.

 

[KnightofBoston]

my whole life I thought it was "hee-yaw"

 

[TSBruins13]

Heinen with Pasta is a genius move….Heinen is the most composed player in the league and doesnt get flustered by pastas speed and creativity

My parents were at this game, such an awesome experience for them.

I hate the rotation idea in the playoffs. Ullmark has a 940 sv% since the break.
Id like to see Ullmark. especially after coming off a shutout.

Not saying playoffs just regular season. Then go with the hot hand. .

There's just no point in doing it in the regular season. If your plan is to ride only one goalie in the playoffs and get rid of the rotation then it makes even more sense to make sure both goalies are as fresh as possible going into the postseason by rotating them now.

I still want to see Ullmark play in Carolina. I remember him playing pretty bad there in the playoffs a couple years ago, and Id like to see how it goes tomorrow with him in net there.
If we can get out of our division and in conference finals, Im thinking it will be against Carolina again.

Whoa, slow down a little!

That's fair I guess, but the next game is Florida so really whats the difference

I'm torn. A month ago I was still firmly in the game on game off splits for the postseason. Ullmark has just been so damn good since he put his hog (ie: his NTC) on the table and said no.

Even still, the 50/50 split has a really great track record with these guys. I'm wondering if Ullmark is considered "the guy" in the playoffs, and they just have him on a shorter leash than the typical #1. I would be ok with that.

Kudos to him, making it really hard for me to argue in favor of sharing the netminding duties.

 

[bwunderlich]

What stood out to me was Coyle and Brad in the 3rd (not just the sweet shortie), they dug deep, found another gear and to these eyes, dominated the 3rd.

Keep goalie rotation. Ullmark turned himself inside out last night and a few times, seemed to get up slowly like last playoffs.

He needs to be uber-fresh.

When this team keeps their feet moving, good things happen. Stationary = bad.
