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

[goldnblack]

Was the ice bad? Seemed like a lot of whiffing and stick swinging, specially on clears. I do like that they're often taking the easy clear when it's there, even an icing.

I still find Debrusk is a very complimentary player over a core player. But potentially asking for core money.

I agree. Did he play last night?

 

[UConn126]

Any updates on Brazeau? He was really playing solid hockey, would be a bummer to lose him.

 

[Ladyfan]

So...Three home games left. Which one will have the 7th player award?

Jim Montgomery on Justin Brazeau's injury: "Upper body. We'll have more in the coming days about length and stuff. But we don't really have much besides that right now."

For me it looked like a wrist issue. and the fact that he immediately went down the tunnel and never returned makes it seem like it could potentially be a long term thing. That said, until they release something we won't know for sure.

I was thinking that....he would be ok as a 3rd liner, but this is a spot we can upgrade on....similar to Celtics moving on from Smart

I am thinking Carolina ..use the next to last game for all the awards; then the the last game is the Fan Appreciation/ Jersey's off their back game

Bruins-Predators takeaways: What we learned from Boston's 3-0 win

Here's what we learned from a well-rounded effort as the Bruins extended their Atlantic Division lead to four points over the Panthers.

I missed all the action in the third but obviously am so happy to see the boys not only won but got an ENG!! I will watch the third period this morning, I never have the will power not to peek at the score through the night.

I hope Brazeau is okay, he is so deserving of being in the playoffs after how hard he has fought to get here. I dislike Schenn even more now than I did before.

@GordonHowe I love how you used the word "mad".

It sounds English, which possibly appeals.

Actually, I nicked it from an episode of Seinfeld.

His remark was directed toward an English virgin. Played by... Jane Leeves.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Had to watch this on replay... What a game.

Wish there was a bit more finish (felt the score could have been more lopsided)... But I thought they looked in control the entire game. And I love me some Linus (I chose him to be my Centennial jersey).

I feel pretty good headed into the playoffs.

 

[goldnblack]

I agree. Did he play last night?

If we go by the eye test and the analytics, it definitely doesn't look like Jake played last night. He gave you a little better than JVR. I didn't pay too close attention to his short handed production. But that's maybe the only place he did much.

I'm willing to let him surprise me vs Florida and Carolina coming up. Definitely we don't win a round or more without him playing to his best.

Pasta going at it with Lauzon, the NHL hits leader. Fantastic.

I don't think it was a jab at Ryan O'Reilly, but Coyle's post game comments about body language and not letting your opponent see frustration when the puck isn't going in was spot-on. ROR was visibly in disbelief multiple times when Ullmark stoned him.

I know we're all biased because of the favorable final score; but either way, last night's game was why we love hockey. The pace was feverish, it was physical without head-hunting, and the goalies were going toe-to-toe, seeing who would blink first. So stick-tap to Nashville.

I don't know if anyone caught the arena playing Top Gun Anthem during the goalie hug. They should actually make that the hug's theme song. It was awesome!

does Marchand hit 400 before the end of the year??

What do you think is core money? 5+ or 6 +? Something else?

I think Monty should leave Jake with Coyle and Marchand.

Putting him with Brazeau and Freddy didn't work out.

He was looking good on unit 1 of the power play until Monty took him off. We all know the current PP1 has issues. There's a reason why unit 2 plays better. They actually shoot.

Gotta get it going now. We need good habits.

Hey pisses me off more than any other bruin. Floats most shifts. Plays when he wants to. Waste of talent. Imo.

For his sake I hope so. Will take a lot of pressure off him. He's got to be approaching one of his longest goalless droughts?

7+? Even 6.75. That would make him the 3rd highest paid Bruin. Attach term and that's pretty much a core contract for us. One you don't easily get out from under too (if it goes bad).

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

He has 2 goals in his last 20 games....

Did he not fall off a cliff (point wise) at the end of last season also?

 

[Ladyfan]

That is what I think too

 

[Ladyfan]

I hope so. Once he gets it I feel like the goals will come more easily.

I'm no stock market guru; but do keep an eye on it as I'm getting older and closer to retirement.

I read an article recently on how the Dow has come so close to hitting 40,000, but just hasn't gotten there. The analyst writing the article suggested there was a psychological aspect to it, and felt once the market finally does hit 40K, it will quickly go even higher.

I actually thought of Marchand and his seemingly endless quest to hit 400 goals. I feel the same as you - once he hits it, that burden will be off his shoulders.

Marchand showed true captain's character last night, dishing to Coyle, and coming off the ice for fresh skaters with the opponent's goalie pulled and the outcome still in question.

If one of your pending UFAs is disproportionately dependent on other players to produce or even look motivated then you pay him accordingly and that’s not north of, say, 5.5
