To apply this afternoon game to a meaningless a team while they need to stay healthy is futileI just kinda mean that a game like this is the only way I can see them losing to Toronto and illustrates what not to do in the playoffs. - as in - Pressure T.O. and have them on their heels for half the game but fail to score because of puck-luck or Andersson playing all-world for a period, start pressing harder, but open yourself on the back-end because you're skating down-hill all game and guys (and goalie) lose focus for a play or three.
At least nobody got hurt...
I have to say if the Bruins lose home ice in round 1 this year by 1 point I will most definitely remember this game for sure. All that aside, ***t happens and move on to the next one. That's the great thing of having a 6 point cushion.losing this game to florida is something not a single one of us will remember by this time next year... no glory is won in late march.
I'm more worried about Rask getting back on track before the playoffs, he hasn't looked very good coming down the stretch to me.
...and they played as though they were just trying to get through the game with no injuries. In hindsight it would've been cool if they rested a half dozen regulars and called up (some hungry) wanna B's today. Guys who want to prove themselves like maybe Zboril and a few others. From the get go if felt to me like this was going to be a stinker.Well that sucked. At least nobody got hurt. Thats key. Coming down the stretch here. Bounce back tomorrow. No worries.
They were preparedOne of those games. To many passengers today. I think they thought it would be easy
Please start by putting Wagner back on the fourth line or so called fourth lineGlad that Bruce called out the middle of the line-up. The Bruins need the third line to start shaping up.
I wouldn’t mind staying ahead of them in points so they keep home ice advantage in the playoffs should we play them. I wouldn’t mind drafting last in the first round.Leafs lost, Bruins only need 3 pts to clinch second and home ice over the Leafs. I would not mind the Caps passing us and the Flames staying ahead so we get the best possible draft pick.
after the way they beat florida the last time they visited, and then the beatdown in sunrise, this was a total trap game.
luongo stands on his head in his personal house of horrors in probably his last start there. brouwer beats tuukka from
distance? yeah ok, sweep this one aside and move on. the key is to bounce back quick. leafs have
an easier sked and don't let them off the hook here - we need home ice.
