Tonight was the Rask we worry about when the games are big......but we all know it is our imagination.

While Thursday was the Rask we want to see when games are big...Am I doing this right?

 

[BAD BOY]

Just beat FLA . That's all. Get back on home ice ASAP!

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Who said the game was on rask?

Read previous posts from someone who is well known to parachute in and blame Rask for anything

 

[JP Nolan]

Oh, yes, the guy who held a team with Crosby & Malkin to two goals in a four-game sweep in the conference final can't play in big games.

I saw that,,,,He did that alone.....Amazing.

 

[charliesangel]

If we win the next two in Reg we are 1st?

All has been discussed earlier. Apparently if Tampa wins their next two, the bruins will need 5 points out of 6 in their last 3 games.

See, every time someone expresses some doubt about rask, that person becomes a hater.

Or becomes a self appointed victim

This game makes me think we are going to struggle and limp our way to the playoffs for a Leafs match up that gets decided in game 82.

I would rather sit Krejci, Marchand, and a couple others then have them go into the playoffs against anyone worn down (like they are). I want a rested team (not guys who've had time off due to injury) but guys who've pretty much played most of the season. Krejci IMO is crucial as is Marchand, maybe Miller and even Krug.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

explains alot....

So does this reply!

 

[trenton1]

I think Vasilevsky was pretty lucky tonight, pucks were just kinda hitting him in scrambles.

Toronto is going to light him up.

 

[mar2kbos]

Pasta just summed up the night there...not..gonna...happen

 

[Emerz]

Not our night at all, that's a goal 9/10 times.

 

[charliesangel]

Someone ought to tell pasta he is not as good on that one timer as he thinks

 

[Dellstrom]

Just can't buy a goal tonight. It happens. Better for Rask to play poorly in a game like this.

We still control our own destiny, this is the only game we'll lose to TB. In great shape.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Not sure why the Bruins top line is getting this much ice time at this point

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

@JP Nolan

You’re completely silent about Rask until he has a bad game and then you show up to gloat. Pathetic

 

[Marcobruin]

i think that maybe some panick settling in...its just a loss true however we panic since playoffs are around the corner and we are hoping that indeed its just one game and not a preview of
Our playoff performances

They should have 3-4 days before playoffs begin so long as no more injuries occur, I want seed #1.

LOL, good one, Thats what i did when i saw that big save on goal one....

 

[charliesangel]

Ah, no.

 

[charliesangel]

Toronto is going to light him up.

If they play him.....

 

[Trap Jesus]

Frustrating game for Pasta.

 

[BAD BOY]

Well. McAvoy & Chara are trying to get their game back .. kinda hurts short term

McAvoy skating with a brace. Chara still not in game shape yet.

 

[BBB24]

See, every time someone expresses some doubt about rask, that person becomes a hater.

See, this is the 51st game he has started, it will be his 12th loss, it gets old after awhile listening to people question his game, good lord we all have bad days once in awhile. But 12 losses in 51 starts is alright by me.

 

[missingchicklet]

A quick first round if they are the top seed would be wonderful as well since that would give the team a lot of rest before round 2.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

This doesn’t even make sense.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

Was even one game this season at full strength?

In terms of injuries.

Saw the graphic after the last game I think. We've had exactly one game with the entire roster and not having someone injured. One. Game.
