Just 1 page the morning after a loss?

Post-Game Talk: Game 79 - Whalercanes 4 BRUINS 1
- Thread starter Fenway
- Start date
We get goaltending like last evening we won't win a game. Zero margin for error
Charlie McAvoy can't carry the team on his back but what a fing stud this kid is. Most underrated player in the League.
No top defenseman in the NHL has the burden he has.
Ullmark will have to win at least one for us. I think its the Tampa series. We need stellar goalies
Though I have been preaching rotation for the PO'S, at this point I go with Ullmark to start until he loses. Swayman hasn't looked right since the ALL-STAR game.

B's will play Tampa first and comparing top players with Lightning is worse.
Kucherov to Pasta
Vasilevskiy to Sway/Ullmark
Hedman to McAvoy
Then Stamkos and Point to ??
Not to put too fine of a point on it but that’s not even that bad. Not like there’s miles of daylight there.

Last night:
Pasta -3
Zacha -3
McAvoy -2
Lindholm -2
All of these players will need to be consistently good in the playoffs.

You love +/- right? Stamkos/Point/Paul are a combined -50 this year.

I'm tremendously worried about the center depth and ability to win faceoffs in a few weeks. I'm also petrified that they're going to go with the rotation in the playoffs, too.

turned this one off near the end of the 2nd, simply became bored, no injuries, that`s the positive I will take from this one

I don't get it. Zacha is at 54.8%. Beecher at 54.6%. Coyle at 51.3%. Or is this a don't care about the stats thing just worried about it happening?

For some reason, the Lightning suck at even strength this season. However, they have a lethal powerplay. The Bruins PP in comparison could give Julien's 2011 PP a run for its money.

It seems like they're rough on the dot at key moments of the game. So yeah, I'm concerned with that costing them to a degree. It seems like they go through stretches where they're fine, and stretches where they're bad. Hoping for a good stretch.
Center position will be there down fall. I honestly would not allow Coyle to take one meaningful face off. Beecher needs to be that guy

That's a good point.
It's a big reason why Tampa is a 4th place team. Without the #1 power play in the NHL they may not have made the playoffs.

I'm hoping this is a post season coming out party for Trent Frederic, too. He's pointless in 9 post season games.
Everyone wants to to post the winning %. I would rather use my eyeballs and be more focused on the power play face offs and the PK face offs. And game winning time Face offs.
Our top two guys are garbage when it matters. Let's hope it turns around in the playoffs ,I doubt it.
Our centers cause 90% of the running around that happens during games due to losing key face offs.
He better have a good playoffs or he's dead to me lol
tampa is not good if they arent on the power play. if we stay out of the box we should win.
also. shots from the point on vasi

Bruins need to be in front of Vasi all night long.
I watch because I always hope they will surprise me but have endured many disappointments over the years. Just a few Philadelphia, Montreal Canadians for many years, Chicago, St. Louis, Florida, etc. .
Should they win it this year it would really be some kind of feat.

does anyone have the 2 minutes where Jack was clearing his throat last night?
I mean to me , that was definitely the best part of the game.

the Bruins have to put either Shatty or Lorhei in the lineup if they want to improve the power play.
At this point I think we have to insert either lorhei or Shatty in for gryz. Seeing how gryz doesnt pk or PP
