Post-Game Talk: Game 82- Today didn't happen - The REAL season begins on Thursday

[Mione134]

Thank You, Bob Cole!

I kind of enjoyed that.

This

Tuukka was laughing when he was over at the bench for breaks in the third. Big Z did give him an intense unhappy look. Chara wanted that win.

Chara has always been a warrior and hates to lose

He expects everybody to give their full effort EVERY game...win or lose...no matter what!

Tuukka was playing loosey-goosey and it showed....and the big guy didn't like it

...and I agree with big Z

Disgusted that the Bruins allowed themselves to be pushed around like that. I don’t care if the game meant anything or not, that was awful.

Aside from Pastranak; Backes; and one awesome hip check, I was disappointed in the lack of physicality today. To not retaliate when someone does you dirty on the ice sends the wrong message to EVERYONE. Your opponents; your players; your prospects; and your fans.

Hope the Bruins remember to take their mean pills on Thursday.

lack of physicality in a meaningless game? past several seasons, the bruins have lost key members to the roster on games 81 and 82. not worth it. Im just glad we are finally healthy heading into the playoffs.

Go Bruins

I only watched the first two periods and highlights of the 3rd . Another goal scored while the Bruins are on the power play ? Have to clean that up . Didn’t like the Kucherov walkthrough on Chara and Charlie and the 5th one on Rask but who cares , it was a meaningless game with half a dozen regulars out . Hopefully it is nowhere near representative of what we can expect in the playoffs.

Well it did seem that Tampa did get away with a few things but its on now versus the leafs . It should be a great series hopefully the Bruins will play a full 60 min game and be physical

Although this game made some of us worry about coming off a lousy, losing effort going into the playoffs

I'm hopeful that a loss today will leave a bad taste in their mouth, and may light a fire under the boy's asses for game one against the laffs

...trying to be optimistic

I don’t know. I think just about everyone knew this was a meaningless game . The Bruins team we saw against Columbus is the one we will see on Thursday.

The one big issue i see is the Bruins have given up 15 shorthanded goals this season. IT cant happen in the playoffs

 

[talkinaway]

Likely NYI/PIT will play both Wednesday and Thursday, as Nassau is booked Friday-Sunday. Unless PJ Masks Live! can clean up really fast on Sunday afternoon....

That’s for damn sure

 

[Boston Bandit]

Bingo. Turning point too. I forget how dirty Tampa is until we play them.

I lost faith in Blidh today.

But that is over. On to Toronto and the Babcock whining. I hope Bergeron is allowed to take a face off.

Cassidy needs to step up to the plate if this $h*t happens again and Babcock can shove it up his a$$

Go Bruins!!

 

[VanIsle]

Oh Bob Cole you will be missed from this old time hockey boy. Best of luck to whatever you do in the future .

 

[Ladyfan]

This hot and cold crap with Rask is old.You get 7 million so earn it.We had Price win Cup easy.

Tuukka has been good this year. He will be the starting net minder (rightfully so). However IF Tuukka stumbles it is a nice to have Halak there.
He also has been good this year. B's are lucky to have this option.

 

[bruinsfan1970]

I didn’t watch the game. Any concerns about Rask’s play heading into game 1 or was it “just one of those games”?

Yeah with Rask playing like that we will be one and done. I saw the highlights and I can't believe the goals he gave up from the blueline, just terrible!!!

 

[TCB]

Why was Rask playing?
Had to be his decision

Was he?

 

[Chief Nine]

Just skimmed yesterday’s GDT and all I have to say is some of the posters on this forum are a flat out embarrassment

 

[Orr Fourever]

16 more wins and we're going to have a parade. Yipee!!!

Just wait til they lose a game in the playoffs.

Well they’re not supposed to

 

[Gordoff]

Really? I recall in 2011 beating Price.

IIRC it was THOMAS not Rask but maybe I'm wrong.

 

[Gordoff]

Bingo

...it's like complaining about your meal before the waiter brings out the food

Right about now we're on the dessert part of the meal. The appetizers were good, the meal was great and hopefully the dessert will be good but the last time we burned our lips on the ice cream.

Sorry, I couldn't resist...lol

Yeah, it's too bad he didn't play at all in that Stanley Cup winning run IIRC... But, it's nice that he hoisted the cup.
