Post-Game Talk: GAME 9 - 9 GAMES = 16 POINTS - BRUINS 4 Columbus 0

[Ladyfan]

I wonder if Ullmark's positional play and general helter shelter style last year was a result of playing behind some really poor Buffalo defenses. I think it has taken him awhile to trust Boston's structured system, thus now we are seeing a far more relaxed goalie.

Plus he has been working with Bob the goalie coach

A guy I used to work with had a small stroke and sounded similar. I hope Jack is OK.

The thing about a small stroke is that often the mind is unaffected but the connection between mind and voice gets impacted

and it shows up when you are doing play by play

that said...watch some other announcers on ESPN+ and I realize Jack is still miles better than many of them

I will allow some of the folks who hated Jake last year back into the fanclub. I'm feeling generous tonight.

After Jake's trade request lots of fans wanted him traded including me, but that doesn't mean we HATED him

I don't have much patience with any player in any sport who wants to be traded, but I'm glad they sent Butch (and his bus) packing instead of Jake

We're going to need an explanation of the Bergeron and Foligno routine lol

I don't hear home games because I am at the Garden, but IMO Jack seems a wee bit better than last month.

They have been doing this the last few games. I think they are having fun !

Crap's about to get real. 5 tough teams in a row coming up, followed by several meh teams, then TB, FLA, CAR, TB, COL, VEGAS, COL, Going to be interesting to see how they do over the next month and change.

He truly was special. I bought in pretty early but it seemed impossible that he would continue to get better and better after not making it until so much later then most. And he was so damn likable too.

Bring. Them. On

Tuesday the dreaded ESPN/TNT Curse @ PIT, NO Jack

Love the way this team plays, the attack game so much more fun to watch than the system Bruce had where you sit back on a lead. I think like Ladyfan said too, is that some players last year were playing injured, Marchand, Bergeron, Grizz and maybe even Foligno. Imagine playing a sport at the elite level while having a nagging injury, it has to have an effect on your game. Hoping the boys can stay healthy all season going forward.

 

[OV]

Looks like I missed a good one tonight.

 

[Bruinaura]

Just watched the clip of Jack and Brick talking to Monty. Jack sounds scary, but it reminds me of a couple YouTube guys, Bob and Brad. Bob was diagnosed with Ataxia which causes similar speech problems.



Anyway, I'm not getting into diagnosing him obviously. Hope all is well and I'll leave it at that.

Back to the Bruins. Yay, it's Friday and they won. Let there be goalie hugs and cookies a-plenty!

Those 5 teams have likely circled their date with the Bruins as well. Boston is the beast of the East right now.

Hampus !

Wow. 4-0 on a back to back without 46, 63 & 73...now 8-1 on the season. What a team. Someone needs to bring back the Don Sweeney "deal with it" gif

 

[KrugAvoy]

I'm scared of getting my hopes up with this team every season. Year after year I do it but I can't help it, I love them!

Yeah, someone else (probably @GahdenRinkRat ) mentioned that as well. I have no idea only know something changed with Jack and I wish him all of the best and hope he is OK

 

[TD Charlie]

The offense is coming from up and down the lineup and it’s extremely comforting. They aren’t a one trick pony. I also love that Coyle is feeling it and typically when he heats up the rest of the forwards do too.

 

[The National]

Keep rolling

 

[eightspokedb]

Love the jumping goalie hug...no doubt this one coming next
