Like the two elimination games they won last year?
My only issue is this core has a history of not showing up effort wise in big games. Zero effort tonight. Hopefully the next 3 games make them start giving a shit.
TONIGHT WAS NOT A BIG GAME
How bad was Brad's injury? 173

No shit. I've seen this core have effort issues in the past. They gave zero f***s tonight and that's okay, the game didn't matter. It still needs to change.
Very good:
Studnicka
Pretty good
Pasta
DeBrusk
Kuhlman
Krejci
McAvoy
Not good
Everyone else.
About the list of course.Good except for DeBrusk, the most disapointing player toningt for me. No hockey sense and losing all of the battle along the board.
I thought Lindholm was the best player on the 4th line, Nordstrom and Wagner struggled.First three shifts were great. Rest of the first period was bad. Bruins were improved in the second and third.
Krejci line was outstanding. There's going to be lots of talk about Stud but he received a lot of setups and didn't do well with them. If he plays in that spot he's gotta be better.
First goal was on Kuraly but he was really good after that. Until the shift at the end of the game, the fourth line struggled. Get Lindholm out of there.
Defense really struggled with the first pass. Chara and McAvoy were the only ones who looked good.
As for the Jackets, I thought they looked sharp. They didn't give up much. The only guy who struggled was Savard. Why do I hate Nash now?

You can say that about almost all of them.I really noticed Krug out there, and not in a good way.
These games don't mean nothing it's only a warmup, including the seeding games.Glad these next one's don't really count because we look like we need the Xtra games to tune up
Close but, No duck boats, No parade, No cup, No cigar.Like the two elimination games they won last year?
