GDT: Remembrance Day 11/10 Bruins vs. NJ Devils 7pm ET NESN, 98.5

[EverettMike]

Two awful embellishment calls tonight.

 

[missingchicklet]

Now if they would call embellishment this tight when we play the Habs we will be on a perpetual PP.

 

[smithformeragent]

stressful

Now if they would call embellishment this tight when we play the Habs we will be on a perpetual PP.

Just 4 on 4 -- they call both sides always it seems. Which doesn't make too much sense since it won't provide any incentive for the real embellishment to stop.

Embellishment rarely gets called alone. We wouldn't be on a perpetual PK. Especially when 2 minutes left in the 3rd period up 1.

 

[TP]

Get looch out there to put this one away.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Jagr might be old be he is very good at protecting the puck.

Not at all taking anything away from the Bruins' system.

But, it's absolutely nuts how average Jagr looked most nights in a Bruins uniform and how good he looks with the Devils two years older.

Just when you think you know hockey, a factoid like that pops up and puzzles you. Still a Jagr fan...and really happy to see him kicking ass well into his 40's.

 

[TCL40]

They're going to keep playing that Griffith goal because it was so embarrassing for the Devils.

 

[hubey]

Rask has looked sharp in the third.

 

[Neely08]

Take away Jagr's reach, his career would have been over years ago.

 

[Dellstrom]

15-3 shots for NJ... wow

 

[TCL40]

Just 4 on 4 -- they call both sides always it seems. Which doesn't make too much sense since it won't provide any incentive for the real embellishment to stop.

I think Embelishment should cancel out the other side's penty or it should be a double minor.

 

[alg363636]

15-3 shots for NJ... wow

we almost laid an egg in the third - team needs to buy Rask dinner

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Take away Jagr's reach, his career would have been over years ago.

I guess.

I don't think he should be faulted for making tremendous use of his assets, however. You can put any other 40 whatever in the world out on the ice that has the same size and strength...but he still wouldn't look like Jagr. The guy is still an incredibly smart, effective hockey player...at least in the offensive end.

 

[SerenityRick]

I swear to God.. the only time I ever see embellishment called is when it's against the Bruins. It's maddening.

 

[BGIGZ]

5th in a row

 

[sooshii]

Me: Griffith's cute.
Hubby: His mother still wipes his ass.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

5 in a row.

Great.

 

[Over the volcano]

5th in a row

Undefeated with morrow in the line up!

 

[missingchicklet]

Solid win. Two more points! Tuukka made some great saves tonight.

 

[Patrice Krejci*]

Habs had two calls in a game recently. Not that thats a shock.

 

[TCL40]

Seids did a nice job running the clock out.

This was a weird win-they looked good at some points and flat at others.

The Griffith goal was awesome. Bergy line and Yeti line looked good. Krug looks like he needs some games to get back into a rhythm. Morrow is looking pretty good.

 

[Replicator]

so, why exactly did Claude give NJ a second time out?

 

[Neely08]

I guess.

I don't think he should be faulted for making tremendous use of his assets, however. You can put any other 40 whatever in the world out on the ice that has the same size and strength...but he still wouldn't look like Jagr. The guy is still an incredibly smart, effective hockey player...at least in the offensive end.

Not faulting him, the big body, skills, and reach make him what he is, or was.

But he's surviving on his reach now, b/c his legs are toast. Even when he was here, unfortunately.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

I'm really liking this stretch of games.

Not just because we're winning. Because CJ finally figured out we had many, many better options than Jordan Caron...because Tuukka is killing it...because we're finally getting a look at young players. And because, whoever was left saying "we can't win without Chara" is being proven horribly, horribly wrong.

People really need to look at what this team has accomplished in the last six or seven games. Who hasn't been busting their ass? Other than CJ doing one of his patented "Chris Kelly's got the #1 spot...no ongoing evaluation necessary" moves, I have had almost nothing to complain about in the past two weeks. And, that hasn't happened in a long, long time.
