Post-Game Talk: Round Robin #1 - Hibernation Continues - Team of Gritty 4 BRUINS 1 F

[jgatie]

The only thing I enjoyed about that was when the broadcast crew threw shade at Jack Edwards' ridiculous icing count.

[BruinsPortugal]

keep playing like that and they will all be playong nhl20 @ home. disgusting.

 

[bbfan419]

Right now, say Kase and Ritchie were ready to return. Which two come out?
-Kuhlman
-Bjork
-Studnicka
-someone on the fourth line?

Think this opinion changes as they play more of course. But curious of thoughts so far

If those two return I sit Nordstrom and one of Kuhlman or Bjork.

 

[bbfan419]

I don't understand why Butch sat Studnicka for so long. I didn't see anything really bad that would warrant a benching like that.

Butch unfortunately has a little bit of Julien in him at times.

 

[BruinsFan37]

That game put me to sleep. They had no life, then I wake up and its 3-1, yeah that about sums it up.

 

[KrejciMVP]

This game was basically a preseason game and the Bruins played like it..go all out for the reward of an extra lone change? No thanks

 

[JOKER 192]

While there is still time to get this train on the rails , the scary thing is that they look way behind the two teams they have faced so far, and those aren't even the best teams. They look slow, the D looks horrible, the offence play selection is just brutal, goal tending has been meh at best. There isn't one player you can look at that looks like he's up to speed.

Bruins don't need to go all out like the habs are at the moment.this means nothing

It's definitely not nothing. Last change matters, but reseeding after every round is big too.

Personally I say Kuhlman comes out now regardless if anyone returns or not. Kuhlman simply is not good enough every offensive chance dies when the puck goes to him

 

[bobbyorr04]

B's are just playing possum until the real playoffs start

 

[KrejciMVP]

So they get 1 less game without the last change if they get the 4 seed
Not crippling

There is the potential that Bergeron, Krejci
Marchand and especially Chara take longer to
round into PO form. They have had the equivalent of
a full offseason now. Someone like Chara can literally
lose it at age 43 here. He in particular looked slow
and lethargic. I don't think its co-incidence those
guys looked invisible at best. Halak who is up there
didn't look good either.

Ya , I get that but I don't buy that they're cruising here, they just look like they're behind.

 

[shoulders7]

Would it be ok to sit Marchand. I know it is extreme but with this kind of playing we aint winning even if we got 4 lines of Bergeron + buddies.

I think Kuhlman deserves to play, Studnicka probably as well. Not sure about Bjork.

Why? What has he done that he “deserves” to play?

 

[DarrenBanks56]

gotta do something with players tho.
2nd and 3rd lines are just not there.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Ya , I get that but I don't buy that they're cruising here, they just look like they're behind.

MTL looked like crap vs Toronto then upped the effort vs Pitt. All about what's at stake

 

[JOKER 192]

In these PO's it has never mattered less. Last change is the only advantage and that will only matter if it goes to 7 games.

 

[rfournier103]

I missed this one to work in the yard.

After reading my fellow Bruins fans’ reactions here... regretfully, I stand by my decision.

Ya, fair enough but Pittsburgh didn't look particularly sharp last night either. Lots of blown chances to put it away and Price was on last night.

I mean at one point the Habs were getting out shot 18 to 6 and had a 2 goal lead. Not sure we can compare.

Smart move, you would have not taken any satisfaction out of this one. Nothing but frustration.

It snowballs though. After round 1, they're already probably no\t getting home ice the next 2 rounds.

In these PO's it has never mattered less. Last change is the only advantage and that will only matter if it goes to 7 games.

I agree with it meaning less than ever, but it doesn't mean that it's meaningless.

 

[Paddington]

I love this guy.
