BRUINS GDT SCF GAME 1 8:24 PM - St. Louis @ BRUINS - NBC, CBC, SN(4K), TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM, NHL Radio

[BruinsBtn]

The Bruins dominated that period. St Louis had one single scoring chance and a couple screened point shots. The Bruins had 5-6 top quality chances. Tidy up the breakout and bury the chances and it's over.

 

[charliesangel]

Not scarred.

Are you scared though?

 

[Ladyfan]

I hope they shake the rust off soon.

The Blues are a big team

 

[BTO]

Dream first period for the Blues

2nd will be a nightmare.

 

[Bruinator]

How are people so confident right now??

Marchand looks like he's in pain and not playing well. Blues look sharper. Bruins need to make serious adjustments next period.

Series is obviously over.

The Bruins looked fine to me, some crap luck w that tip and posts

 

[Pia8988]

Brad f***ed up on the first goal and was pretty awful on both PPs. He has to be better, losing puck battles, fighting pucks without pressure.

 

[rfournier103]

Well... now that THAT’S over, the Bruins can come out and play some hockey in the 2nd period.

 

[NeelyOrr]

Krug had a great chance from 15 feet out. Whiff

Is there an offensive defenseman whose shots completely miss the net more than Krug?

 

[JRull86]

Or it is just his usual post 2011 Stanley Cup swoon

He's been a PPG player in the playoffs last 2 seasons...

 

[Emerz]

The Blues had exactly one scoring chance that period, it just happened to go in the net.

A lot of bad bounces that hopped right over our guys sticks.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Nowhere close to dominant.

50/50 at best. And that's not good enough when you're the better team.

Absolutely more than 50-50. All of their chances are shots from the blue line.

Rask can handle that.

 

[JOKER 192]

That was super soft but I'll take it. I just hope it's not the standard tonight

It was soft but had to be made as possession of the puck , in the offensive was gained because of it

 

[Zillah]

Wow ! Didn’t take long for this place to turn . One damn period after 11 days off only down a goal . Guess it’s all over !

 

[BTO]

I hope they shake the rust off soon.

The Blues are a big team

They will. Takes a while to get used to the pace and battle-level again. They'll elevate.

 

[Lady Rhian]

B's usually start out slow in the first game and pick it up in the second period. Praying that is the case tonight!

 

[22Brad Park]

They’ll be OK.

Need Krejci on the first PP though.

The way it’s been going PP1 is out there for about 1:30/1:40 of most of them.

He can’t be on the bench that long with the man advantage.

I agree but pp reason they made Cup with Rask so hard to say anything for me bout it.

 

[BAD BOY]

Start the second unit. Johansson coyle Krejci Cmac Grz have been superior. 63/88 way too selfish up the zone, Bergy pretty telegraphed with plays. Come on bruce

So you wanna drop Chara on the third pairing. I’m not saying I agree or disagree but that’s your plan. Right?

 

[BMC]

What does that mean?

#63 did not perform well in the 2013 Final after tearing it up in 2011. Unless he's injured or sick, his play so far tonight is a continuation of that.

 

[TD Charlie]

Marchand looks like GARBAGE.

A few piss poor decisions with the puck in his own end. Something is off with him that period, but i hope he can put it behind him

 

[LouJersey]

Is it even worth getting worked up before the inevitable game 7?

I Never get too mental until the Bruins face elimination

 

[Scotto74]

because they had 11 days off between games. expected to see some sloppy play in the 1st and to be honest I think we had way more chances and a post. they got one goal on a puck that bounced all over the zone.

to me that is a good thing because I expect us to get better and I am not sure I expect the Blues to get any better. They needed to come out and take advantage of the long layoff the Bruins had and they really didn't.

 

[charliesangel]

They need to get some of whatever ryder was smoking.

 

[22Brad Park]

F off Cherry.Bergeron had it twice

 

[BTO]

Don going on about the Blues dumping the puck in. Yes, we know. Bruins will adapt.
