Pre-Game Talk: SCF GAME 6 - 6/9 - It is the best of times, it is the worst of times

[Trap Jesus]

I'm 110% behind the Kuhlman decision. I like Kuhlman as a player, but this is more about mixing things up (to a reasonable degree) in a desperate situation. The 2nd line has sucked this series, it's a calculated risk to take to put a guy in that is a good skater and has shown chemistry with Krejci before. I can't help but think that putting Backes back in would have just been a decision guided too much by emotion (ie. "yes he has sucked for a long time now, and we've seen nothing to think otherwise, but maybe playing against his old team in his old building would spark something?").

I`m sure it`s killing him not to be playing but let`s be honest, this game has passed him by quickly

Maybe his plan has been to get his name engraved on the cup no matter who wins.

Trying to stay positive..

Bruins haven't lost 3 in a row since March 10 -> March 14.

*Rask hasn't lost 3 games in a row in which he started ALL SEASON.

Rask is 2-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .947 Sv% when facing elimination this season.

Bruins are undefeated in Games 6+7s this season. They have outscored their opponents 12-3 in those games.

And the first line has shown up in games 6 & 7 this year.

I have a bad feeling this might be a blowout in the wrong way, similar to clinching games like the Blues vs. Sharks, or the Hurricanes or Blue Jackets vs. us.

In these playoffs, the Bruins have only lost by 2 once (Game 4 vs. STL) and by 3 once (Game 1 vs. Toronto), but I'm particularly pessimistic about this team at the moment.

God I hope you’re wrong ,I will be turning it off early if it is the case,can’t handle watching there fans singing or players celebrating on the bench .A Bruins blow would be awesome again,but yeah at this point any Bruins win ,and if there going to lose it better be bye a goal,so I don’t have to see any Blues celebration.

 

[World of Wardlow]

It would disappointing if it ended tonight given what happened in game 5.

Yes the have and hopefully they show up big time again

This x 1,000,000.

The Blues will trade a 1 game suspension of a fourth line d-bag for a series ending injury to a Bruin 6 days a week and twice on Sunday.

As I suggested in another thread they will have to implement a mandate to start calling 5 min major + game for deliberate (or strongly suggestive of deliberate) head contact. People will change the way they play pretty quickly. If they can't, the league is doomed.

Did you guys hear there is a game tonight?

....and a game Wednesday too...

Just kind of a feeling. I really hope I'm wrong but I don't really see much fight in the Bruins at the moment. And logically speaking, I know the top 6 forwards are taking a lot of heat but out of their top 4 D, only Krug is playing well at the moment. The Blues forecheck has REALLY gotten to all the others (and obviously Chara is just beyond injured right now).

 

[prizminferno]

And they're losing the series....

Yes but play like that again and they will win. And win again.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

I just ask that the refs call the obvious penalties,on both sides especially in the offensive or defensive ends,the guy who’s hand gets touched bye a stick,or the skates gets touched and they go down in the neutral zone,I really don’t care about unless they are really blatant .
