Anyone see Carlo get hurt ? Still not on the bench ? Maybe his shot block kept swelling? |

3 takeaways...Peeke was the team's best offensive player...scary...Maroon played well...and Roadhouse finally had a really good game...so I'll take that in this waste of 60 minutes.

The hook into the hands of Marchand (check the replay) to take the puck away on the empty netter.
Not the reason why they lost, but emblematic of the shitty refereeing in this league.
Should have been a dozen calls on the Craps tonight.

Should have been a dozen calls on the Craps tonight. B's getting hooked all 1st period, then they call a penalty on a trip on a harmless hook by Shat...horrible job by refs. |

Pasta is useless with the puck. USELESS On the final faceoff, Pasta got the puck on the boards and tried to carom the puck back to the point only to find...a Cap standing along the boards to pick off the pass. That was typical of the Bruins trying to pass before they looked and coughing up possession. Lately, they are choosing their passes...poorly. |

Meanwhile Caps go 60 minutes on their home ice in a desperation game..and get 0 penalties...right, NHL, right...and let's call the one v. B's with 14 minutes left..great job!

So now we should tank vs. Ottawa and draw Toronto instead of Tampa. Luck of the draw is a real thing.

I would rather the B's lose to the Bolts than the Leafs! I'd like to have a quiet summer! Bad enough when the Leafs win a rd. Let alone one against the B's! And for whiny bitches to be bringing up refs & the job they did when the B's could only muster 8 fucking shots in the 1st 2 periods is absolutely pathetic!

The team isn't full of crushers but they donsee a little high on their ability as rushers, so let's hope they aaren't all on the verge of being ushers |

I agree. It’s absolutely amazing with the depth on forward lines. It’s head scratcher with this lineup No one had any faith in them when they had Bergeron and Krejci as their 1 and 2. When Marchand was a rookie 2LW. After 3-0, 3-0, uh-oh. They do a good job of identifying players who can give more in their system than people think. I agree completely. And I wouldn’t be surprised if we won or lost round 1 based on the eye test. Marchand hasn’t wowed me at all of late. |

Yep, i'll take the Bolts all day long and twice on Sunday, Canadian LeRf ball washing media is hard to listen to every night, it's insane really. I'll take the TNT or ESPN announcers over Sportsnet or should i say Leafsnet, less nauseating and over the top. |

They do a good job of identifying players who can give more in their system than people think. I agree completely. And I wouldn’t be surprised if we won or lost round 1 based on the eye test. Marchand hasn’t wowed me at all of late. The only F whose game I've liked since the ASG is Zacha. He's raised his level of production to 0.88 points/game in his last 32, and raised it again to point/game territory since mid March. All that despite Pastrnak dipping; he's only 18th in point/game since then, not top 5. Marchand's only 5-15-20 in 32 games and he's -4. He's been a turnover machine, and for a guy who has the ability to change the tempo of a game with his hustle and emotional commitment, he's been awfully quiet and well-behaved. DeBrusk has been stuck below .5 points a game in the second half; he's never been able to extend a hot streak. Maybe that's a source of hope for the playoffs because even as snakebitten as he's been, he could still hit 20 for the season. Freddy's pace has dipped, when he goes quiet scoring, he seems to go quiet all around. Even the late hit last night seemed like an accident where the Cap seemed to move forward at the wrong moment and put himself in position for a square hit rather than a fly-by bump. Coyle's scoring as dipped slightly - again, it's amazing that he hasn't tanked alongside Marchand given how Brad's been playing - but his -12 just since the ASG is dire. To be fair, you gotta give some love to Heinen, Geekie and Brazeau because the secondary scoring has really stepped into the breach. In the last 13 games, Heinen's got 10 points and is +10. Throw Jesper in there. Not crazy about the way the D have played either with McAvoy -7 in the last 32 games and scoring at a reduced pace. Lindholm has been getting better, though, and Carlo's been steady enough though his modest offensive contribution is now non-existant. He has 1 point since the ASG. Grz has their best +/-. That's not good. It means they might play him in the playoffs. A lot will depend on the goalies. If they play the way they're capable of playing, I think the Bruins should take the Bolts. Tampa just doesn't have the team D they used to have, and I think Pastrnak can offset Kucherov which the depth offsets the advantage of Point and Stamkos. I think they might have an easier time with the Laffs because they've shown this year that they can score against them, have too much size for their D, and they're well set up to contain the big line by putting McAvoy and Lindholm on them all game every game. But no outcome will surprise me. Cup, 1st round sweep.... |
