The 3rd, 4th and 5th Edmonton goals were awful for Swayman. Wow those were bloddy bad. Not the best way for a goalie to start a road trip. Drop pass by Lohrei to Noodles, Grzelcyk couldn't do that in a million years. Said before, say it a million times, I'd rather live with LowRiders mistakes. Can't believe Mass. native Forslund is all the way out in Seattle calling games. JHC NESN you effing suck. Man he calls a great. Eddie O retire! Chuckie Brightlights dangle and Skinner is still up in the rafters looking for his jock. Crazy game. That was Sways worse game since he's been in the league as far as allowing that many "leaky" goals in a game. I noticed since he's been back from the ASG his rebound control & reading ability hasn't been up to snuff! 2 of his best traits that got him where he is.

"Mason Lohrei with three assists and four blocks and a team high plus-2. He rose to the occasion"
Suck on that Gold and Sweeney!

Matured, and paid for some of his past mistakes. I think the threat of someone more powerful than the DoPeS putting him on timeout was a bit if a wake up. That and his gambling debts and his divorce. He's not a kid any longer. The only thing I remember re: him being a little of the old guy in Edmonton was his comments to the media that he got in a fight becauae he wasn't getting much TOI so he figured he might as well sit on the other bench in the box. Seemed like a bit of diva coming out to complain when he was in a slump and the team was struggling. He definitely had some crybaby & brain fart moments, but that doesn't make him a "douchebag". Not when it comes to playing hockey anyways. The guy doesn't back down from anyone & I think Sweeney shitthebed everytime the guy was available & didn't snag him! From a talent perspective, maybe, but he has a long rep of being a distraction, and I am not so in love with any player as to be keen to take on the distractions. A lot of his earlier behaviour - and by earlier, I mean up to getting his contract nullified by the Sharts and ending up in Edmonton - screamed "me first" player with questionable dedication. We remember the least of these best - the whole pic with stacks of cash where he seemed to be trying to create a social media brand but there was always something it seemed. I'll say this about him - he didn't take shit from the veterans in Winnipeg and that blew back on him, but if that happened now, it would be the vets on the carpet for hazing.

"Mason Lohrei with three assists and four blocks and a team high plus-2. He rose to the occasion" Suck on that Gold and Sweeney! Yeah...boy...[looks at Lohrei's season] sure was stupid to send the kid who went 1-0-1 and -2 averaging 17:20 min in his previous 10 NHL games to the A to work out some kinks....[looks at game sheet - 0-3-3 +2 23:32...half of it in one shift at the end of the second]. I still think the plan was to let him marinate for this reason. He looked like a much more confident player. Montgomery's pre-game interview with Beers, he said that they wanted him to be more aggressive in all phases of the game, and I think that's what we saw last night.

They've been giving up 4 goals a game no matter who is in net since coming back from the ASG. Not Bruins hockey and the goalies aren't exempt from this one.

Jake with a killer game Sway redeemed himself there in the end. Mac comes up big as wellThe kiddies worked hard tonight — bravo But to some he's not elite, zam. That goal was made by an elite player, man. He's been a massive presence in these last two wins with his heady play. Aw, that whole thing was achillesgreek. I may be wrong, but I think he once said Bobby Orr was flashy but not that special and Potvin was much better.

I know McJesus was on the ice, but he sure didn't get much room to move or be a huge factor. Kinda forgot about him most of the night. Good job there boys.
(He still got 2 pts)

Lohrei did more offensively to affect the team's performance in one game than Gryz/Lindholm has done all season in any games.

I do hear you on the distraction, but I do think that came about from his teammates too! Big Buff, Wheeler & a immature Shiefelle were total dicks too & that's been proven when they treated Laine the same way pretty much! I think Lowery is an awesome leader & it shows in how the Jets are as a team now that the assholes are gone. If anyone is a douchebag it would be Wheeler. I believe that the leadership group on the B's at that time would've been able to maybe curtail some of Kanes antics instead of throwing his clothes in the shower.

Skinner always sucks…. Fawk are you ever satisfied…. Yea I can satisfied, but this isn't a place where everyone gets a trophy just for showing up! They been giving 2 & 3 goal leads all fucking season & last night was one of those rarities where it didn't bite them in the ass! Since I became an adult I look at things that yea things may have turned out in the end, but I look for ways that it isn't so difficult the next time! Like ways to make sure my team doesn't give up 3 goal leads! B’S play entire game down one d-man…. Never play game from behind…. Kill off all penalties against the most lethal pp unit in the league including one in ot, when Oilers are even more dangerous one man up…. B’S deserved this win…. Enjoy the two points and let the coach worry about what wasn’t right…. Your heart will thank you….

Weird game for Swayman, made some big saves and let in some stinkers, oh well very happy the b's weathered the storm and pulled out the victory. Too bad the B's don't have a #1 Dman though, that's whats missing........hahahahaha!!

Oilers are kinda dirty, have gotten away with a few sneaky greasy plays. They're greasy alright, especially Draisaitl, can dish it out but don't touch him, big pussy.

Like I expected... On the other hand... 37 W. Foegele 2 0 2 +3 0 5 0 1 18:54 100.0
("Voegeln" is slang for "to fuck" in German, and "Voegele" is Stuttgart area slang for "to fuck" - and since Germans sometimes pronounce a V like an F, I think the Oil's #37's grandparents may have hailed from that area. It can also mean "bird".)

You saw in this game why the Oilers, even with all their additions will not win the Cup, Principal Skinner can't handle the pressure.

So much like his always dour looking father (who used to play for f...ing Mannheim & the Cologne Sharks in his day). Big pussy, well said, Fiddy. Where's today's Cam Neely to make him go full turtle?

Too bad the B's don't have a #1 Dman though, that's whats missing........hahahahaha!! Jay Sway reminded me of Grant Fuhr last night…. Not always pretty but came out with the W on most occasions…. Winning 6-5 is worth as much as a 1-0 win in the standings….

Some personal thoughts: I remember like 3 years ago, Sandoggy was telling me (and a couple others) that we should ignore the prospect system rankings that had Bruins near the bottom. I remember thinking while I respect "the dog", when national pundits are saying doodoo but the locals are disagreeing, then I find it somewhat likely that the locals are showing a little homerism. Nothing personal, people just tend to be optimistic towards their own. Looking like Sandog was right, and we seem to have a lot of young talent either contributing or on the cusp of contributing (including Sway, throw away that game last night, but still , gotta include him in the list of "these young Bs are showing why the national system rankers were off on the Bs"). Now Lohrei has a great game.
I really hope this puts an end to any trade JDB chatter. Dont want to lose him, dont want to lose his dad.
I honestly dont think Gryz is as bad as he's made out to be on this board. I think hes a slightly below average second pairing guy and a slightly above average third pairing guy (overall average). Not great, but I dont think his presence makes us worse. Not to imply hes a lock for top 4 playoff minutes.

Winning 6-5 is worth as much as a 1-0 win in the standings…. Yep, very Fuhr like, made many big saves in high scoring games. I don't think the B's have the firepower that the Oil had to bail out Swayman like the Oilers did for Grant though.
