12/15 Bruins @ Islanders

[Curt S Loew]

Islanders are playing well. Let's stop that.

 

[Preacher]

I’m going to bed shortly. I’m going to wake up, go for a run, make breakfast with mimosas, and watch the Bruins stomp the Islanders.

 

[barclay]

That sounds ike a really, really good plan

 

[cshea]

Poitras out tonight, planned maintenance. Monty said he was still making lineup decisions but this was how they lined up this morning:

Heinen - Geekie - Pastrnak
Marchand - Coyle - DeBrusk
van Riemsdyk - Frederic - Boqvist
Lauko - Beecher - Steen

Lindholm - Mitchell
Grzelyck - Carlo
Lohrei - Shattenkirk

Ullmark

 

[TSC]

The game just started, and Jack already sounds like shit. Unfinished thoughts. A delay in speech. Behind the play.

His deterioration is really concerning.

Absolutely.

I don’t know if you’ve ever met him, but if you haven’t, he’s a really good dude. I’m just hoping it’s a speech issue that he’s working through, and not something more serious.

 

[Cotillion]

That Ullmark stop was huge.

 

[TSC]

Absolutely.

I don’t know if you’ve ever met him, but if you haven’t, he’s a really good dude. I’m just hoping it’s a speech issue that he’s working through, and not something more serious.

I’ve not, but I’ve always been a Jack fan.

He’s a homer, but he’s our homer.

It makes me sad.

 

[barclay]

Jake has been playing well. Time for him to pot one.

 

[Cotillion]

I’ve not, but I’ve always been a Jack fan.

He’s a homer, but he’s our homer.

It makes me sad.

I’ve actually never been a fan of him cause he has a tendency to over react on some things.

For this reason I tend to watch the other team announcers whenever I can (or when forced due to having to watch a stream)…

And…

His homerism is way blown out of proportion due to how he gets overly excited on some takes but often at moments when things have actually happened.
There are many other announcing teams that are horrible homers to point of never admitting when their team did something wrong.
Jack will actually call out penalties or bad plays far more often than the homerism label would make you think. Especially compared to other announce crews.

edit - they just stay more even keel instead of yelling like Jack does.

Pregame was brutal. Feel really bad for him

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Pregame was brutal. Feel really bad for him

I blame NESN for putting him out there in this condition.

PS. What’s with the empty seats? Bruins in town. Friday night. Isles doing well of late.

 

[The Mort Report]

um what is that call?

 

[The Napkin]

lol. sure.

 

[barclay]

So its gonna be that kind of game, eh?

 

[Cotillion]

Damn Heinen almost had something

 

[TFP]

It's sad. I can't watch games on NESN with the sound on anymore. It's too distracting and ruins the game for me. Which sucks because it's hard to watch hockey without the announcer to guide you. Don't blame him as obviously there's an issue there but I absolutely blame NESN.

 

[Cotillion]

Damn Frederick did some work on that PK

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

LINU$

 

[Cotillion]

ULLY!!

 

[The Napkin]

They're all mourning the lack McAvoy. He's from Long Island you know...

 

[ColdSoxPack]

They're all mourning the lack McAvoy. He's from Long Island you know...

As am I.

 

[daburgaman]

God - the nesn 360 app is horrible. Watching on my roku tv. Every time the game goes to a tv timeout, the app just continues to loop commercials. It never comes back to the game. I literally have to go back to the Roku Home Screen and log back in. I don’t understand how nesn charges people $40
A month for this.

 

[The Mort Report]

Ugh

 

[Preacher]

Fuck

 

[Jordu]

Five Bruins standing still.

 

[The Mort Report]

Monty has to do something about how long these guys stay on the ice. It's been driving me nuts all season

 

[Preacher]

How is that icing?

 

[barclay]

I'm getting the impression that there term "icing" is not in these particular ref's vocabulary as far as it relates to the Bruins

It's up to 40 now? That's crazy. It's really a horrible product. Like all things NESN.

 

[Jordu]

Bad passes, losing board battles, generating no offense. Ullmark keeping them in the game by himself.

 

[TFP]

It's up to 40 now? That's crazy. It's really a horrible product. Like all things NESN.

It's still $30 but the point holds.

 

[TSC]

Jesus what a dumb attempt by Shittenkirk.

 

[Preacher]

That was dumb.

 

[catomatic]

Thattenhurt too.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Good lord, these guys are sleepwalking and getting dominated. Is it Thanksgiving weekend again?

 

[Foxy42]

Shattenkirk. Not an NHL player.

 

[Salem's Lot]

The one thing you could not fucking do considering the lineup we’re working with tonight.

 

[The Napkin]

Gotta get one hwre

 

[Salem's Lot]

Good lord, these guys are sleepwalking and getting dominated. Is it Thanksgiving weekend again?

They’re not sleepwalking. They’re missing two of their best players and it’s showing.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

FUCK YEAH!

 

[The Napkin]

HUGE

 

[TSC]

WHAT A FUCKING SEQUENCE

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

What an incredible save

 

[Salem's Lot]

Oh my god what a save.

 

[Salem's Lot]

HOLY FUCK!

 

[Preacher]

Ullmark with a blade save.

 

[Murby]

Holy moly Linus!!!!!!

 

[The Napkin]

I should have made fun of Geekie 3 weeks ago

 

[Jordu]

An impossible save followed by a huge goal by a fourth-liner. Beautiful
