His own player knocked Pasta into him.
That would have been bad if he was KO'd, there's no emergency goalie.

And wasn't it the guy that did the check the one that went after him?Are they seriously mad that Pasta got checked into the goalie by their own guy?
Yeah how does the goalie get to come out of the net and waffle guys and not get called?What about the rouging call on the goalie? Where's that?
Those cross-checks by Dahlin were, as Luis Tiant used to say, bool-cheet.
I was thinking the same thing throughout the game. Seemed like a lot of guys with a little extra for him.Jesus, I don’t think Bjork made many friends during his time in Boston. They’re really unloading on him today.
No one is going to want to face these guys!I don't care what seed they get in the playoffs. I just want them to stay healthy in the last few games and keep getting sharp for the post-season.
Agreed. But part of staying healthy might include avoiding the Caps in the first round.I don't care what seed they get in the playoffs. I just want them to stay healthy in the last few games and keep getting sharp for the post-season.
Bruce was asked about Jake in the post game. Said Jake has played on every line. We gave him every opportunity. Almost spat it out. Has no love for Jake.DeBrusk has looked pretty good today. They should keep him at left wing maybe? It’s funny what happens when you play natural left wings on the left wing instead of trying to force them into right wing when they obviously can’t play on that side.
I think Halak is the 3rd goalie at this point. Rask & Swayman are the 1 & 2. Rask on Monday & Swayman on Tuesday. Only time you may see Halak again is that last game in Washington. Hell they might just send Halak & Vladar on the trip.I wasn’t sure where to put this, so I’m sorry if I’m breaking protocol: taking my 10yr old to the game, on Tuesday the second of a back to back with the Devils, he’s turned into a pretty serious goalie and we’re curious who will get the start. Guessing Rask goes Monday and the last time there was a b2b Halalk got the start, hasn’t played since. Is he healthy? We’d love to see Rask or Sway, but know Rask won’t play both. What do you guys think?
I don't get it. Did Jake hook up with his wife or something?Bruce was asked about Jake in the post game. Said Jake has played on every line. We gave him every opportunity. Almost spat it out. Has no love for Jake.
I definitely think this is a part of it, but I also think one of the things about DeBrusk is that he is "good" at almost everything, but not "great" at any one thing that would set him apart in a Top 6 role. I also get the feeling (totally as an outside viewer, obviously) that there's a bit of a work ethic issue there, especially considering that he usually responds well after being benched... and if he could put forth that extra effort all the time, I think he would be a much more consistent player.I think the problem with Jake DeBrusk is that he's never had a consistent role. He keeps trying to adjust to "all 4 lines" as Bruce said, and he's unsure what the nuances of each line are because he's not getting consistency.
