Yup. They beat themselves tonight.Sad thing is, three goals should have been enough to win tonight
Very little of this is on Ullmark, look at the goals.They should’ve stuck with the goalie rotation.
I know I just didn’t want to fuck with the karma.Very little of this is on Ullmark, look at the goals.
Did someone get a match penalty at the end?Didn’t see the game and am looking at the box score. It says the Bruins had 60 (!) minutes in penalties and 10 penalties. But the Panthers only had 3 power plays. How is that possible?

Lots of late 10-minute misconducts (Forbort, Foligno, Hathaway, Frederic and Bertuzzi). They don’t affect manpower. Tack on the fact that two of Bertuzzi’s minors were matched by the Panthers and there you go.Didn’t see the game and am looking at the box score.

I see five misconduct penalties I think on Boston. But that leaves a bunch more 2 minute penalties.Lots of late 10-minute misconducts. They don’t effect manpower.
Outside the 3rd period, not really.Anyway, doesn’t matter. Seems pretty clear that through two games Florida has been the better team, yes? Not such a good thing.
It really is maddening. Hopefully we’ll get some lineup changes in game 3.Top 4 D looked terrible, they're having trouble breaking out and dealing with a heavy forecheck, so they played their worst puck moving defenseman with a month and a half of rust, and were giving PP1 time to a forward who probably shouldn't even be playing, also with a month plus of rust.
Play your best players.
He is not going to sit Krejci.Sit either Krejci or Foligno if Bergy is back.
Marchand-Bergeron-DeBrusk
Bertuzzi-Zacha-Pasta
Frederic-Coyle-Hall
Foligno-Nosek-Hathaway
or
Marchand-Bergeron-DeBrusk
Zacha-Krejci-Pasta
Hall-Coyle-Bertuzzi
Frederic-Nosek-Hathaway
If Krejci is indeed still banged up, it’s the cleanest choice than moving others around.He is not going to sit Krejci.
But will he go with Swayman?
Swayman was the goalie in the 5-2 loss down there, and gave up a few soft-ish goals.
Right. Krejci (and Pasta) needs Zacha's defensive fortitude on his line.Krejci did not look great, but part of the problem is that he and Bertuzzi are not a great pair defensively. They're slow when they don't have the puck.
That and Krejci denting the crossbar on a shot that Lyon never saw. There were obviously some horrible turnovers, but I keep coming back to the missed opportunities during the stretches when the Bs dominated possession and had the Panthers on their heels.Pasta's giant whiff at 2-2 would have changed the rest of the game dynamics as well.
if this mother fucker doesn’t start the game thread soon I’m stepping up.Who's up next on the game 3 thread?
Edit: Looks like @daburgaman had the record streak with 15, I'm next, then a few guys with 8n game streaks.
@daburgaman - you're up
Do it. He was around earlier this morning and didn't do it. Despite his good run earlier in the year, it's a bad omen to have the game thread started by someone whose heart/head clearly isn't into it.if this mother fucker doesn’t start the game thread soon I’m stepping up.
We need to forget this bullshit game 2 and start getting excited for game 3.
