11/1 Grz & Marchand. Bruins @ Penguins.

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

The Bruins took care of business in Columbus.

Marchand is back (back again). And he’s on the attack, as this picture of Foligno shows:


The team is loose and having fun. Krejci and McAvoy are with the team on the roadtrip (Neither one is supposed to play against either Pitt or NYR but who knows?). Zacha is keeping the 2nd line moving. Everyone is pitching in.

Here’s the probable line up (Ullmark likely to be in net);

Marchand-Bergeron-DeBrusk
Hall-Zacha-Pastrnak
Greer-Coyle-Smith
Foligno-Nosek-Lauko
[Frederic]

Lindholm-Carlo
Forbort-Clifton
Grzlecyk-Stralman
[Zboril-McAvoy]

Ullmark
[Swayman]


Score early, score often.

Win.

This team has no chemistry!

 

[cshea]

Marchand - Bergeron - DeBrusk
Hall - Zacha - Pastrnak
Frederic - Coyle - Greer
Foligno - Nosek - Lauko

Lindholm - Carlo
Forbort - Clifton
Grzelyck - Stralman

Ullmark

Notable: It doesn't appear like Smith is with them in Pittburgh. Fluto listed Krejci as the extra F and Reilly/McAvoy on D. We'll see if there's anything transaction related going on with him or if there was an injury. He did practice yesterday.

Edit: UBI for Smith, day to day

Matt Porter reports ”Smith (upper body) day to day.”

 

[Cotillion]

That's unfortunate bounce on pretty decent defense on that rush...

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Carlo not great there.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Frak. I blinked and we're down 1-0. Didn't even see the goal.

 

[cshea]

That was on DeBrusk. Lazy back check.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Really though Carlo wyd.

 

[Cotillion]

Bruins in own zone have looked a little lost on a couple of these zone entries losing guys...

 

[Cotillion]

Taht's in!!! hope it stands

 

[cshea]

Chucky

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

Greasy goal by Coyle!

 

[Bozo Texino]

Glad I can watch the B's destroy these nerds.

 

[Mooch]

Great work by Coyle there.

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

That was set up by his wingers, nice net drive by Frederic

 

[Salem's Lot]

Coyle with 4 already. I didn’t see that coming.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Was gonna flip if they didn’t pound that home.

 

[cshea]

Sloppy

 

[Cotillion]

That was some frenetic action... no clue what Marchand was thinking skating towards Debrusk on that partial breakaway... DeBrusk looked really confused as to where to go...

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

I can’t tell if the ice is bad but pucks are hopping everywhere. Lindholm in particular seems to be fighting the puck. That’ll change.

 

[cshea]

Save the puck

 

[Cotillion]

Woohoo.... great pass!!

 

[Murby]

That was very pretty!!!! Good job Jakob!!!

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

Lauko! 16th goal scorer. Nice 3 man rush!

 

[TSC]

Foligno! With a great play!

 

[IdiotKicker]

That’s a really nice goal.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

4th line magic!

 

[Manzivino]

Glad to see Lauko get one while he’s filling in

 

[barclay]

Turns out the Bruins are pretty, pretty, pretty good. And a helluva alot of fun to watch

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Great net drive and Lauko leaves no doubt.

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

That all started with a strong shift from the 2nd line. Got Pittsburgh on their heels a bit.

love to see the 4th line chip in on O. Has to feel good for Foligno.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Anyone else watch Foligno’s Lauko’s goal in slo-mo convinced he was either gonna hit the post or go wide?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I’m sure part of this is results-based and anecdotal but they really do seem to be getting in the dirty areas in front of the net much more often. Playing like they are more willing to lose the puck as long as it means a better chance at, well, better chances. As opposed to passing it around the outside hoping for something to magically open.

 

[Bergs]

That was a pretty soft interference call, no?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Anyone else watch Foligno’s goal in slo-mo convinced he was either gonna hit the post or go wide?

It was Lauko's goal, Foligno's assist.

So no

 

[Murby]

Good things happen when Jake moves his legs.

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

PK was a little dicey but important kill. And now a gift PP. Let’s cash in here.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Hell yeah Jake

 

[Bergs]

Lindholm is good for 2 befuddling whiffs a game.

 

[Murby]

Just such a BS call. Grrr.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Is somebody going to tell McDonough that it was 4-on-4?

 

[cshea]

Ugly period defensively

 

[The Napkin]

"not much of a power play" It was 4 on 4 so, you know, no. It wasn't.

 

[scottyno]

Is there a good reason why the NHL doesn't have a challenge system for penalties? I know some are judgement calls, but one look on replay at Pasta getting shoved into Jarry would have been enough to confirm that call was garbage.

 

[RedOctober3829]

That felt like one of those periods where last year they’d be down like 2-0 or 3-1 at the end. Much different team.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

It was Lauko's goal, Foligno's assist.

So no

Oof. Corrected now.

 

[TSC]

Damn. Forbort has been good lately, losing him…is…bad.

 

[TSC]

Oof, broken play.
