3/1 @ANA: The Riddle of Steel

[durandal1707]

What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see their starting goalie driven to the bench, and hear the lamentation of their fanbase.

Third game in four days tonight. Dig deep and get another two points, please.

 

[Boston Brawler]

Today is my son's 5th birthday. He got a Bruins sweater in the mail from my mom. He'll wear it to bed tonight and wake up to a W.

 

[Maximus]

Keep the train rolling.

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

More points, more puns.

More please.

Go Bruins.

 

[RG33]

At the Honda with my 11 year old - LOTS of Black & Gold here. Go B’s!

 

[cshea]

Ullmark in net. No other changes.

Marchand - Bergeron - DeBrusk
Hall - Haula - Pastrnak
Frederic - Coyle - Smith
Foligno - Nosek - Froden

Reilly - McAvoy
Grzelyck - Carlo
Forbort - Clifton

Ullmark

 

[Cotillion]

What is this fight possibly about? Previous game?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

FOLIGNO with the TKO

 

[McDrew]

Balls

 

[Cotillion]

He earned that... let's see if it goes both ways for the rest of the game...

 

[The Napkin]

What is this fight possibly about? Previous game?

Gibson and Filigno had a thing back in 2017 that flared up again last month and they Filigno and Carrick fought

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Forbort's suck leads to another goal.

 

[The Napkin]

Nice clear Forbort

 

[Cotillion]

that was just a horrible sequence of passes after the goal

 

[Ferm Sheller]

YES!!!!

 

[Cotillion]

Score!!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Two-thirds of the way to the Gordie Howe hat trick for Foligno.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

The odds of Foligno scoring a goal and getting a helper in the same game must be astronomically low.

 

[joe dokes]

Carlo with an assist. Nice to see after last night's 7 goals and only 2 points from McAvoy from the defense.

 

[Cotillion]

Foligno just needs the assist right?

edit - just needed to refresh to get answer

 

[Cotillion]

Some stupid stickhandling by Marchand at his own blue line... then it just compounded from there..

 

[durandal1707]

Some stupid stickhandling by Marchand at his own blue line... then it just compounded from there..

He seems to have at least one of these dumb turnovers every year. It usually works and results in a good breakout, but when it fails it's usually very quickly in the back of the B's net.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Ugh

 

[Cotillion]

Ugh... might be one of those nights if they don't wake up...

 

[durandal1707]

Gotta wonder if the schedule has caught up to them again.

 

[RG33]

Marchand at fault for one of those goals, and shaky goaltending from Ullmark from my view — some juicy rebounds and just seems slow to react.

Bruins come out strong in the 2nd.

 

[Cotillion]

This is just absurd... back to back broken sticks and stuck in zone

 

[Cotillion]

and another...

 

[RG33]

This is obscene. Never seen 3 broken sticks like that.

 

[Scoops Bolling]

Carlo, just keep throwing shit at the net.

 

[Cotillion]

how did that get through? Goal!!!

 

[Cotillion]

Foligno got an assist on that... so there you go for the Gordie Howe Hat Trick

 

[Scoops Bolling]

Rocket!

 

[Cotillion]

There's the tie!

 

[Cotillion]

Off both Ducks... and in!!!

 

[Cotillion]

Huh... that was interference earlier when Hall did it...

 

[Cotillion]

Whew... that rebound got juicy... but huge save

 

[Cotillion]

Amazing forecheck by Hall here...

 

[Cotillion]

Froden almost gave it all away

 

[Cotillion]

Every thing but score by Pasta there on that drive...

 

[Cotillion]

Smith almost gives it away, but Ullmark saves his bacon

 

[Cotillion]

Why are we passing to from the boards to the center blue line? jeebus...and we finally get a penalty? come on... all kinds of stuff you didn't call...

 

[Scoops Bolling]

Well that sucks.

 

[Cotillion]

and that's probably game...

 

[shawnrbu]

Losers.

 

[Cotillion]

Shame... they did a lot to claw back into it... and then in final 2 minutes reverted to the first period Bruins...

 

[Diamond Don Aase]

Started with Derek Forbort’s inability to complete a routine clear, ended with Derek Forbort’s inability to complete a routine clear.

 

[shawnrbu]

Why no gentleman’s agreement for the Ducks to run out the clock and head into OT on the PP? They don’t care about the Bruins getting a point.

 

[durandal1707]

Bummer.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Started with Derek Forbort’s inability to complete a routine clear, ended with Derek Forbort’s inability to complete a routine clear.

He’s supposedly still on this team because “he’s good on the penalty kill”. I don’t know what the numbers say, but he looks like he sucks at that as well.
