3/24 - Bs vs. Panthers

[tonyandpals]

I'll give this thing a shot.

I'm watching more hockey these days than I can remember. My 6yo is wrapped up in everything Bruins right now. We watch the first period together before he goes to bed. I record Bruins in 2 (when available) and we watch the rest together before school (even though I've already watched it...) It's been a great bonding experience. He then checks the out of town scoreboard on his tablet while getting ready for school.

This morning he leaves for school and says, "I think they'll still make the playoffs." I told him if they do, I'll take him to his first playoff game, school night or not. Two points tonight would get us that much closer.

Lets hope it's 5 on 5 tonight and they can find that step they need at home.

I can't believe Claude hasn't reached a breaking point yet with the officiating the Bruins receive. There is no explanation for their differential. They've been one of the best possession teams in the league over the last 5 season, yet can't draw a penalties. Does not compute.

Today's a day of charts. I saw this one floating around Twitter too.


That doesn't look like the same team that dominated 5-on-5 for the previous 5 seasons.

The funny thing is that, despite drawing roughly infinity more penalties than anyone else in the league, Montreal is only 35-40 penalties ahead of even in differential. Meaning they have taken probably the most penalties in the league.

I guess diving encourages lazy play all around.

This thread needs more charts

Best diagram ever.

The lack of internet-sourced mathematical models about how much Tim Peel sucks is a national disgrace to both the US and Canada.

 

[LogansDad]

Maybe the problem isn't that the internet hasn't made said models, but that said said models simply cannot be made, as Tim Peel's suckitude is far too large to quantify on a plane as small as the internet.

 

[tonyandpals]

Looks like it dips slightly in the off-season. Which I highly doubt. I'd want to see the data driving this chart during that time. I'm sure his family would comment.

Best diagram ever.

I see your Wu Tang and raise you the Oh Snap Flowchart.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Looking for the Monk Chart brought me across a bunch of oldies but goodies. No monk chart though.

I still win.

Anyone want to tell the EchoStar CEO that he shouldn't appear on television while chewing gum?

 

[cshea]

Fire Clode.

Fire Clode.

+1

 

[TheRealness]

I still win.

In a landslide.

 

[cshea]

I laughed at this

 

[cshea]

Tito!

 

[cshea]

Boudreau, yikes

 

[McDrew]

OK, the Bruins did a good job on this.

 

[TheRealness]

I thought that was well done. Now kick some ass.

Large game tonight. LARGE.

I'm feeling frisky. Let's do this.

 

[cshea]

Feels like a playoff game. I like this feeling. Win so we can play these things called playoff games.

 

[cshea]

Some line juggling here

Marchand - Bergeron - Stempniak
Beleskey - Krejci - Pastrnak
Vatrano - Spooner - Eriksson
Connolly - Acciari - Hayes

 

[FelixMantilla]

Why isn't that a penalty? He grabbed the puck while it was in the crease.

EDIT: I guess he didn't actually grab it.

 

[cshea]

He swatted it out. No penalty.

 

[TheRealness]

I'm excited for Vatrano in the top 9. Hayes deserves the 4th line.

 

[cshea]

Spooner off the PP. Eriksson to the half wall, Beleskey to net-front.

 

[BoSoxFink]

Bruins can't score of late

 

[jk333]

Anyone see the Marchand injury? My feed was jumping

 

[cshea]

The PP is in playoff form. Maybe try Pastrnak somewhere?

 

[FelixMantilla]

Connolly is useless.

 

[cshea]

Brain dead, Connolly.

 

[cshea]

Frank is the man!

 

[Hector Salamanca]

 

[Kramerica Industries]

is everyone else only getting game sound? this is awesome

 

[McDrew]

Vatrano was huge on that with the puck carry followed by the jumping screen.

 

[cshea]

Amazing what a 4th line with some skill can do.

You can count me in as a Noel Acciari fan.

McQuaid got sucked into the middle of the ice again. Not good.

 

[FelixMantilla]

How many times has that happened this season?

 

[cshea]

Detroit is up 3-0 on Montreal. Need 2 points tonight.

 

[cshea]

Krejci had it on cruise control on that back check.

 

[LogansDad]

Pasta might not see the ice again for two weeks after that shift.

 

[cshea]

Ugh, don't dive like that Tuukka.

 

[LogansDad]

LOL
