8/25 - @ Lightning (Game 2). Let's win another game.

[tmracht]

Bad sign when Ritchie is arguably the best Bruin that period. Show up for the 2nd.

Yep. But you'll need contributions from all your lines in a deep run. Survived a horrible period with Ritchie showing why he wasn't sent to the upper deck. Now get the top lines clicking and the defense to not allow free redirects.

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

Need to win two periods here. Clean up the defense, stop letting TB gain the zone so easily. Clear their guys out of the crease.

And make crisper passes to exit the D zone.

I’d like to see possession monster Coyle in period 2, plus the Krejci line work some magic.

We all thought this series was going to be a battle. Well, here we are.

 

[cshea]

The Bruins only attempted a total of 2 shots with the 1st, 2nd and 4th lines on the ice at 5x5 that period.

As bad as it was, they did manage 5 scoring chances which is pretty good considering he limited possession.

 

[Bergs]

Another period like that and Tampa will run the Bruins out of the building. Thank Gid Bogosian’s stick broke.

In Gid we trust.

 

[RetractableRoof]

DeBrusk has had a rough period. A bit of a suicide pass got him laid out, then behind the net he caught/hugged the stick from the after whistle check and was just dropped by the Tampa guy... will be interesting to see if how he responds in the second. I thought he got quiet in the playoffs last year after teams got physical with him.

 

[durandal1707]

Better start here.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Uggggggh Krejci needed to drop that to Kase

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Nice 4 on 2 guys

 

[LogansDad]

McAvoy needs to get in front of the goalie there, not coest down next to him.

 

[LogansDad]

Pauquette's best skill is running his fucking mouth to whine at the refs.

 

[Jordu]

Bruins are winning more puck battles.

 

[Ale Xander]

Maroon's a f'ing dick. Like all the time

 

[catomatic]

Not icing

 

[cshea]

On net Wags

 

[Jordu]

Some good fourth line work.

 

[durandal1707]

Blatant hold not called

 

[The Napkin]

Hit the damn net

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Fucking Wagner. That would make Glen Wesley wince.

 

[Brand Name]

Great work by Krug to set that chance up, should be said.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Wags blew that one

 

[Bergs]

goddamnit Wagner.

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Great work by Krug to set that chance up, should be said.

Amen.

Let’s light this candle Mr B.

 

[durandal1707]

Getting looks now. Keep it up.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Dumb, dumb penalty

 

[Ale Xander]

Kuraly, wtf.

 

[Maximus]

Cheap PP for the Bolts. Need a kill here.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Boy was that a weak call.

 

[Brand Name]

What the fuck, Sean? That’s lazy at best.

What am I missing? I thought Kuch gave him a bit, but it’s mostly unaware. I’d love to be wrong, please correct me.

 

[catomatic]

League Directive received.

 

[shawnrbu]

Stay out of the box.

 

[The Napkin]

Don’t call the hook you’re staring at though

 

[Ed Hillel]

Lol ok

 

[Haunted]

LOL that call. What the hell

 

[LogansDad]

That was stupid, Sean.

 

[cshea]

Kucherov is a dink

 

[Bergs]

Fucking joke.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Not a playoff penalty.

 

[Maximus]

Don’t call the hook you’re staring at though

Exactly. Clown Show.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Cheap play by Kucherov as usual, but retaliation always gets called.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Just dropped his stick

 

[durandal1707]

Wagner got free arm tackled earlier which was far more of a penalty than that.

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

fuck off both ways

 

[Cotillion]

Either call the penalty causing the guy to retaliate or let them retaliate.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Nordstrom!

 

[Maximus]

Good kill, just a couple of chances

 

[Brand Name]

Tampa power play 0 for last 14. You wouldn’t guess it by tonight alone, would you?

 

[LogansDad]

Nordstrom is playing great.

 

[The Napkin]

Tampa getting a lot of the old Red Wing clutch and grab non-call action
