Bruins @ Blue Jackets
- Thread starter TheRealness
- Start date
I think his overall game is up from last year and I think he's been asked to take on a slightly different role. I also think he started pretty rough (short offseason seemed to wear on him) but over the last 6 weeks has been outstanding. So perhaps there's some recency bias on my part, but I think he's been a stud and I'm pretty sure the Bs feel the same way too.
But yes, we need to see some more points if he's to be a legit #1, even if the rest of his game is thereabouts.
And that's why the B's haven't retaliated. You simply can't count on these refs to not fuck that up as well.
And yeah, biggest issue I’ve seen with McAvoy is he can’t seem to find the net or get even particularly close to it.
The complete lack of a response on Bemstrom is pathetic. Looking squarely at Brett Ritchie as the eminently dispensable skater out there tonight. Say what you will about Backes (lord knows I have) but if he's dressed tonight, he's giving it to Bemstrom at some point
I am getting discouraged by the low pulse on this team. Where is the veteran leadership? If we don't win this period how much longer management wait to cut the deadwood?
John Moore of all people stepped up for a hit on Pastrnak earlier in the season. If Ritchie's playing, what is his purpose if he can't step up here?
Chara I'm willing to give a pass given he reinjured his jaw in the fight against Trenin recently.

I even said something nice about Ritchie last game but it’s s pretty indefensible that he hasn’t at least skated past and glared at Bemstrom
At some point does Neely has to address the team about the lack of response? This is embarrassing.
I tried to shoot him to the moon but Cassidy insists on giving him ice time.
The d-zone exits are so god damn bad right now. No hard stops on breakouts, tons of no-look passes, I get it's a back to back with travel but the lack of attention to detail is alarming.
It is like game #200 in the last 480 days including summer, but still

Don’t worry, they’re mad at the refs!!

Absolutely. They have a bunch of soft bottoms six forwards. You can’t tell me they couldn’t get more out of guys like Blidh, Frederic, and Studnicka then they’re getting out of stuffs like Richie. Donnie needs to do something for accountability.
