vs.CGY 3/5/2015

[Ferm Sheller]

Might as well get this started and on the face of the main board as a reminder of something to look forward to during yet another cold, snowy winter week.  Thursday at 7:00 PM game against the Flames from the Garden.  Let's grab a couple more points as we all grab a couple more pints.

 

[LogansDad]

I really hope somebody fired whoever schedules games for the NHL this year.  WTF is this five days between games bullshit all of a sudden?

 

[TFP]

I read the last line of the OP as "let's grab a couple more pints". I'm ok with both interpretations.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Fixed the OP so that it's now a win-win.

 

[McDrew]

So now that we know what the roster changes are, any idea at lineups?  Is Campbell still out for this one?
 
Marchand-Bergeron-Smith
Lucic-Spooner-Pastrnak
Soderberg-Eriksson-Connoly
Kelly-Paille-Talbot
 
Chara-Hamilton
Seidnberg-McQuaid
Krug-Bartkowski
 
edit: meh, had the lines right, I just think of them as trios and not two-wings-and-center

 

[cshea]

Top 2 lines the same, bottom 6 looks to shake out like this: 
 
23 - 34 - 21
20 - 25 - 68

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Hockey tonight you say?

 

[TFP]

It's Kelly - Talbot - Ferlin to start.

 

[cshea]

Did Paille just get hurt, or was that an equipment thing? 
 
NM, back out there. Must've been equipment. 

 

[cshea]

MARCHAND

 

[TSC]

Marchand sticks it in the backdoor!

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

MARSHY!

 

[cshea]

Hamilton's pass up the seam to Marchand was pretty awesome too. Set the whole thing up. 

 

[Nomar813]

Marchy!

 

[cshea]

Seidenberg to the room. 
 
Sigh. 

 

[McDrew]

HOW DID PAILLE MISS THAT?

 

[veritas]

You can take Paille out of 4th line, but you can't take the 4th line out of Paille

 

[cshea]

B's at 81% possession and climbing. Amazing Calgary is where they are. 

 

[cshea]

We've been watching it for a few years now, but Spooner's pivot shift thing when he skates at full speed is still amazing to me. Can't think of anyone else that does it. 

 

[McDrew]

Talbot gonna Talbot

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Hey now!

 

[TSC]

Pastrnak and Spooner on opposite PP's is a revelation.

WAY TO GO, MAX

 

[cshea]

It was a fun 16:00 of Max Talbot. See you in a few games. 

 

[TFP]

Hamilton's pass up the seam to Marchand was pretty awesome too. Set the whole thing up. 

That was a fantastic pass.

Overall the Bruins look excellent. Calgary is just not good.

 

[veritas]

B's at 81% possession and climbing. Amazing Calgary is where they are. 

Giordano might be more important to his team than anyone else in the league

 

[cshea]

Giordano might be more important to his team than anyone else in the league

Yep. They should hand him the Norris now. Shame he got hurt and that'll ruin his chances, but Calgary's inevitable crash and burn here should add to his resume. 

 

[TFP]

Ugh that looked like a brutal call live on Bartkowski. Anyone see a replay?

 

[Salem's Lot]

They could call that on literally every play. I'm at the game as well. Maybe it looked worse on TV. Pretty soft call from section 304.

 

[LogansDad]

Good 16 minutes and then Max Talbot happened.  
 
Early returns on this trade deadline have been awesome.

 

[TFP]

Talbot took a 2 min penalty that has had no effect on the game. I've actually been pleasantly surprised by his line.

 

[TSC]

My wife is at the gym, and I just ate a full sleeve of Oreos with whole milk.

I regret nothing.

 

[TSC]

I love LOVE this line.

 

[Nomar813]

Lucic heard you mention Oreos.

 

[TheRealness]

They are fast. Great play by the whole line.

 

[TSC]

Lucic heard you mention Oreos.

I LOL'd.

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Wut?

 

[TSC]

My god he's skilled.

 

[TheRealness]

Pastrnak keeps getting better. This line is fun to watch.

 

[TFP]

Brutal rebound by Tuukka on the Hudler goal. Just no need for it.

 

[TFP]

Honestly when Krejci comes back you can slot him in with the Swedes, bump Paille down to the 4th line with Talbot and Kelly and all of a sudden this forward lineup is pretty good.

 

[teddykgb]

Brutal rebound by Tuukka on the Hudler goal. Just no need for it.

Yeah, lousy goal. They're playing well but not helping themselves

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Oh fuck off

 

[LogansDad]

Wow, that seems like a weak call to me.

 

[cshea]

Mother of god Loui

 

[LogansDad]

I don't even wait until the 3-on-1's fail to get depressed anymore.  I give up the minute they develop.

 

[BoSoxFink]

This team just does not bury their chances

 

[LogansDad]

Dammit, Tuukka

 

[teddykgb]

Just too many penalties tonight

 

[teddykgb]

I admire spooners willingness on the puck but he's not quite Savard on those boards is he?

 

[Van Everyman]

Just too many penalties tonight
