Marchand on the failed clear? Fuck. He also should have just taken it to the corner when he was 1 on 7 on the short handed rush. Instead he got picked clean and it went the other way
Morrow and Miller ignore Burrows standing right in front of Rask.
Either one of the D needs to get healthy or they need to use Cross, AND Playoff Krejci needs to get in the lineup.

I hate everything about when Canadian teams win at home in the playoffs. They win a game and they act like they just won the Cup. Saw it in Montreal last night and just now in Ottawa
Disappointing for sure, but I didn't think they played poorly. Hopefully they get some reinforcements on Monday.
Agreed. At the same time, you know he'll take full responsibility.
What's the deal? Doth I continue for Monday's game?
Yeah, it's not really a depth issue right now.... they just had a bunch of D-men (and Krejci) get hurt at the wrong time. Which is annoying because it seemed like they spent most of the year relatively healthy.
Defensively, sure. Offensively? This team is the same as it ever was. Past the two lines, their forwards look totally outmatched. Running Kuraly/Beleskey/Schaller out there against guys like Turris and MacArthur was never going to end well.
The only thing I will say is that after watch Ottawa quick change a lot of the game to wear the Bruins D down, with about 4 minutes to go I was waiting for Cassidy to call a timeout to give the D a blow. I don't know if it would have mattered, but it couldn't have hurt.
This is the NHL in the cap era. The last two lines are always terrible. If Kuraly skates to that puck, he gets it 50% of the time and scores 10% of the time.
That play had shades of Dogman in 2013 vs the blackhawks.
Yeah. I don't want to sound like Mike from Woburn, but it seems like Boston sustains an injury in every fucking game vs Ottawa.
Someone should do something.
No, Cassidy isn't going to waste a timeout because his D may or may not be gassed and leave himself without a challenge in the last minutes. He made the clear a game or two ago.
Not calling for TFP to do it. Just trying to drunkenly create a rallying call.
Then picture the same scenario when you haven't recently sustained a spate of injuries.
There will be many momentum shifts in this series. At the end I believe the Bruins are the better team, but it will be a long tough series.
Or Ice it, expend a lot more energy flipping it over the glass then you do just firing it down the ice.
We're saying the same thing. Injuries have depleted their depth. It's a challenge they'll have to overcome. I'm still confident.
Krejci's games played as an NHL regular
82,79,75,79, 47 (lockout year), 80, 47, 72, 82
Only playoff games he missed before this series were 3 games after Richards destroyed his wrist.
Be tougher though! Lace 'em up!

I'm disappointed by the result, but not by the effort.
They're playing with 3 or 4 of their top 7 D out. They've played two games in a row with 5D for a majority of the game. They're on the road. The playoffs are hard.
Taking 1 of 2 is awesome, all things considered.
Biggest thing for this team in this round is health. If they get some of their key players back, they likely win. If not, they probably lose.
Dems da breaks.

You defend Krejci all season and this is what makes you turn on him? His playoff career should speak for itself, if he's not playing there's a good reason
I was being sarcastic, but I guess it didn't come across that way. Krejci always seems to get blamed by Bruins fans so I was joking.
Also I'm drunk so I'm sure it seemed to work better in my head
I was at Long Trail today and had my Bs jersey on. 2 people bought me beers because of it. I remember.
I think he was trying to avoud the icing, and I think that his minutes made him sloppy with the attempt to blast it off the glass.
There were mistakes that led to goals, but I don't really think that anyone deserves much shit for this loss. Two road playoff games with 5 defensemen is a pretty tall order.
I do wish they had 2 days off before the next one.
Well, FWIW, the penalty was over so although Chara's penalty was not a joy, it was hardly the direct problem in OT.
They're tied 1-1 after two road games in which they played their 7th and 8th D men & a kid playing his first two NHL games. They don't have their second line center. They lost the second game in OT.
I'll take 1-1, and I will say my prayers tonight for speedy recoveries for one or all of Krug, Krejci, Carlo and McQuaid.
