Bruins @ Canadiens - Game 6
- Thread starter TheRealness
- Start date
And he stayed down on his back for more than 5 seconds after giving up a rebound he had no business allowing. I like him, but his play has been inexcusable tonight.lars10 said:
I wouldn't pull Tuukka. There's nothing to be gained by doing so.
As for the lack of finish, I'm not really sure what to say. It's not something that they can make a simple adjustment on to fix. Either pucks go in or they don't. Right now they aren't. They've been one of the top offenses of the year, all you can really do is keep winning the possession battle, generating chances and hope one goes in at some point.

So average that he is leading the NHL in goals against and save percentage in the playoffs coming into this game....
He has sucked tonight, the last 2 goals at a minimum he should have handled better.
But Tuuka isn't average, and hasn't been.
They dominated large portions of that period. One lucky goal off a bouncing, no-man's land puck and a PP goal. Sometimes the puck just hates you.
I like the effort, hate the execution. A shitshow like this happens when you don't finish and you make stupid mistakes. A repeating pattern throughout this series.
Looking at that break away goal again, what the hell was Chara doing? He literally stopped himself from making any effort to disrupt that.
the third goal is on Tuukka. He should have held that initial shot which was right in his midsection. The second goal he got beat cleanly five hole and was very tentative and stuck in between. Chara was bad on the second one too but Rask should stop thatlars10 said:
A quick goal, Price shits himself, another quick one, game tying goal after Tuuka gets pulled with two minutes left, then Lucic bangs home the winner off of a rebound in OT.
Fuck these assholes, their season ends tonight.

That was not a lucky goal. That was an AWFUL goal and a backbreaking one to boot. Luck had nothing to do with it. Rask fucked up. Bad.SpacemanzGerbil said:
Whenever they have a scoring chance, their hands become stone and they tighten up. It's just sickening to watch. Everything has to be cute and set up instead of getting people in front and shooting on net. They aren't working hard enough in front getting to most rebounds and the ones they get to they can't finish on. Rask has had some soft moments too.
Barring a miracle win here, lets hope the home crowd takes any tension and indecisiveness out of their game on Wednesday

Has Price made a decent save all night? It's not like they are getting stoned by a red hot goalie.
Score early and they have a chance.

"One goal every five minutes" : 2014 B's season :: "Don't let us win tonight" : 2004 Sox season?

The sustained 5 on 5 was some of the best hockey the B's have played all series. Absolutely.
No. For a stretch it was OK. Then it dissapeared and cost us two goals.Ed Hillel said:
There is nothing positive from tge period. Passes dont count as goals. Hanging onto the puck is nice but when you lose the perios0-2 it's a horrible 20 minutes in the end.
Goal 2 he's coming out then has to back up... But the turnover and position by d was ridiculously poor... Plus chara should have got to the puck first.BoSoxFink said:
Goal 3 it got tipped 2' in front of him and then his own dman took him out...
He's not been amazing but I can't see tonite as his fault.

I like the cut of your jib.
I also like the way you think.
Sack up and let's go.
Watching the replay I thought the same thing. I mean, you hate to even think it, but what the fuck?catomatic said:
I don't think I've seen anything quite like that before.
Here's something that could have been done - Zdeno Chara could have chosen not to quit in the middle of the play.cshea said:
I wouldn't be surprised if the Bruins come out now with the same effort and less pressure since they've got nothing to lose and score goals. 3-0 is a big hill to climb though.
0 goals and Lucic missed another open net. So no.IHateDaveKerpen said:
They are not playing well. Enough with the fancy shit, shoot the goddamnpuck and crash the net. Christ.
does Thomas make those saves if this was 2011? Or does Jonathan Quick make those saves?lars10 said:
In order to win a Stanley cup, your goalie has to make those kinds of saves.
The overreactions in this thread are unreal.
If they don't win tonight (and I'm not sold that they won't), B's still close it to a 1 goal game and stifle some of Montreal's momentum going into game 7 IMO.

I said this was going 7 from the start, so this is not surprising to me. I also have no doubt the Bruins win a game 7PedroSpecialK said:

I'm on board with this.
I can see Clode lighting a fire under their asses and them getting two. Whether or not they get another with Tuukka on the bench, well...
Patches is having such an awful series that I think Chara just let him go and assumed he'd screw it up somehow.
Seriously though before that play Pacioretty might have been playing worse than any two players in this series on either team.

They were dominant for like 15:00 of that period. The first period was exponentially worse, results notwithstanding.Smiling Joe Hesketh said:

In this series, his GA is 2.62 and save % is .913. That's pretty close to league average. And, of course, save % and GA don't consider difficulty of shots faced, etc.
BoSoxFink said:
As incredible as Tim Thomas was in 2011, people forget he had some shit games. And a mostly shit series in Tampa. You can't expect your goalie to have a .940 sv% every game. Pucks are going to go in the net, and even the best goalies let in some bad goals. Tuukka is not the problem in this series, although he hasn't been at his best
It was a high lob from the Canadiens end that Tuukka went out to play, then had to retreat when the puck landed and started back spinning right to Pacioretty, leaving him trying to skate back while guarding against the shot. The puck then winds up on Pacioretty's stick on edge, enabling him to get leverage to elevate the puck off the ice, over Rask's stick and between the pads, despite Chara being on his shoulder.Smiling Joe Hesketh said:
Definition of a lucky/unlucky goal.
The way some of you assholes are thinking, I have to wonder if this is the first hockey game you've ever watched.
And by the way, when did the goalies start wearing masks?

These stats NBC just put up are depressing. Outshot. Outhit. Losing the majority of the faceoffs. Obviously losing thespecial teams battle. That kinda puts lie to the idea tgey're just havung bad puck luck. They'regetting completely outplayed.
