Game 3 - Bruins vs Lightning
- Thread starter TFP
- Start date
They already blew one earlier in the game. It’s now two where the guy in I’ve played puck before other was off.
Thats' what I want to know. Why the fuck did the whistle blow? Puck didn't leave the ice, did it?
At this point I expect each of their shots to carom off six people and both posts before going in.
The problem is the defense is getting exposed tonight against a team that might win the cup. Not having Carlo for this one really hurts. Krug is getting completely exposed in a top four role.
He doesn’t watch the games then chimes in when things go wrong. Figuratively shit on the Patriots after admitting to not watching for a whole year. Freely disregard.
I’m asking the same question. Hit the Tampa player leaving the ice in the skates, bounced back to a Bruins player, and then whistle. I assumed it was too many men, then... not
Bruins spent the whole period looking like they were skating in cement. Tampa is absolutely flying.
First two he could have stopped. At some point he has to shoulder some of the blame as well as Krug
Did they change the too many men rule? Two instances where a guy played a puck or had puck hit them near lightning bench and there were 6 plus guys on ice.
One was right before we got our first power play and then this one.

If anyone gives Rask shit after this period it’s akin to shitting on the Patriots defense after giving up a TD after Brady throws a pick at his own 10.
A puck can hit a guy exiting the ice without it being too many men, as long as that guy makes no effort to play the puck. That looked to be the right call there
Did you get a good deal on those Rask Hating Glasses (TM)? In no world should he have been expected to stop the first one, it was atrocious play by the defense. The second is more arguable, but it tipped through a screen, so I have a hard time blaming him. The third one he saved twice before the defense again failed to get the puck to safety. Krug is a mess, and nobody else is playing much better. Except DeBrusk, he is awesome.
19 shots on goal for Tampa. Doing the math....yep, that's on pace for 57 SOG for the game, which obviously would be....totally unacceptable.
Get one back in the second period and then get after it in the third. This game is far from over. But my goodness, they can't allow 19 shots in a period again.

I would like to literally shit on this post
Unfortunately, I'm out of screen-cleaning wipes.
This.
They are not playing that poorly the rest of the way, and they're winning this fucking hockey game.
no. It was the guy on ice before the guy going off was close to being off. Plus more than one guy on.
For the most part, the Bruins are struggling to sustain any sort of offensive pressure 5 on 5. They are really struggling entering the zone. Hopefully they can figure that out heading into the 2nd.
Clearly Tuukka's fault.
(I admit to being a bit of a hypocrite on this, after some of my reactions in round 1, but I'm in awe that anyone could blame THIS game on Tuukka).
oh gotcha, I didn't see that part of it. I'd like to take another look as well
I feel like simply not letting the puck fucking bounce off and through their sticks and shit would go a long way toward better play. Just needless sloppiness.
This series is exposing Torey Krug for what he is. A sixth defenseman/ power play specialist. Relying on him to play top 4 minutes against very good teams in the playoffs costs you games.
Hopefully Bruins got it all out of the system and come to play the rest of the game.
Tampa looked like it was on power play even when they weren’t a lot in the first.

Why is Cass switching up the D pairs basically at random? Why are we sucking? Why are we getting outhit?
I'm no hockey genius, but it's a really easy tell that someone knows jack shit about the game when they blame the goalie for every goal.
I like him on a 3rd pair and the power play. I'm not saying trade him or anything. He just can't be in the top 4.
