vs.DET - 3/8/2015

[Ferm Sheller]

12:30 match up against the Wings at the Garden. Let's complete the four point weekend.

Note that the game is on NBC.

 

[cshea]

Svedberg today. Campbell lives.

 

[Red Right Ankle]

So fucking tired. Win this so I am not tired and annoyed.

 

[LogansDad]

Nice to see Chara playing with a stick that aparently has a hole in it.

 

[LogansDad]

Also, that Quincey on marchand play... if it's the other way around, is there any doubt that Marchand sits for 2?

 

[cshea]

What a move

 

[LogansDad]

Marshmont with the Quasi-Natural Hat Trick!

 

[Salem's Lot]

What a move.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Man, I love the way he's playing

 

[burstnbloom]

Marchand, white hot right when they need him. 

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Marchand, white hot right when they need him. 

You love your car, you name it "Brad".

 

[cshea]

3 goals in 8:22 of game time for Marchand

 

[burstnbloom]

Holy shit, Svedberg. 

 

[BoSoxFink]

What the fuck was that Svedberg!?

 

[LogansDad]

I want Chad Johnson back.

 

[eddiew112]

What the fuck

 

[Salem's Lot]

Soft goal. What the fuck.

 

[BoSoxFink]

Backup goalie is a problem with this team

 

[Eddie Jurak]

Screened by McQuaid

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Ah, it was the skates. 'Splains that.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh, I need another look at that one

 

[cshea]

Snipe

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Pasta

 

[LogansDad]

PASTA

 

[Salem's Lot]

Snipe

 

[burstnbloom]

Holy shit that kid is good. 

 

[RedOctober3829]

Pasta has been served

 

[LogansDad]

That's two that have gone straight through Chara's stick already.

 

[LogansDad]

Well, refs missed that one on Talbot
 
Edit: Paille, my bad

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Who laid the hit? Talbot?

NM. paille

 

[burstnbloom]

Most obvious interference ever. 

 

[eddiew112]

Bruins are all over them, great sequence there

 

[Eddie Jurak]

Most obvious interference ever. 

At least it was called.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Could it be that fresh off the heels of killing themselves in a regular season to win the President's Cup and then bowing out in the first round, this team is "slow-playing" it this year?

 

[LogansDad]

Could it be that fresh off the heels of killing themselves in a regular season to win the President's Cup and then bowing out in the first round, this team is "slow-playing" it this year?

Considering they made it to the second round last year, I doubt it.

 

[LogansDad]

Pasta mixing it up after the whistle. I love this kid.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

.

Ah, yeah. Brain fart. That wasn't the thrust of my point, though.

 

[burstnbloom]

I'm with you.  He has something about his game that makes you really root for him. 

 

[LogansDad]

Either way, I'm not sure the pan was to be fighting for their playoff lives with 16 games to go.  I don't think if has been "slow-playing" they've just been injured and wildly inconsistent.
 
They have been playing better lately, but I don't think it is because they threw a switch and were all of a sudden a different team.

 

[LogansDad]

Not Dougie's best shift ever here.

 

[cshea]

The kid line is prone to lengthy d zone shifts. Skilled as hell, but that's the one draw back.

 

[cshea]

Not smart Loui.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

The kid line is prone to lengthy d zone shifts. Skilled as hell, but that's the one draw back.

 
Krug and Hamilton were caught out there as well, which never helps

 

[LogansDad]

LOL, Chara better buy his 9 foot stick dinner after getting smoked there.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

The Detroit goal looked like it may have clipped a bit of McQuaid on the way to the net.

 

[burstnbloom]

Wow.  Obvious interference against Loui..no call, he gets up and immediately gets called himself. 

 

[LogansDad]

The kid line is prone to lengthy d zone shifts. Skilled as hell, but that's the one draw back.

They do, but I feel like they generally do a pretty good job of keeping the play to the outside when they do.  Obviously spending a full minute in the defensive zone isn't optimal, but do you think the chances of them getting better in this part of their game the longer they play together are good?
 
If a Spooner-Pasta-whoever line can learn how to play some defense it is going to be a killer line someday.

 

[LogansDad]

Wow.  Obvious interference against Loui..no call, he gets up and immediately gets called himself. 

Yeah, I imagine that's what he was saying to the ref on his way to the box.

 

[burstnbloom]

Oh cmon.  He's at the fucking faceoff circle. 

 

[LogansDad]

At some point, the Bruins might want to stop tripping their own teammates.
