10/17 - Lightning. When I come home cold and tired

[durandal1707]

Tuukka's been huge.

 

[durandal1707]

Aaaaaand NHLTV shit the bed

 

[cshea]

B’s not generating any 5x5 offense. Feels ominous.

 

[The Long Tater]

B’s not generating any 5x5 offense. Feels ominous.

Top line had some chances (and posts). But, yeah.

 

[durandal1707]

Good time for a DeBrusk or Kuhlman goal

 

[durandal1707]

No slash?

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Lindholm is excellent on the kill.

 

[durandal1707]

Fuck

 

[cshea]

Bruce’s 4th line vs other teams top line stubbornness annoys me at times.

 

[Jordu]

Goddam. Through Chara and Rask.

 

[The Long Tater]

Grr

 

[LogansDad]

Ah fuck off.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

I mean, that's a great shot- quick, heavy, through a screen, just over the pad and under the glove...but ugh. Tuukka needs that one.

 

[Jeff Frye's Face Mask]

Dammit

 

[cshea]

Pull Rask

 

[LogansDad]

How is Pastas knee still in one piece?

 

[FelixMantilla]

PASTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

YESSSSS

 

[Maximus]

PASTA

 

[durandal1707]

LOL

 

[Jordu]

Well all right.

 

[RetractableRoof]

That was a bit of a shooting gallery... love it.

 

[cshea]

Let’s see what Bruce has up his sleeve for OT this year. Kuraly - Lindholm - Carlo?

 

[LogansDad]

This is as good as an early season game can possibly be.

 

[The Long Tater]

Impressive D by DeBrusk. Great shift

 

[durandal1707]

Great backcheck by DeBrusk

 

[JCizzle]

Great pass from Jake

 

[cshea]

Controlling the puck but don’t love some of the shot selections here.

 

[cshea]

NESN shitting then bed at a good time.

 

[durandal1707]

TUUKKA

 

[durandal1707]

Also this ice still seems sub-par

 

[Dummy Hoy]

I think that was the best 3v3 OT I've ever seen.

 

[cshea]

Huh, going 2nd?

 

[cshea]

Weird that Pasta is only 3-18

 

[cshea]

Not gonna win a skills competition against those guys.

 

[FelixMantilla]

We're not going to win many shootouts against this team.

 

[durandal1707]

"Comes from behind" Jack? They were up 3-2.

Shootouts still suck.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

That's too bad. Fun game to watch though.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Weird that Pasta is only 3-18

He should take a page out of Stamkos’s playbook there and just set himself up to fire a wrister instead of dicking around on tired ice.

 

[durandal1707]

3 posts and 2 brainfarts leading to TB goals. The 5v5 disparity is a concern but the Bruins can beat them, no worry.

 

[Maximus]

I hate the shootouts skills competition. Not our strength.

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Shootouts continue to suck. Good to know, good to know.

BRING ME THE BJORK

 

[The Napkin]

Yeah, Ritchie wasn't bad and had a couple chances but just isn't able to do anything other than shoot it into the goalie's chest.

Not going to win many shootouts going 0-4. Alas. But a point is a point.

BRING ME THE BJORK

He’s literally saying everything but “For fuck sake Donny, we got a guy leading the AHL in scoring that we know can play here.”

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Why does Cassidy keep putting Marchand in shoot outs? He’s awful.

Who would you have went with?

 

[cshea]

“Good” in shootouts is like 33% so they’re all going to look bad most of the time. I don’t have Marchand’s career numbers handy but I’d hazard a guess he is near the top in shootout percentage. I want 63 and 88 shooting each time, and 88 is now 3-18.

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Marchand is at 24% according to hockey reference. He's not a good SO shooter. League average is like 32-33%.

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Browsing the Bruins, thay makes him one of their better forwards.

They are not a good shootout team.
