11/21 -- Bruins @ Lightning

[Ferm Sheller]

The Bs are in Tampa for a 7:00 game on Monday night. Will be interesting to see how they match up against a team that's been to the SCF each of the past three years, winning two of them.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Meant to remind everyone that Bergeron is going for his 1,000 point tonight. Hopefully it's a goal that goes in off of Brayden Point. That would be poetic.

Some line shuffling but no lineup changes. Apparently Foligno took a Lindholm slapper to the face this morning but will get stitched up and play.

Marchand - Bergeron - DeBrusk
Zacha - Krejci - Pastrnak
Frederic - Coyle - Hall
Foligno - Nosek - Greer

Grzelyck - McAvoy
Lindholm - Carlo
Stralman - Clifton

Ullmark

Hall buzzing around and Frederic on his off-side (like DeBrusk) looked good the other night. It’s worth trying as those combos could unlock all 3 lines. And they’re all saying the right things about feeling comfortable in the system no matter who’s on the ice.

Looking forward to this game and this stretch of stronger opponents.

Score early. Score often. Win.

 

[Cotillion]

They won't get away with some of the lazy back passes, no look ones, and other stuff they've been doing. So I hope they clean that up.

 

[Jordu]

This should be fun hockey. LFG.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Have to watch in French. Pre-game/intermission crew is Guillaume Latendresse and Maxim Lapierre.

Thanks I hate it.

 

[joe dokes]

It's nice how "last change for the home team" doesn't seem nearly as daunting as it did in the playoffs.

 

[cshea]

This is ugly

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Fourth line getting run out so far, and they can’t do much in the other two zones.

 

[katnado]

Tampa is just beating them to every puck, every hit, winning every battle.

 

[joe dokes]

8 minutes of being thoroughly dominated but not committing a penalty or giving up a goal is not easy.

 

[Bergs]

This should be fun hockey. LFG.

This is not fun hockey.

 

[joe dokes]

That Hedman backhand is really a thing of beauty.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Yup.

 

[uk_sox_fan]

Hey - a shot!

 

[joe dokes]

Ugh. Terrible pass going into the offensive zone led straight to that.

 

[katnado]

They're gonna get run out of the building. Just a straight ass kicking

 

[uk_sox_fan]

Had to happen

 

[joe dokes]

Every Bruin pass is tape-to-not-tape. Behind, too far forward, or just not close.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

They have had, like, two clean zone entries so far.

 

[cshea]

This is what it was like to be a Blackhawks fan on Saturday.

 

[joe dokes]

I hope they find their legs before it's too late...

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I still believe

 

[soxin6]

Some shots on goal for the Bs would be a welcome change

 

[joe dokes]

Getting a little better.

 

[LogansDad]

This is ugly. To be down by only 1 right now feels like a moral victory.

 

[uk_sox_fan]

how 'bout a cheapy just before the period ends to improbably level things up?

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Outlook not so bad

 

[FelixMantilla]

FUCK YEAH!

 

[One Red Seat]

Wow

 

[katnado]

FINALLY!!!!!!!!

 

[joe dokes]

Krejci stops time again.
A bad team is down 2 or 3 after that start.

 

[Over Guapo Grande]

Or a bomb

 

[uk_sox_fan]

thank you - thank you very much!

 

[durandal1707]

Krejci is a slapshot sniper. Who knew?

 

[Cotillion]

Wow... was not expecting anything but a rebound maybe from that shot...

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Krejci has been great lately

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

 

[durandal1707]

Vasilevskiy is weak on the blocker side. Feel like the league has sniffed that out in recent years.

 

[Bergs]

This cracks me up.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

This cracks me up.

Thank God we only temporarily needed to shelve it.

 

[joe dokes]

It appears the wagon's flat tire has been repaired.

 

[cshea]

Yakety Sax

 

[Cotillion]

that was so super awkward with Debrusk and Pasta

 

[LogansDad]

OMG WHAT A FUCKING SAVE

 

[FelixMantilla]

Holy shit, what a stop.

 

[The Mort Report]

fucking hell of a save there at the end even if it wasn't going to count
