12/16 Bruins vs Islanders 7 PM EST

[LogansDad]

I'll go ahead and throw my biannual thread start out the door for this one. The Islanders stink. The Bruins are missing, well, everyone who matters, really. Should be a terrible game, and I will probably be able to move on and not have the pressure of starting anymore thread.

But somebody had to do it, so here I am.

This is totally ok.

 

[cshea]

Gonna be a skater down unless they got someone there during the day.

 

[TSC]

Looks like they’re playing a skater down.

[LogansDad]

That was a really spectacularly weak call against Palmieri. Make it hurt.

 

[cshea]

Lol

[Maximus]

As expected start with an Exhibition game forward group.

 

[Jordu]

Bruins losing puck battles all over the ice but especially in their defensive zone.

 

[TSC]

That was predictable

 

[LogansDad]

Just going to go ahead and post this again:

[Salem's Lot]

Carlo is so fucking soft. And what is Reilly doing behind the net there with Reilly and a forward in coverage back there?

 

[cshea]

The first long getting dominated does not bode well for surviving this.

 

[LogansDad]

The "first line" getting dominated does not bode well for surviving this.

FTFY

 

[cshea]

Holy Christ shoot the puck

 

[LogansDad]

Thank god I'm down to 600 in queue to get onto my Final Fantasy XIV server.

 

[Maximus]

D is going to have to take shots and provide offense.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Way to hang in that lane and block that shot Reilly.

 

[cshea]

2 probably does it.

 

[Salem's Lot]

2 probably does it.

1 did it. Let’s be honest.

 

[cshea]

This is annoying. The A s have 5 guys in the protocol and we’re offered to PPD

Yeah, should be more than enough for tonight.

Different rules in Toronto for the Bruins as usual.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Finally some energy from somebody.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Folingo is overpaid and looks like he’s lost a step, but I appreciated that fight quite a bit.
See if they can turn that into anything.

 

[jcaz]

This is brutal. What makes it worse is Jack’s uninterrupted whining about cameramen, refs, the temperature in the studio, and whatever else makes him sad.

Spoiler

they won’t

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Spoiler

they won’t

Bah!

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I wonder how long they'd have to play before the Bs scored a goal. Sunday? Monday? A week from now? February? Spring 2036?

 

[ColdSoxPack]

No tripping on Boston?

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Jack got that totally wrong. Goalie held his ground he was not faked out in the least.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Well, had he held it he had the whole blocker side open, but he went for the 5 hole that wasn’t there.

 

[The Napkin]

4 on 2 leads to no shot
whee

 

[wiffleballhero]

Jack got that totally wrong. Goalie held his ground he was not faked out in the least.

But it was a good line...

 

[cshea]

They aren’t playing bad, their just over matched.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Bruins score the next goal somehow and it’s a winnable game.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Lol. Brutal call on chara.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

I’ll take a dive at this point

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Make up call

 

[cshea]

Might as well pull Ullmark

 

[Salem's Lot]

I’ve never seen a team take so many harmless shots on net.

 

[NYCSox]

I don’t know if Hall will ever score again. Sigh.

 

[LogansDad]

Whatever. I hate starting game threads anyway. Too much pressure.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Stop making excuses Jack.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

At least we showed up.

 

[Salem's Lot]

This organization is so fucked if Bergeron leaves or retires after this year.

 

[shawnrbu]

Jack whining that the game wasn’t fair.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Jack whining that the game wasn’t fair.

It’s so pathetic. They had David Pastrnak, Taylor Hall, Charlie McAvoy, Charlie Coyle tonight, and the only thing they finished was a garbage time softie. Covid didn’t make Carlo lose a puck battle that led to the first goal. This team sucks because they fucking suck. Weather they have a full lineup or not. I’m sick of the fucking excuses.

I would add that this is the time for some younger players to show they can play hockey. The trip to Canada might get ugly.

Starting to regret choosing 12/31 as the game to get really great seats to
