2/19 @OTT: Holden On (to a playoff spot)

[durandal1707]

Last time I started a set of game threads it was following @NYCSox and it turned out pretty well. Might as well try it again. Let's see how much the B's like my terrible puns.

Awful opponent tonight following a bad loss. The Bruins' goal differential is down to +1. Time to restock.

Oh my god Forbort is a healthy scratch

I'm about over the Cliffy Hockey Experience.

"Yet another shitty entry from Reilly......."

(Not those exact words, for the not- watching(

 

[Jordu]

McAvoy is the only defenseman who delivers big hits.

Oh my god Forbort is a healthy scratch

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[durandal1707]

Oh my god Forbort is a healthy scratch

If he's been traded (probably not he has a limited NTC LOL), it's an Xmas miracle.

 

[durandal1707]

22% xGF so far... not exactly the effort you'd want to have after a tough loss.

 

[Cotillion]

Bouncing puck goes in for the Bruins

 

[Jordu]

Jake!

Great work on the boards by Studnicka.

 

[JCizzle]

That hand eye coordination is nuts, wow!

 

[Cotillion]

Pucks into shooting lanes and things can happen...

 

[Scoops Bolling]

If any team should be shorthanded here, it is absolutely Ottawa.

 

[Cotillion]

How are the Bruins shorthanded here?

 

[Bergs]

What a fucking joke.

 

[Myt1]

Are you fucking serious?

 

[NYCSox]

That is fucking ridiculous.

 

[Myt1]

Clifton makes a check, no arm up, two guys go after him.

Bruins short handed.

 

[barclay]

Clown league. A disgrace.

 

[Cotillion]

Constant shit like this is why the Bruins reffing is a joke... and why the Bruins are smart to not go "big bad B's"... imagine if they did go out and actually played in the way that they got reffed... they'd go whole games with a revolving door to the penalty box...

 

[LogansDad]

Clifton desetved a penalty. Bruins still shouldn't have been shorthanded.

That’s not how it works, though. Eventually, the refs stop calling them, or “even them off.”

 

[LogansDad]

What the fuck now?

 

[Myt1]

Clifton desetved a penalty. Bruins still shouldn't have been shorthanded.

Where’d he elbow him?

They let Ottawa call the penalty by reacting.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh. I see. We're just making shit up now.

 

[Cotillion]

bwahahahaha... did they change interference at some point?

 

[Cotillion]

why does this look like 5 on 4?

 

[LogansDad]

Where’d he elbow him?

They let Ottawa call the penalty by reacting.

I don't disagree with you that it is bullshit that the penalty only got called after the extra stuff. But Clifton's elbow absolutely came up. It was not a good hit, in my opinion.

 

[Cotillion]

Goal!!! Carlo!

 

[Jordu]

Sweet play by Carlo.

 

[Scoops Bolling]

Karma.

 

[Myt1]

I agree that it came up. It just looked like it came up after, rather than hit him in the head with it.

The guy is up immediately, not the least bit shaky. Tough for me to believe that there was material contact to the head. I think Clifton mostly missed him, and it looked worse because of that.

 

[barclay]

The entertainment factor is mitigated by the atrocious and criminal refs. Its hard to watch and even harder to say anything other than they are either on the take or massively incompetent - in which case they should either be in jail or forced to work at Burger King respectively.

 

[Jordu]

Bruins playing defense with sticks and not bodies. Ottawa players aren’t challenged.

 

[The Napkin]

did he even hit him? Looked like chest?

 

[joe dokes]

Nosek is beastly tonight.

 

[The Napkin]

What an awful breakout “ pass”

 

[LogansDad]

Ugh

 

[Salem's Lot]

How do you not bury that?

 

[The Napkin]

Jesus Lazar

 

[PedroSpecialK]

oh for fuck's sakes lazar

 

[joe dokes]

How do you not bury that?

That right there is one of those "ahhh..that's why his ceiling is bottom 6" moments

 

[Scoops Bolling]

Rocket!

 

[FelixMantilla]

HOLY SHIT, WHAT A SHOT!

 

[Cotillion]

Pasta Rocket!!

 

[joe dokes]

That right there is one of those "ahhh......that's why he scores 40 goals" moments.

 

[NYCSox]

Thank God we were spared an ugly shootout.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Booyah

 

[Salem's Lot]

That right there is one of those "ahhh..that's why his ceiling is bottom 6" moments

Lazar? Yeah 4th liner.

 

[Jordu]

PASTA! WOOOOO!
