2/28 @LAK: Where You Go, Iafallo

[durandal1707]

The west coast road trip heads south to Los Angeles, with the competition picking up in the #2 team in the Pacific, the Kings. Another two points, please.

That's some fine punnery right there.

It's nice when WC teams will push the start time back a little for a weeknight game to help any EC viewers who try to make it to at least the 3rd period without resorting to trucker speed. I guess LA can't do that. A 6:00 puck drop would probably have just a few dozen people in the seats for the anthem.

Same lineup as Saturday. Swayman tonight, Ullmark tomorrow.

Marchand - Bergeron - DeBrusk
Hall - Haula - Pastrnak
Frederic - Coyle - Smith
Foligno - Nosek - Froden

Reilly - McAvoy
Grzelyck - Carlo
Forbort - Clifton

Swayman

[Ferm Sheller]

Gotta get up early so I'm gonna miss this one. Go B's! I hope I wake up to good news.

 

[durandal1707]

Leafs get an empty-netter, so looks like tonight's an opportunity to create some distance from the Caps in the WC1 spot.

 

[Cotillion]

Debrusk on fire still...

 

[The Napkin]

Goodness. When things are going right for you....

 

[durandal1707]

TRADE VALUE

 

[Cotillion]

will Toronto review this?

 

[Cotillion]

missed it by an inch...

 

[Cotillion]

Debrusk!!!!

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

That’ll work. DeBrusk, again!

 

[Cotillion]

Perfect pass from the Kings

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Classic turnover. Debrusk is on fire.

 

[durandal1707]

When he's on, he's on.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Debrusk needs to be stapled to that line.

 

[Cotillion]

what a save by quick

 

[ernieshore]

Yeah - that was amazing.

 

[Cotillion]

horrible pp

 

[Cotillion]

Bruins got away with one

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Could have been called a slash. I’m watching the Kings telecast and they wanted a penalty.

 

[durandal1707]

Kinda a meh period despite Jake's efforts. 56% xGF.

 

[Cotillion]

Another Quick save... not sure if it was going wide... nope that angle it was in

 

[Cotillion]

Debrusk tip? will it count?

 

[ColdSoxPack]

That’s a good goal.

 

[Cotillion]

Hat Trick!

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Opposing hats on the ice. Approve.

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

That’s a good goal. Natural hat trick. Hand eye coordination impressive by DeBrusk.

 

[Cotillion]

Bah... bad forechecking penalty

 

[Cotillion]

Damnit... tripping

 

[Cotillion]

Huge kill

 

[ernieshore]

I picked the wrong 5 minutes of this game to miss.

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

Massive kill of 5-3 with the long change.

now score again - extend the lead. DeBrusk, or any B, I’m not picky.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Good pp.

 

[Cotillion]

PP Score Pasta

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

That was quick. (And quickly past Quick.)

 

[Cotillion]

Bergy on that replay

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Could be Bergy.

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

Thank goodness. Secondary scoring (Bergeron tip of Pasta bullet on Pp).

 

[Cotillion]

Hall pouring it on

 

[ernieshore]

Make it 5!

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Christ the Kings were red hot coming into this game. What happened?

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

HaaaaaaAAAAAlllllllll!

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

Chases the goalie.

 

[durandal1707]

Expected goals (NST is a bit behind) are 1.74 to 1.75 for all situations. LOL

 

[Cotillion]

The early goals for Debrusk were fluky, but since the first two been Boston with some good stuff

 

[barclay]

Impressed with the calm and confident play of Swayman. He's growing into his role very well. Quick? Not exactly living up to his name tonight.

He actually made at least two amazing saves that kept sure goals off the board or this would have been a laugher even earlier

 

[ColdSoxPack]

How many east coast viewers are going to stay up for period 3?
