3/12 - Bs vs. Islanders (Oh, No Mo' OT, OK? Tx.)

[Ferm Sheller]

Guess I'll get this started a little early so as to remind everyone that tomorrow's game is a somewhat rare matinee (1 PM).

The Isles have taken 24 out of a possible 30 points in their past 15 games, so they're coming in kinda hot. The Bs have a modest point streak going, but have played four consecutive OT games. While I don't think the extra minutes played are significant, it would be nice if the Bs could win a laugher here or there going into the playoffs (as a poster mentioned in last night's thread). But in any event, let's just pick up two more points.

(First Round Preview) If the playoffs started today, the Isles would be our opponent. Be nice to beat the crap out of them.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Ferm Sheller gets a game thread run in the playoffs for sure.

 

[Maximus]

Johnny Rocket will be back in the house again.

If the season ended today the Bruins would play the 1st wild card, which is Detroit. Islanders would play the Rangers.

D'oh you're right. Dunno what the hell I was looking at.

Oh well, win anyways.

If asked, I will gladly served. You had a nice run of your own a couple of months ago.

 

[joe dokes]

It would be a nice touch if today's telecast opened with "Nutrocker," as it did in the 70s, as a tribute to Keith Emerson.

 

[McDrew]

I seriously want a shirt that says "Live your life like Rene Rancourt opened it with the anthem and three fist pumps".

edit: I can spel

 

[LogansDad]

Is it just me, or has Krejci been a bit of an adventure early in this one?

I think he may have gotten caught on consecutive extra-long shifts.

 

[kenneycb]

Spooner is still fairly lost defensively.

 

[kenneycb]

And some nice mittens by Lee there.

 

[LogansDad]

What a move by Stempniak to draw the penalty.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Nice

 

[LogansDad]

LOUI

 

[kenneycb]

Hot damn that was pretty.

 

[kenneycb]

Great job by Spooner to not shoot that.

 

[LogansDad]

Good period, keep it up

 

[hitatater]

Great period for the B's, especially in their defensive end. Never once did I see Islanders free in the zone. Is it just that B's D matches up well against I's O?

 

[Maximus]

Solid period. I still miss Johnny Rocket.

 

[LogansDad]

Im just going to start skipping 2nd periods...

 

[kenneycb]

Great period for the B's, especially in their defensive end. Never once did I see Islanders free in the zone. Is it just that B's D matches up well against I's O?

Only in the first period apparently.

 

[kenneycb]

Would've loved to be a fly on the wall for that little chat between Hamonic, Bergy and Marchand.

 

[McDrew]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Miller has been Non-shitty today.

 

[LogansDad]

Ugh, so many missed chances

 

[Maximus]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Miller has been Non-shitty today.

I have only seen him make one bad turnover today, otherwise he has been ok.

 

[LogansDad]

Miller has been playing better lately, and I think he is finally a clear upgrade over the scratches

 

[LogansDad]

Holy shit Chara... that was really fucking bad

 

[FelixMantilla]

That was fucking disgusting. Chara and Miller were awful.

 

[The Napkin]

That all started because Chara was just plain pushed off the puck. Ugly.

 

[Maximus]

Horrible puck handling by Chara and Miller cost us that goal. Skate and pass, WTH.

 

[LogansDad]

I mean, it looked like someone hit Chara's pause button while the Islanders were making a change

 

[kenneycb]

What a shit 2 on 1

 

[LogansDad]

Krejci

 

[Maximus]

Islanders goalie has been good today so far.

 

[kenneycb]

Way to try to skate through five guys at the top of the circles with nobody back Z.

 

[LogansDad]

So has Tuukka

 

[FelixMantilla]

So this Tuukka guy is pretty good.

 

[Maximus]

Nice save there by Tuukka

 

[kenneycb]

Holy fuck Krejci.

 

[FelixMantilla]

That was beautiful!

 

[LogansDad]

That's better, David.

 

[Nomar813]

Pasta!

 

[kenneycb]

It was a filthy play for Krejci to just corral the initial pass. It got flipped up and he batted it down to his blade in one swoop.

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Holy shit Krejci

 

[Maximus]

Beautiful play by Krejci on a nice goal by Pasta.

 

[Ed Hillel]

LOL Chara trying to be Stamkos.

Pasta!!! Krejci!!!

 

[LogansDad]

Nice to see the Bruins have gotten their 1 power play for the game.

 

[SoFloSoxFan]

That was a nice turn around, from Chara trying to make it 2-1 Islanders, Tuukka denying it, and Krecji flipping it to 2-1 Bs.
