Yep, and McAvoy was lost too, the entire team was lost on that entry and out of position. Freddy was the only guy kinda in position

Man, do I ever hope he is still nursing an injury. That contract seemed like such a no-brainer when they signed it, and it looks like a near disaster now.
If other teams have been watching this year, probably not much. His play has been so disappointing, especially given how good he was last year in the regular season. I know the injury has been mentioned, but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a player go from dominant in all areas to not having one thing that I can point to as being a strong suit in a season. He’s been brutal.
This, I know he's brutal to the eye test, but his underlying is basically the same as last year.
On a random note, I’m through 8 periods at 3 road games, and the combined score is 6-1 home team. I think I’m done watching the Bruins on the road. Ever.
This is an honest question and not a wise ass response. Is it that hockey is perhaps the most random of the major sports that the background numbers are not telling the “real story” in other words the puck tumbled in his favor last year and the opposite may be happening this year?
Sounds like my beginning of the year run. Watched them lose in OT in MTL, NJ, Vegas
Any idea what we’re seeing then? Because he seems to get outmuscled and is very passive in his own zone, doesn’t have any burst and can’t carry through the neutral zone, and isn’t finding the seams he did last year. At least from what I see. And I thought he carried the team with McAvoy out last year and was the best defenseman for large portions even when McAvoy was back.
Hah my neighbor had started to plant some flowers to make the yard look nice for outdoor pictures. Just heard say “fuck this silly shit” as he wheel barreled the flowers into the garage.
I honestly can't answer this one, the eye test doesn't track with the numbers at all. There are others on this board that are far better at understanding and explaining the numbers than I am. I'm sure luck has something to do with it, but I'm at a loss to explain the stark difference myself
Didn't realize it was a day game, catching up on the thread. What happened to Marchand? And has Ersson been standing on his head or has the team not been able to get good shots unlike the last few minutes?
Took a knee-on-knee in the first, no call, then got an unsportsmanlike for slamming his stick and carrying on.
And Ersson’s been about as under fire as I have.
Has Peeke been a decent replacement for Fortbert? His name seems to come up less in terms of “What in the name of fuck is Fortbert/Peeke doing!?!” Im curious what others see/feel about his play since becoming a Bruin.
My feed must be way behind. If his goal counted the other day on that BS offside call would Braz have 6 goals in like 12 games?
This is his 15th game, 7 points in 15 games so far, but yea should be 8 points.
He had one waived off against St. Louis for offside. 5 goals that have counted. 14th game, I think.
