5/4/18 -- Lightning at Bruins, G4

[Investor 11]

Stuck at work, but I’m in front of the same TV that I watched the last 2 game 7’s against Toronto.

 

[BoSoxFink]

Don't let it be Rene's last anthem!

 

[McDrew]

I have been dealing with two narcissistic children all day (both are over 30). I'm ready to run through a wall. Score early so I can stop stressing for once today.

 

[Norm Siebern]

Looking forward to Rene singing for game six.

 

[McDrew]

5 fist pumps is a bold move.

 

[McDrew]

Love the shot from Pasta. This team has gone way too long without shots on goal for periods of this series, and getting an offensive zone face off, at worst, is a good play, especially at the end of a shift.

 

[Boston Brawler]

Fucking clear the puck

 

[McBride11]

First ejection...

 

[edmunddantes]

Need better clears!!!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Have you tried some size 10 Brogan logic with them?

 

[McBride11]

Pasta looks like he is moving and confident early

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Really, really need to get the first goal tonight. Come on boys, punch one in. Definitely controlling the ice thus far.

 

[Boston Brawler]

McAvoy had Marchand there

 

[Boston Brawler]

Fuck!

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Are you fucking kidding me? How did that happen?

 

[ifmanis5]

What a move. Damn.

 

[McBride11]

Motherfucker

 

[CreedBratton]

Tampa just too fast. Disgusting

 

[Boston Brawler]

Shit clearing again

 

[FelixMantilla]

What happened to Chara and McAvoy?

 

[Maximus]

Turnover machines, can't win with that recipe.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Same shit different day

 

[durandal1707]

Great, they get to turtle now

 

[LogansDad]

LOL

 

[McDrew]

Hey look, let's turn over the puck at the blue line again!

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Slopfest.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

So the defense fucked up beyond belief.

But the goalie has to have that.

 

[edmunddantes]

Jeebus.

 

[McBride11]

Tampa just too fast. Disgusting

IT's like that Montreal series in 2014. Speed kills damn

 

[Manzivino]

What happened to Chara and McAvoy?

They’ve been really bad this series. Gotta believe McAvoys knee isn’t right and it’s impacting how much he can cover for Charas lack of speed

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Same fucking bullshit though. Nobody can pass. Keep icing the puck for no reason. Totally outgunned.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

JESUS CHRIST< JUST ICE THE FUCKING THING IF YOU CAN'T GET IT OUT OF YOUR ZONE FOR A MINUTE PLUS

 

[Carmine Hose]

TB 4th line looking like a power play

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I fully admit I'm not qualified at all to make this statement, but I always thought this team didn't have the defense to make a Cup run. their backs are now against the wall there.

 

[McDrew]

Bruce Cassidy needs to call a time out and use the f word a lot.

 

[Lupe Whalewatch]

So the defense fucked up beyond belief.

But the goalie has to have that.

Yeah should have been a pretty simple poke check for Tuukka

 

[Salem's Lot]

They look slow, soft and scared.

 

[McDrew]

I fully admit I'm not qualified at all to make this statement, but I always thought this team didn't have the defense to make a Cup run. their backs are now against the wall there.

The injuries to Carlo and McAvoy have been a major setback to what was generally a step forward this season defensively.

 

[mostman]

These weak little tip passes around the blue line are just destroying them. Get the puck out of the zone. Come on.

 

[CreedBratton]

IT's like that Montreal series in 2014. Speed kills damn

Getting those vibes too unfortunately.

 

[RG33]

Yeah, that goal was on Tuuka more than Chara. Debrusk with the turnover didnt help of course.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Yeah should have been a pretty simple poke check for Tuukka

Should’ve also been an easy cover for one of Chara or McAvoy.

Right now, Tampa’s just better.

 

[BoSoxFink]

And another stupid penalty

 

[Salem's Lot]

One team allowed to play physical. One team isn't.

 

[NYCSox]

Turnover and now this. Wrong Nash on the bench.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

The injuries to Carlo and McAvoy have been a major setback to what was generally a step forward this season defensively.

that's fair. And Chara's not getting any younger.

I also keep going up & down on whether Rask is a franchise goalie. for every great game he lets up a couple killer softies the next time.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Krecji is toast and that contract is an albatross

 

[Deathofthebambino]

LOL, of course they're going to call that on Nash. That's 13 power plays for TB against 5 for the Bruins (and 2 of the 5 for the Bruins were on the same 5on3)

 

[RG33]

How do you possibly let that 2-on-1 develop there? Jesus.

 

[LogansDad]

This is simply not the same Tampa Bay team the Bruins beat up on for most of the regular season.
