krejci at least created opportunities to score. Marchand did nothing all night and Lucic wasn't much better.Smiling Joe Hesketh said:
Game 1: Habs @ Bruins (a must win, obvi...)
- Thread starter Titoschew
- Start date
my only thing...if you're going to call that last penalty you have to call the interference or whatever on the Bergeron breakaway...cause the defender didn't get anywhere close to trying to play the puck and it would have definitely lead to a goal scoring opportunity.mabrowndog said:

Im convinced Marchand is sick....took his option on the skate this morning looked like luke warm dog shit all night no way he was 100%
Even below average puck luck would have netted the B's like 5 or 6 goals. This was some next level bullshit.
Can't lose a faceoff that clean. Can't let Dale fucking Weise draw a penalty.
Felt better after Detroit game 1 BECAUSE they played such a halfhearted game. This was domination and a loss that makes no sense. Montreal is a disease.

Does his illness involve having his head up his ass? What the hell was he doing behind Price expect acting as a 3rd Montreal defenseman? Fucking idiot.
Pretty content with the Bruins overall play in the game. The difference was the Habs cashed in on their chances and IMO, Price outplayed Rask. Hopefully the pucks go in on Saturday.
i agree for the most part, but what worries me is that this always seems to be the case for the Bruins against the Canadiens. They outplay them by far but don't score on their chances while Montreal gets like 3 or 4 total chances and always convert them.cshea said:
I feel like I'm probably better off health-wise if I drink until I'm blacked out and sleep through the games from now and on. It's never fun against this team until the moment they are buried.
I agree. Why would you want the guy leading your team in playoff goals and second in points on the ice. I mean, he only had one assist today.Jed Zeppelin said:

Edit: Bartkowski tortures puppies in his spare time. Or so I'm going to report to the authorities.
Until the Habs have a 3-0 or 3-1 lead in the series, I'm not all that concerned - which is weird as I'm 1/3 of a handle of Jamo deep.
The B's had every possible break go against them tonight in terms of scoring chances. Rask wasn't at his best, Price had the P. Roy horseshoe up his ass, and Matt Bartkowski decided to be a shithead at two separate points to bookend the scoring.
Win Saturday. Or don't, whatever - but if you don't, win Tuesday.
I mean... i feel like there were five or six pucks behind Price that didn't go in... I guess in my mind neither of them had an amazing game...Bruin's didn't bury their chances, but I don't really think Price had a lot to do with it.Ed Hillel said:

The Bruins had 51 shots on goal. Price made probably 7 or 8 incredible saves.
Tuukka didn't have a good night.

They need to lose a couple of games this series so that don't have too much rest before the next one. This might as well have been one of them.

Majority of scoring chances, first loss in four games, and a big-time letdown from our champions in failure.
I demand an explanation.
apropos of absolutely nothing, I came across this photo and it brightened my evening the hell up
Not at all. Well not me, anyway. I love the guy. But he did miss completely on a golden chance to score.
FWIW, I thought the Bruins totally outplayed the Canadiens. 51 shots to 33. 56 hits to 45. 51 face-offs won to 37. Seemed to control most of the game. Even my kid, who doesn't really follow hockey, at one point said, "Man, the Bruins look like they're dominating them."
A few things:
(1) Bartkowski just killed them. Two penalties. Two power play goals for Subban.
(2) Rask was not very sharp. 4 goals in 33 shot attempts. For him, anyway, that's pretty subpar.
(3) The friggin' bounce of the puck. There were several times when it looked like a Bruins shot was going in and just……didn't. Sliding through the crease behind Price. Off the post. Just wide. Time and time again they had great shots that somehow did not go in.
So I can't decide whether I'm encouraged or not. You outplay your opponent and lose. Are you encouraged they outplayed them and figure the puck bounces even out over the course of the series? Or are you discouraged because you outplayed them and still didn't get the win?

The only goal that I thought Rask should have done better on was the Bourque one through the 5 hole. The others, I'm not sure what he could have done. Rocket up high, rocket up high after an extended Bruins defensive breakdown in their own zone, rocket up high. I mean, Subban's a douche, but the man can play a little bit of hockey, and we've seen him connect on those lasers before.
Price outplayed Rask, but only because the Bruins had far more pressure on him. And they still should have scored 6 expect for bad puck luck and a couple of posts and Marchand deciding he wasn't to play defense for Montreal.
Tough game to lose.

Also, I might be the only one, but I thought Krug was south of mediocre last night. His goal was, IMO, eclipsed by his blown golden opportunity in the first, and his defensive blunder that led to Montreal's second goal.
