Dude...You absolutely know hockey better than I do...but that is just not what I saw.Played like shit for 55 minutes, good for 5 minutes. This game was closer than it should’ve been, Carolina dominated the vast majority of the game.

yeah.. Carolina in no way dominated.Dude...You absolutely know hockey better than I do...but that is just not what I saw.
This. We were terrible defensively in our zone with too many turnovers leading to 3 snipes from the Canes and we couldn't take advantage of Reimer giving out rebounds consistently.What an annoyingly frustrating game
Cassidy knows. McAvoy, Krug, Grzelcyk and Carlo all got more TOI than Chara.Not enough finish around the net tonight. Chara killed them. Maybe don’t play a 43 year old defenseman on a back to back. He handled the puck like a grenade and was responsible for at least two of the goals. Rask was mediocre. Maybe come out and challenge the shot from Hamilton? Or the 2nd goal? You can’t give these guys over your shoulder, they’ll hit it.
Dominated is probably extreme, but Carolina was the better team tonight. They out chanced the Bruins 21-15 and held the Bruins to a paltry 1.09 expected goals. The Bruins did noting offensively and were sloppy with the puck in their own end all night. Led to the 1-1 goal and the 3-2 goal. Bad combo when you can’t generate any offense and are prone to spending long shifts in your own end. Long shifts in your own end typically ends in a goal against or a penalty (correct call or not).Dude...You absolutely know hockey better than I do...but that is just not what I saw.
Sit in the stands with some popcorn on Saturday and he’ll eat the hell out of it.Ritchie looks like a total zero to me. Out there for 10:45, 2 hits, 0 shots. Big and slow. The fuck does this guy do?
I mean, is he wrong?Oh boy Tuukka not what you want to say

Why would you say that though especially after a loss? It’s like yea we lost but it’s because I’m not hyped up because of no fans.I mean, is he wrong?
No but it’s an awful mentality to have.I mean, is he wrong?
Tuukka being Tuukka.No but it’s an awful mentality to have.
Because you are really good at hockey? Do you think this means he trys less hard?How can you have this mentality and be expected to win a championship?

He’s supposed to just be big go to the net. Not a traditional hockey play, but he did win the puck on the disputed hand pass goal in game 1. That’s the kinda things they want him to do. Win battles, create havoc in front of the net. That line just didn’t have anything going tonight, and could’ve been a result of getting shaken up. They lost Bjork with Pasta out and then Coyle started getting shifts as 1RW.Ritchie looks like a total zero to me. Out there for 10:45, 2 hits, 0 shots. Big and slow. The fuck does this guy do?
Can't wait for this to be the only thing talked about leading up to game 3How can you have this mentality and be expected to win a championship?

Point taken but I feel like Coyle has so much gravity on his own that I’d prefer someone more dynamic alongside him to take advantage of space rather than just occupy it.He’s supposed to just be big go to the net.

I don’t know what it tangibly means but I don’t like it. It’s not what I want to hear from one of the cornerstones of the team.Because you are really good at hockey? Do you think this means he trys less hard?
Yeah, not saying Ritchie’s been good. Just that the *idea* is for him to throw his body around a bit and ger to the net.Point taken but I feel like Coyle has so much gravity on his own that I’d prefer someone more dynamic alongside him to take advantage of space rather than just occupy it.
Rask is just treating these playoffs like a bronze medal game.I don’t know what it tangibly means but I don’t like it. It’s not what I want to hear from one of the cornerstones of the team.
Yeah I lost that O/U. Maybe he needs to throw some milk cartons.Damn. I had two playoff losses before Boston turned on Tuukka.
I don't read his comments as saying anything other than that he's trying to keep a level head and not worry too much about any given game's results, which frankly is probably the mindset you need to have as a goalie. Would you have liked it more if he said "I get super stressed before every game and when I have a bad game I can't stop thinking about it"?I don’t know what it tangibly means but I don’t like it.

He’s just so slow and seems behind a lot. It makes his play look lazy. As for the third line, it was apparent they really missed Bjork’s energy and offensive skill. Kuhlman is a decent chip and chase guy, but he’s not making the plays Bjork will. With Ritchie looking like a men’s league player, it really inhibits Coyle’s ability.He’s supposed to just be big go to the net.

There is absolutely NO FUCKING WAY I am turning on Felger and Mazz today. It will be 4 hours on Rask.Can't wait for this to be the only thing talked about leading up to game 3
I’m sure they’ll mix some quality “Pastrnak is SAWFT! He should’ve played last night!” hot takes Into the conversation.He’s just so slow and seems behind a lot. It makes his play look lazy.

They need Pasta to balance things, but even then had opportunities to win as McAvoy had Reimer beat on the PP, but missed the net, and then McAvoy had an open net and missed that with a few seconds left. Either goes in, we obviously have a different game.

The perception of the comments comes off as I am not really into these games because there's no fans, it's August, and I've been off for months so what do you want from me. I don't think that's what he actually means, but it is a bad look.I don't read his comments as saying anything other than that he's trying to keep a level head and not worry too much about any given game's results, which frankly is probably the mindset you need to have as a goalie.
