Game 2 @CAR: Not So Fast

[LogansDad]

This is fucking ridiculous.

 

[RetractableRoof]

I must have missed this, but is Bergeron playing hurt? After his goal, he basically hunched over grabbing his wrist/forearm. I'm sure others saw it - what did I miss? Was it a hack on the goal scrum, or is this existing that I didn't know about?

 

[McBride11]

This is a fucking embarassment. And Canes fans in house are cheering both injuries

 

[Salem's Lot]

Lol these refs.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

This is fucking hilarious.

 

[Myt1]

Way to earn those four, you utterly useless piece of shit.

 

[TSC]

8. 8 power plays now for Carolina.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Totally embarrassing and undisciplined hockey

 

[cshea]

They are the only team penalized in scrums. Doesn’t matter if they take the first shot or are the ones retaliating. 3 times tonight scrums have ended with Hurricanes man advantages.

 

[Salem's Lot]

If I was Cassidy, I would tell Frederic he better take out Svechikov or he’s never playing in the NHL again.

 

[allstonite]

Embarassing

 

[Bergs]

Why not at this point.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

I understand your thinking and you are likely to be right because the Bruins are going to have a hard time getting through the weekend, but none the less, I still stand by the basic idea that TV sometimes is deceptive with the impact of hits. And it goes both ways. More importantly, when players get really serious concussions that don't look like major blows on tape I think it is a disservice that we all often sort of 'whatevs' those hits.

For me, it wasn’t the hit, it was the fact that Lindholm didn’t have his legs five minutes later.

 

[Rosey Ruzicka]

Yay one legit penalty, lets take 10 more and get our moneys worth

 

[Ed Hillel]

Who cares

 

[Ed Hillel]

Player Safety? Seriously?

 

[allstonite]

Oh fuck off fake staratore. Yeah let’s look at a careless high stick and not all the high hits by Carolina

 

[The Napkin]

I mean, that’s completely fucking embarrassing. Holy shit, your best and second best defensemen get fucked on at least questionable hits, and Jake DeBrusk is the one sticking his nose in there and doing something more than grabbing and face washing.

And they’re running his ass out of town because Cassidy doesn’t like him.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Player Safety? Seriously?

When you have a chance to say something stupid, Dave Jackson took it and ran with it.

 

[Myt1]

I’d be embarrassed if these were my teammates in an IM basketball game.

 

[Rosey Ruzicka]

Oh fuck off fake staratore. Yeah let’s look at a careless high stick and not all the high hits by Carolina

Same story every year

 

[Ed Hillel]

Marchand trucked Lazar

 

[Deathofthebambino]

If someone doesn't run Svechnikov, I'm going to lose a ton of respect for this team and Cassidy.

This is the kind of game that absolutely calls for a line fight.

 

[Salem's Lot]

And they’re running his ass out of town because Cassidy doesn’t like him.

Exactly. The kids done nothing but play his ass off for months.

 

[The Napkin]

Marchand effect. For better or worse they will never get a call while he’s here

 

[allstonite]

Get svechnikov to drop em if he keeps wanting to be tough

 

[Ed Hillel]

That was gonna go in and got tipped into his glove lol

 

[TSC]

Coyle is playing a bit on edge as well. He's looking for something.

 

[LogansDad]

And they’re running his ass out of town because Cassidy doesn’t like him.

Yup. It's ridiculous. I thought Cassidy was good the first couple seasons and a breath of fresh air after Julien. But I was wrong.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Marchand effect. For better or worse they will never get a call while he’s here

100%. They will never get over Marchand licking a guy at the league office.

 

[Myt1]

They’re gutless. Regular season game, Hall wipes out a Colorado player with a clean hit and they hunt him the rest of the game. This game is out of reach, two of your best D Men got borderline hits, one’s out for the rest of the season probably, you desperately need a spark, and they’re wasting penalties with high sticks and holds.

 

[locknload]

I would fire Cassidy and keep debrusk. His just smirk and shake his head bullshit doesn't work in this league

Every hockey coach has a shelf life.

Didn’t they sign Foligno just for shit like this?

Shit I was saying that 4 months ago and I got laughed out of a game thread.

 

[TSC]

More importantly than that - this is now two playoff series in a row he's been outcoached and hasn't adjusted.

The Islanders pantsed him last year, and this series isn't looking so great yet, either.

 

[The Napkin]

I will admit to at times wondering what he’d get in a trade because of it. It’s just so obviously a thing unfortunately.

 

[Myt1]

At that money, ostensibly they signed him to provide offense in the greasy areas.

 

[TSC]

Didn’t they sign Foligno just for shit like this?

You can't hit someone if you can't catch them.

 

[shawnrbu]

Cassidy better go nuclear on these refs after the game.

Game 5 postgame last year was epic.

 

[durandal1707]

Cooper's outcoached him a couple times before that. The Bruins came out strong in Game 1, then completely wilted against the Lightning twice.

Add the blues series imho

y’all don’t have to convince me, I’ve been on his smirk and shake the head thing for years and my DeBrusk/Cassidy thing is well documented at this point

 

[cshea]

Cassidy is a top 10 coach. I wish he would work the officials harder but I wouldn’t fire him. The replacement is likely to be worse.

 

[Myt1]

Pasternak is a fucking phantom.

 

[Myt1]

Bruins coming out of this matching?

 

[Salem's Lot]

Cassidy is a top 10 coach. I wish he would work the officials harder but I wouldn’t fire him. The replacement is likely to be worse.

I would just rather rebuild and go with a coach that was more of a player development guy.

 

[LogansDad]

Too Many Men!!!!!! Here's where we turn it around!!!

 

[durandal1707]

Pasternak is a fucking phantom.

Just coasting out there.

 

[Ed Hillel]

How about a 5 on 3 for us?

 

[TSC]

How long till this PP gets wiped out by a call on the Bruins?
