Why the fuck is he even playing that?They are fucking horrendous with the puck in their own end. Right down to Linus. Inexcusable sloppiness and stupidity in that end all night. Fuuuuuuuck.
In overtime too. I mean, playoff overtime in a handshake game the rules are not fucking complicated.Literally just play it away from pressure.
Their defense outplayed our defense. By a long shot.Much better team loses.
This series better not fucking come back here on Sunday.
Are they fucking colorblindUllmark thought the defenseman was a Panther and vice versa
His play on the last one was on him, but not in a making stops sense. He was hung out to dry or tipped on by his own team on the other 3. He's fineOn the ice the Bruins dominated. But it seems like, except for game one, Ullmark has turned into the decent but not great goalie he’s basically always been, and not the superstar he was all season long.
Mind boggling. A deep, talented, relentless team. But they are not tight and disciplined at times.Why the fuck is he even playing that?
Yeah, but it doesn’t even matter. He had an extremely safe play that you take every time in overtime. Every time you are out of the net, you are exposed.Ullmark thought the defenseman was a Panther and vice versa
Im just assuming that this is who he is in the playoffs. Soft on the puck and incapable of creating and finishing at a high level.I still can’t get over pasta. I’ve seen lost. I’ve seen possibly injured. I’ve seen low confidence. I’ve seen snake bitten. But never all simultaneously from such a great player
He is getting the shit beat out of him on every shift.I still can’t get over pasta. I’ve seen lost. I’ve seen possibly injured. I’ve seen low confidence. I’ve seen snake bitten. But never all simultaneously from such a great player
Yes, just play it around the other way.Yeah, but it doesn’t even matter. He had an extremely safe play that you take every time in overtime. Every time you are out of the net, you are exposed.
Our teams ranging from good to historically good for literally 20+ years now is obviously great but has made it impossible to avoid literally dozens of the kind of backbreaking losses that you still stress about a decade+ later.I hate sports. Fucking hate them.
If anything is fucking up the mojo around here, it’s the continuous references to that series. This team isn’t closing down Daisy Buchanan’s, or the Branding Iron, or whatever gin mill they couldn’t stay out of on St. Catherine St that year.My lingering 1971 PTSD gave me a bad feeling about this game. Sudden death OT is only slightly less random than a fucking coin flip.
The issue is we all know he'll keep Forbert in the lineup despite him being terrible in basically every game this series. It's mind boggling. I don't mind Lauko over Freddie. But Foligno has no buisness in the lineupI’m putting this one on Monty on three fronts:
-Forbort over Clifton. Or Zboril. Or Mike Reilly.
-Lauko/Foligno over Frederic. You put your most talented 12 out there.
-Yeah, Bergeron’s back in the lineup, but the line tinkering went too far, and it took them the better part of a period to get things back, and only once he put Bergeron and Marchand back together.
This, this, this and a thousand time this and I was endorsing the line-up stuff but goddamnit!I’m putting this one on Monty on three fronts:
-Forbort over Clifton. Or Zboril. Or Mike Reilly.
-Lauko/Foligno over Frederic. You put your most talented 12 out there.
-Yeah, Bergeron’s back in the lineup, but the line tinkering went too far, and it took them the better part of a period to get things back, and only once he put Bergeron and Marchand back together.
It doesn’t matter if he is or not—it’s that he is expecting it every time he touches the puck and it’s affecting his play. He was practically alone on goal at one point and passed it back to a covered teammate rather than shoot. He has zero confidence.He is getting the shit beat out of him on every shift.
Agreed Monty got way too cute, why fix what wasn't broken for 82 games. Definitely cost 10mins of the first period where SOG were like 10-2 FL. In a game that goes to OT where you never have the lead those 10mins might have been useful.I’m putting this one on Monty on three fronts:
-Forbort over Clifton. Or Zboril. Or Mike Reilly.
-Lauko/Foligno over Frederic. You put your most talented 12 out there.
-Yeah, Bergeron’s back in the lineup, but the line tinkering went too far, and it took them the better part of a period to get things back, and only once he put Bergeron and Marchand back together.
Agreed. Too clever by half was the theme tonight.I’m putting this one on Monty on three fronts:
-Forbort over Clifton. Or Zboril. Or Mike Reilly.
-Lauko/Foligno over Frederic. You put your most talented 12 out there.
-Yeah, Bergeron’s back in the lineup, but the line tinkering went too far, and it took them the better part of a period to get things back, and only once he put Bergeron and Marchand back together.
Love this summary, well saidMind boggling. A deep, talented, relentless team. But they are not tight and disciplined at times.
Is there any chance the contract took an edge off? I mean even a small lack of focus or relaxing a bit might get magnified at this level where teams like the Panthers have another gear.I still can’t get over pasta. I’ve seen lost. I’ve seen possibly injured. I’ve seen low confidence. I’ve seen snake bitten. But never all simultaneously from such a great player
He was really good following it. He’s had playoff issues before, however…Is there any chance the contract took an edge off? I mean even a small lack of focus or relaxing a bit might get magnified at this level where teams like the Panthers have another gear.
The next 48 will be awesome -- just watch.The last 24 hours have really fucking sucked. My god.
This is practically a shot for shot replay of several playoff performances he has had in recent years. I don’t buy it.Is there any chance the contract took an edge off? I mean even a small lack of focus or relaxing a bit might get magnified at this level where teams like the Panthers have another gear.
Befuddling.He was really good following it. He’s had playoff issues before, however…
Sorry, I'm damaged. I'll shut up now. (But the penalty on Orr for closing his hand on the puck was bullshit.)If anything is fucking up the mojo around here, it’s the continuous references to that series. This team isn’t closing down Daisy Buchanan’s, or the Branding Iron, or whatever gin mill they couldn’t stay out of on St. Catherine St that year.
