GDT: Bruins at Panthers, 7 p.m. EST, March 5

[WaitingForThatCab]

Next loss Saturday, March 7th at the BB&T Center.

8th straight loss at home. Tied for 5th longest streak in NHL history. Well done boys.

And they’re just getting started!!!

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

It was a well played game! I am happy with the effort in a loss!

BUT

Yandle still passing while having a clear lane...

Barkov needs to bury some chances.. What's going on?!

Huby, are you there?

PP? Ohh, fml

But hey!

Driedger has been great today!

I also liked Weegs & Stillman on defense! Stillman is awesome. Really cool down to earth guys and steps up for his teammates!!

And one more thing... I hate the Bruins fans. Ughhhhh

Man I feel bad, coming from Europe and they've lost every game you've seen, hopefully they come through Saturday, should be a special night.

Holy shit can we play on the road ASAP?

We've reached the point where hoping for a tank is more realistic than hoping for the playoffs.

Sure it sucks... I am happy with the effort though tonight!

I am not gonna get my hopes up anymore!

For me : I got an autograph/photo of MacKenzie and Stillman each...

That was already worth it!!

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

You know on Kitchen Nightmares where Chef Gordon Ramsay goes and screams at everyone owners staff etc and tells them their shit and their businesses culture is shit etc.


We need that but for this franchise.

Looks like the D plays much better when Driedger is in net. He should play for the reminder of the season.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Continuing the discussion from yesterday, I did extensive scouting last night and found a suitable replacement for VT21

I'm pleased to introduce the new 2C,

Afgeney Trashcanov

Now while compared to Trocheck, you'll lose 10 goals, you'll save 50 because Trashcanov will actually be in the defensive zone at times, and it's only going to cost the league minimum, saving over 4 million in salary. An absolute win.

And he actually makes saves without flopping everywhere immediately afterwards or losing the puck.

 

[Ghoste]

Just jumping on Twitter but that Boston Murphy guy believes Dads’ elbow was on purpose. Lol Said he looked back so he can land the elbow.

Just stick to those always wrong insider trade info tweets.

They do. Goalie Bob hasn't been a problem in a very long time though, he's been good

 

[Thomas Colavecchio]

Watching much of the B's game on TV, it looked like the D coverage was better...more aggressive toward limiting space for the B's forwards. Not really sure if it had anything to do with Driedger being in net or not. But during the week, the comments from the players about the last few days practice since the Flames game, and making some changes expecting better results, bothered me...It took 66 games to realize that something needed to change?? Something really stinks here...

 

[Prominence Problem]

Did the Panthers get two points? No, just one.

Did Toronto get two points? No, just one.



Carry on playoff push, carry on...

Your optimism is amazing. I thought nobody could beat thePatientPanther, but even he got worn down, and changed his name.

I heard this guy is pretty f**** effective at blocking shots and won't shy away even in front of the hardest shots in the league, so definitely a great upgrade.

And you get free trash pandas from time to time.
I mean, this is a win-win.

I'm trying to be realistic and just look at the numbers.

Although saying that I thought they matched the Bruins quite well last game. Not better, not worse, it was a pretty even game.

And if the Leafs lose tonight, it's going to be hard to ignore having two games in hand, plus a head-to-head matchup only down Five Points.

Bloody hell! I had to take refuge in another country and continent to reset myself. Coming back even more improved and even more optimistic!!

Pretty much means Judge will start again


Also Boyle is wearing a regular jersey

 

[Chessarmy]

This season being a failure means a full rebuild is all but inevitable within the next few years at the latest. Barkov and Huberdeau aren’t signed that long term, I think both have the “grass is always greener” mentality and will bounce as soon as they can. They’ll need to be traded in their UFA seasons.

Basically our “window” is being totally wasted right now. Even if they make it next season or the season after it’s probably too little too late.

Hope you’re all excited for rebuild version 253!!!!

Only one thing is a major hindrance to this team: being OK with losing. Thus, I think that best course of action is to conduct some spring cleaning as far as the supposed core is concerned. First man to go is Yandle and then Hubs. Trade Hubs for a top3 LD, maybe a 3rd line center and a pick; and Yandle for a decent 3rd liner, top5 dman, or a 2nd round pick. They can turn it around quickly but all depends on being able steer clear from guys like Yandle.

Good.

 

[MPGA]

Still beyond vexed at captain clutch and his breakaway fail. Same weak move he tried in OT in game 6 of the Islanders series. Dude just isn't built for high stakes situations.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Played pretty well. Felt like they got screwed on that penalty call against Dadanov. Which lead to Boston's PP goal. Limited Boston's shots, played good defensively. Could have been a shutout.
