Pre-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 2 7:41 PM - BRUINS @ Sunrise ( Boston leads series 1-0 ) - ESPN, CBC, SN, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[Cheevers Mask]

Would really like to see a 4th line of Lauko-Boqvist-Maroon.

Beecher has been struggling lately.

I agree.

 

[SPV]

4th line was hemmed in the whole time they were on with him. There's a reason he only got 8 minutes.

Not trying to be argumentative, but I think every line got hemmed in a lot. Florida had nearly 40 shots and a bunch of offensive zone time.

And they will continue to get shots and zone time, Its about limiting good scoring chances and try to let the goalie see the shots.

Florida hems in every team in the league, lets them skate around the perimeter all game. Its losing face offs in the d zone that needs to get better for me but unfortunately I don't think that's possible

@Ladyfan I see you liking posts over on the Leafs board '

Never change. One of our true board champions.

This. Bruins whole defensive structure is keep everyone to the perimeter. Let them shoot from outside the dots. Clear front of net.

Careful on that one fam. I got forum banned for it. Sensitive bunch

Worth it

 

[gerrycheeversmask]

I agree.

For a moment there, I thought I had quoted myself!

 

[TD Charlie]

Worth it

Oh it absolutely was. I regret nothing. I see funny post, i press laugh. I’m a simple man

Have they had Bergeron, or someone good on faceoffs come in and teach ? Anyone know ?

Boston dropped from 3rd last season to 18th this season in league faceoff win percentage.
With all the centers on the team they have to find someone to help out, probably why Brown was there. Another game of Barkov at 68% and Coyle at 35% will not end well.

 

[Acie]

I have a gig tonight from 7-10pm.

My bandmate is also my partner.

I'm estimating that the amount of times I get in trouble for checking the score will be greater than the amount of faceoffs the Bruins win tonight.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Yeah winning this one is gravy since they already took back the home ice advantage, but F it...I'm greedy. Lets put a stranglehold on the series

 

[Bridges31]

Need to see more from McAvoy. I think if he gets going it will be a key part to winning this series.

Same. I’m feeling great already, but expectations shift game to game, so I wanna head home with 2.

Need to see more from McAvoy. I think if he gets going it will be a key part to winning this series.

What’s crazy is we could point to several players with that same thought. Coyle, Zacha, Marchand, Debrusk, McAvoy, Frederic…should any of these guys go on a heater then we are in for a fun time

Edit. I’ll put Pastrnak in there as well. Had the epic game winner but we all know he’s got a long way to go before he tops out

 

[UConn126]

I'm assuming no goalie decision until game time?

 

[Bruin]

If they play like they did from about the 5 minute mark in the first to the end they should come away with another win. Rough’em up now that we have the horses to get it done.

 

[bbruins3]

Did I? I know I liked some on the Hab's board.

I laughed on a couple of Leaf posts. Got a stern warning. Not a good idea

 

[lopey]

Is it 730 yet

 

[lopey]

Sway was first off ice at morning skate. He likely in again

 

[McGarnagle]

The number of times the Bruins have smacked around the opponent in game 1 then turned around and laid an egg in game 2 (including two weeks ago) is astounding. Break the cycle and go up 2-0

 

[ProdigalFan]

Bergy is too busy enjoying his "Dad jeans" era, playing tennis and learning guitar.
