SportsNet is having lots of fun with Bon Jovi coming to a halt with the Staal goal. I wish I had an option to watch a different broadcast. The game was on satellite radio but was conveniently 30 second behind the tv broadcast so that wasn’t any good.

The third period was unwatchable. I had a feeling most of the game that it wasn't going to be our night.
This should be a wake up call for the boys though. I think they are still in great shape. Get Bergeron back and go right back to Ullmark. This team didn't slump at all the entire year. I don't expect it to start now!

Forget this game. Burn the film. Move on. Win game 3.

Not a lot of PP thus far for the Canes. Second game Monty bringing up not playing fast and offensively enough. Time to put Gryz back in. Interesting call with Ullmark. If not 100% healthy Sway gets the nod. I’m thinking about putting Lauko in but think Foligno gets another shot.

Worst period of the year, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. My hope is this snaps them around and reminds them that teams aren't going to just roll over for them. And no matter what the regular season stats tell them, everyone is back to level once the playoffs start. I thought our first was fine, our second was not great but we were tied after 2. The third was unacceptable, giving up a goal 22 seconds in showed we didn’t come out ready. Ullmark didn’t give us the saves he was giving us all year. Yup, Ullmark looked off towards the end. I also mentioned to Seabass that I thought both Lindholm and Orlov had particularly rough nights.

It's right up there with Sweet Caroline on the list of obnoxious sports anthems that have been incredibly overplayed.

You could put Mac in there too. Along wall held on to it too long that lead to one of 3 goals (not counting ENG) in the 3rd. Way too many BAD turnovers, no flow really in the O zone. Made Lyon look like Veznia canidate WHICH he is far from!

I mentioned this in another post, I don’t like our forwards getting abused when they don’t have the puck. If it’s a puck battle it’s fine, fair game but it’s supposed to be called interference when you don’t have the puck. The Florida defence is big and dirty but not mobile, the non calls for their garbage plays right into their game plan. Monte needs to get into the refs ears, it usually does have an impact, brinkmanship if nothing else.
I wouldn’t go with Grz next game, the Panthers are playing dump chase and crush. At the very least it results in a lot of board battles and Grz wouldn’t win many of those.

Charlie’s crossbar changed everything Just rewatching the game, couldn’t agree more. Mac’s crossbar and we had a pretty good all round stretch while we were down 3-2 with a few chances but 4-2 ended it completely. 4-2 goal was all on Mac and Ullmark didn’t look good either. We need more out of Krejci and Pasta 5 on 5. Maybe even put Zacha back with Pasta and Bert and Maybe Coyle with Marchand and Debrusk. Hall, Krejci and Frederic could be effective.. Pasta has to do more than just float around, if he can’t get open he needs to work for pucks and at least be a pain in the ass.

Maurice running the show now Hes a giant toddler. I do despise him with all my might. Pack that game away and move forward. Everyone shit the bed including Ullmark. It was what it was. On to FLA....

As Offwego used to say we didn’t get any puck luck last night , just seemed to bounce the wrong way for a change. We will be fine .

Ullmarks lack of playing time for a starter really concerns me!! He's used to playing maybe 2 games in a row but never 3 SO how do he react next game or more importantly, how does the defense respond? Gotta cut down on turnovers for sure..I have confidence in this Bruins team to get the job done and same with Monty..They'll figure this out before long and hopefully Bergy will soon return!!

I absolutely love the confidence you all have and add me to that list..I firmly believe we'll at least take one game in Florida..Even a split we regain home ice..Bruins were 31-8-2 on the road this season so maybe this is just what they need..

One of my fears with Ullmark is that maybe he’s exhausted from the illness, maybe he lost 8 pounds like Lauko. Also Linus tweaked something the last regular season game. Sway had a bout of that same illness so maybe he’s no better off also I thought Sway was a mess in Montreal. The problem is I think, we are still playing regular season hockey and Florida is playing desperate playoff hockey. If Florida had lost game 2 they would’ve needed to win 4 of 5 to beat us. Game 2 was essentially their elimination game and they played like it. I think the Bruins D is far better than the Florida D. Our D has time to make decisions but they have less time, they’re too casual. They’re not used to making quick decisions. They’re not making the easy out when they need to. It’s just an adjustment, it’s playoff hockey. We haven’t flipped the switch to playoff hockey but in game 3 I think that changes. The Bruins are going to be more dialed in tonight!

Who was the goalie in the 2 games losses to Fla. this season? was it split?? Linus did not play his calm collected game Wed. he was flopping & looked desperate especially that goal where he barrel rolled & threw his legs up to have it go in hi stick side.

I thought that barrel roll was weird for him too. Did he abandon his usual style because he is flustered or is he a little behind because of fatigue? Both are a concern.

I have really felt like "Year 1" Ullmark has shown up for the playoffs. He doesn't look near as steady in there. He is all over the place! He needs to calm down and play like the did this year. If he looks like a little off again, there is no question I am going to Swayman for Game 4.

I’m sure his Parents are proud It would have been great if Nosek had said something like, 'Good clean hit? That's rich coming from you you dirty fucking shit bag! Keep swinging that stick and cross checking people in the back after the whistle!' I didn't have much respect for Tkachuk to begin with and this series isn't improving that opinion.
