I think Savard had a pretty decent game las tnight. I think he´s improving game after game.
I agree w/ Mick, I must have missed the Wheeler effort. He’s usally good for 2 – 4 shifts a night and then the rest of the time he’s just hovering around.
I hope they bring the 3rd period effort to tonights game. It’ll be interesting to see what will happen to that effort if they take an early lead.
those last six minutes were pretty nice to see, but the game should’ve been a lot closer throughout. it’s tough for the team to look good for a full game when Wheeler and Savard seem lost, confused or disinterested. the Bruins need these guys to focus EVERY night and score much more than they have been. it should be an easy game tonight and I hope to see a level of domination that’ll ease some worries about playoff readiness. when Ryder is a model of commitment and passion, something is wrong. Savard needs to pull it together and Wheeler should be traded. both ASAFP.
In all fairness, they did start to get some chances around the end of the second and looked pretty good then, and I thought the team looked useless until late in the third.
I thought Wheeler was pretty much useless until late in the second.
They looked disinterested until about 12 mins left in the game
I don’t understand why they don’t play hard for 60 mins.
I wish we could play the 60 minutes like we did the last 5. Agreed with MCK.
I think Marchand, Bergie, Wheeler and Campbell had a great game last night. It´s good to see those guys producing and it´s even better to see Marchand in Bergies line. It looks like he fit well in there.
Let´s hope we can have a good game against Ottawa now.
Not to put a damper on things, but the B’s did not look that good last night IMO. Sure, the last 6mins of the game (or thereabouts) were exciting, and they did what they had to do and stepped up. A few BS penalties went either side, and a real softy opened up the scoring in period 2. But by and large, their efforts to cross the Pens’ blue line and maintain offensive possession were painful to watch. Look, I’m happy they were able to catch a bit of a break and storm back to take the two points. But as far as a ’60-min effort’ and effectiveness on the offensive side of the puck, the Bruins still have a lot to prove.
The way they played in the third peroid last night is the way this team should be playing every peroid.Strong on the fore check good cycle n board work i saw a little passion last night.Loved Wheeler’s game he was a force so was Campbell n Marchand we are a big team we need to crash n bang create turnovers
Why can’t they play hard for 60 minutes? Great 5 minutes. yay.
The Rupp goal was super soft. Rask has to make that save.
Great effort for all. Last 4 mins were incrediable. Look out Ottawa.
Best third period the B’s have produced in a long, long time. Even though it took a while to get the puck in the net, they never stopped applying the pressure. And what happened? They out shot the Pens 13-2, and drew a couple of momentum-swinging penalties. It was fast-paced hockey, executed with a sense of urgency and a focus that we rarely see out of the B’s.
Tuukka deserves a lot of credit as well for making some key saves. The Rupp goal was a little bit of a fluke… but he didn’t have the angle needed to cut off the top corner, which is why he opened his arm. And he was completely screened on Letang’s goal. I’d argue that his strong positioning really anchored the defense tonight. Let’s hope they carry the energy into the Ottawa game tomorrow and bury the struggling Sens early at TD.
