Rangers’ blocks prove Bruins have to work harder to stack up
A couple victories this week featuring plenty of points from their back end might’ve caused the Bruins to think these things are going to come easy. Hopefully for them the Rangers’ block party alerted them to how much harder they have to work for their offense during the rest of the stretch run.

I think another Ryder benching is called for. He looks like crap on the second line, he’s useless as a 4th line guy, and the 3rd line is looking good right now. I’d put Marchand back on the second line, Paille on the 4th line, and Ryder in the press box.
I agree with with your Ryder insight TLC not only is playing without any confidence he doesnt appear to be trying to work his way out of it..maybe calling up Caron would help light a fire under his ass…
I don’t think they played all that well today. I don’t think they totally stunk, but they had a really hard time generating any sustained offense in the first two periods. They picked it up in the third period, but it was too little too late.
With every game it becomes pretty clear that there isn’t really a place for Ryder on the team. He doesn’t fit with the fourth line, he pretty much stinks on Bergeron’s line and the Kelly, Peverly, Seguin seems to be clicking.
Call me wrong, but I thought we played a pretty good game against a pretty good team today. I really liked what I saw, especially in the third period. We did what Detroit does. Detroit always plays a full 60 minutes, but when it comes to the third period, and it’s close, they just put it into a whole new gear and punish weaker teams.
I felt that we really took it to the Rangers today, and if they weren’t on such a streak themselves, the result would have been similar to Montreal’s. I just love how the Bruins played like there was only one minute left in the game, when there were like twelve minutes left in the game. I believe that this hunger will transfer into the next game and hopefully we catch the opponents sleeping like we did against Montreal.
But yeah, quite possibly the best loss of the year for us.
Bruins seemed to lack the energy needed to slow down the highly inspired Rangers today. They turned it up in the 3rd and showed they can dominate when they want. There were a few outlet passes I saw that should have been made to avoid those blocked shots, and Lungtvist wasn’t tested with traffic until the 3rd period. I think it would have been a different game if was held tonight at 7:30PM. My opinion.
Too many shots from the point. This team needs to work down low. They are insanely easy to defend sometimes.
