My “biggest thoughts” are for games that I am actually able to watch. For games that I do watch I take notes on every individual period and record everything I happen to blurt out. For games I can’t watch, I’ll be recapping on what I see from replays and the box score.
I’ll also be referring to the Bruins as “we” in most cases. Let’s get to it. Jan. 17 - 23 Jan. 24 - 30 Jan. 31 - Feb. 6 Feb. 7 - 13
Detroit Red Wings, 02/14/2016, @Detroit
The Bruins are coming off the win over the Minnesota Wild and the firing of Mike Yeo (Boston Bruins: Putting Nails in Coffins). It wasn’t a perfect game and it ultimately came down to a goal by Krejci that almost wasn’t even a goal. Hopefully things were addressed and the B’s can come out stronger. Thoughts on first period: “Colin Miller Returns”
“Clear the crease, please”
Thoughts on second period: “Rask chased again”
“Back and forth battle.”
Thoughts on the third period: “KEMPY”
“Hitting game”
“Guys are literally skating into each other”
“Henrik Zetterberg – Pavel Datsyuk - Justin Abdelkader”
“Kevan Miller goes out at the wrong times”
“Keven Miller didn’t work with three minutes left”
Overall Thoughts: 6 – 5 L - This was a battle for a very large portion of the game. Bruins showed a lot of fight and bite in this game, and I like that. Smarter decisions need to be made offensively and defensively. The top line wasn’t out there at the end until there were merely seconds left on the clock, so line changes need to be talked about.
Columbus Blue Jackets, 02/16/2016, @Columbus Big tilt coming out of a loss in Detroit. Adam McQuaid is back after going down with an upper body injury awhile back so there’s a lot of excitement about that coming into this game. Thoughts on first period: “Too many passes on the power play”
“HEY QUIADER”
“Ref is a plug”
Thoughts on second period: “Rask with two big ones”
“Nothing clean”
Thoughts on third period: “NO LANES”
“…. MILLER…...”
Thoughts on overtime: “DOPE” (See below) Overall Thoughts: 2 – 1 L Wasn’t a pretty game at all. Line changes still proving to be an issue. But at this point, 2 points are two points. Rematch coming next week.
Nashville Predators, 02/18/2016, @Nashville I wasn’t able to watch this game. But all you really need to know about it came from Claude Julien in a post-game presser: "Wasn't good enough. The first period wasn't very good. Theirs was extremely good. They came at us hard and we kept turning pucks over in our own end, and they got a couple of goals there. In the second period, it was much better than the first. They didn't get much, but at the same time we didn't think we battled or worked hard enough to get on the inside, and for the longest time we seemed to be playing on the outside and making it easier for their goaltender to make those saves. In the third period we seemed a little more desperate, but in the end we couldn't catch a break there to at least get that first goal." Overall thoughts: 2 – 0 L ZERO FOR FOUR on the power play. We kept Nashville out of the net on their two power plays, so special teams weren’t terrible, but regardless: what the hell is going on with the power play? Basically:
Dallas Stars, 02/20/2016, @Dallas I wasn’t able to watch this game at all and I’m very upset about that. Both teams coming off of a loss, last game on the road trip, Tyler Seguin. Tilt. Overall Thoughts: 7 – 3 W
