Bruins vs. Lightning Highlights: Boston Dominates Tampa Bay In Electric 7-3 Win
[Applause] the Bruins with two very important penalty kills here we have uh the they’re just leading 53 here this one was huge guys the Special Teams four for four on the night ended up winning 73 the final but it all comes down to moments like this where you can shift the moment right
Third period these were massive plays here on the PK so sticks bodies you know desperation but yet control desperation in the third period here they needed these kills Y and then this ends up being a goal after headman breaks his 122 Flex 100 the 22 Flex stick in half
Then takes it all the way down Martian does to us and they scor those PKS were enormous in the third they were huge because Tampa Bay had the momentum going at that one point there out shooting the it was like 8-1 in the third period had all that territorial advantage and you
Need your specialty teams to come through as brick had said and uh a good effort a good bounce back offensively but there’s still a lot of things that need a little bit of help on the defensive side but we’ll talk about that a little later she started dancing like
This you’re doing this I was just going to say I got to do this seven times today seven times you’re you’re moving to the old oh sorry he’s the oldie you’re to the old no no I’m ancient I’m old I am old now no doubt frck uh brick
Called me a lane from Seinfeld I’ll I I’m not gonna get into that this is overtime live presented by by a toa.com for offers Not Seen On TV Vis by at toyota.com all right we’re already into it 74 the final we just talked about how important those kills were guys and of
Course you want to get into what the Bruins can improve but overall I thought that they they fought hard okay I’ll let you tell what you think no go go go we know you’re taking our jobs they gave up the first goal yeah eventually they gave up the first
Goal and I thought that they remained composed and of course at the end there like you said it was it was desperate but they got the job done the empty Netter and Charlie Coyle with that goal great finish yeah the only part I would I mean they weren’t they weren’t
Composed early and then they were better and then they weren’t again y too many turnovers too many for a while but what they did is they rided the ship at the right time that they eventually they got some great performances from Trent Frederick he bulldozed his way around
The ice I think I think partner I think we’re seeing kind of that versioning of a of a power forward or you know that that the Bruins need they desperately need and perhaps even in the top six I mean right now I love him on the in the
On the third line because of the mismatches that he can get but we’re seeing him kind of blossoming there you you know where I want him I know I know think I believe he is a top six and I think he’s really starting to believe that he’s capable of it and he’s again
Not only the offense from the from the top six side but it’s that physicality it’s that involvement that he’s getting rewarded for on the by playing the power play and so forth today he’s a very valuable uh player on this team my guess but is that you’ll see him in an
Opportunity up there sooner than later yeah because especially as Jim mtgy moves things around not afraid to guys have been in and out of the line but remember jvr didn’t play in this one he’s dayto day right now with that lower body so we’ll have to wait and see but
Trent Freddy getting opportunity at least on the second power play as Barry and I talked about it’s good stuff for him that’s big confidence booster absolutely and he got his first power play point of his career a multi-goal game for him again starting here yeah
When he say this he kind of thought in the interview with Adam this wasn’t only his first Power Play goal bil this may have been his first Power Play shot of his career of his career he said as he was joking of course but he is uh a
Great play Here by shat Kirk cuz he recognized he waited and he wait and he allowed headman to go out to De brasque and all of a sudden it was a parting of the sea and you’re going to see shaton Kirk hit hit him down low Billy but boy
He just allowed everything to happen didn’t he sure did he’s going to look to his right and he’s just going to shake a little right there just that footwork in out gives him an extra literally half a second and just enough of a more of a of
A lane or a seam right there you see the little shimmy back it allows him to get away from the Stick of Glen Denning Trent Frederick he absolutely does a beautiful job here of presenting his stick the entire time and then he comes to the middle and he gets a fortuitous
Quick ramp up off the Stick of of best left but you can see the confidence there too Billy when he got that puck he did should get rid of it right away he took it from his forehead across his body and then got it up so we started to
Get his confidence kind of like we talked about posano getting his goal against Pittsburgh on Thursday night where he got it was like okay there’s no Panic here I’m going to take this and make a nice little quiet move Freddy’s starting to get some confidence yes I
Joked about him looking like David pck in front of the net there he is our sugu star of the game because Trent Frederick also scored again in this one so this is his third multi-goal game of the season once again I said he’s our Subaru star
Of the game as we take a look at Trent Frederick’s numbers from last season to this season check out these numbers so tell me 14 points in the last 19 games since November 25th that game against the Rangers yeah 14 points in that time now so he is really starting to shine
You see the minutes going up significantly that’s a big difference that’s a shift or two per period that keeps players involved that much more good for him and it’s going to continue rising up folks as long as he keeps playing like this let’s show you his
Second goal of the night and this one to open the scoring in the second period Bruins moov the puck up the ice and then they get it out of traffic and here he comes in again showing some great Poise but also creativity Vision perhaps more than anything understanding that he has
The puck and he sees that vasileski skate is off the post there just enough and he uses him to the bank it in yeah had a really nice job there by poer who’s got h on the play from Juno and then of course your buddy coup was not
Too happy about it he thought there was a whistle for sure and I think he’s kind of thanking them wishing them happy New Year you know kind of wanting to make sure that they got their uh their Christmas card yeah I uh he’s not Billy jaffy that’s how Billy looks when he’s
Happy that’s right that is right there C’s my idol but he was upset because I think there was I think there was a whistle simultaneous to the puck going in yeah I I I I can’t it’s hard to tell regardless it’s a good goal the referees were
Explaining why it was a good goal and he didn’t like it first it was the young rep then the old one came in when Chris Rooney came in there was a little bit of that you know I think Rooney was telling go back over there go back and and he
Didn’t and and he gave it to him and then so Chris Rooney gave it to him and POA for his first game back you know disappointing obviously the candada didn’t uh medal oh yeah right the world junior but a situation where he had a couple of helpers and uh held on to the
Puck was very confident got banged around a couple of times but he bounced right back David poster knock we’ve seen it in the shootout not that this was a shootout but the way he just outmuscled his opponent and got that shot out off beautiful goal here yeah it was and a
Key is right here you’re going to see he’s going to go for the Pucket he goes oh I can see that Zach has got it then I’m off to the races and just uses his body so well Billy his strength to the left side and because he he’s moving so
Fast zaleski can’t come out and he because he can’t come out where’s he going to go he’s got nowhere to go and that gives postu that extra two in that he needs to make shot I love the read you pointed this out how immediately the puck comes around he accelerates gets
Away here he invites the contact from radish but by inviting it he doesn’t keep slowing down he keeps going he Shields the puck and then he just smokes it upstairs but if he kept watch so from this angle here y if he Fades away and doesn’t CH see he challenges right there
To come to the middle if he Fades away what what that what that does right there that allows radish then to push him off just a little more but by inviting that contact and then continuing to drive and with the speed that he had generated he’s able to turn
Right there and protect the puck and by driving what is he doing he’s improving his angle ABS that’s absolutely absolutely so I was just going to ask if he doesn’t invite him in then he’s he’s losing a better angle right well not only is he Los an angle he allows for
Radish to keep going straight and to take away meaning to put his stick out more he absolutely invites that initial contact so then he can get on the inside of him right there if he doesn’t get inside vasileski is going to go out with him immediately mediately and take down
That angle love it love the read guys there so David poso in his last seven games 12 points for him a plus five rating 30 shots on net and a couple of Power Point how lucky are we to watch pastan and coocher off tonight yes and
How about Crosby oh yeah yes the other yes unbelievable Superstars man were they good exciting well listen Morgan geeky also got on the board in this one for his eighth of the Season yeah we talk in the pregame Billy Bo guy who’s uh you know picking it up he’s given an
Opportunity to play some Center he’s doing a good job of driving to the net great pass here by pasta and he lets that shot go I’m not sure if it goes off radish uh D Han stick or not here the situation where just such a quick release you can’t tell but boy right
Here just one quick pass Lindholm reads it he moves his legs right away and then as he’s able to pull away he finds geeky over to Pasta bang but I think I’m not sure right there basilis didn’t quite get it cuz it went off a stick I can’t
Tell well I I don’t know R watch here comes the uh radish is coming across and the puck is oh that was the save that was was made before then we’re going to you know see uhar coming up Carlo had had a tough time at times behind the net
Uh in this game but here you go the little soft passes that that rookie defense there I don’t think radish gets it I I I don’t but I think what the key here Barry it’s the quickness of the release I think vasileski in all honesty
Bud would say I had to make that sa yeah and and he didn’t vasileski by the way didn’t it’s not himself that’s not taking anything away from the Bruins the Bruins did their job they had to but he’s not himself that we’re used to seeing regularly but the Bruins with
That quick release and that shot in particular I think threw him off uh and once they started getting those opportunities the Bruins the Bruins scored key goals at Key times in this game too yes and had some key saves at Key times as well Charlie makoy got his
Fourth of the Season his first in 18 games he talked to Adam pin after this one put a sound there our apologies we’ll get you that in interview though it was great hey I don’t think Adam sound has ever sounded so good I agree hey Adam I
I’m here to defend you you do a great job uh obviously we are going to get you that interview when we get the sound back uh but guys why don’t we discuss Charlie makavo goal though so that was great shot we were wondering if it hit
Something in front it didn’t he got it his first in 18 big deal for yeah but Mo yeah and more importantly though we’ve been talking about you know the Bruins needing to get offense from their defense lol’s been picking it up a little bit we want to see grizzli shoot
A little bit more and we like to see makoy shoot more yes and and a a lot of the time it’s not going to be pretty but by getting it and shadon Kirk’s a perfect example by getting it by the opposing forward and getting it on net where it’s dangerous good things happen
Yeah and Charlie I mean he’s such a maestro from the back and he has the puck on his stick so much yes he you you know you want him to become that threat and and he did and and he did you know and and a lot of times it’s just about
Release again the quickness of the release and Puck placement and again A lot of times these guys are putting it intentionally wide a foot or two and if it carams in great or if it ends up seeing eyes and goes through two bodies awesome I think we found the unmute
Button so let’s give it to Adam pin and Charlie makoy
