Into The Den 3 – Game 39 – Mac Daddy – BOS 3, COL 4 (SO)
Yeah time slipped away from me on this one folks just like the BR just like the one because the Bruins lose four to3 in the shootout against the Colorado Avalanche welcome back down into the den uh I got to be honest even though the Bruins lost tonight or rather last night
It kind of kind of this it’s a gray area it started at 9:00 so that means a little bit was played into into today uh still no rain today unfort which is kind of frustrating I was told there was going to be rain today to wash away all the
Snow there was no rain but uh yeah there was a even though we lost of I’m a I’m not as frustrated as I thought I was going to be because ultimately we end up losing we end up losing Carlo in this game to a lower to I think an
Upper body injury in like the second period which is frustrating because it’s it’s Carlo it’s it’s Carlo and if there’s one thing that Brandon Carlo is known for it’s it’s it’s upper body injuries so that was frust so that was frustrating but but was but the fact
That we even got a point out of this one was really good it was really good and like I went to the last night’s game kind of kind of worried really kind of worried especially because Nathan McKinnon and and moo ranin insane Duo like I like I remember
Uh I remember when we playing watch hockey get drunk with my with my family and friends it’s a little bit ago uh and during an intermission I and during an intermission I had gotten it in a card that said like think think in your head of the best player in the
NHL and when you have it ask everybody to to say who they think it it is is is my sister’s boyfriend said said McKinnon not McKinnon my sister’s boyfriend said McDavid my dad I think said said uh I think he said Crosby and my sister said Co my sister
Said Charlie Coy and I said no no I no I really think that Nathan McKinnon is the best player in the NHL right now just insane Puck possession on him and and he showed and and I got to say he didn’t really show up too much this game but
But it was but I mean it’s a lot better than what posnak did speaking of POS we will get to him later on it’s weird cuz like in the first period uh the Bruins weren’t great the Bruins weren’t great like like yes Colorado had that uh
Power Play that we almost scored that we had two short-handed Chan is on and I was so so ready to get it hype as hell for a short-handed goal because I don’t think that there is a single method of scoring in the NHL that is more hype than the shorthanded
Goal well cuz it’s just like you got you guys suck on the power play so much that we’re going to that we’re going to score even a man down and uh yeah yeah that not scoring on either of those sucked and uh espe especially because through the entire first period uh Swan
Was our best player Swan was our best player none of the lines were really that cohesive except for the fourth line except for the fourth line which uh I know this is weird I know this is weird to say bfist beater Steen is actually a pretty good line it’s actually a pretty
Decent bottom uh fourth line and I again you have no idea how much how much that hurts me to say especially because I really really want to see mov playing which by the way merav got sent back down to the the AHL uh decent showing in the games that he
Played but definitely wanting to see more from him uh can’t wait to see when lysell come comes up uh also Lori Lori went back down to the to the AHL uh that sucked that really sucked especially because Matt grizzli we’re got to have a talk
Okay grizzli was half of one of the best defensive pairs in hockey last year legit legitimately go on go on money Puck for sort 2022 2023 regular season and defensive pairings based on goals allowed per six per 60 minutes it’s played and and there were only two pairs above
Above of above grizzli and makoy if I’m not mistaken and they were o mod Phil pronic and and uh Ryan MCD and and Roman Yosi which which the first one is the first one is is kind of understandable Ma and and pronic are both really really really defensively minded forwards except for
The fact that you know honic decided yeah I’m going to I’m going to have like 17 assists in the first in the first three weeks of the Season that was funny uh and then Yosi and MCD great both of them are fantastic two8 defenseman and
And and that seemed to be the case for the for the bro that seemed to be the case for MC for makoy and for and for grizzli makoy is still doing all right right grizzli has fallen off of a precipice this his defense his defense is is soft as a baby’s ass
And and he cannot generate offense to save his life he is basically what people who did not like the start of hampus lolms season thought hampus Lindholm was like now using hindsight we can we can all agree that Lyn Holmes main problem was was he got out to an insane start
Last season in in terms of scoring and so have SO waiting like seven in weeks to score his first goal was a little bit it was a little bit confusing but you know what that’s fine that’s fine because it because lolm kept up the defensive play except for that one goal
That I still will not give him it that I will still not forgive him for the one where you know oh I think it’s Mason Mason McTavish cutting cutting inside lyol you are supposed to keep him to the outside anyway Martian has a has a bit
Of a shade of of uh of pasta uh with the first goal of the game a really slow Zone entry and really weak defense from and from Colorado oh well a really slow Zone entry from from Boston facilitated by really weak defense from Colorado allows uh allows
Marian to take the puck do like a really slow three turn back around and then just snap it on gorv and and that is how we start the game one nothing I’ll take it don’t get too excited because because about five minutes later the Bruins are playing
Piss poor defense in their own Zone on the on the penalty kill uh I don’t know why our penalty kill is sort of wavering but I’m I’m not I’m not a power play Merchant I don’t I don’t know the in I don’t know the I don’t have the
Answers but Bruin’s playing really bad defense not even remote trying to get the puck Mar from up top goes to McKinnon from at the Circle McKinnon and and shoots far post for for ranin that is the Holy Trinity of the Colorado Avalanche kale mcard Nathan McKinnon and and moo Ranson and
And ranin ranin just has his stick on the ice in a in a way that that just allows the puck to right up right off the the stick and and up past Swan into the net one uh 1 one into the second period and uh oh
Boy H this this is frustrating this is this is sort of the this is sort of the moment that where I was like okay it’s no longer a matter of are we going to win this it’s how badly are we going to lose this yes because Kevin shaton Kirk trying to
Handle the puck he runs into he runs into paval zaka and Tweedle and Tweedle dumb like that and and who’s trailing behind them Drew o Conor who uh who just takes the puck and and rips it past Swan 21 off of one of the most unforced errors I think
I have ever seen this team commit what the [ __ ] was that guys I’m sorry it was Logan o Conor not Drew o Conor but still what the [ __ ] guys makes the steel wh sorry about that I will not be editing that out I am tired and I do not
Feel like it I’m sorry uh but we but SEC but ignoring the mishaps of the we end up with the puck in the in the offensive zone fantastic job fellas uh I think this also comes after one of the dumbest four on four penalties I think I’ve ever
Seen where both teams take a too many men on the ice penalty I don’t know how this happened and I’m pretty sure I’m going to need Jack Edwards to explain it to me again but yeah both Colorado and Boston take a takeing too many men on the ice
Penalty making it a four on four neither I don’t think either team scored there’s there’s maybe they do I forget I was exhausted and admittedly a little bit pissed off uh we will not be getting into that anybody who anybody who follows me on Twitter into the itd
Bruins uh anybody who follows me on Twitter probably probably understands the it’s like the fundamentals of it but it’s still well well we end up with the puck in the offensive zone Puck almost squirts out Carlo thank God he this was before he he got hurt uh uh he keeps the puck in
And he keeps the puck in and and he set he gets a bit to the center he fires it on on and to where Danton Heinen gets the it gets the puck circles it back around puts it on gorv and there’s there’s nobody on the far
Post on defense but there is a certain Johnny Beach and he chips it in for his for another goal on his admittedly pretty good rookie season I I I’ve been rooting for beeer I’ve been rooting for him since day one and I’m so happy that he’s he’s
Thriving right now this this also served as a really good welcome back to the it’s also served as a really good welcome back to the to the lineup game uh because for some reason we decided to bench him for a few games I guess because Marco was up but still marav
Being up should not mean that should not mean that beer gets benched it should probably mean that b of us gets benched but I don’t know I don’t I don’t line change for a living at about with about two minutes left in the G in the period of uh swan
Makes an amazing save on a on a k car shot and it goes out of the and it goes up and out of the uh up and out of the of the uh the she device so reenters for a for a face off and pretty quickly off that face off
S all this one in from pretty much the blue line on uh on who is it molinsky I think it’s molinsky some some no-name defenseman in in I’m sorry sorry for saying no name but like I legitimately had never heard of melinsky before in my in my
Life but uh but yeah melinsky ends up just ripping it and and everybody and everybody that’s supposed to make sure that that doesn’t happen either underc commits or overc commits there is nobody that is like right in the lane that could potentially that could potentially save that it is
Just molinsky and and Swan there and uh somehow molinsky does not and somehow melinsky wins we’re into the third period and uh Charlie Coy says hey remember that one time hey remember that goal McKinnon McKinnon SAU to uh remember that goal that McKinnon sa to
To uh to ranin in earlier this game yeah I kind of want to do that but with but starting below the below the net so he takes so he takes the puck and circles about to uh to one of the face off dots it’s he fire he shoots it across the The
Ice to is to is to uh to Marsh and and who just sitting there on the back post to let tap it in always make sure you have someone on that back post and that ties the game of three for the Bruins now aside from now it now on paper it
Seems like the Bruins are keeping Pace with the Avalanche they are not they are not they they the Avalanche are having a few lapses in defense but overwhelmingly their offense is just choking us in our own Zone we can’t get any sort of momentum we can’t
Uh we can’t really get the puck in our own Zone which has been a really frustrating Trend and and we just suck we suck look like it is it’s kind of a miracle that we ended up winning tonight not winning it’s kind of a miracle we walked out with a with any
Points which you know what let’s yeah let’s take it overtime now or rather let’s take it to the shootout because overtime was was your standard overtime and both teams looked a little bit gassed Boston a little bit more so oh but Swan Keeps Us in and this is
Where we have to talk about him everybody David poock what kind of an effort was that really what are you doing my guy what is your major malfunction private you you go in with just all laxidasical just just taking the puck and then you just give the most halfhearted effort at
Shooting on G possible legitimately you had the game on your stick you had the game on your stick you could afford for you could have forced the Avalanche to to score on the next to score on the next one you could have forced the Avalanche to score your entire your
Entire purpose as the third man in the in the fa and the shootout rotation is to is to be able to to put the opposing team in uncomfortable situation in which they need to need to score on their next in which they would probably need to score on their
Next shot in order to put the game away and that and to just reward that with one of the most with one of the most pathetic attempts of a shootout I’d ever seen is horrible it’s horrible this at least when marshand uh in in that in 2019 at least when he
Messed up on the shootout well it was completely unintentional he didn’t mean to accidentally scrape the the top of the puck like so that it would technically count as him advancing the puck thus losing him an entire thus losing us an entire round in the shootout uh uh it’s not
That because at least marshan didn’t even get a chance to try you on the other hand you had you were the chosen one and then Valerie nushin come comes in and puts in the amount of effort that I would have expected uh that I would have expected pasta put and
That kills the game for us uh we have the coyotes playing playing later today uh I think at about 9: uh I will check give me one sec uh Bruins coyotes at 9:00 okay so assuming that I managed to stay up for it this time uh
Video will be out right at that uh video will be out with within like two hours of the end of the game um and uh I will be and I will see you guys then I will see you guys after after the Coyotes game take care and go bees
