LQR Game 48: Nice and Fair :Bruins @ Senators

It’s just tough man I know this year was supposed to be different I don’t know better we were supposed to be better A lot of us were but man it’s almost February and I mean once again we’re looking up at the usual guys and me dude it’s just not fair you’re right

It’s not fair but life’s not fair I know I know maybe you lose so much cuz you don’t listen what nothing what I was saying is life isn’t fair but life isn’t about being fair it’s about doing what you can and it’s difficult and it’s

Tedious but you get to take pride in the fact that you do what you can and when you reach that point where it seems there’s no no moving up no moving on you’ve reached an inevitable end in that moment you decide to Simply do what you can and before long you’re looking back

Going oh that wasn’t the end it was just another step so what can you do right now what can you do I can practice hard well yeah you could do that but I mean what else could you do I could get a jump on the trade deadline and the draft you should have

Started it’s fine I don’t know if you’re really getting what I’m saying what can you do right now I can win hockey games yeah thank you H you’re welcome what were you trying to get him to say move out of Ottawa that city is fing cursed lowquality

Fans of high quality ruins team that is a dub but here’s the thing this game reminded me of some memories it brought back memories memories that I would have preferred to remain dormant you see in the distant year 2017 I likes to drink I still do but I like to drink back then

Too and I watched every single game of round one between the Bruins and the senators in the Stanley Cup playoffs and every single game was just like that I’m not going to go back and look it up it’s just what I believe because every single game it

Felt like no matter what they did that’s fine no matter what we did box holy crap that was an aggravating one and before we even get I this isn’t going to be a whole ref conversation but I’m not upset about the six calls the six penalty kills or nine calls total

Whatever it is not upset about the penalties we took was there embellishment were they weak calls yeah there’s all sorts of complaints there what I’m upset about is the blatant ignorance negligence whatever you want to call it they could do no wrong the cross checks the slashing the tripping did not

Matter didn’t get called if it was a Senators player it was driving me insane this wasn’t even it’s not even like game management I’m not worried the whole hey we got to even up the calls a little bit or else the league is going to investigate this game was a concern with

That just call it both ways why is that always the conversation like there was a period and a half against the canes where we had way better side of the refs and you sit there and you go call ways even at the game when it’s us at the advantage when

It’s they’re at the advantage call it both ways why is that so difficult it’s a fast sport I understand things get missed no ref is perfect but damn just call it both ways hey that looks like the identical play that I just called nah not this time The Vibes are

Off I don’t get it I don’t get it this is our first God those memories it really brought back a flood of negative drunken emotions that’s what it did that’s what it did I was playing poker too do you don’t know the amount of money I lost off that

Damn damn let’s talk about this s team first meeting of the Year feels like this it’s late in the year to have so many teams that we’re meeting for the first time of the year but either way we are let’s talk about the sense team like comment subscribe nailed it the Discord

Absolutely popping off it’s so fun check it out Twitter’s fun Instagram’s fun become a high quality inspector that’s what we’re calling them like that’s what we’re doing that’s the membership program below I that’s kind of coded let’s talk about the sense team this team sucks team sucks I know they’ve

Been playing better lately they still have a losing record over the last 10 and all of their wins came against basically Bottom Feeders they win here or there they’re a bad team they’re a bad team they had so many expectations going into this year and injuries have

Certainly played a role with them they truly have but they are 30th in goals allowed per game you need a lot of injuries for me to go it’s just the injuries the 24th on the power power play 29th on the penalty kill and the thing we all were banking

On for them to be better they’re ninth in offense goals scored per game they’re good at that they’re good at putting Pucks in the net but I’m wondering can you even blame can you even blame the front office for the Senator’s current condition because the second half of

Last year they had the 12th best offense in the league with how young their forwards were you would be forgiven for expecting that to continue to trend up they were also through that second half the 20th worst defense in the league they went out Midway through the season

Grabbed Chan they had a couple other younger guys back there and they went heyy although Chan definitely helped out offensively it was clear he needed more time to adapt into the defensive structure but still you look around you look at the guys they had there and you

Just went you know what that should improve it will won’t be a top 10 defense next year but it should improve the goal tending that was the concern right that was a big concern coming into this because forsberg was actually having a great season last year great

Is he had moments let’s call it moments because his stats weren’t all that great but he was solid he had a 902 through 28 games but he had some real nice moments and then he went down with a horrible injury during a game against the Oilers where he tore both his mcl’s and

Everyone went I don’t even know if this guy’s going to look like a decent go tender again so what did they do in the off season they tried to fix their problem and they went out and they overpaid for Corpus solo they overpaid we knew they overpaid the years they I

Think four more years at 4.1 million for him and they go into this season and the offense is there it’s done its job right they didn’t change a ton they made some moves Doc and and kubalik and they made some moves but they expected it to be good and it’s still good

Defensively they are terrible they rank bottom 10 in the league in your shot suppression in your expected goals against in your scoring chances allowed that they’re not good defensively they don’t snuff out offensive chances and injuries have played a role Shabbat obviously has missed a bunch of games

Sanderson and Zu looked really good and really great in pockets of the season but really it comes down to Chan who is not doing well and branstrom who has not taken a step forward that they expected at really any point look that’s not great but you signs this big goal tender

In the off season let’s see what he can do with it well what he can do with it is give you the worst goal tending in the league not individually but between him and forsburg who’s returned for some games an 889 save percentage identical save percentages for both of them they as a

Team are tied with the canes thanks to Spencer Martin’s performance last night the canes were 32nd now they are tied for last in the league for worst team goal tending save percentage words it’s bad it’s really bad and Corpus solo bad numbers again tonight so let’s go back

To my question can you blame in the front office I just depends on how you want to read the cards I guess there was reason to believe in the offense and that panned out there was reason to believe in the defense that didn’t pan out at all and then you went out and

Signed a gender who had a career year with the Blue Jackets and kings and he couldn’t maintain it that felt predictable and I think a lot of people did I don’t know if I was one of those people I don’t think I was predicted the Corp Sol would be terrible this year but

Hey it is what it is screw them let’s talk about this Bruins team shall we new lines Martian coil poog jvr zaka debrusk Bist geeki Frederick Heinen ptra steam ptra comes back into the lineup lco gets pushed out gism lindom Carlo former wat spoon San lco was bumped I thought when

I initially saw it I was like oh yeah Monty alluded to somebody getting banged up it doesn’t appear that he was referring to lco it appears he was referring to shaton Kirk who W spoon came in for I am surprised that Lao got bumped out I thought he’d been playing

His the best hockey of his season which you know the bar was kind of low for him but yeah surprised to see him moved I think they’re just going to keep trying to cycle guys keep him fresh for the most part but let’s talk about this game shall we puck

Drops 621 in Ottawa is out shooting us 7 to one we slow start again and suddenly for more and cellic just go at it and get into a wrestling match so we’re going to play a little 4v4 and nothing happens and 924 left pasta goes to the

Box for tripping it’s a call it’s a call we’re going to the Penalty kill it’s a great kill but we got to do it again because 708 left Coy is going to go for tripping it’s like directly after we killed that penalty we’re going for tripping again this was a correct call

People were upset but coil’s stick was jammed into the stut skates so I I don’t know what we’re arguing with on that one either way we’re going back to the Penalty kill it’s another great kill they’ve had zero shots on net through two kills excellent and with 127 left

Bernard Docker for holding I don’t know how I’m supposed to I I didn’t hear his name once other than that moment that whole game we’re going to the power play and immediately it works out we win the face off puckets moved back to makoy on the right side of that right Circle he

Flings it over to Pasta who one times the Jesus out of this p past Corpus solo and it is 1 Z on the power play and let’s be clear Ottawa more or less we were on the penalty kill a bunch this period but they were they were the more offensive team in this

Period it was a soul sucking goal to allow that power play goal for us after they’d been the better team through 20 minutes either way we’re going to take a one goal lead into the second and the second’s going to be way better for the Bruins at least initially to start

Because the first 5 and 1 half minutes we’re all over them and then 605 in we’re dominating but pasta is going to go for hooking we’re going to go to the Penalty kill we kill all of our momentum with it and it’s another huge kill and shortly after a puck gets behind San

Scary moment weird bounce it doesn’t go in the net we’re going to force the play back up into the neutral zone and zaka in the neutral zone Slams on the brakes sees Freddy with speed whips it across the blue line to him going over that middle of the blue line into the

Offensive zone and Freddy is going to snip aone and jeez it’s bar dski High blocker unbelievable shot from him he is on fire right now and it’s two Z it’s two Z you have to feel amazing being up two goals on this senator’s team where you feel like even though you’re getting

Outshot you’re going to get another or a couple more it just doesn’t look like they’re good at stopping the puck 948 left Martian for holding kills our momentum we’re going to go to the Penalty kill once again and then 30 seconds left of the penalty kill Coyle

And Heinen get a two-on-one it’s the best chance of the power play in general and coil has lays a perfect pass to Heinen and Heinen collects it looks like he could have shot right away he doesn’t he tries to set up shoots low on corpolo low blocker corpolo makes a save it’s

Going to stay two Z and with 151 one left Frederick is going to go for tripping this was this was a call this is a call 27.5 seconds left of the period the sends are set up in our Zone it’s great Puck movement and eventually the puck gets down to bson

Who’s standing to the right of San and he’s going to go behind the back no look pass across the slot to shabbat who is a wide open net buries it as soon as he buries that water spoon gets in basically everyone’s face there’s a huge scrum I didn’t know what was going to

Come from this but really no penalties or no man advantages were handed out so we’re going to move on to the third still up a goal and with 642 left of this period in which we’ve mostly shelled we turtled up I don’t maybe it was just second half of a back to back

Or what I don’t understand it but we we Turtle a little bit here it’s a weird one the S try to feed it into the slot it gets deflected bounces up in the air gets knocked down and Norris accepts that puck knocked down and buries it past San who looked like he had

Everything covered on the short side somehow squeaks through it’s 22 but they’re going to review the play and this is how bad the refs are at their job it got knocked down by a glove so I assume that’s why they waved it because I didn’t see them go to the camera they

Just talked about it and came out and said no goal with zero explanation in an opposing Barn where the home crowd even though there was a huge cheer at the no goal we’re not going to get into that you’d think the home crowd would like to

Know why isn’t it a goal the refs are bad at their job and there’s nothing that convince me nothing that can convince me they’re not they’re genuinely bad at it 439 left water spoon for cross checkin this was a call this was a call little over a minute into

This one and you just you knew it right you knew they were going to score on this one they there’s too many power plays too too many opportunities and it’s a Faceoff way by the SS they get the puck over to the left side with teraso who’s going down

Into that left Circle and he’s going to hammer this one right past San and it’s 22 top Locker too it’s it’s short side top blocker it’s a great shot 22 power play goal for them we’re going to overtime because of course why the hell not the overtime is back and forth as

Usual but about 2 minutes in just under two minutes in it’s the Senators that get the best chance they’re coming in on the net sta goes right around marshand gets right in on San San has to kick the shot out great save it goes right to kachuck it bounces over his stick which

Allows a two-on-one the other way coil’s going to feed Marian before they even get out of the neutral zone Marian’s going to go down into that left Circle and bury this low glove it’s 32 overtime winner Marian I believe is top five now you know we can talk about some Game

Notes here’s the problem I have with The Game notes all of my game notes are basically things I’ve recently said now I just talked about the referees earlier in this video Frederick’s been awesome W spoon should be in the lineup coil’s been quietly great there’s no like new

Game notes it’s just more of the same so this i’ just be ranting about the same stuff that I’ve already told you flyers on Saturday and then it’s a long break and we got to start talking about trade deadline hell yeah go bees go be once again guys thank you so much for

  1. The Sens are a dumpster fire lmaooooo even when they have it handed to them on a platter they still blow it.

  2. 10:26 in the 3rd period pasta & Tkachuck are behind Ottawaā€™s net with the ref directly in line of sight, when pasta falls down with Tkachuckā€™s stick between pastaā€™s legs and there no tripping called. The same exact thing that Coyle was called for. Unbelievable!!!

  3. I wasnt expecting anything really from this game. A point maybe. But when they went up 2-0, and the refs, and Stutzle's punchable fuckin mug… i needed to see the 2 points. Reminded me of that Calgary game last year where they gave nothing and somehow got 2 points. Cheers!

  4. Hate to say it. However. Iā€™m gone for around a yearā€¦probably longer.

    Good news is. I get to chase my dreams.

    This game was a ā€˜funā€™ one. Bruins being called like the good olā€™ days over brushing up against a player who decides to fall on their bum. Bruins PK was impeccable, until it wasnā€™t. Coincidentally my father got home just in time for the first goal to be scored for the Sens.

    Only sharing the following because this is a relatively small community and. Iā€™m loving the content. Iā€™m joining the forces. Heading to a military school in the next month. So. I wonā€™t be able to watch the Bruins as much as I have been up to this point. Last game I get to watch will be on the 19th or 20th.

    GO Bā€™S!!! May I leave my Home city, with the Bā€™s on a Winning streak!

  5. This was a extremely frustrating game to watch. The amount of inconsistent calling from the refs tonight really ruined whatever joy you could have from this game, at least for me.

    The problem with trying to give reviews tonight is that for like 70% of the game we were either in our own zone or on the penalty kill so it is really hard to tell how well everyone played tonight.

    Forward notes

    Marchand – Coyle – Pastrnak: B+
    This line has been a godsend for the past couple weeks, even if they weren't been able to show that off fully tonight. Not only has Marchand and Pastrnak finally found that old perfection line chemistry again, Coyle has perfectly slotted into Bergys old role there and I cannot be happier about his performance this year.

    JVR – Zacha – Debrusk: B
    I have some gripes with this line when it comes to offensive consistency but I can't say I haven't been impressed by it. Tonight it's hard to tell but for the past couple weeks this line has been solid enough, especially with Debrusks production as of late. Not the happiest with JVRs and Zachas offensive production compared to the others in the top 6 but give them enough time and they should be able to pick it back up again.

    Boqvist – Geekie – Frederic: A+
    This line has been just as dominant as the first line for the B's. Geekie and Frederic have found some amazing chemistry together, and with Boqvist showing his really solid bottom 6 potential with the B's, I think this line will be solidified for a long time to come, although I wouldn't mind seeing Freddy move up to the 2nd line for a few games.

    Heinen – Poitras – Steen: C+
    My main complaint with this line is Poitras. He isn't a grinder and doesn't fit the 4th line role at all. Usually you'd just send someone like this down to Providence for a bit but the B's can't do that sadly, so Potsy is kinda stuck in a limbo spot on this team. Best idea I have is to have him sent down for a conditioning stint in Providence after sitting him for some games so he can get some AHL experience before coming back up to the NHL.

    Grzelcyk – McAvoy: B
    This line has been tested a lot. Grzelcyk continues to have a lot of struggles, and it doesn't help that he decides whether or not those struggles will actually be there from game to game. McAvoy really holds down that line though and can usually cover for any of Gryz's shortcomings at least.

    Lindholm – Carlo: B-
    This line has been surprisingly getting caved in a lot recently. I wouldn't blame it on Carlo and moreso on Lindholm for being so flatfooted and caught off guard all the time. I really do not know what's happened to Lindholm this season, especially now with his defensive play starting to have some struggles alongside his already poor offensive showcase this year.

    Forbort – Wotherspoon: B+
    I won't lie, Forbort definitely has not been the same since his injury return, just like Grzelcyk. He has his bright moments but it is surrounded by a lot of questionable decisions. I'm unsure if he'll return to his November form. Wotherspoon continues to be a major bright spot on a defense with so many struggles since the Christmas break. Wouldn't mind him replacing Forbort or Grzelcyk for a game or two so they can get some rest.

    Swayman: A+
    This stud is the only reason the B's won this game tonight. He has really taken over that A1 role from Ullmark, and I wouldn't be surprised the closer we get to the playoffs the more starts he'd get to keep him in game shape for the the first round.

    All in all a weak Bruins game that was marred with bad officiating. This was a back to back game, traveling over borders, so we'll see how the team responds on Saturday. Go B's? GO B'SSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

  6. You had to remind me about that Sens/Bruins playoff series. Karlson played out of his mind and the refs had no mind. Bruins looked dog tired youā€™d think he would maybe give more minutes to the lower lines. Also, Poitras started out the season promising but heā€™s progressively getting worst with less playing time. Great job coach.

  7. Marchand has been on a role recently. Not that he's been bad this season but ever since the new year he seems to have really found his groove in the Captain role.

  8. Great game by the Bā€™s. Maybe it was just good puck luck but weā€™ve proven that we have the capability of winning games even with dogshit refereeing

  9. How many of the on ice officials last night are from Ontario? I've never seen such lopsided officiating in an NHL game.
