LQR Game 50: Getting what we’re giving :Flames @ Bruins
Hey what not a bad game for the new Squad yeah maybe yeah do you think we might be better without lindol wait what like do you think if lindol was in the lineup that we still would have won that game I don’t know would the lineup with lindome in it be better
Than the 2010 Bulgarian Women’s National Team I don’t that team played Four qualifying games that year and they were outscored by a toal of 192 to1 across 240 minutes of hockey wait how is that relevant well because that proud Bulgarian women’s team would have beaten the Boston Bruins tonight so
We aren’t you are not better without lindol no how do you know so much about the women’s Bulgarian national team you know Olga gosp Olga gosp you know Olga Goga goova you know Olga gosp NOA would be ashamed of you who is she scored their one goal okay God all right all
Right lowquality fans of a high quality Bruins team that is not not right that’s what you would call I think the scientific term is a stinker that’s a stinker but I have good news for you after all of that pain I’ve got good news if you’re looking for more content
Couple of things happening first of all the trade deadline video is coming out tomorrow I’m at work all day but I think I have it scheduled for like a noon release or something like that it’s an hour long where we talk about a whole bunch of people so if you’re interested
In checking that out it’s going to be going up tomorrow also the puck off Squad uh the puck off podcast had me on recently to talk about season grades so so far for teams across the league and just basically a league checkin uh so I sat down with Chris one of their hosts
To do that you can find that over on their Channel which I link below so that’s good right that’s what you came here for nothing about the Bruins why would we talk about them tonight God what a game can you call it a game this is
Just going to get sadder the longer it goes too dude this was a weird seg women in sports we were celebrating women in sports tonight which is awesome uh wish we could have wish we could have had a better night for them but it is a great thing and we got the
Highlight there was the broadcast highlighted a bunch of different women sports which is great um personally I know that there’s a few women that I I read frequently for their work in journalism uh Sarah Civ I’m a big fan of uh Shaina Goldman at the athletic is really good um
Yeah there’s there’s a whole bunch Gail over at nessen I want to say they blur together with the different companies but there’s some great great women in sports out there who do all sorts of great work but now let’s talk about like comment subscribe nailed it let’s talk about
Some crappy stuff the Calgary Flames just ran us over let’s be honest they just ran us over physically they ran us over mentally they ran us over and score-wise they just trucked us they had four people debuting for their team today this sucks cuz menco they got in
The Vancouver deal uh for Elias lindol one of many pieces Pall pel P Pall uh he comes over from Vegas on a waiver uh pickup Peltier and Rooney will be making their debut they were in the AHL this year one of them is like 30 so they’re
Not both prospects but the other one’s a prospect the team is selling pieces Calgary is selling pieces the players don’t care right that doesn’t affect their drive or their energy these are guys playing for their future in the league on this team whether or maybe not
On this team they had I think there was 15 Scouts across the league there in this game so a lot of a lot of people checking in on what Calgary has to offer against the top team uh they didn’t see the top team play like one though
So yeah that being said they’re mid as hell that team is mid I might be too old to be nowhere mid there’s 17th in goals scored per game 17th in goals allowed per game a bottom five power play and just for fun a top three penalty kill they have a bottom five power
Play our penalty kill if you ranked it from like I I’ll actually get this number hold on sorry sometimes I think of points I want to make during the actual video our penalty kill ranks 20th in the league since the Christmas break it’s bad I’m so sick of people
Being like we have a top 10 penalty kill no we don’t no we don’t no we don’t it’s been two months a month and a half of us having a really bad penalty kill markstrom has made a surprising bounceback I think he’s very overrated but he has a 912 save percentage on the
Season in a year where goal tending across the board is down he also has a 94 9 save percentage through his last four Road games not including this one you cannot give him really any credit for this win you can kep the pucks out of the net good for him but I don’t
Think he really had to make that many challenging saves I bet our expected goals for this one was super low as well this is our first time meeting the the Flames this season on our end we sit currently top five in goals four per game before this game started uh top
Five in goals allowed per game top five on the power play and the penalty kill as I just mentioned it’s continues to drop now it ranks eighth but like I mentioned 20th in the league since the Christmas break our lines Marian coil De brasque jvr zaka Pasta lco geeki
Frederick Heinen bisin grizzli McAvoy linto Carlo forbort shaton Kirk Swan I don’t have anyone to compliment I don’t yeah I don’t have anyone to compliment Patra you’ll notice isn’t in the lineup he had another doctor’s visit this morning not to put this into the universe but multiple doctor’s visits for an
Issue are we going to get a surgery announcement soon it feels like that’s where we’re trending it feels like we’re at second opinion status here not great de brusk and forbort make their return they did miss a game before the break let’s talk about this one it’s just a Red Bull nothing
Fun P drops and you know right away you know right away you know right away in the first couple of minutes your first symbol of it all because there are those of you that don’t like Carlo I disagree with you but you have the right to make
That decision for yourself Carlo in my opinion is one of the best defensive defenseman in the league his numbers mostly back that up as well especially the advanced analytics love the guy through the first couple of minutes of this one uh through the first 3 minutes
And 48 seconds he had two turnovers that led directly to scoring chances he uh had a penalty at 348 in he also fumbled the puck when there’s just no reason to Fumble it soft pass to him when he had Maran sitting in the left Circle wide
Open just waiting for him to pass like their eyes connected they were fumbles it it goes back the other way not a great start for Carlo right the thing is when you have a player looking that bad and everyone else looked bad through the first couple
Of minutes but as that was just bumbling fumbling through all of that you just got this immediate feeling of like man I don’t love being like rust but these guys just don’t look right and during the penalty kill Coyle is going to collect a gift of a pass from the Flames
For a contested Breakaway and it’s safe by markstrom and it’s going to go back the other way it’s a 4 and three kzco hides as the trailer kind of the right side of the slot perfect pass to him from Huber duero and he’s going to bury
This low glove on San a save that sure sometimes that save doesn’t get made but you kind of go all right no one’s having a hot start here no one’s having a hot start it’s one zero power play goal for them that’s fine let’s just get into it
We can get into it it’s fine seven minutes left of the period of one of the most nauseating periods you could possibly watch where you can’t connect on a single pass I me it just it really reminded me of earlier this season during the the like three wins in a
Month we had there in December or whatever the hell it was where just every game no one can connect on a pass to save their life that was a whole period seven minutes left an offensive possession collapses as all three forwards get into the same 3×3 space
Right the puck was loose it was just a miscommunication it wasn’t one guy skated into two others no one guy was pursuing the puck and then the other two also like I can help it was dumb they turned the puck over and of course it’s numbers the other way CU you had three
Forwards all doing something together and it’s a three and two and cadri down the middle holds holds holds until they finally collapse a little bit the defense finally collapses up a little bit perfect pass over to Zari who’s going to go right in on Swan from the left side
Swan’s going to come out and attack and he’s just going to drift the puck around and dunk it Far Side on him it is two Z with seven minutes left of the first period that game’s not over at all absolutely not I don’t think highly of markstrom this Flames team isn’t very
Good we’re a better team two lead with 43 47 minutes left we can do this and with four minutes left there’s a scramble after a markstrom save and posle posp posle I don’t know why they have guys with names that I can’t pronounce that’s not my fault either way he comes through and
Takes Martian’s head and puts the butt of his stick right through it now this was handled correctly and I want to make a point about this because this guy comes through and hits marshan because marand is trying to get the puck out of markstrom’s glove they called Mar Maran
For slashing here which was surprising to me but either way they give Posas a five minute major and a game misconduct after reviewing the play and it was the right call because this was clearly with intent and it was directly to the Head the reason I was glad that the
Bruins didn’t have a physical response after that meaning didn’t fight somebody or throw cheap shots or anything like that is because the refs managed it correctly that was a dirty play you’re out of here there is no reason that they needed to make an extra point of
Anything here win the game you’re down by two goals so it goes four and four at first for the first two minutes and then it’s going to be a 3 minute power play one minute is going to be in the second period and we don’t do anything with
That time on the power play in the first and we don’t do anything with the minute on the power play to start the second in fact we don’t even get a shot on net the second period has one note and 5 minutes in it’s because Freddy was
Moving moved up to the top line deus’s moved to Zak’s left with poster knock and then jvr goes down to the third just shake things up a little bit that’s it for the second period it was more of the same where no one could connect on a
Pass and you wanted to die inside and the third period starts we’ve seen this song and dance before recently Carolina Hurricanes game we were down two goals we fought our way back early uh in the third period and we look poised to do it again one minute in Grizz with a great
Back check and then a clever feed to makoy as they go back through the neutral zone to allow for a makoy basically breakway and he goes posting out it’s not your night you know it’s not your night but hey close 248 in pall’s going to go for
Hooking we’re going to go on the power play and then 51 seconds into that Marian gets high stick by weager Blood so it’s five on three for 109 and then after it’s reviewed this is all confirmed a double minor so so we’re still going to get two more minutes on
The power play this is a massive chance and the Bruins start it correctly about 40 seconds into it it’s a five on three as I mentioned pasta’s got the puck on the top of the slot he’s going to feed this over to zaka right Circle absolute Hammer shot goes off hanahan’s stick top
Corner 2-1 power play goal hannifin’s already scoring goals for the Bruins you love to see it you love to see it there’s still three and a half minutes left on the power play three and a half you can like you can tie the game right here you could tie the game and still
Have a power play remaining three and a half minutes so the Bruins in their Infinite Wisdom with a minute 46 left 46 o with a minute 46 left on the power play uh they are going to have too many men on the ice blatantly so it goes 44 for 146 and then
We’ll have a quick penalty kill and the Bruins get exactly what they deserve cuz during this 4 and four geeki and makoy lose an awkward battle along the wall where makoy basically get stripped by hubero but he didn’t really have the puck that long kind of a difficult play
But either way hubero shouldn’t have inside ice there anyway hubo gets to walk in on San and goes absolute top glove Corner sniper Ro and cheese good for him go [ __ ] yourself it is 3-1 in the most painful fashion and it’s exactly what they deserve I can’t defend
Anyone here you had another minute and 46 seconds on the power play Too Many Men you’re down by a goal what in the world are you doing what are you doing and Monty wants to scream and shout about discipline Monty those are your line changes dude like I know I know on
The bench he’s not like go now go now go but how many Too Many Men calls have we had this year too many I’ll tell you that much just just undisciplined undisciplined and messy with 1035 left coil’s going to go for slashing this was a good call in
Fact I thought the uh the refs missed a couple calls I think Coyle not Coy Carlo put an elbow right through I’m going to forget the poor guy’s name but he left the game uh I didn’t get to see a replay on it it looked like that was a bad
Elbow that should have been called but maybe I’m wrong maybe the replay shows differently either way 1035 left coil for slashing and 18 seconds into the penalty kill this is a nothing play I’m not even mad at forbo does forbo get walked absolutely but forbo’s always going to get walked what are we
Expecting at this point Hanahan skates down the right side of the ice and he gets behind forbort a little bit but it’s a sharp angle and forbo’s giving up a shot that should get saved a 100 times out of a 100 it’s just a backhander Loosely unsan it squeaks through it’s
4-1 you can’t blame forbo for that one it’s power play goal for them the penalty kill continues to suck just continues to absolutely suck 950 something something left makoy goes for ruffy we go to the Penalty kill we kill it there we go penalty kill right when
The game’s over 3:30 left Loo’s going to go for roughing pahal is going to go for unsportsman like uh those going to offset makoy is night is over he goes for a misconduct and it stays five on five after all that and the game ends Game
Notes what in the world am I supposed to learn from this one what do you mean Game notes what what am I taking from this game so it was a night we didn’t have we sucked we sucked this was a night we didn’t have it no one is going
To tell you anything else we weren’t there was no discipline there was no mental game there was just bad it was just a bad hockey game and that happens sometimes the only thing I will say I don’t I have mixed feelings about this the booing the Bruins fans who are
Booing the team during this game oh there’s a piece of me that goes like that’s your right as a fan it is your right as a fan it’s your right you spent a lot of money to go watch them and they laid a complete egg bad games happen though they do this
Was a bad game and uh your team is like second in the league I just feel like booing is a little cheesy in that in that context not a big fan of the booing tonight not a big fan of that hey each their own all right guys it does it for me like

I miss lucic Hathaway and greer tired of the 5’9 bitches on this team
Carlo, one of the best defenseman in the league? What league? 🤔
They were lazy bums tonight! The drive and the want is not there w this team . Thats all im saying. I dont see us getting out of first round. Home ice means nothimg to these spoiled players
Gotta grind out these years of perpetually getting our hopes up, then either choke or peter out in the playoffs. Almost time to tank!
Bruins got tuned up by Calgary, another words they got burned. Probably good for the Bs to get woken up these guys got Six more home games on this stretch. Very sloppy transition and couldn’t hold on to the puck. Suck it up boys.
We stank.
Worst game of the season.
Credit to the Flames tho.
Tonight was not a high quality night for the Bruins. Definitely not what you wanted to see after a week and a half break from hockey. I don't even wanna try to give out line and player ratings tonight because dear God would it all be D's and F's for everyone besides Swayman.
What I will do though is go over what I believe the B's need to be true cup contenders.
1. A second line center. Listen I love Zacha but it's clear he is not meant to be a second line center, which is fine since he can still play second line minutes on the wing.
Some possible pickups for a decent second line center would be
Adam Henrique: He is a good veteran mid 6 presence who still has a good goal scoring touch and a lot of playoff experience. Not only would help with depth scoring and some more vet leadership, he could really help players like Poitras, Lauko, Beecher and others who are still young and didn't get to experience Bergeron's on ice expertise. The 2 major sticking points would be that he is a UFA and that his cap hit is nearly 6M dollars for this season.
Alex Kerfoot: Whilst he doesn't have the same goal scoring touch or veteran knowledge as Henrique, Kerfoot would still be a good mid 6 option as well. Pasta would have another person to rely on for smart passes and would be another 2 way player that could help fix any mistakes the more skilled players could make. His cap hit is 3.5 per year on a 2 year contract so he is also cheaper than Henrique and would be locked in till 2025.
Dylan Strome: He is a youngish (26Y) mid 6 center with 19G, 14A in 48 games on 5×5 contract. Would be a great long term option for a mid 6 center. The biggest here being he'd probably be one of the more costly players to get and he has nearly 0 playoff experience so far in his career.
2. A top 6 winger. If they can't get a second line center then the next most important thing would be a certified top 6 winger. The B's only have 2 true top 6 wingers in Marchand and Pastrnak with Debrusk being a good top 9 winger for the most part with still flashes of a true top 6 potential.
Some possible winger pickups
Frank Vatrano: Mr. ducks all-star himself and a Springfield, Massachusetts native. We obviously all know his output this year and would be an amazing long term top 6 to top 9 winger pickup for the B's. Outside of a Hanafin/Tanev/Zegras trade this would probably be the most expensive trade the B's could make.
Vladimir Tarasenko: He is a proven top 6 winger who can score 20-30 goals a year. Would be an amazing replacement for Hall, but with how well he's played this year alongside his age and being a UFA this offseason, it'd be pricey and risky to pick him up.
3. Lastly something the B's will definitely need. A defenseman. With the B's playoff history of losing defenseman like it's a sale for Stanley cups at a Target, getting a mid to bottom 6 Dman would probably be smart. There's a lot of good options here so it'd take me too long to list them all.
Listen, were gonna boo when the team doesn't put in effort. It's not like a good team came in and got the better of them in a hard fought contest. They were at home and still looked like they didnt even want to be there, they looked like they weren't trying, and that shit is downright insulting, so you're god damn right we're going to boo them. Context is important, but it's all but lost on people these days.
Let me ask you this: Should we have said "Great job sport, I know you didnt try even though I paid money to come see you, but thats ok, flip me off again and spit in my face harder this time." instead? If thats your honest takeaway fron this game, I don't even know what Im doing here. All it takes to not get boo'd is some freaking effort and bare minimum competence. They looked like the washington generals of hockey.
Can we stop playing Forbort already? So sick of seeing him in the lineup
@11:10. The at-the-moment, on-ice response to the Captain getting fed the knob of a stick was soft. Look at the Bruins players after the whistle, none of them want to be involved in the scrum. That's a BIG part of playoff hockey. And then there was zero response when Lauko got driven into the boards in the 2nd (albeit a clean hit). Lauko gets popped, the play gets whistled stopped seconds later and not a single player engaged with the player (who just hit Lauko harder than he's probably ever been hit). There needs to be push-back. The Bruins have zero intimidation. No player is worried about bumps or bruises when playing the Bruins… that's not good. And I'm not calling for fights, fights, fights but there needs to be grit/sandpaper.
Was kinda hoping that, the last game my Bruins played while I am employed, would have been a W.
The announcers from SN were terrible, “oh it wasn’t that bad” my brother in Christ. Pop tart just fed Marchand the knob of his stick. You can see it clear as day. I don’t remember the offending players name, but I think he is forever ‘Pop Tart’ now.
The boo’ing at the end of the first. Felt extreme, but necessary. You know? Yeah 2nd best team in the league last I checked…but. Doesn’t mean you can let the team off easy for a disappointing start. Even against one of my favourite players of all time (Marc Savard). Had a little celebrity crush on him when I was younger. Loved watching him play for the B’s. Mortified when he got his career ending concussion. Devastated when his contract was traded away to save cap space. When I saw he was the Head Coach for Calgary, I felt happy to see him in the league again. I can respect the Flames. Iginla is my reason, but I’ll be damned if Savard isn’t a great follow up. Have Savard’s Jersey hanging in my room. It’s a little old, but it’s a prized possession of mine now. 91. Just need Boychuk, Samsonov, Gonchar, Thornton (22). I’m sure there are others I’d love to have. Just would need a refresher. 11 is also solid, Gregory Campbell. (Just did some digging as I swore he wasn’t the only Campbell to wear a Bruins Jersey…apparently a man named Wade Campbell played for the B’s back in the 80’s…long before my own time. How the…he also played for what was originally the Winnipeg Jets. How the…yes. My home town team, that became the Coyotes)
Lastly. Probably will be washing my Jersey’s come the 20th. As. Won’t be long after that, that I will be flying off for Military Training. Thus, won’t be watching every game as I use to.
GO B’S! Make me proud. Fill my empty heart before I leave town. At this moment. Just glad that the Knights ended the Oilers streak.
I have a very bad feeling this is gonna be the start of a long and excruciating slump.
Yeah felt like the bs wanted an extra day off…. Slow decisions, no touch at all, for any of them. Energy was getting there by end.
Little know story, 2011 Bulgaria womens team was disqualified as they tested positive for steriods and low grade … tranquilizers. Love the opening video!!!! Thank you for the abbreviated recap, lol.
It looked like they all had a great time in Cabo!!!! They all needed a red bull!
TBH. This game is ckose to what i exoected this season, so i will take this 1 of 82. Have faith!!!!
Schedule today: 1030am Capt meeting. 11am. Bag skate. 12pm Coach yell. 2pm video room review where coaches break down game for 4 hours saying What were you thinking? I dont want an answer!
Go Bs!!!!! Get right back at it!!
Hannafin looks awesome!!! Oh wait that was against Forbert…. still, he looked strong.
Gotta say Swayman had some great saves but he did not play like he should have. However, he was getting peppered the whole damn game, where was our defence?! They were non-existent this game!
Puck droooooops!
We beefed it.
One again. No poitras, no offense.
Lets see how far off we are vs Vancouver.
Puck droooops!, love it
Great skit. Bulgaria women’s national team. Haha. That is Not a Dub
If women sports were any good, the men wouldn't have to promote them. Also, the Bruins deserved to be boo'd off the ice. The effort was pathetic
Those fans that boo are usually Red Sox fans, total morons. I just call it the way I see it. GoBs!!!!
The B's played like they were still on break. However, it's one game, and they won't win every game. Thursday night should be different.
There are no good points to take out of that game, no one was good … Marchy takes a crosscheck to the face and they can’t even get a shot on goal!? Yeeeesh
Credit to Calgary tho, I’ve watched many of their games being in Canada, and I’ve never seen their forecheck that strong. Go Bs! 🐻
Red Bull is so so bad for you. Try Bang instead Sir.
After 10 days waiting..and yesterday was my birthday..I was hoping for a win. Aaahh maybe tomorrow 😊
New rule…no more Shatt/Gryz pairing!🤬
Hoping for a great Bs response, on Thursday…to apologize for this stinker…
Forty sex 😂
Calgary even tried their best to let us back into the game.
Please put wootherspoon back in lineup.
On top of everything else, they need a tough player out there. They got pushed around way too much by Calgary. McAvoy finally lost his cool at the end of the game and, there should be a player sticking up for them. Where is Freddy? Like I swear, he’s never on the ice for any incidents that goes on. They need a tough guy. Greer was really all we had and he’s gone and basically so is Lucic. Wish they kept Hathaway around but then again, he wanted a lot of money
This was the first game of the season that I didn't watch all the way through. Granted I was preparing for a gecko to arrive in the morning, but even so, it wasn't worth watching.
Fans mostly aren't booing the team or the players. They're booing the apparent lack of effort. When you consider the ticket cost and possible travel cost and time invested then they have paid for the right to boo poor effort.
The thought that kept returning to me over this break was would you rather go into the break having just gotten back into your stride, firing on all cylinders, or as a busted up mess? When a team deals with injuries (all teams), constant creativity with the line assignments (seemingly every night) and endures a bona fide slump, and then grinds and battles back to the point they are playing better than at any time in the season (and continue to defy expectations by being tied for first in the league) they will go into the break thinking they have accomplished something. And they take a deep, deep breath and let their collective guard down and sink into a peaceful slumber. And they won't be waking up again soon- this team recovers like a battleship executing a turn. The Canucks are in town tomorrow and they came out of the break looking as good as they did going in so don't expect a very different result there. The one thing the Bs have going for them now is that the battleship is executing its wide, wide turn in the open sea, if you will, with 32 games to go and a 5-point lead on the 2nd place team; they have time to recover the magic and get pointed in the right direction. He said, with the faintest flicker of hope buried deep in his X-er heart.
The booing sucked to hear, we have some of the loudest fans too grr, hated to see the B's be shit on by Calgary as well but fk it we can afford to lose two points or even the next 14 during this home stint we're still making the playoffs something the Flames wont be doing
