LQR Game 61: Geekin Out :Golden Knights @ Bruins

You got lucky and here we go I got a w is what I got you blew a three-goal lead and one in regulation big deal for you these days huh not after tonight I bet Swan didn’t look all that good well Swan looked good enough to win so you think

You guys have a chance with Monty jumbling the lines and having this team play on its heels every time you have a lead I think Monty just hit a 100 wins with the Bruins in less than 20 months on the job man you really aren’t going

To be bothered tonight huh buddy we won in regulation Morgan geeky had a hattick Lori scored the game winner swan made a game deciding save and were tied for first in the league what’s there to complain about de Brusque damn it would you just get out of here lowquality

Fans of a high quality Bruins team that is a dub a regulation dub the first one in 10 games we did it we fixed the Boston Bruins we did it that’s it this team’s Championship caliber it’s done no arguments this team is great and hey real quick eye to eye let’s talk

About it chess to chest I know there’s all sorts of negativity in there it’s all swirling about because of the way this game win and we’ll talk about stuff but but but Let It Go just get rid of that get rid of that and we’re going to

Talk about why but it’s gone that’s a regulation win let’s have some optimism let’s have some pride in this team and hey maybe you’re sitting there going well heyo qual what about last video where you said all this negative [ __ ] and what about all the negative [ __ ]

You’re about to say in this video and you know what I say to that shut up yeah bet you feel stupid now yeah this team is fixed it’s not fixed but God what a step in the right direction and honestly am I being honest here I am I

Am happy it happened this way and we’re going to get to that point we’re going to talk about it but there are reasons to almost prefer it be like this because there’s a couple things that happened I just I I I let’s just say two of them

Right now the big two one you won in regulation you closed out a game which included you killing a power play penalty what however you want to word it which includes you killing a penalty with less than four minutes left in the game and you closed out a one-goal lead

We needed to see that and throughout this whole game San’s getting torched by the fan base by a lot of them some of it’s fair some of it’s unfair all I kept seeing was hey how about make a save make the save the save that we’ve been

Asking swayan to make I’m not going to say we really because that hasn’t really been my my motto lately but a lot of people have brought up the swayman doesn’t make the save well guess what in this game he made what you would call the save that meant we were winning in

Regulation two things to genuinely be absolutely stoked by because if they can build off them oh this could be fun there’s negatives about this game we’re going to talk about those but don’t ruin don’t ruin a good result hockey’s supposed to be fun it’s entertainment the team’s in a playoff

Spot pretty easily the team is sort of winning more than they’re losing maybe not in the immediate sense but still and that was an entertaining ass hockey game where your team won feels pretty good feels pretty good to me feels pretty dang good this Vegas team Bruce is back

In town with a big fat ring on his finger good for him I I haror no hatred I want Vegas to fail forever that ship has kind of sailed considering they just won but I don’t really dislike Bruce at all I genuinely don’t even when they fired

Him I was like ah don’t super agree was my initial reaction and then I slowly worked myself around to I could see why you’re changing this and why I think it’s the right move and at this point I do believe it was still the right move I

Can see why you would argue that this is an opinion that is not worth arguing about again this is our second meeting of the year with Vegas we lost to them in overtime in January they are 4 five and one in their last 10 they are 14th

In goals four per game ninth in goals allowed per game their power play ranks 18th their PK ranks 11th and honestly I’m assuming that Knights fans don’t give a flying butt cheek about any of this right they don’t care not because they’re bad hockey fans but in their

Head that team should make the playoffs they certainly look like they’re going to and they just want to get healthy they’re going for back-to- back cups they’re going to pull some Shenanigans it looks like I’m not saying they’re faking the stone injury but stone is out for at least the regular

Season I think we all know that he’s going to be on track to play game one do with that what you will but but they are missing eel they’re missing Stone Kier they’re missing dorov they’re missing Brett Howen a couple of those guys are more important than others there’s some

Real talent missing from that roster which is even more of the reason I’m like don’t lose this game don’t lose this game yes we’re missing talent to feels like they’re missing just a little bit more just a little bit more win this game Aiden Hill on the road against us

He’s been so good on the road 929 through 10 through 10 games played on the road this year he has such few games played because he was injured for a good portion of the year he has an 81-1 record on the road and a 929 save percentage dude’s been everything I’ve

Said about Aiden Hill in the past like it’s basically mirrored what I’ve said about georgev I was like I just don’t think he’s that good of a goalie Aiden Hill has shoved that right in my face I think he’s a pretty damn good goalie good for him for us we come into this

Game having uh played six straight overtime games that you know three or more goals allowed in nine straight games now 10 but but who cares as long as you win obviously you care a little bit but right now let’s just take the win let’s just take the win Rashard has been sent

Back down to Providence uh if he I believe if he had played one more NHL game he would have had to go through waivers to do that the team needs to keep Talent they like what Rashard brings they are genuinely afraid of someone picking him up on waivers so

They sent him back down right now because there’s no necessity to keep him in the lineup and they’d like to use them if there are more injuries down the road and risk waivers or whatever they have to risk later on loo goes back in for him on a fourth line that dominated

Most of their shifts tonight for more is scratched again and lindol remains out forbort as far as I can tell is not being scratched this game due to disciplinary reasons like he was last game to me it looks pretty clearly uh Hey that third pair actually looked

Pretty good without you let’s see that for another game are we are we finally are we finally getting there our lines Maran Coy postero I really feel like they could have split that up more this game jvr zaka debras Danton Heinen geeky Frederick Loco boquist brazo and then Grizz Mack laori

Carlo W spoon chat and Kirk San in net this kind of game just makes you feel thankful thankful for the Boston Bruins thankful for those who like comment subscribe nailed it thankful to the highquality inspectors the YouTube membership program just ah absolute stallions and studs over there unbelievable so thankful so so thankful

Puck drops puck drops this game started exactly the way you needed to and then it and then it progressed into a way you didn’t didn’t need it to but it started exactly the way you needed it to in a frustrating way though because we’re 10

And a half minutes in and Vegas is just holding on the shot totals aren’t Gody they’re 9 to2 in favor of us but out of those nine shots there are at least two shots wide open from the slot well at least two that were saved there’s like two others that just missed

Wide which is always a bummer a pasta Breakaway and a what three or four chances within three or four feet of Aiden Hill we were all over them we were moving the pot quickly and you’ll notice that this team performs its best when they’re actually not stretching the ice

They’re really not it’s short short quick routes always two options always a scam being created that the other player is recognizing they’re slowing up or speeding up to be in the lane that they need to be in to be open and it’s short and quick and they work their way down

The ice it’s the Hail Mary passes that you’ll notice screw us up the most either way they’re playing so unbelievably well and Aden Hill is stopping everything and you’re getting that little that twinge inside of you where you go oh great are they going to

Just Aiden Hill is going to stand on his head for 14 shots and their fifth shot of the period is going to go in on San even if that happens you can’t even get that upset because the way the team had been playing over the past couple weeks

You just need this team to come out and give a [ __ ] do I think these players don’t give a [ __ ] absolutely not but you needed to see a full just we are going to plow over them right now right here and if you don’t get the bounces we’ll

Live with it but you have to have that kind of Killer Instinct and they came out with it and they got rewarded for it eventually with 526 left Vegas gets set up in our Zone and they’re moving the puck on the blue line when geeki ends up

Disturbing a shot it bounces its way to Frederick and Frederick his best curling impression softly sends this up the ice to the point where you go that’s never even going to make it but it does it gets in front of geeki and practically stalls geeky skates right into it and

Goes bar dski sniper and cheese top glove surprised Aiden Hill wasn’t more aggressive on this it’s one Z and Morgan [ __ ] geeky has the first goal of the game if if he could start finishing a little bit and if this game is any indication huge it’ be huge it would be

Huge and then 30 seconds later literally it’s a strong exit out of our Zone than us to jaten Kirk and thanks to a nice little dip pass by brazo and we’re going to take the offensive zone and we’re going to get set up and we’re going to

Move the puck over to shatty who followed behind he’s going to have the puck at the right point he’s going to launch this on net saves made lco Mr grapes is there to collect he looks like he’s run out of options so he’s going to

Go around the net but he kind of gets everyone’s eyes shifted that way then swings it back around just sends it right up into the slot think he was looking for brazo it goes past brzo but boquist is is right there and Aiden Hill has to go from covering that short side

With his head turned towards the back of the net to turning and seeing boist in the middle of the slot loading up and he has to somehow get across to make sure he covers as much net as possible guess what it wasn’t enough net he’s going to

Go blocker side and it is two Z Bist gets one two goals from your bottom six to start this one that’s not bad and then 306 left McAvoy breaks up a Vegas transition just a little little stick work little fencing work in there no one

Make a a gif of that please anyway he’s going to get the Pug BR anyway that play gets broken up heining collects he’s going to start the play going forward through the neutral zone he sees he’s got pasta on his right he feeds Pasta Pasta sees that he’s got geeky on his

Left side all uncovered just fling that puck across to him sure why not Aiden Hill can’t get there in time in from the left Circle geeky will unload a absolute sniper roon and cheese he gets two of them in one game and it’s perfect back bar top of the net Aiden

Hill had to get low to try to cover as much as possible goes right over him it is three Z you have three goals from bottom six players even though pasta was on the ice for that one three goals from bottom six players we have talked about

It so much don’t waste these efforts don’t waste efforts with a bottom six is scoring so well the top six the defense has to come up huge in those games not even huge in those games just be good enough just be good enough because the guys you don’t expect to score that much

Are lighting the lamp bro the lamp it’s 3-0 after one the shots are 16 to8 the second period starts and I know you’re frustrated it’s a minute 48 in the golden knights are pushing back we expected that we expected to be on our heels little bit right they’re pushing you’re going to

Have to weather a little bit of a storm they managed to get it in because they’re coming in transition and it’s Roy who’s goes over the line hits the braks the right point and just loves this one sort of back door to the bottom of the the opposite Circle and conter is

Just there to golf some low bat swing whatever you want to call it takes it right out of the air squeaks by San’s blocker not super mad at swimming because how do you even read this properly it’s a lucky goal that’s not a set play that’s not even a good play

It’s just a perfect lob and a Lucky Strike you I know there’s a PCU because there’s a piece of me that just wanted to go there the one thing you couldn’t allow the first five minutes of second period you had to get through without being scored on but you watch that play

And like who do I blame here who do I naturally blame here for this play like in a realistic fashion I’m struggling to find someone it’s two it’s 3-1 deal with it you still have a two-goal lead and then 407 in less than three minutes after that it’s a brutal

Turnover by Lori and it leads to a cross slot pass from a Mario who has a wide open nip lorai takes the puck out of the air the shot goes like two feet through the air Lori comes up with a stick and it bounces away he got saved at the game

For this it never would have happened if Lori hadn’t put this puck in danger to start with but it’s huge it maintains a two- gooal lead will that be what keeps the Bruins going no because less than three minutes later we’re just under 7even minutes in and the boys are

Collapsing everything that made them successful in the first is gone they’re trying to stretch the ice too far it’s turnover City they can’t tape to tape on anything they’re off sides any time they try to get through the Zone they’re icing the puck they are not covering

Their guys and they are looking for those plays that are easy cookies that are hey let’s just get it up ice things are going in the net for us and they’re just flinging them with no plan of attack they’re losing their board battles everything that made them

Successful in the first period is gone for this stretch of play that’s what you didn’t want to see that’s when you start going what the [ __ ] God nice they lose a puck in the neutral zone makavo is too high which I believe it’s makoy I had trouble finding

Who the other Defender was but it’s Grizz on the ice either way makavo is too high it leads to a two-on-one when they lost that battle on the wall in the neutral zone Grizz plays a two-on-one I thought really well cuz he ferociously attacks the first guy who gets the puck

And in this situation I thought it put the right amount of pressure to break it up and it does break it up nothing really comes from that initial chance but but it does lead to a scramble in front of the net and the fact that petrangelo is able to get there and get

Three shots on net before anyone gets a body to him that’s unacceptable that is unacceptable either way the third shot beats San and yeah you can talk about San rebound control all that kind of stuff kind of tough in that situation when they’re literally right in front of

You hammering away kind of tough there 3-2 and all that Goodwill you’re still a goal lead yeah but all the Goodwill that you had from that first period is Up in Smoke because it took you less than 10 minutes to get that lead down to one goal in the second

Period not great 613 left caros is going to go for roughy and we’re going to go the penalty kill there’s a he and short-handed Breakaway where he misses high and wide that was just unbelievably stressful at this point and then there’s a two onone coil passes directly into a diving petrangelo no

Shot gets taken during it but we do kill the power play the penalty B so at least there’s that and the the PK looked really good tonight really good 328 left Faceoff win by geeki those are huge on the right circle of the offensive zone

And the puck is moved to Grizz on the left point he needs some sort of Outlet here and pasta had swooped his way around the back of the net up through that left Circle Grizz feeds it to Pasta Pasta just grabs it turns fires I don’t know

If he ever even looked geeki is there to tip it low blocker that’s a hatti for Morgan geeky Morgan geeky has a hat trick to put you up by two goals against your Old Coach with three and a half minutes left of the second period win

That game right win that game you have four goals from your bottom six players a hatrick by one of them win that game right right better Point here make it through the second rest of the second period without giving up a goal maintain the two- goal lead well a minute and 14

Seconds later this team just holds up a big Fu sign to its fans because why not they I know they don’t do it on purpose and I love these players but man do they really sometimes it feels like they’re just sitting there going and they’re making it hard to

Trust leads they genuinely are they’re making it difficult to trust leads I really get that it’s a failed clearance and the buck gets moved down the wall to Stevenson behind the net and lorai God bless his soul sometimes man he decides to chase Around the Net to get to

Stevenson which is weird because you have the net front let him sit back there for a second until the structure comes back and then you can chase but when you chase there’s no one at the net front and what does Stevenson do he chooses the side you didn’t go to and

Just whips this Puck up to amario who gets to bury this free bid on San it’s 43 lorai is great there’s still stuff he’s getting better at that’s okay that’s what happens when you’re a rookie the last 45 seconds of this period sees W spoon hit a post and off that

Deflection a three-on-one the other way that maraso biffs so bad they don’t even get a shot off which you love to see shots are 15 to7 for the Vegas golden knights in that period and it is now 43 after a period where you led by three goals and then two

Goals not great here’s the good stuff you go to the third period this is a long video you go to the third period you’re up a goal these are the games you haven’t been closing out CL it out simpler said than done get it make a statement say hey we’re not tolerating

This anymore close it out and so what do they do well they draw a penal a power PL 308 in Kosar for crosschecking a blatant cross check we’re going to the power play and with about 8 seconds left of that power play posa takes a shot it

Gets deflected up in the air pasta’s our last guy back and he’s going to swipe at the bouncing Puck and miss it which means Stevenson gets a free Breakaway Nifty move Outside Inside just a casual little flip over the glove 44 on a shorthanded goal get didn’t close it out with that

One goal lead okay all right whole fan base at this point devastated I’m with you I get it but here’s the opportunity in front of you cuz there’s always another opportunity this opportunity is fine you blew a third period lead again win the game show yourself and the fan base all

Right [ __ ] it we ball and win the game and that’s what they did and it took a little help 625 left R Paul for tripping we’re going to the power play it was a really stupid I don’t know why he did that but we’re going to go to power play

And for almost 2 minutes it looks like we’re going to waste it and it looks like we’re damn going to give up another short-handed goal it was so bad at points but there’s a shot on net and Coyle retrieves the puck and he’s going to circle around and whip it up to

Shatty who’s at the top of the slot and he quickly moves this over to lorai who’s on the right Dot and he’s going to hammer this and it’s going to go five hole and it’s 54 power play goal with like 10 seconds left in the power play

You have 437 left on the clock your rookie def Defan just puts you up a goal win the game do whatever it takes but win this game you have worked too damn hard and failed too many times at this exact scenario win this for yourselves you know how much this means

To that locker room we like to live and die by these games and act like the players don’t players don’t like losing they simply don’t win this game 259 left Grizz is going to go for holding the stick make your complaints about Grizz I’m I’m just

I’m having a good time tonight I’m not in on it we’re going to go the penalty kill and not only do we kill it we then sur survive the remaining minute and or just about minute six on five do we score the femp net no do I give a flying [ __ ] Noe not

Even a little because you didn’t let a goal in in the final minute of Regulation 65 now does Swan have to make a diving save on a Stevenson chance where he’s wide open across the slot yeah he does especially after a failed clear he made the save though I mean look you could

Poke holes in any part of this game and say the Bruins suck you can you’re so capable of doing that why why do you want to right what does that make anybody feel better I say they faced a ton of adversity hopefully learned some lessons and still came out on

Top it’s a massive win and hopefully it builds some character in that locker room where these guys go see we can finish these just grit your teeth and get through it bear the weight bear the pressure and just win the game swayman makes the big save we clear the pucks game Game notes

The top six can’t get outscored by four goals by the bottom six and this team barely squeak got a win the top six has to be better when the bottom six is performing as well as they are now look last game I’m pretty sure all our goals

Were scored by the top six so obviously there’s an asterisk here it’s not like an everyday problem you can’t always be one or the other little bit of balance wouldn’t hurt here it really wouldn’t but the bottom six played great uh lur and w spoon another game note here excellent

They just make this team better man they have their flaws they absolutely do but wspoon shaton Kirk is way better than forbo shaton Kirk and I’m willing to bet that when Lind home comes back lorai wat spoon is going to be way better than forbort shaten kerk I’m going to believe

That until I can’t anymore they make the team better I I think there’s a real argument for forbo I I legitimately getting sent down at this point is that Brash no I don’t think so at all last game no and something I basically already said we built a big

Lead we lost the big lead showed all the same habits that have been frustrating us but then they locked it back in and they clawed their way back and they won in regulation it’s progress that’s all we’re asking for let the team continue to get better at the things they need to

Get better at that’s huge that’s a dub go bees go be once again guys thank you so much for watching but it is time to give a shout out to our highquality inspectors we’ve got our Top Line tier inspectors we got Brock nope Han slowmo coach D the bugman the atomic lizard

  1. How the hell are these guys still…STILL! first in the league!? there is no way this team is still in first place. what the actual hell!

  2. I can't be excited about this one. Vegas was missing 2 of their best players and we barely won. We still blew a 3 goal lead, we still took an unbelievably stupid penalty at the end of the game, and the top 6 is still getting outplayed by the bottom 6. One win in 21 days just doesnt change anything for me.

  3. I was the 69th like.
    I’m basically a God.
    I’m happy we finally won i regulation.
    I’m still confused about this team.
    I’m still not sure about our chances.

  4. Another amazing game, Geekie hattrick still seems like a fever dream, Lohrei's a stud when he needs to be, GO B's!

  5. This Earnest Man almost lost his guide to Optimism and then Lohrei saved us. When that game hit 4-4, I felt empty and dejected. Once the game hit zeros, I got back to baseline

  6. High quality B. Victory! And high quality analysis and deconstruction of play as usual. Steven the Screetch Dangle can’t hold a candle or puck to you my friend. Leaf fan here, my beloved leafs beat coyotes! They were supposed to, who cares Buddy if you come to Toronto on Monday Beers on me. Cheers!

  7. We gottta win atleast 5 in a row for me to take this team serious. Its 1 win. Dint come out next gane and throw a clunker. Sway hasnt been as good as he has been. Great game, but not happy w 3 goal lead and losing it. Go B's!

  8. Why am i hearing Ulmark for Pinto/Tarasenko trade…. please no… Ulmark for Brady Tkachuk I am listening….

  9. Brazeau Is a really really good addition to this 4th line. His big body winning board battles etc is a big help.

  10. Like comment and subscribe. Hit the bell too! lol.
    God this game was a relief. Finally lol. once we went up 3-0 and when the 2nd started i said to myself… Not again lol. Then it started lol and said yup here we f go lol.

  11. Was really pleased to see Geekie just shooting the puck. IMO he's been overthinking things for weeks and getting away from his greatest strength – his shot.

    That said take him off the PP and put Coyle there. He's got a bullet of a shot but he doesn't make decisions quickly enough. Plays die on his stick.

  12. Who on earth thinks Swayman has been an issue 😂😂, he’s the reason they don’t get blown out in some games

  13. they covet hanifin but i dont see him as a guy that cleans the front of the net. keep lysell and lohrei. the bruins have took 3/4 points from many of the "upper" teams.

  14. I was at the gym when this game was going on… I saw we took a 3 goal lead and said oh god no.. I hate that’s where our minds are at the moment..

  15. This game does not feel like a win. Idk why people are so positive after that performance. Bruins can not hold a lead. This is going to be a problem, mark my words

  16. Bruins finally win a game and I wake up to keith Richards cover of Lou Reeds waiting for the man dam life is freaking awesome.

  17. We needed the regulation win! Lohrie, while not a perfect game, he needs to stay. He's moving the puck really well. DeBrusk was MIA again with 27 points, he's a UFA who wants a big payday. Trade him now, doubtful he'll sign with us anyway. The last point, February wasn't great, but it's not April if you're going to slump better now.

  18. Great video, as always. Appreciate the late nights spent when you have early wake ups. Damn the west coast trips are brutal.

    Keep doing your thing my guy, I respect the hustle
