Bruins Highlights: Best Of Boston, Philadelphia’s Dramatic Finish To Intense Game
Welcome to Bruins overtime live presented by B toyota.com Adam Pellerin Billy jaffy Barry Peterson Bruins come back but fall short in Philly 32 your final in a game that saw the Bruins not score for the first 50 minutes of the game they come back they tie they come
Back again and then at the end of the day you’re thinking okay well this is this is a winnable game but at the end then 90 seconds left that all goes away yeah and if it wasn’t for all Mark you know to be begin with even as you come
Into this thing you’re outshot 16 to7 in a third period where you’re supposed to be a little bit desperate you didn’t have it uh and as brick was talking about uh you know from the second period on as we talked about in the green room this game was very very winnable there
For you yeah but there there’s something I don’t know there it doesn’t I don’t like the look of it I I didn’t I didn’t you know you mentioned 16 to7 in the third I don’t like how they started am I happy they make an effort to come back
Sure but chasing a game you know whatever sport you’re playing it’s tiring man yeah it’s tiring right and you’re playing a team that’s desperate very desperate and I don’t see the desperation out of the Bruins right now last couple of games so I know we’re not
At the playoffs yet but this is about playoff positioning right again you have opportunities the other night Florida loses you don’t win you don’t get nothing you get nothing against New York you don’t separate here you lose this game I don’t know I I think there has to
Be that especially the top guys again that gut check that’s what I was going to where we at right now guys after we said after the Rangers game the top six for the Bruins and the top you know the top D weren’t necessarily there uh and
We’re saying it for the second game in a row and considering you came back twice to tie in that third period and you were tied with 90 seconds left you’re thinking at least you’re going to grab a point out of this but then Tyson forer
Uh comes storing up at the left side and beats Selena Omar yeah the Bruins get caught here Billy and you know paling moves it over to forer and’s you’re not sure right there if it goes off Carlos stick or not as brickin said he wasn’t sure we couldn’t tell we tried to slow
It down and you know Mark that’s one you expect to make that sa but the Bruins get caught there in a turnover and they can’t get back to help out the D got to kind of back in because it’s a three on two and that’s one the way allar had
Been playing that third period That’s one you think he’s going to get yeah there’s a switch you see van remake’s back checking and then emotions over Mak can’t get the Forester quickly Carlo I beg your pardon I think it does something goes off the stick I think
There’s a little bit of contact whether it’s the puck or the follow through regardless you’d love to have a save there but you were getting so many saves but you’d love to have that that that save made there I mean Forester Snipes kid’s been hot lately yeah he’s been gr
I I just you know something I think the Bruns are having an issue with I want to say it seemed like a harmless three on two but that just the speed of the opponent they we saw numerous times in this game fellas where Philadelphia accelerated and they got out of their
Zone and they created something like that and the Bruins had to chase them a bit and here was another example of speed allowing them to make something not out of nothing but something out of to with less than 2 minutes left to go a bad turnover down in the offensive zone
That creates the three on two that allows them to attack you with with uh speed to the neutral zone you have to have a really good recognition that you know of the clock in your head that hey I can’t turn this thing over here I got
To keep it deep and try and give us a chance to score a goal but at least not get one against yeah so that’s how it ended let’s show you how we got there in the third period the Bruins trailing one to nothing halfway through the period
Justin brazo which starts with a nice play from Jake de brus too yeah good play by lorai to to Coy he moves it up and then all of a sudden you’re going to see brazo the big guy go to the backand and as we were saying guys in the GRE
Green Room what a great story for this kid giving the opportunity and take advantage of it but was a great pass by lorai then Coyle sticks with it and he’s able to get it by two guys right there and brazzo recognizes he’s got time Billy and he takes it to the back end
Yeah I me if you’re Philadelphia though right here you’re saying why do I have two guys outside the dots there right I mean what what are we doing over there that was zamula who gets caught outside the dots and now brazzo gets it after it goes through the skates and there’s this
Long Reach Johnson trying to cover the far post he’s desperately trying to get back but brazo on the real Long Reach something pretty cool to watch right there there’s no way for the golender ersen to be able to keep up on that but again listen this is guy big guy strong
Guy and he’s a skilled player for his size take a look at the numbers over the last three games when I said Jake debrusk I was thinking of the Bruin’s second goal where de brus made a nice play obviously Charlie Cole and Justin brazzo teaming up right there but Travis
Kkny who scored the first goal of the game on a power play assisted by Tyson Forest who ended up with a gamewinner scores the Flyers second goal which gives them the lead with less than five to go yeah and this is after Martian loses the puck thinks about changing and
Then back the other way again in transition Barry goes the the Philadelphia fly seems like a harmless play right is connec is going to get a little drive to the middle I don’t know Omar must be thinking that tippet must see him out of his peripheral vision and that he’s
Coming in because he gets off his post just a little bit and this goes under the pad right goes under his left pad uh you’ll see right there beats him almost at the toe area and goes in it’s kind of an awkward set I felt by yeah to me it
Looks like allmark is kind of really expecting that that’s going to be a pass across the tip and he starts to cheat and then once there five hole Open start of the game is Travis conect me three goals four assists in his last six games
Now has 30 goals on the kid plays hard man every game what Billy 30 goal season and so uh two goals and assists in three games against the Bruins I mentioned uh TR Jake de brus coming up with a nice Play It’s led to a Danton highing goal
So let’s show you how that one played out yeah it was as you had mentioned was the first a great pass by De bruss to geeky right here he controls it gets a nice pass and then geeky re recognizes he’s by himself Billy he’s going to hold
On to it and wait for a change and then he sees I don’t know how he saw hin in there and he throws this all the way across the center of the ice in that big seam and Heinen lets it go all the way across to his forehand and he’s able to
One time it what a shot really hard play and it’s not like Philly doesn’t have numbers back four black sweaters are back there Heinen though stays above the freay and here he’s coming into the play from the outside he stays away from the any potential back Checker that opens up
The lane for him stick on ice and he does SNS a little I mean it’s a rocket of a one-time two good reads there’s patient read by debrus and then watch here Puck protection and then swivel actually to the inside by by uh Morgan geeki and then he ends up you think he’s
Going to curl up instead he swirls to the inside and there’s a gorgeous pass and there it is that’s kind of made it look easy that’s anything but easy that is so difficult what he did right there and he got a ton on it you’re thinking
At that point okay you showed life good stuff you’re showing some fortitude gumption whatever you want to call it right come on like like you said earlier get a point out of that but that’s a bad habit that’s been kind of you know hanging around here for you know a
Couple of months now where you can’t hold on to your lead or at least get you into overtime in that late in that third period yep too bad Bruins walk away empty-handed after a 3-2 loss to the Flyers uh there’s still time to enter the Boston Bruins foundation’s march to

Bruins looking terrible lately. They need to pick it up or out in first round.
Observations: 1) When Marchy took the knee, the no call should have brought the wrath of Monty , who could have sent the team a wake up call even if he was ejected. Someone in Marchand's corner could've taken a 5 minute fighting major in response. 2) Last year Bruins fans were shocked when the Bs were eliminated in the first round. This year there will be shock if they make it past the first round.
Need new coach
More like a bore fest.
