LQR Game 76: Closers :Bruins @ Predators

LQR Game 76: Closers :Bruins @ Predators

Finally working on the review for last night yeah I was not doing well last night well you and that dude drank a bottle of Jack each so who could really blame you honestly I can’t even remember most of it I’m just glad I didn’t record

You did what yep what what did I talk about what was on the video well it’s about 15 minutes of you complained about St Lauren’s officiating and then like aund 60 Minutes of what I could best describe as only fans content was it good dude it was so good

You’re like Jackie Chan in the Drunken Master but instead of alcohol making you a better kung fuest kung fuy kung fuer it just makes you really good at the whole woo really absolutely not you danced around to Da punks around the world on repeat for two and a half hours

While just jiggling naked hold on are you doing a bit right now or did I actually do this no you actually did that lowquality fans my high quality Bruins team that is a dub pretty good dub pretty good dub right there little shuty action Predators good team I know they dropped

A couple games before this one but that’s a pretty good dub some people called me out uh obviously this is a very late video this is almost a full day or going to be the full day after the game actually happened uh for a couple reasons you have been spared is what I’m

Really what has happened here because I said yesterday I was having some drinks with a buddy of mine to celebrate my recent engagement I don’t have a ring she didn’t buy me a ring how dare she I know but she got ring so engaged woot woot time to celebrate and

We did boy did we don’t remember a lot of it we celebrated though I apparently watched the game last night and then went to make a video now look I don’t remember most of this but here’s the thing I did have technical difficulties I put on Twitter I had technical

Difficulties and people were like eh you got too drunk which was accurate because the technical difficulty was plugging my webcam in it had come unplugged I don’t know how and I couldn’t figure that out I’m not proud this is sad and this is pathetic for a grown man but hey

That’s where we are so the only reason you don’t have a literally blackout lowall talking about this game saying God knows what a lot of notes I took were very aggressive towards the referes deleting most of those God knows what I would have said but I didn’t and

Uh we really missed out on what could have been a gem it also could have ended the whole Channel you don’t know we don’t know we just we don’t know but that’s a great freaking win and that’s a great game of hockey and you wonder the Predators they’ve

Lost three in a row now against mostly good teams us the ABS and Arizona but whatever but before that they went on a 160 and2 run that put them firmly in a playoff spot they are the first Wild Card currently and they’ve also basically locked in this whole like

We’re wild card team you probably still don’t want to play us in the first round because we look pretty good the kings are the only team in the west at this point where you’re like I want to play them right like what other team in the west are you comfortable be

I would love a matchup with that team it’s really just the Kings and then seven other teams that are damn good damn good the Predators season has been weird because you want to think of them as a good team but they rank 12th in offense 16th in defense not that scary

They have near the bottom rankings in power play which is 20th and penalty kill which is 26th obviously the first thing that comes to mind of hey why are they good well Saros must be having a great season but Saros has been pretty lackluster with a 907 save percentage

Through his year and just hasn’t been dominating the way we’re used to seeing him dominate then the light bulb goes off you look at their record and then you realize before that 163 and two run we’ll include the last couple of games they were 27 25 and two they were 500

Like 500 500 they were not in the picture man and then they rip off that really great month and a week which I don’t want to diminish or take anything away from that but did they just did they just have a really good month or are they a pretty

Good team I don’t know the answer to that and they become a lot less scary when you start to actually talk that out either way though they’ve been a great team for the past month and a half so you got to consider them what that for

Now at least and the Bruins the whole time brought it to them Patiently I thought the PRS had some really great moments in this one obviously olark was huge and you could say he stole that game I think he this doesn’t feel like a steal this feels like the

Goenda had let him down per se but a really excellent effort across the board from both teams the Bruins are going to line up as such Martian Coy de Brusque hinen zaka poock jvr geeky Frederick beer Bist brazo like comment subscribe nailed it we’re going to talk about brazo unfortunately Lindo Mack lorai

Carlos shaton Kirk Peak omark those defensive parings are going to get pretty scattered around too as lorai did spend a good amount of time with shaton Kirk particularly late in the game uh but a lot of a lot of mixing around for that but let’s talk about this game shall we puck

Drops because this game has so little moments to actually speak of until later in it we get to be a little nitpicky on some stuff and I get to Point some things out with the time that we’re going to save you know maybe maybe this video isn’t 20 minutes long probably

Will be eight minutes in shaten Kirk he’s continuing to do himself zero favors to try to lock into like the six to start the playoffs I’m happy with SH KK more or less I think he’s been better as the season goes along and he’s going

To be a solid sthd option for us but there’s a moment the Bruins are gassed they haven’t been able to get a line change in a while and we get possession in our end and shaton Kirk is behind the net and he just whips it around to a a

Side of the ice has zero Bruins on it it gets intercepted at the point the Predators start their offensive possession all over again Sha at time he had space he could look around and make a play or skate it up if you wanted to no he just chucked that crap and turn it

Over and it’s little moments like that and this is the same thing I have with Lori right now honestly is there’s too many little moments where you go that that’s going to be in the back of our net more often than it isn’t if you continue to make plays like that I don’t

Think shaton K’s doing himself a lot of favors just in general 836 left of the first period P going to go for roughing we’re going to go the penalty kill we kill it and we get a makoy short-handed Breakaway big save blocker save by Soros

But we kill it and 250 left Shen is going to go for roughing he got brazo high in the middle of the ice I didn’t get a great look at this I’m I’m worried that it’s like a wrist issue or something that caught the arm weird but

Brazil would not return we go on the power play the power play does not look good or anything like that a brao injury impacts his team much more than I want to believe honestly because you’re like right bottom six guy grinder but he has been so impactful on the games that he’s

Been a part of that I mean he’s a luck to be in your bottom six if he’s healthy right now an absolute luck and not a lot of guys on our bottom six can consider themselves true locks I don’t think I don’t think boist can I don’t think

Beeer can I think they’ll likely be in the lineup game one but I I wouldn’t call them locks uh I wouldn’t call jvr or loco locks obviously so as a guy who’s got signed Midway through the season and had to force his way in the lineup like that he’s been awesome

Brazil’s been great I haven’t seen any news yet that’s a little more firm on what’s going on hopefully we get that soon we’re getting go to the second period And this is where my just absolute loathing of franois St lauron uh I wrote St lauron is a dip [ __ ] like eight

Times how childish uh accurate though holy crap is he bad at his job 105 in makavo is going to get called with one of the most egregiously bad tripping calls of the Year awful awful call doesn’t matter we kill it 541 left de Brusque is going to go for one of the

Worst interference calls we’ve seen all year awful call that’s fine we kill it and during the kill this good Puck Movement by the Predators and it unleashes Yosi with a wide open net just a pass that comes across the crease there some contact withar that knocks

Him down it is a wide open net for Yosi and he goes baring out that was my Puck don’t lie moment honestly because we didn’t I these these penalties we just didn’t deserve to be on the kill for them either way 238 left Smith is going to go for high sticking we’re going

Power play power play doesn’t do anything once again third period starts how are you feeling this is genuinely something I want answered how are you feeling going to the third because personally I thought that was 40 minutes of great hockey they’re doing the little things well there’s highs and lows there’s

Mistakes being made I’m not saying it was a perfect game but I thought the structure was there I thought Omar was playing great it’s been a while since I feel like a goalie really really grabbed a game and said this one’s mine and I I just feel like Omar was at that level

For this one and has been at that level actually for a few games but this really felt like he took a grip on this game but were you confident because the way this team’s playing l I went in a third kind of confident which is I I wouldn’t say something

That’s been normal all year I I would say there’s been a lot of there’ be a lot of push back to that especially in close games because you sit there and go all right even if we get the first goal we’re going to give it right back are we

Going to be able to close the game out are they going to score on six on five like all those thoughts come to mind 827 left of the period lorai is going to go for hooking here we go penalty kill under 10 minutes left this is massive and not

Only are we killing it wonderfully but with 20 seconds left of the penalty kill Omar wraps around his net to collect a puck that got dumped in and he Chucks it down the boards I’m pretty sure he gets an assist on this play Because as he

Flings this up the left boards Maran is going to go all the way up to the offensive zone to win the race to it and basically stops on that left Point collects the puck and quickly chips it over to the slot where Cole is streaking short-handed Breakaway and bar dski top

Glove Flawless execution 56 points on the season that is tying a career high for Coyle and that’s a one Zer lead with a short-handed goal from the man himself oh my God Charlie Coyle what a he’s been so good this year especially after we talked [ __ ] about our

Centers all the way leading up to this season not even like talking crap about them but just every time we said well we don’t have a true number one Center which we don’t uh or we’re not even sure if we have a top six center on the roster it’s still talking crap about

Coil like there’re Strays you don’t mean to hit them with them but you’re hitting them bet you were afraid of giving it back though no one’s that confident with the Bruins right now everyone’s a little bit gunshot when it comes to the last few minutes of the game with onego lead

And with 242 left the defense doing a great job we’re really limiting chances we’re breaking the pock out of our Zone well and we break it out once again and pasta’s just going to do the hustle thing down the right wall speeds into the offensive zone leading somewhat of a

Three on three with zaka as your trailer pasta is going to Chuck it cross the slot to Heinen who Heinen goes too deep right he gets keeps his four momentum can’t settle the puck get get the puck on net so the whole defensive structure just turns to kind of pin him towards

The wall as he’s skating a little bit too far past a real angle and for some reason no one picks up zaka Heinen just Chucks it right back into the slot where Haka is alone Saros had sold out on the pasta pass so it’s a wide openen net

That’s two Z and pasta with a minute and 24 seconds left is going to get the 110 foot empty net goal in it’s 30-0 and that’s your final not a lot of game notes there right there’s not a ton to speak of but the actual game notes are more about

Uh St lauron being a [ __ ] sorry anyway things that this game is has really done for me first of all Omar has a vice grip on the starting job and if Swan’s play doesn’t at least pick up a little bit he might not even do the

Rotation this year and no one would be able to blame Monty everyone would go San who I’ll give you some numbers over the last five games or five starts for olark he has six goals allowed on 140 shots good for a 942 save percentage through that stretch right Swan during

His last five games has 17 goals allowed on 120 shots and an 858 save percentage now look you can make any argument you want about the level of of uh danger that each shot is and is San facing a harder workload not a heavier workload but like a more difficult one there

There’s a conversation to be had there I don’t think it’s a valid one I think Omar’s playing way better I think this game showed that and if Swan doesn’t at least get back to where he should be he’s going to get left out altogether which is going to have more trickle

Effects as we go I don’t expect San to stay in this rut I expect him by the time the playoffs roll around him to be feeling pretty good about his game but he is running out of Runway there the Brazil injury we’ve talked about it’s impactful and we don’t know what Pat

Maroon is going to look like but the the preference was Pat maroon comes in and bumps a guy like Lao out or someone along those lines right maybe jvr guys who just aren’t bringing a ton right now you certainly don’t want to have to rely on maroon to replace brazo who’s kind of

In the heart and soul of the bottom six lately so tough tough injury let’s see how it goes as Bruins have been pretty healthy this recent run so you know injuries are going to happen it just kind of sucks anyway last thing this team is doing something that we

Really needed to see they’ve won three of their last four and they’re closing games out and they’re doing it well now look omark made some huge saves he only have to had to make one save in the last two minutes of this one they only allowed one

Shot the team is is getting a better handle on six on five they are closing games out stronger they’re building on their leads like this is this is a good development we got to see it continue but this is huge this matters I I was really pumped to see the way they finish

This one because this was the perfect type of game with the way the Predators had played comeback kids in so many games over the last two months this was the perfect game for the Bruins to show once again like ah we just can’t hold on

To lead at the end and instead they were like no we we’ve figured this out we can do this now look teams are going to come back on us at times it happens it happens to everybody obviously the Bruins have been egregiously bad at this season holding those those late leads

The past couple weeks that’s hasn’t been the truth they’ve been finishing games it matters and I’m I’m pumped about it that’s like we are so good at keeping games close which means we’re giving ourselves chances to win if we can also hold leads in a third the sky the limit

Man what I should be a coach right what a stupid thing to say hey if we could if we could keep games close and also win them in the third this team would be pretty good I think they would be I think they’d be pretty good anyway guys

It does it for me like comment subscribe nailed it um I’m getting out of my slump this past month has been a complete [ __ ] show for this channel but we’re getting back into the groove and getting geared up for a playoff run man here we go go
