Bruins @ Maple Leafs - Feb. 1st, 7:30pm - SN, TSN 1050

[Guilt Trip]

Samsonov bails out Rielly!

I don't know what Rielly was thinking there...get in his way or something. Samsonov has been great so far.

He can't get into a stickhandling match with Pastrnak.  Spectacular save, got a little lucky that Pastrnak couldn't elevate the shot.

Def don't want to do that. Pasta is going to get paid large.

 

[ZBBM]

Nice defense from Sandin.

 

[ZBBM]

Dammit.  SH 1-0

Rielly just zoned out.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Poor display of defending there

 

[ZBBM]

Another PP opportunity.

 

[L K]

Our special teams really isn't very special.  I greatly dislike the overreliance on those drop passes for zone entry.  The whole point is the generate speed on the zone entry and the. Do slow and deep drop passes that have everyone stationary and then turn the puck over.

A better PP defenseman would be a nice deadline acquisition

 

[Guilt Trip]

Great shot Marner...apple to Samsonov

 

[ZBBM]

Marner evens it!

 

[L K]

I'm really losing patience with Rielly

And then a big outlet pass from Samsonov to Marner and a great shot to tie it up

 

[ZBBM]

I'm really losing patience with Rielly

He hasn't a good game.  Or season.

 

[ZBBM]

Sandin and Liljegren out too long and not a good goal by Ilya.

 

[L K]

Simmonds is so fricking useless.  He had a chance to change and stayed on the ice

 

[azzurri63]

Both Bruin goals due to our inept to take a body and get the puck out.

 

[ZBBM]

Giordano has had his usual solid game.

 

[dekedastardly]

Leafs still losing the majority of battles for loose picks against this Bruins team. Sorry but these kids need more sand.

 

[Bender]

Refs are embarrassing not calling anything for Bunting.

They could use Matthews of course.

I don't think that's been the problem at all.  Our #1 d-man isn't getting it done, and the previous good play of the 4th line was negated by failing to take a change.

 

[L K]

Refs are embarrassing not calling anything for Bunting.

That was an atrocious shift.  Getting interfered with and the taking a stick/glove to the face that makes him bleed...directly in front of the ref.

But hey NHL viewership is down 20%.  Bettman should get another extension

 

[Bill33]

But hey NHL viewership is down 20%.

I don't think that's true. But I certainly don't doubt traditional tv viewing of the game is down.

 

[ZBBM]

Oh come on, Ilya.  That was crap
