B’s lost composure…and were sloppy from the get go….they are better than the Canadiens..this game reminded me so much like that Saturday afternoon game last season against the Canucks at the Garden…same emotion…very disappointing to watch, especially after having the lead….

Bruins looked very good at times but again fail to bury their many chances. They can’t keep winning 3-2 or 2-1 and need to get some more offense. Give the Canadiens credit they played a good game and made the Bruins take some tough penalties. Another thing, lately the Bruins seem to be down a man 10-14 minutes a game. Every time they start to dominate a guy goes to the box. Lucic looks like he’s being watched by the officials like a hawk.

This was a horribly undisciplined game by the B’s. They gave the puck away all over the ice, failed to pick up their checks in front of their own net, and fell for the Canadiens’ cheap crap. The Canadiens executed their game plan of knocking the B’s off of theirs. The B’s may have been tougher tonight, but the Habs were smarter and all that matters is the “W”. How does Lucic manage to disappear for such long stretches of a game? He just goes AWOL.

As much as it pains me to say it, Montreal deserves a lot of credit.  They lost a sloppy game at home in OT last nite, took a late flight to Boston and came out flying and did not get derailed.  I do not like that team, but I respect what they did tonight.  Tough night for Krejic as he had a half a hand in two goals against.  The 10 minute misconduct on Chara was BS.  Tough loss but they’ll be fine.  

…and very disappointing coming off of the come from behind win against Tampa….

 Agreed 100%, the only time you see Lucic lately is when he’s on his way to the penalty box.

I agree with your observation on the Bruins being penalized.  The league is known for setting their sights at times, and you may be right.  The Habs came in and earned the two points though.   

Plus three goal post shots however givaways and penalties help a fast skating team. Tough to lose after a 3-2 lead. GO Bruins. Tough schedule will tell.

You’re dead on the money with the posts !  Is there anything worse than that sound ?  It’s all but in.  Lot’s of hockey this month.  We will see what they’re made of here right now.  

i just spent the past hour apologizing to my cat for kicking him in the face when seguin’s shot with 2 seconds left didn’t go in.

 Lol, nice….. I thought he was going to bury that one. The tough part of the whole thing is the one on Saturday was a much harder shot than tonights.

Just when you thought Seguin was turning the corner……

B’s just couldn’t get it done.  Tough loss. 
At least Thorton showed there’s nothing wrong with his noggin with those
hits tonight.  I knew Chara was going to
make Alexei Emelin pay for his cheap shot on Seguin.  You could just hear him say, hey that one of
our franchise guys there.  Too bad the
Habs befitted with him being off the ice for 17 minutes as a result. 

Yes….I get what Julien was saying about the cheap shots etc that the Habs are doing …but still…they need to just come out, pound away, solid, clean, heavy checking…think about losing Chara for 17 minutes…it was the same thing that happened against the Canucks a year ago…the same freakin’ thing…

 Lol, go check out the Julien story and see all the trolls basking in the loss.

Seems like 2 guys with about 4 IDs each going to town on the Bruins. Man it must really suck to have to troll another team’s fan site.

Good game, but tough results. The Bruins came out a little flat in the third period and Montreal played their rushing game and it worked. Based on the last six games, Bruins should not have to worry to much about Montreal – Montreal probably needed to prove they could win more than the Bruins did.

That said, it was tough to see a lack of discipline at times in the third quarter. There was a lot of sloppy play and the Canadiens were in front of the net too often. Chara would have helped prevent that. While some people might be upset about his penalty, given the liberties the Sabres took a few weeks ago, I totally understand it; especially after the cheap shot on Seguin.  I saw Haggerty try to explain to Giardi that, sometimes, you might have to take a loss to prove something more important down the line…and I would have to agree with that.

I just wish Chara would really land one in one of these few fights he gets into, that might make it worth it- as it was he got 17 minutes for ragdolling someone.

Team didn’t play smart, turned the puck over too much- Refs blew, as usual!!!!!! A game they could have/ should have won- hopefully it gives them their edge back

The Seguin pass was world class. That line looked all-time almost all night long. 

David Krejci was finally forced (probably by situation. I think he was alone) to drive to the net instead of pulling up at the half wall. I honestly believe it was the first time he has made that move all season. His tendency to move the puck backwards in every situation cost them a goal on that weird back-tip to Boychuck in traffic. He often does the same thing on the offensive end, but last night he tucked his shoulder and drove to the net. If he can’t mix that in more often on his own, it’s up to someone else to force him to do so against his will. His mindset is and will always be too passive and he needs to play with a more consistent sense of urgency in all situations. It’s Rondo-esque in it’s “here, you have the ball now so if something goes wrong it’s your fault or if we don’t score it’s your fault. I’m going to go stand over here. My work is done.” It’s no longer cute, and shouldn’t be left up to him if he can’t fix it on his own.

Shout out to Dan Paille for some darn good work… Flying around, hitting people, making those slick puck-clearing plays along the wall…… most of the game.. Dan, try to eliminate some of those lackadaisical moments. As much as I am a fan of the game you play, you are not the kind of player who can accurately judge a good time to coast (nor are you likely to get the benefit of the doubt when it ends up costing… goal scorers have an easier time being excused in those situations). Just try to be a little more ready to react when a play is broken up. There were a few times last night where you could have recovered the puck quickly if you had stayed focused. That’s really it – temporary losses of focus. But that is kind of a nit. I only say it because I want to see you out there in as many situations as possible, and I think you are just beginning to maximize your overall potential.

Glad to see Horton shooting more quickly more often. Unfortunately that’s the only good thing I can say about his game right now. He has pretty horrible fundamentals and they are showing badly right now.

The defense had their worst game in a long while, mostly due to Ference who appears to need a few nights off to recharge and clear his head. Something’s way off there. Course a high-flying offensive attack is probably going to result in a looser defense no matter what happens so maybe that was partly the cause. Tough to say.

As for Brad Marchand, well, worth the price of a season ticket if you ask me. Smart, skilled, tough,  ball buster (tap. tap. How’s the knee?). My kind of hockey player.

Upon reading this you owe me $0.99 which is entirely reasonable and I accept all major credit cards. Thanks and GO B’S/C’S/SAWX.
