That shouldn’t be even up really mcavoy was punching heads.

Tippett needs to move to the puck not sit and wait for it

That kid is always swimmin around the goalie’s blindside like a shark with blood in the water.

Tippett and frost need to pick it up. Solid work by that line led to the nice goal by York. Lots of heavy hits by Boston. Kept their discipline and got it done. I find the bruins are kings of late hits and interference. You might say that it’s finishing checks but you can count to five after the puck is gone

I agree does that a lot…

Anyone else feeling like Cam York and Travis Sanheim together isn’t really working? I know they were a great pair before York got hurt. But now Sanheim is sort of come into his own in a different way and it feels like they’re getting each other‘s way. They’re kind of the same player.

And of course mcavoy going after him like crazy. Cross checking him while he’s on the ground. He deserve the double minor.

Yeah, I kind of feel like Frost needs that confidence talk that Jagr gave Giroux years ago. I remember Claude saying how he learned to take every shift much more intensely.

Thank me. Barely finished typing…. Sanheim feeds York for the goal.

Yes. Could you complain about mm now? I want him to get a hat trick

Michkov will never get a hat trick, got lucky to get two and stopped playing?

he's right though, I kind of felt they were getting in each other's way last game. i kind of want them to play through it and figure it out. i don't think they've been bad, just a couple of shifts here and there.

Yes Tippet can’t wait for the puck but Zamula can’t float 80 ft passes across the neutral zone.

York seems a bit rusty….hopefully that goal helps snap him back into form…he’s getting better as the game goes on.

Exactly. I’m actually a big fan of not having too many people out there who want the puck all the time and both those guys do.

Kolosov giving “young Bobrovsky.” he goes down a little bit early. Struggles with outside shots and picking them up. Has a weird stance when players go behind the net net. And can’t handle the puck to save his life. But he’s quick and there is definitely something there.

TK should’ve gone off a concussion protocol. Definitely wasn’t in his right mind when he hit McAvoy.

You can work with all of those aspects of the kid has good reflexes and battles well. He seems very athletic.

Yup

Not a winning strategy.
Even the bruins announcers said that he fell on his own. Shouldn’t have been a penalty.

Refs are struggling these days.

Glad I cashed out with Flyers up 3-2....
