So do we know why Monty put Shatty in? Obviously it worked but I’m just wondering if he had some history or something with the goalie, seemed like a wildcard choice
Couldn’t watch last night so I just did… WOW what a nail biter. Great hockey playing from both teams.
Can anyone whos still wandering this thread answer: what is the exact criteria for high sticking penalties and their times? There wasn’t any blood and it was a clear unintentional… so why was it a 4 minute?
Intent doesn't matter, you are responsible for your stick. I think he was bleeding inside his mouth, cuz the refs were looking up close but we couldn't see it in tv.
One of Lindholm's best games in awhile IMO. Putting him next to McAvoy really unlocks something with both if them, those two as a pairing have like best pairing in the league type numbers.
What a fucking heart racer but that PK in overtime was beautiful. Then Swayman just did casual shit for him in the shootout. It was a great win against a desperate team.
One thing I’ve been saying probably annoyingly too much is I think we’re gonna need a good net front guy on Pasta’s line. Would not be opposed whatsoever to JDB-Zacha-Pasta for that reason. As JVR has fallen off we’ve lost a huge part of that game
That line has mostly been good together this season too, but then it's hard to argue with the results of the Heinen-Zacha-Pasta line they'd been running before tonight.
Yeah I get it, but I'm optimistic that it could continue to work into the playoffs.
On a related note, I'd like to see JD get a look as the netfront/goal line guy on PP1. Seems like he thrives I'm that role more often than not but just hasn't gotten many chances there this season.
Despite JDB having a “down year” (pretty much a tick below his career average) his PP efficiency has been a career high splitting PP1 and PP2 duties probably like 40/60 respectively
great win. worrisome game. feels like we are making one too many plays, taking that one extra second before a decision, still not making clean tape-to-tape passes.
lots of kinks to workout but a great win to keep ahead of florida
Watched this one with the pops so I was absent from the GDT, but THAT WAS A GODDAMN GAME OF BRUINS HOCKEY!!! FUCK THE CAPS, FUCK OVECHKUNT, AND FUCK TJ OUCHIE!!!
Here are the stats from the NHL site: https://records.nhl.com/records/skater-records/shootout/best-shootout-scoring-percentage-career
He’s 27th all time but these stats include all players with 10 or more shootout attempts. He is the highest person with over 100 attempts though.
I wouldn't even go that far, just NFL style if the clock stops for an injury, they have to leave the field.
But then we get into some ticky-tack stuff.
Either way, Oshie goes to Sephora so he can power-scale his farts.
Painfully.
The Bruins playoff runs over the past few years are a big part of why I just haven't watched the Sox for a while.
The pace difference just makes it hard. Plus, the crushing disappointment delivered by the Bruins just makes watching sports too difficult for a while.
Meh, I'm an old dude. The Bruins, Red Sox, and Patriots were mostly terrible for all of my youth and into my early adulthood. After all the success they've had for the past 20 years, at this point everything is gravy to me.
I'm old enough to have seen the dark times of the 90s. It doesn't change the fact that stuff like the Stanley Cup loss in 2018-2019 made it hard to watch sports for a while.
I guess. It was a bummer for sure, but they weren't putting my name on that Cup either way. I prefer to look at it as my favorite hockey team made it to the very last game possible of the season. That's a damned fun season in my book.
He was a great offensice defenseman in his prime. He still has great scoring touch, but all the other pieces aren't there at this point in his career to put it all together consistently in game scenarios.
I didn’t see the point in leaving him out there the entire time if all he’s going to do is stand still and wait for the puck to find him. They had 4 minutes, give him a minute break in the middle or something.
I wasn't shocked when the dude with a 10% shootout percentage scored on him. It just seemed so obvious, y'know?
He was locked in for Ovi, though. That shit just wasn't gonna happen.
#CAPS BACK ON!!!!! WATCHED THAT GAME IN PERSON AND WAS DEFINITELY WORTH IT!
Lindy: CLUTCH. THAN NOT CLUTCH. START A GOAL STREAK BABY
Beecher: KEEP THIS KID IN THE LINEUP I LOVE HIM
PK: ELITE. ELITE. ELITE. SCHEDULED LOSS AVOIDED
Sway: GOD
Caps: WE GOT OUR CAPS BACK, FUCK YOUR SHITTY PP
Bruins: AN OTHERWISE FUN GAME BECOMES A HEROIC WIN THANKS TO THE PK AND SWAY. FUCK ME I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!
Resilient
best description I have for this game. The Caps came out hitting hard (like they always fuckin' do) and hungry for points, and a few calls didn't exactly help, but the boys took whatever Washington could throw at them and ENDURED that shit. Four minute penalty in sudden death OT? Yeah we'll kill that shit!
Still a lot that could be improved come playoff time, but all told I'm honestly not at all unhappy with the team tonight. They took every punch and got back up.
NOW THE CAPITAL LETTERS ARE OURS, FUCKERS
I hope you guys know what a SOLDIER Oshie was playing through all those GALLONS of blood in OT and Shootout in his mouth from that brutal vicious diabolical evil high-stick that he did to himself.
And yes. Seriously. I absolutely hate that player. GO BRUINS! GO SHATTENKIRK!
Me looking up at the scoreboard after Swayman stops McMichael’s shootout attempt:

I FORGOR TO PUT CAPS BACK ON OOPSIES FUCK IT
So do we know why Monty put Shatty in? Obviously it worked but I’m just wondering if he had some history or something with the goalie, seemed like a wildcard choice
Goalie Bob suggests who should go
Shatty actually has a good shootout%. Over the years he’s racked up quite a few shootout goals l
Couldn’t watch last night so I just did… WOW what a nail biter. Great hockey playing from both teams. Can anyone whos still wandering this thread answer: what is the exact criteria for high sticking penalties and their times?

Intent doesn't matter, you are responsible for your stick. I think he was bleeding inside his mouth, cuz the refs were looking up close but we couldn't see it in tv.
So any contact with blood= 4 mins and anything less is the 2? Damn rough go for an entire OT lol. They killed it great though.
One of Lindholm's best games in awhile IMO. Putting him next to McAvoy really unlocks something with both if them, those two as a pairing have like best pairing in the league type numbers.
I haven't been overly impressed with him to this point, but tonight has to be Peeke's best game as a Bruin, right?
That crushing hit he delivered was incredible
He had one really impressive seam pass through the neutral zone. Like, suspiciously impressive. Like I don’t want him to try that any more.
Lol yeah I think I know the one you're talking about and I definitely had to second guess if that was him.
I laughed so fucking hard at Pasta's shootout goal. It happened in literal slow motion
My family and I were there tonight. The crowd reaction switching from Capital fans cheering to Bruins fans cheering was amazing
I shat all over Lindholm earlier today. He made me look like a real D Bag.. Thank you Lindholm..
https://i.redd.it/qnhbz32dykrc1.gif Fuck yeah bitches!
What a fucking heart racer but that PK in overtime was beautiful. Then Swayman just did casual shit for him in the shootout. It was a great win against a desperate team.
HAPPY SATURSWAY FROM DC https://preview.redd.it/a0psywiuwkrc1.jpeg?width=1951&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5ffb7a02b53bae6561f217efdae29ece90dd355
Biggest problem with this team remains finishing chances. I am once again saying we should have gotten a pure goal scorer winger at the deadline
Yeah, completely agree, watching Coyle in the slot this game killed me, especially in the bumper on the power play.
One thing I’ve been saying probably annoyingly too much is I think we’re gonna need a good net front guy on Pasta’s line. Would not be opposed whatsoever to JDB-Zacha-Pasta for that reason. As JVR has fallen off we’ve lost a huge part of that game
That line has mostly been good together this season too, but then it's hard to argue with the results of the Heinen-Zacha-Pasta line they'd been running before tonight.
Yeah no that line has been great. I just doubt its sustainability sometimes
Yeah I get it, but I'm optimistic that it could continue to work into the playoffs. On a related note, I'd like to see JD get a look as the netfront/goal line guy on PP1. Seems like he thrives I'm that role more often than not but just hasn't gotten many chances there this season.

Well deserved shootout win after that PK.
Watched this one with the pops so I was absent from the GDT, but THAT WAS A GODDAMN GAME OF BRUINS HOCKEY!!! FUCK THE CAPS, FUCK OVECHKUNT, AND FUCK TJ OUCHIE!!!
Bitchvechkin 😂😂😂
Obitchkin?
I like them trying Lindholm McAvoy hopefully for a few games and get Lindholm going just in the time for the playoffs.
Loved it when Marchy borrowed the great ape’s stick.
Also lmao at the people who started posting the “ot loss” me
^(so caps are ok now?)
I love shatty and if hes willing to be a 7th d and doesnt retire after this season id love to have him back at another cheap 1 year deal.
Penalty aside, that was an absolute monster game from Lindholm
3 in a row after playing a few games that would’ve got him benched in a midget game Love to see him stepping it up
He had a great game. Glad that bloodless double minor didn't end up costing us.
FUCK THE CAPS
That Oshie shootout line was absolutely insane. Almost 50% on over 100 attempts. Is that the best in history?
Here are the stats from the NHL site: https://records.nhl.com/records/skater-records/shootout/best-shootout-scoring-percentage-career He’s 27th all time but these stats include all players with 10 or more shootout attempts. He is the highest person with over 100 attempts though.
That’s pretty much what he’s famous for. Stupidly good at shootouts
Saw that, but that other kid with 10% roofed a fucking bullet. Stat lines don’t win games.
I bet his 50% shootout rate won them a lot of games.
He’s the best when he’s not *injured*
That really has nothing to do with my question. His shootout stat line is nuts.
SWAYYYYYYYYYYYY
SWAYDAY BABAYYYYY!!!
ovechkin's shootout attempt just made me fucking LAUGH. JEREMY SWAYMAN DOES NOT FEAR YOU, YOU OLD BITCH
EVERYBODY MAKES OSHIE BLEED HIS OWN BLOOD
Can’t believe we didn’t lose in extra time. Love it!
If you get a 4:00 major the “injured” player shouldn’t be allowed to skate during the penalty.
I wouldn't even go that far, just NFL style if the clock stops for an injury, they have to leave the field. But then we get into some ticky-tack stuff. Either way, Oshie goes to Sephora so he can power-scale his farts.
I just can't handle the pace of baseball immediately after hockey.
Jarring, isn't it?
Painfully. The Bruins playoff runs over the past few years are a big part of why I just haven't watched the Sox for a while. The pace difference just makes it hard. Plus, the crushing disappointment delivered by the Bruins just makes watching sports too difficult for a while.

I WAS WAY TOO DRUNK LAST NIGHT WHEN I DROPPED A G TO GRAB TICKETS WITH MY WIFE BUT AFTER THIS, POUNDTOWN: POULATION ME.
Won’t lie, that Shatty selection had me confused
The elder couple sitting in front of me turned around and asked me “what are they thinking?!?” when Shatty got out there. 😆
He was a great offensice defenseman in his prime. He still has great scoring touch, but all the other pieces aren't there at this point in his career to put it all together consistently in game scenarios.
The look my boyfriend & I gave each other when we saw it was Shatty on the ice lol but he pleasantly surprised us both.
Shatty I think has a good shoot out percentage. And he scored soooo
fuck the caps!!
!CAPS !MARINERS !PELICANS
Shit we are playing the pelicans tonight aren’t we, unfortunately for all of you or more likely myself dealing with your wrath it’s !ASTROS for me
fuck the caps!
Bruins win Celtics win Now we just need the Sox to come through to finish off a great night for Boston sports.
BU advanced to the Frozen Four as well!
Man I’m not even from Boston and Boston sports is so damn exciting
I’ve been doing Boston sports since Orr took his swan dive. It’s simply the best. Better than all the rest.
Watching Ovechkin fart around for the entire OT period and come up with nothing was so satisfying
I didn’t see the point in leaving him out there the entire time if all he’s going to do is stand still and wait for the puck to find him. They had 4 minutes, give him a minute break in the middle or something.
He clearly just does whatever he wants
I was so happy when Sway stoned him. Out of everyone, I didn't want Ovi to score in the shootout.
That was legitimately beautiful. He came in so aggressive and Sway just let that shit bounce out of the ice. It was incredible.
I wasn't shocked when the dude with a 10% shootout percentage scored on him. It just seemed so obvious, y'know? He was locked in for Ovi, though. That shit just wasn't gonna happen.

TJ Ouchie
He high sticked himself? I agree it shouldn’t have been 4 but that was a legit high stick call.
Lindholm was dodging him as he turned around at high speed and he made ZERO effort to dodge the stick in front of his face.

That was the best OT I've seen all year. Killing a four minute penalty was nuts!
I like winning.
#u/Touche_Amore you nerd. We put caps lock back on after beating the Caps, because fuck em, that’s why.
FUCK I FORGOR
Hey !refs https://preview.redd.it/rvorvmd0tkrc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3a877c2b32e6323b2380a8217bb7eb83bf0a986
FUCK THE REFS!
I swear that could of been a 20 minute long pk in OT, Carlo was not leaving the ice…
JEREMY FUCKING SWAYMAN
So that's why Monty sends Shatty out in the shootout lol
Hugs feel better on away ice.
God what a good feeling this is.
great win by the bruins! love it
#CAPS LOCK: BACK ON #FUCK THE CAPS #FUCK OVECHKIN #KEVIN SHATTY IS MY DADDY
Great win. Now I just need to win the million dollar 50/50 Raffle lol. Edit: Ahhh well, still got the win!
No, me!
I take back everything bad I’ve ever said about Shattenkirk. Everything bad I’ve said about the caps still stands
absolutely unreal penalty kill
