LQR Game 37: Eternal Confusion :Penguins @ Bruins

I’d say good game but I don’t know what to call what just happened yeah no kidding glad we got the two points though those are hard to come by this season yeah but you guys are right there what are you guys going to do if you fall short though man I don’t really

Know if we drop off by the trade deadline then we’ll probably sell some pieces but I don’t really see that ooh like Crosby no not Crosby it’s too bad cuz I would give almost anything for a couple seasons of Crosby pasta oh yeah you no I changed my mind I’ll give you

Crosby oh yeah for who nothing future considerations wait what what’s the catch no big deal you just got to say that Sydney Crosby is better than Bobby or easy Crosby was better than or show me your hands nuh-uh no crossed fingers you got

To say it can I say it later uh say 21 days from now you think I don’t know when National opposite day is come on okay fine but let’s pick like a random date say 88 days from now April Fool’s Day damn it too bad oh come on no one’s

Going to take that deal what’s up boys hey man I’ll give you Crosby for free if you say that Crosby is better than sandine really okay Crosby is better than suine let me see your hands seriously no tricks you just said it like that man I’m desperate I’d do

Basically anything for a cup at this point sure but what about your pride my what lowquality fans of a high quality BRS team that is not a dub not right I clearly somehow disrespect Ed this jersey last episode when I called it out that’s on me and I

Apologize that’s my bad I’m not sure exactly what I did but I did something the the bear is upset look at the fing eyes look at his eyes he’s pissed that sucked that was great but it sucked but it was great what a fun game what a ten you can’t teach that tenacity

It was it was a fun game if you enjoy good hockey strong Championship caliber hockey you didn’t enjoy this game no way no way no way but if you enjoy some chaos every now and again which you probably do if you watch the NHL that

Was a fun game let’s not forget we just won four games in a row and that how much of this game can you actually learn from honestly have for those of you who have played Sports sometimes you have games like this where [ __ ] just goes wrong all over

The place and it goes wrong for the other team and both you guys are looking at each other from across the ice the court the field whatever going good luck I guess I don’t know what’s going to happen next if you do theater or singing or something in the

Arts I don’t know Mike goes out you forget a line your co-star forgets a line some got naked on accident wardrobe malfunctions man they happen things go wrong and you adapt and then after everything’s done you go that performance was not our best and you move on because there’s not a lot to

Learn from it I that was one of my game notes I don’t know why I’m just doing that now I have no structure one of these days I’m going get good at all this no I think I’m I’m probably not but this game was fun

It didn’t teach us a lot but it pointed a few things out about a few people that I hope Monty paid attention to Monty is killing me right now but I got to trust the guy but I’m going to keep talking about how much he’s killing me but before that like comment subscribe

Share H we’re almost up to 4,000 that’s pretty cool Discord is below check that out the memberships the lowquality members love you guys and I appreciate you guys Twitter all those links are below and also I’ve been getting more and more messages from people lately

Never shy away from it I’m a slow reper and during the games I might not reply at all until way later but if you just need someone to chat some hockey with or whatever hey man I’ll get back to you for sure just takes me some time sometimes let’s talk about this stupid

Penguins team stupid stupid team they’re they’re dumb they’re stupid 72 and one in their last 10 now maybe better I don’t know they have the 26 rank power play which is an improvement over the last few weeks which is crazy to say out loud they have the 10th ranked penalty kill 20th ranked

Offense sixth ranked defense and well they’re outside of a playoff spot barely actually after tonight they literally might be in a wild card spot they’re seventh in their division but only by a couple of points that whole Metro is a mess right now they’re not great but

Their defense is a good surprise for them offense feels like it’s very fixable with the amount of talent they have on that team they’re very topheavy but they seem like they’re good enough to make some noise jari is a feaster famine goenda five goals but don’t worry we’re

Going to get NED instead who’s 632 63 and two with a 242 goals allow average and a 924 save percentage he’s been really good for them the delovic if you were wondering who Ned was NAD delovic I still don’t understand why everyone keeps playing their backups against us

But I mean it’s not like we’re unbeatable so whatever for us the lines I think they stayed pretty standard outside of one major change that you could say caused some of these issues but we’re going zaka geeky Pasto Martian Co de brusk jvr Freddy Heinen beer merkulov Steen Grizz McAvoy lindom Carlo

Lorai shaton Kirk before I forget yes in the last video I forgot jvr after singing his Praises I forgot jvr in my off the top of the head merkulov and ptra in the lineup lines I apologize for that many of you pointed it out you are all correct I apologize these lines

Merkulov is still in a position that doesn’t benefit him or the team full stop fact don’t argue about it don’t that is a fact don’t you dare defensively Grizz who’s been struggling lately I been a Grizz Defender for years he’s been I don’t know if I can say any of

Those words he hasn’t been good this year and you moved him back up to the top pair with makavo which was interesting because I thought lorai and Mac were starting to lock something in but why not just [ __ ] with it Griz McAvoy lindom Carlo lorai shaton Kirk

Okay beer returns to the lineup which was fine I guess I think he took most of the faceoffs for the fourth line because merul love so bad why would you have him on the fourth line or the center POS I but let’s talk about this game shall

We puck drops and we’re going to Rattle aesome stuff real quick 41 seconds in we what lucky fans we are Bruins fans just immediately with the jolt of energy and pride confidence 41 seconds in this is going to be the same goal for times I’m just telling you right now Marian

Gets the puck he gets the puck low just chips it in he gets there wins a battle to allow coil to send the puck back up to the point they’re going to hammer it from the point back down to the net it is maybe not even going to get to Ned

But it’s going to bounce away to the right of NAD delovic and marshan battling in front of the net is able to tap it in for a rebound I got through that kind of quick Chucky was part of that goal great it was low to high slap

It on net Maran battled to be able to punch it in it’s one0 41 seconds in 504 in the pens do the same thing they win a puck battle they send the down low they send the puck up high in the zone they shoot it on net San makes the first save

Grizz is like two feet away from OK Conor just waving his stick at him uh and OK Conor gets to bump in the rebound look I would complain about uh Patterson too who did the same thing to Marian on Marian’s first goal if I was a

Pence fan thank God I’m not gross 113 later it’s basically been 4 minutes the pens just kicking our team Ethan all over us it was so fun to watch but they’re going to do the same exact thing they’re going to win a battle beneath our net crossby is going to send the

Puug up to Graves at the top of the slot and he’s going to try to get it in on net low to create a scoring chance this time though it bounces off a Defender skate and trickles by San’s right side and it’s 2-1 just like that neither of

These goals are Swan’s fault exactly his rebound control wasn’t super d ER and his tracking on that second one isn’t exactly what you’d want but also there are very reasonable goals to let in the common theme about basically every goal scored against San tonight is that’s not really his fault and he did

Make some big saves trust me not a great game for the guy just in general look at the box score you can tell me that but also there’s a lot of bouncing pucks off of him he didn’t have as much control as he usually has I don’t know why I’m

Getting to this point right now it’s 2-1 it’s two one and then 22 seconds later the Bruins finally get back into the zone and we get the puck down in the left corner and then geeky flings it up to Lind home at the left Point who sends

It to Passa just standing alone in front of Ned just slightly off to the right and Ned goes for him and he just goes right around him and dunks it little different but still low to high to the net four goals in a row all scored the

Same way it is 22 two and then less than a minute later Letang in his own Zone this pissed me off there’s there’s defensive lapses where you allow both teams allow four goals in the first 10 minutes of a game and you go wow crazy and then there’s this latain from

His own Zone Chucks the puck diagonally all the way down to hours off the right corner bouncing back into the right Circle and Crosby is there first by a mile by a mile and so he grabs it and he turns and Carlo gets there and he’s

Standing in the slot in front of San being like all right let me like protect this area of the ice he’s going to have to go short side or pass it through me you trust your goalie to have short side you’re set up to stop a pass he doesn’t

Stop the pass that goes right by him to gensel who has LOL on his back cuz after all of that lindol still behind the play what the [ __ ] like what is that drives me nuts it drives me nuts when you are if you are a Defender there

Are fast breaks and things like that you can’t be the fourth guy back on a dump in from the opposing Zone what are we doing anyway gel gets a tap in and it’s 3-2 and we Midway through the first but everyone has the same feeling well it’s

Not like we can’t score on them it’s fine we’ll come back and I totally believes we come back the Pens have not been good at holding leads 752 in Steen High stick by Joseph we’re going to the power play during the power play you’re going to be impressed by this OK Conor

Gets a breakaway saved by Swan then OK Conor is part of a two on0 yeah saved by San again and then we finally get set up and have a couple Chan es no luck pasta stayed out for the entire power play it’s very normal so did geeky I’m not going to make assumptions

Like I’m sure geeky didn’t flip Monty the bird and just went n I’m staying out because he wouldn’t have had many shifts the rest of the game I’m betting but also I’m real doubtful that Monty was cool with geeky staying out for the full two minutes on a power play Early in a

Game doesn’t make a lot of sense to me there I don’t know why that bothered me as much as it did but boy did that bother me and geeki was arguably through the first half of this game our worst forward he was all over the place and it

Was bad it was bad it got better though 402 left it’s way too easy it’s way too easy this is a keep in by Joseph on the left Point by the pens and then it’s to Carlson on the right to OK Conor in the middle and that’s over to Eller on the

Right Circle who has wide open space to one time it in the net my issue isn’t that Eller is alone over in the right Circle because lorai is more towards the slot doesn’t get there on time my problem is the pass from Joseph to Carlson is wide open that’s a wide open

Lane well that’s D to D lowall what’s the issue really none there but then Carlson to oconor who’s standing in the middle of the slot alone high in the slot sure that that Lane’s wide open and then the pass to Eller on the right Circle that Lan’s wide open there was

Never a moment where they had to pretend there was defense because really all they did was get Swan moving with a couple quick passes and then had to make him Force his way over to The Far Side to try to make a glove save the defense didn’t help at all

That’s one of those things where the defense is there but they’re not in a position where it actually affects the offense at all it’s 4-2 we’re going into the second no one feels great about it but same feeling come on we’ve got this it’s the Penguins they suck at holding

Leads then 436 into the second Carlos is going to go for crosschecking because a penguin’s player fell down I know it’s biased but that legitimately he did just lose a skate that’s fine and as the power play expires so basically a power play goal for them the pens are set up

They’re moving the puck around and it goes to the right point and leang it’s it’s it’s low to high and back down to low just hammers this on net and the save is made and Carter flips the puck right past San on the rebound and there’s Grizz just a couple feet away

What what is that defense I know you’re on the penalty kill I know you’re not gonna like no reaction to the shot I’m losing it I’m losing it I defended Grizz for so long but I’m not going to defend a guy who’s not playing well like I’m

Not I when I tell say a player’s playing well or I’m excited about a guy I’m genuinely excited or I’m telling the truth I’m not doing some agenda Griz has been bad it’s 52 it’s 5-2 not a power play goal but it might as well have been

I believed and so did you I know you did I know you believed come on it’s the tens we can do this and then 109 left we finally get a shot attempt that’s right the first shot attempt not shot on goal attempt this period is with 10 minutes

And 9 seconds left in the period That’s not going to win you many games but it’s a transition we get into the Zone paa on the left wall he takes the Blue Line Slams on the brakes and he sees geeki diagonal in the right Circle perfect

Pass tape to tape and geky beats Ned far posting in and that’s 53 great shot by geeki 639 left it looks like a great play by Marian to set up coil for a back door tap in but Letang hooks him in the hands to prevent it and then complains about the call like

Somehow that wasn’t I mean that that directly stopped a goal I I don’t know we’re going to the power play it’s not good it’s not a good power play but it’s not as bad as the last one I guess and then 35.8 seconds left this was nothing

Man we entered the Zone de brus passes it back to Carlo and Carlo unleashes a nuclear weapon low glove oned just beats him clean too I think there’s a moving screen that caused this but still 54 just like that we’re going to third down a goal you know we’re tying this game up

And then 140 in makoy clears the puck over the glass from going on the penalty kill not exactly the way you want to start but then the shorty King our captain Brad marshand the Rat King it’s a battle W by Coyle in our defensive Zone to even spring this he takes a

Neutral zone he passes off to Marian and Marian goes right at Laten goes right through his legs bullies around him and then goes High glove High Blocker on Ned from the right side and it’s 55 short-handed goal and absolute Beauty I knew we were winning this game

In that moment I knew we were winning this game when we got to 53 I was wrong but I knew knew we were winning this game then 848 left a deflected pass in the neutral zone some of you are upset about this and I’m not going to you’re

Not going to like my take on it a deflected pass to the neutral zone creates a play the other way and it’s basically a two-on-one as it develops and makoy wraps up Carter as he receives the pass to shoot on San which would basically be a breakaway at that point

Cuz he’s catching up to Carter wraps him up they call him Carter takes Mao stick and Chucks it after the whistle and there’s no call on that I could see why you’d want to call there that I mean certainly yeah you deserve to have a call there that’s unsportsmanlike at bare minimum but

There was no call there and we’re going to go on the penalty kill and they’re going to score on this penalty kill they’re going to win the face off they’re going to move the puck up Carlson up at the top slot right back to Crosby in the left Circle and he is

Going to get a very friendly deflection off of Lind holm’s crotch and through San’s five hole in it’s 65 power play Gold your final score let’s move back a little bit the penalty it was a penalty on makoy for wrapping him up I know it wasn’t egregious but that was a penalty that

Play always goes against the defender or typically does and the only reason makavo is in that position is when the puck gets deflected in the neutral zone and goes the other way makavo slowly turns around he doesn’t get on his horse at all he’s just what happened

Okay oh [ __ ] and then starts going so he’s well behind Carter and he’s forced to make a play like that I obviously I’m annoyed they didn’t call the UN Sportsman like on Carter it wasn’t something that should have been a gamebreaker and it never should have even happened never should have even

Happened mavo wasn’t great this game I don’t think you could say any of our Defenders were great this game you really couldn’t but those kind of decisions like I’m not going to oh man we got screwed by the rest no we didn’t no we didn’t there was way too

Much [ __ ] that we did that caused us to lose absolutely not the refs on this one I get why you’d be upset about that call I’m just not with you on it I’m not losing sleeve about that one because it never even should have happened ever

Brutal 65 loss we at very least expected a a crazy overtime right nothing couldn’t get anything going after that and we’re going to go to the game notes and The Game notes are pretty simple first of all Grizz is bad and I don’t know the solution for that right this

Moment I know everyone’s saying trade Grizz just wait a couple months till that might actually happen saying it in January doesn’t really do anything like they’re not going to trade him the first week of January it’s just not going to happen so I don’t really get that I get

The sentiment behind it I don’t get why we’re saying it as often as we are this early in the season uh you’re not taking lessons from this game you’re really not I don’t know why you would it’s a lot of bad bounces it’s a lot of just I didn’t

Have it tonight kind of kind of stuff it’s not a good game it’s kind of a burn the tape game I like that we pushed back but my biggest game note the fourth line was really bad when they were on the ice they were they genuinely were they got

Out chance it was almost a goal against every time like it felt like they were going to score on us every time they were on the ice so I’m not going to sit here and be upset that they only played they played less than seven minutes

Combined I’m not going to be upset about that and it does exhaust our team and I’m frustrated about different aspects of it what I’m upset about is you’ve taken these players and you’ve put merkulov in a position that does not benefit him or the team it does not benefit him

Because he’s a clever offensive player who has a steady defensive side to him you’ve turned him into a fourth line grinder you’ve asked him to do that job one that he is uncomfortable doing clearly he’s terrible in the faceoff dot so what you’re doing is having beer take

The faceoffs and then they switch defensively it’s not a good system at all you’ve taken a square peg shoved it in around hole and said you better be good or I’m benching you and then you bench him because he’s not confident in the role he’s playing because that’s not

The role he’s supposed to be playing if you were going to call him up and just put him on the fourth line why’d you call him up is this better than having a lco Fe your steam line what are you doing did you want to appease the fan

Base who was clamoring for merkulov as a shot in the arm to the offense an offense which granted has been playing better so maybe we didn’t need to do this merkulov thing at all I was begging for merkulov just for a couple games on the third line give them 12 to 14

Minutes with a couple Speedy Wingers let’s see what they can create and they can be sound defensively but instead you went nope MC you’re taking defensive Zone faceoffs which you suck at you are playing a very very safe game you are not to take chances you are not to push

Up ice you have completely clicked the guy’s nuts and asked him to be great and he can’t he can’t in the role you’ve given him and I hate to act like I know better than an NHL coach because you are the Pinnacle of Hockey coaching I can’t

Hold a candle to the knowledge that you have about this game I can’t do it but what in the flying [ __ ] did you think was going to happen with this line it didn’t look good last game it had moments again had moments where MC pushed it you even gave MK 20 seconds

Because geeky took a whole shift a whole power play shift you even gave MC 20 seconds with pasta and zaka and they pinned the pens in for like 40 seconds that math doesn’t make sense for the entirety of time mer was out there and then you didn’t give him another shift

And Merk got one shift in the third and he was done what do we do I don’t understand how this develops anyone this is in a development league then put him in the AHL I have no clue what your plan is and guess what I bet merkulov doesn’t

Either beer is meant to be playing a fourth line role there’s no complaints there and if he’s not playing good scratch him bench him I don’t give a [ __ ] but MC ptra lell or lell whatever you bring him up like what it’s not how their game works I

Just don’t understand I genuinely don’t understand I don’t get what the plan is I don’t get the the minute management for anybody who’s under the age of 25 it feels like you’re not playing any of them to their strengths you’re putting them in your system and saying

No no no no no you do this there are two guys on this team allowed to play outside of my system and that’s poock who arguably already fits that system and it’s Martian because he’s a [ __ ] captain and he’s gonna do what he wants to do

And he’s great at it everyone else plays the system I don’t know I don’t get it I don’t want to be so negative this is ending the video on such a Negative note but I am so confused I am so confused I love this team though Monte just drives

Me nuts sometimes I don’t get It Go bees go be thank you for watching but of course we’ve got to give a shout out to the lowquality YouTube channel members need a real name for that one of these days starting with a Topline tier the atomic lizard Bradley Johnson Aaron Adams coach

24 Comments

  1. 4:00 I wouldn't say we learned nothing from this game. For starters: like, comment, subscribe… Nailed it!

  2. According to the announcers…Monty is thinking of putting Poitras as a winger. Personally, I think having (3) 19 year olds playing with very (and I stress very) little nhl experience is hurting the team. They need to get a couple of “decent” players before the trade deadline. Players with experience and can at least give them some kind of help.

  3. I KEEP GETTING UNSUBBED. This is actually atrocious, every video I have to resubscribe.

    I know that around the 5 minute mark in the third. I believe I saw 6 Black sweaters as forwards and I began panicking. Thinking “wait, did we pull Swayman?” Only for the camera to pan over to the Pens end and back to center ice and only 5 sweaters remained. So. We got away with that I swear.

    Had to turn off the ESPN broadcast (audio) and blasted the Radiocast. Still don’t know the proper name for it…ESPN needs to stick to what it knows, Basketball.

    Of the 7 or 8 games I’ve been home to watch…the Bruins have won 2. I hate it, because I never get to watch them win, only ever L’s. Yet I get to hear it all just the same.

    Also. They loved bringing up (ESPN, via screen pop-ups) stats about ‘the last time this happened’. They also loved showing players for the Pens. I’m sure you all saw that too. Like, please. National broadcaster, show BOTH teams. We know you know nothing of what’s happening…but please.

  4. So question for you, what goal(s) should Sway have saved? Because from what I saw any stop on the goals would have been stealing one. The only ones I can see questioned are the 4th(I think) when a Pitt player had to puck alone at the circle so Sway squared up on him, a D left a player low all alone to snipe from the side. The last goal was a dribbler for sure but like 2 feet in front of Sway the puck hit Lindholm and complete changed directions. I'm curious where you think Sway could have done better(outside of that AWFUL attempt to play the puck)

  5. Poitras coming back Saturday suddenly seems like a blessing. I feel like he actually does a lot for the fourth line. Throw him out there for ten minutes or so, I feel like he’ll do great against Tampa.

  6. Bro you look Pantera, Slayer and Jack Tripper concocted a Bruins player in a lab behind the Regal Beagle. Keep up the great work.

  7. Let’s face it without great goaltending we are an average team. Then we have a clueless coach who has no idea what he’s doing. It was obvious after game 4 of last years playoffs and this season it’s even more obvious. He’s screwing Merk, Poitras and Lysell. He has Geeke on the first line and sometimes even Heinen. We have a useless first pp with stone hands Geeke on it and he refuses to change it up. It an effen pp… put your best 5 guys on there you idiot. Been saying it all year, he puts our young, skilled prospects in positions to fail because he puts plumbers on their line. They make 1 mistake and they get benched meanwhile every other player can screw up and they get more ice time. What a fool.

  8. They should have gotten rid of Gryz during the off season. Lohrei impressed the hell out of everyone at the end of last year in Providence. Your left side was stupidly expensive. You needed a high end possession center (still do) and you just sat on him. And if anything now he's been devalued and you still need to move him.

  9. Hey Charlie M. we can make an hour long video on dumb plays and bad penalties…I know he makes just as many good ones But it doesn't make the bad ones easier to swallow

  10. I am getting fed up with the line blender and the (to you and I) weird ass placements for some of these rookies and the time management for the team. It's so fucking frustrating.

    Anyway close game DESPITE the issues, I hope the next game is better across the board. Yeesh.

  11. Sid is great, genuinely love seeing him kill it at 36. Pens are my second team.

    But he’s not the goat

    This guy low qual is the GOAT

  12. I hate to be that guy and let me preface by saying I feel like Sway has taken the next step each of the last two years but sometimes it feels like he can’t buy a save when the team really needs one. Swiss cheese at the worst moments😂

  13. As someone who was at the game I have to say two things:
    1) Lindholm is tough to watch… what is going on with him he legit looks LOST out there
    2) You influenced my decision to get a centennial Poitras jersey.. surprisingly saw a LOT of them at the game!!
