LQR Game 52: Giving them a reason to boo :Capitals @ Bruins

I guess no one’s showing up tonight lowquality fans of a high quality Bruins team that is not a dub deep breath like a deep breath let it in let it out that sucked holy crap I what the what was that what was that I know we we talked about the Calgary game on

Monday was that whatever day it was earlier in the week talked about the Calgary game and it was bad it was bad it wasn’t the this bad this was a whole another level of bad we talked about the Calgary game and how the booing didn’t make sense to me some

People didn’t like that take some people did whatever each their own I didn’t agree with the booing sorry I’m still processing this hours later because I had a work thing I had to go to and I’m still kind of processing it the booing in the Calgary game didn’t

Make sense to me because the team has been so good this year and it was a lackluster effort but I didn’t think it was for a lack of trying right like it just things didn’t go well I thought the second half of the game they got more

Engaged got more physical yada y yada it didn’t make a ton of sense to boo the team because they lost they lost it was a bad game Bad Games happen and then we kicked the absolute crap out of the Vancouver Canucks just smoke them and then we have this which

Is the worst game of hockey I have watched the Boston Bruins play in this season or last we say things like worst game of the year way too often that was just from the fundamentals of the skaters the worst game of the year and the worst game of last year right I say

The skaters because swayan was awesome he was great okay Austin might be a little much but still he was very very good he was the only reason the Bruins even had a chance in this one but the skaters in front of him were abysmal it was awful

And no one I I feel like I could stand in the middle of that locker room right now and say that and I don’t think anybody in the room would be like what the hell do you know I think every single one of those guys like yes we

Were not good enough tonight and just not I watched that game and I can think of off the top of my head two shifts for the entire game that were like okay that’s a that’s a good shift that’s a good shift two good shifts two that’s a there’s a lot of shifts in

A hockey game horrible the whole thing was horrible I don’t even know what to talk about either because when you look at this you go through the notes of the game here nothing happened the first period nothing nothing we few minutes in we’re getting outshot nothing’s happening until Grizz

Spears Patcher ready in the nuts like that’s the only thing that happened a couple of saves from San I mean what do you want me to say about it there’s nothing to talk about with this game nothing happened except for the fact that we didn’t [ __ ] do

Anything not to get all upset I might do I believe this team is spiraling or anything we had two really bad games out of three right after the All-Star break that’s not a great Trend but also certainly not the end of the world haven’t looked good in two of

Those games this was just unbelievably bad unbelievably bad this capitals team is is another part of it is their bad right this is our first meeting of the year with them they 361 in the last 10 they have a terrible power play bottom five in the league uh they are bottom

Three in the league and actually goal scored per game the Steep decline of oie has certainly helped with that who currently was or before this game had 11 goals through 40 something games played 46 I think and then of course he gets the empty Netter for him and that breaks

The record for most empty net goals in a career whoop D do I mean the O chaseing Gretzky thing is special the empty net record I I don’t think that does anything for anyone really although I will say imagine if through ob’s career the capitals were a better team I’m not

Saying they weren’t good but like if you think about the teams that Crosby has been on because we’re always going to compare those two the amount of empty net opportunities that Crosby has had compared to Obie I just feel like that’s got to be a a pretty different

Number right right I don’t know anyway they are 16th in goals allowed per game which largely comes from lingren who was on my bench in fantasy today anyway uh who’s been great this year 912 save percentage The League average has started to come up a little

Bit it’s around a 904 at this point but a 912 is very good the problem is keer is drowning when he plays Ker’s played 26 games and he has an 894 save percentage he has been so bad but Charlie lindgren’s been really good he’s going to get the start against us for us

The lines remain the same except Steen is going to get dropped out for Anthony Rashard coming up from the AHL he’s 27 years old just a tenacious body bruising forward who has a lot of speed to work with 38 points in 41 games down in the

AHL just been really good 19 goals 19 assists really even right there uh Monty said he’s excited about his speed that’s what he wanted to see so we’ll see if he sticks around for a little while the call it makes sense because you’re not going to put lisel uh on the fourth line

Certainly shouldn’t and same thing goes for merula so I think he’s just calling up a guy that he thought would better suit a a bottom six role um it didn’t do anything for the team at all I me you want to talk about the puck drops puck

Drops sorry to say it sarcastically but what do we do it what are we talking about I I going to keep saying that through this whole video seriously this is just a rambling I don’t even know what I’m trying to what point I’m trying to make here the the game starts were

Completely overmatched right away I mean seriously it takes us 11 and a half minutes for a first shot on net there was 8 minutes and 35 seconds left when Anthony Rashard got our first shot on net at that point I’m pretty sure they were already up to eight or

Nine shots and seven additional shots had already been blocked by us that’s not good 147 left of the period Grizz Spears pater ready in the balls right in the balls got him right in the balls the balls gets him right there look I know it’s pretty obvious to me

That this was not intentional he was trying to lift the stick get inside position on him and missed and missed in the worst possible way but the rules are pretty clear if you spear a guy in the nut nuts typically that’s a major penalty and I wasn’t even that mad about

The call I was like okay you know what if that happened to one of our guys I would probably want pretty severe action taken too so pater ready who had to leave the ice because he was clutching the jewels yeah they called him major because he blatantly speared him in the

Balls on accident but he still did it like you still got to be in control it sucks is what it is Grizz is having not a great season you have to kill off the five minute p uh pedal Le yes you’ve had a bad first and this is a disadvantageous situation for an

Accidental play but the Call’s the call it’s not a terrible call kill it and you know what through the first couple of minutes you do a great job the period’s going to end z0 they have outshot us 15 to four at this point and we’re going to

Go into the second and we still have 313 left on the penalty kill and we are aren’t able to kill the whole thing with about 2 minutes left of the penalty kill caps moving the puck around Carlos stick gets broken by blocking a shot he lies down when pater ready comes around

Behind the net he lies down to try to like block the pass I don’t really understand this play I’d rather him stay on his feet and keep moving either way easy pass up to Oshi who is in the middle of the slot and just gets to bury

This High glove cuz there’s no pressure on him at all and if Carlo had stayed on his feet maybe he wouldn’t be able to block the pass but I feel like he could have put a glove through oshi’s chest or something I don’t really get that either

Way it’s one zero on a power play goal we kill the rest of the penalty 619 into the period Oshi is going to go for slashy we’re going to the power play the power play is terrible that period ends and the shots are now 23 to8 we averaged four shots a period for

Two periods they were only down a goal they have 23 shots on net and San has held them to one goal just steal the third period which it doesn’t even look like you need to be a world beater just be decent in the third period I don’t

Want to take anything away from the capitals but it’s not like they just kept forcing us into mistakes no tape to tape no one’s communicating they’re missing each other left and right the team was bad when one period for swayan for Christ’s sake instead what we get is

3:30 into the third period we’re in the offensive zone and Oshi just walks right up to Coyle and rips the puck away from him like that’s not who Cole is that’s just not who Coyle is it turns into a two-on-one as he feeds a puck up to oie

Uh makoy had pinched on this play that’s why he’s not back and W spoon’s just doing his best he tries to get a piece of the pass isn’t able to do so and stro is able to bury this perfectly top blocker very nice finish by him and is

2-0 and your your 4 minutes not even four minutes into the third period you’re looking around going really you just I mean we can’t show anything here no fight back nothing and we didn’t get it we didn’t get it and the ref’s tried to save us

Not to say none of these these calls weren’t deserved I just thought a couple of them were a little on the softer side but 1130 left patch ready for tripping power play awful power play 725 left Carlson for tripping best chance on that power play was a short-handed Breakaway by

McMichael who sing as a stone on a five hole bid they never they never got it they never got it together in this game there was a shift late in the game where you’re like oh they’re put no nothing three minutes left Obie’s going to go for hooking Power Play Nothing one

Chance from inite and then with 28 seconds left OB is going to get the empty net it’s three- Z the game notes are nothing you can’t I you can’t take anything for this and it sucks that you have two games in a six day 5ay whatever span that you can’t

Take anything from because that’s a sign of a team that’s really struggling if we have another one of these kind of performances I’ll get real concerned I think it’s a I think it’s a tough couple of showings the team’s been so good this year they’ve been so good

It’s so hard for me just to be like ah we’re slumping and we’re terrible and maybe we’re about to hit a little slump it happens but this was the worst effort I’ve watched in so long so long it is also the first time we’ve been shut out this

Season so you know it happens these games happen just sucks when they happen so close together with another one this team’s still good I’m not that concerned that sucked go be go be once again guys thank you so much for watching but it is
