Bruins Highlights: Best of Boston’s Gritty, Tough Win Against Toronto

Well that was a fun night at the office welcome to Bruins overtime live presented by bia toyota.com for offers Not Seen On TV visit biat toyota.com Adam Pellerin Billy jaffy Barry Peterson the eror nights the opponents the way they played it was all great tonight Time of the Season just starting to ramp

Up oh trade deadline tomorrow Toronto just made a trade earlier what do the Bruins I mean everything around it screams hockey playoff hockey and the Bruins came through with a playoff style performance and they continue their week of goodness good defensive Zone structure compete level up physical

Presence they give up three goals in regulation in three games two against to Once one against Edmonton I would say now that you win this game bar five of your last six points you feel pretty good yeah you do I think the the team I identity appears to be back of all the

Things that we’ve talked about in the pregame and so forth uh I think it’s a really good statement to Toronto it’s like we owned you guys right this weekend so let’s see what happens and it could be your first round playoff match up we don’t know I thought the Bruins

All the things that you talked about Billy I would also add again the Bruins top six outplay Toronto’s top six big time I would say Bruin’s goal tending was better I would say Bruin’s specialty teams were better that’s two games in a row that you’ve dominated in all those

Factors and they they being Toronto said all the right things after they came on Monday Adam you know upset and this wasn’t right you know need to do this better that better and I don’t they had a few moments of of good in this game

But the Bruins Fray it right back at him response response respon and they weren’t they weren’t waiting the Bruins came out they were excellent physically we’re going to talk about physical play their Captain led the way again it was outstanding a really really good performance now hey you know what you’ve

Given yourself a little Breathing Room between them and nine points as you look at the Atlantic standings now there’s that breathing room and if you’re going to end up playing them you might as well have home ICE yeah and some of that physicality maybe that we saw has to do

With the fact that you might see this team in the playoffs yeah you might and I think the Bruins were really expecting here early on we’re expecting a push back from Toronto Billy I mean because of the way the game went up there and marsham was just starting it’s like okay

I got my old teammates in the house we won you know two 2011 brought the cup home because we were physical well guess what I’m going to show you boys we’re still physical there’s no doubt about it I couldn’t agree with you more Barry great point that they knew that there

Was an image an identity in the house that is wether spoon and bruzi got into it a little later in the game but they knew whether it was zido charara sha Fort Dennis sidenberg I mean going the list is long Johnny boyu you know Andrew

Adam MC all these guys that used to work you know what’s off and play this way you could see especially early in the game as this is later these these highlights here but early in the game Brad Maran Charlie Coyle and you know even de BR but Brad but those guys got

After it on the four check numerous times to really set the tone good stuff yeah we had K Julian and Andrew parents on here in the intermission and before that they were here and I said to coach Julian I said it’s kind of a throw back

Here and he’s like yeah that’s a pretty good thing right it was and I I really remember that one shift you and I were sitting down here in the beginning of the F it was halfway through the third uh first period excuse me Toronto’s down

On this end and they have the puck the hold end but there’s no shots on goal the Bruins had great defensive structure sticks were there bodies were there it was like okay there’s 45 seconds no shots yeah Bruins did a great great job team defense some physicality that went

Over the line that resulted in a pair of penalties for the maple Lees in that first period you have Jake mccab and the interference call initially and the Matt ni should have gotten called for the next one the high I’m sorry should have got called but then they called it on 23

On nice so okay it it I think it works in your favor here Adam because you get a five on three yes if it was five on four you would had four minutes but I think your percentage of scoring is better than a five on three just for two

And I’ll take that one goal this was stupid of McCabe I get it mcavee by the way didn’t play last night Barry he wanted to show he’s tough and he’s a scrappy guy but the second one was foolish Bruins get a play on the side near the end of the power play Beautiful

Pass to brus over to posture knock no chance for Joseph wal no they did a good job moving the puck around and again Billy another improvement with the the fine plays of the specialty teams and the power play all of a sudden especially giving you a little bit of

Breather room it’s like okay you want to take some dumb penalties how do we make a statement you score on the power play do you think mccab will get reviewed you think it’ll be a I think well I know it’ll get looked at I I don’t know I

Probably get a fine he’ll probably get a fine I think it could be a game maybe I don’t I can’t figure out anymore well you don’t think I’m guessing well what we do know is not educated either we’re up one nothing after one period of play and then a

Turnover by William neander leads to a breakaway opportunity for Tren freder my my good dear friend Barry Peterson always talks about don’t screw around with the puck when you’re the last guy up especially within five or six feet of the Blue Line either especially inside the Blue Line because that means you’ve

Exposed the middle of the ice Neil Ander didn’t listen to you friend he didn’t listen to you at all he goes on it’s a stick handling Clinic he’s showing his skills coach he’s showing what what his skills coach did for him here he goes the other way gives up the Fred

Five hole how about Freddy speed to the neutral zone pulling away but you forgot when you went into your little description of what I would have said to him especially if you’re a forward what are you doing out there as a forward you’re causing a bigger problem you’re

Last man back as brick had talked about but I love the speed speat of Freddy through the uh through the neutral zone pulling away and then five hole the shot was phenomenal in my opinion and that’s a big thing too they talked about with Trent Frederick is that his skating has

Improved well we’ve talked about it last couple years about how he’s gotten his knee Bend better bigger guys take longer to get their acceleration because usually they’re more upright and it’s just sometimes it’s literally the difference at them of an inch or two getting the knee bend the proper upright

The upper body positioning sometimes you bring yourself too forward that actually slows you down upright a little more but the knee Bend better he’s been doing that the last few years he’s worked with a couple of different guys he’s looked real good but his shot has improved

Significantly I do have noticed your SK your skating in the old League you’re starting to bend over too much no no no I don’t bend over I just fall over I just fall the hip 17th of the year for what are you doing 17th of the year for Frederick matches a career-high career

High offensively all around for Frederick meanwhile uh Bruins get a power play opportunity four on four goes to four on three after John Tavarez High stick on Mason lowai Morgan geeky responds yeah they did and again this was a situation where you’re trying to make a little bit of a statement this is

Billy as we talked about in the past here where the broos have had troubles with leads is because you haven’t stretched it here’s an important part of the hockey game it’s a 2-1 game you’re dominating you have a power play opportunity now all of a sudden you

Score a power play goal you got a two goal you got all the momentum going your way oaka puts it toward the net nice play passed by Shad Kirk to geeky and geeky absolutely roof you know this is also a real kick in the coonies for the

Maple you know why partner it’s second unit with 15 seconds left or so out there after the first unit was out there for a while then all of a sudden sh say wait wait okay I’m going to control that nice little touch pass or shot in the

Middle from uh zacha and then it’s a gorgeous pass from shaton Kirk who opens up but if shaton Kirk doesn’t sift down here Barry and he and he waits along the wall the puck is never going to come it comes right to him everybody’s looking at him nobody is looking over at Morgan

Geeky who puts it in this guy just keeps on scoring it’s I mean he’s going to hit 20 yeah 15 goals now he had nine last year with Seattle that was a career-high and then you talk about adding on well the Bruins add another about a minute

Later and it’s Brandon Carlo two double to curls up here speak Billy two curls coming up first debrusk and then Marian this is called creating space time and space watch you’re going to create your own here he comes here’s debrusk he’s going to pick up he’s going to go away

From the net and he’s going to draw one two guys with them then Martian does the exact same thing very that amount of ice that he creates to open ice up for Carlo who’s just getting it and then putting it towards the net I didn’t get the the

Lead player that was there was two players in front of the net creates just enough of a screen that the golender well can’t follow it yeah what a great job by Coyle who’s that screen guy he’s the guy that comes out from behind the goal line Billy it goes right in front

Of the net now all of a sudden you got traffic in front shot on goal Carlos scoring his first goal since January 20th against the Canadians which was also an aite that was the new blood New Beginnings tonight was Return of a champion and speaking of Champions

Subaru star of the game here’s Brad Maran two assists tonight assisted on the Carlo goal assisted on the ponut goal now with the most uh multi- assist games list right here 100 for Brad Maran Subaru star of the game and standing by with Andrew rayra right that’s a great three games

Of hockey especially defensively from you guys but all three performances really good and and the two against Toronto division games tonight was awesome yeah it it really was you know we the last three games we really dialed it in uh had a lot of emotion um you

Know I know we dropped the ball there at the Edmonton game but a lot of adversity we got in really late and and uh back to back that’s a that’s a hell of a team so uh we had a great week so far um but you

Know that’s the way we need to play every night to have success moving forward and you know when you start to get that momentum and you see um you know the type of way you can win um you know it’s awesome to see from the guys

And it’s great to get rewarded but uh park it now and move on to the next one it’s been a special season around here uh and and of course you being Captain must make it so much more special for yourself uh Aon nights have been awesome
