Re: 2011 NHL Playoffs III: History Will Be Made
Even though the B's won, they have to be shaking their heads on this one. A game where the PP finally works, they get six past the best 'minder in the playoffs, and they still nearly choke away a three-goal lead.

Do you have to pay jmh royalties every time that happens?
Yeah. Weak goals all around tonight. I just exhaled.

Bench Paille for Seguin and put him on Special Teams, or shuffle him up to the 2nd line for a few shifts. He is on fire and Boston cant afford to sit him right now.
Just a shame for Bruins' fans that Seguin will be back in the press box when Bergeron returns.

Re: 2011 NHL Playoffs III: History Will Be Made
I made a post concerning montreal in game 2 of that series and how boston outplayed them. This is a similar instance where boston was outplayed for stretches and was lucky to come away with a win. All I have to say about Tampas forwards - wow. Boston with even one of those guys would clean up …tampa has 3 such players. That shot by stamkos was unreal. If tampa bay had a defensemen named scott stevens, and a goalie named broduer , they would win the cup this year easily.
Boston desperately needs a way to contain their best forwards. How do you do that? You give them the shot, they get it. You take the pass, they roof it. They don’t even need to look where to pass to one another. Its unreal. If roloson gets tired, and their D remain average, boston can take this. If they give tampa the PP and let their forwards do what they did last night, this is over in 5 or 6.

Video doesn't lie (from the WC's last week):

The guy loves to hit, and is feared. That's the good thing. The bad thing is that he often takes himself out of position with his hits, and some of his hits are dirty.
And Tyler Seguin is good.

One other thing, on honesty. After watching all 3 of the Bruins' series so far, a good portion of the Montreal series was boring...and I don't think that was Boston's fault.

Re: 2011 NHL Playoffs III: History Will Be Made
Montreal is the best defensive team that boston has played so far. Tampa would go far with montreals D and goaltending.
The big question is what happens to Seguin when Bergeron comes back. Boston needs this guy to not only score, but to shut down other top lines, play special teams. He’s good at this and boston’s recent goal struggles in part might be due to different players playing defensive hockey. I bet boston lets up fewer goals once he is back. That said, you can not bench seguin. Problem is Kelly , marchand, and Krejci are playing well too. Are they going to shift him to wing and bench pallie? Pallie had a bad turnover last game , and has looked average.
Just musing. Not really sure how coach would juggle lines. Having a pure goal scorer saved boston this last game, and might save the series. If he keeps this up, look out.

Seems clear as day Paille is the weakest link and most expendable...Claude's head will be on stick if he benches Seguin.

Paille had some great shifts last night. Especially the one where he killed 40 seconds of a PP by himself.

Re: 2011 NHL Playoffs III: History Will Be Made
Right, Its tough justifying benching anyone. The team is playing good 5 on 5 on all lines.. Also think that our other top center is out right now. Imagine the juggling if savard and Bergeron were to come back? Sadly, I see savards career being pretty much over from this point.
Would transitioning from center to wing be a huge adjustment? I would think wing has less responsibility, unless your doing 1-3-1. Theres also different positioning for loose pucks, cycles, forchecks etc. Maybe too much to change a guy up in the playoffs? Just speculating…

Re: 2011 NHL Playoffs III: History Will Be Made
As mentioned, Paille is a member of the PK unit (as is Campbell). Shawn Thornton is not on any special teams. He is most likely the odd man when if/when Bergeron is back.

Re: 2011 NHL Playoffs III: History Will Be Made
Yep, lines I've seen thrown around are:
Lucic Krejci Horton
Marchand Bergeron Recchi
Ryder Kelly Seguin
Paille Campbell Peverley
