chara needs to be back on the point for the pp. put lucic in front. chara had two good chances in 4 minute pp in the first period last game but couldnt finish and the rebounds skittered away from him. he doesnt have the hands to clean up the bouncing pucks or rebounds in front. yes he is a big screen but he got cleared out and up ended a few times, his center of gravity is too high to be stationary in front like that. the nucks were getting under him and kept his stick and skates off the ice too easily. plus they need that big bomb from the point, kaberle aint gonna cut it and seidenberg seems more willing to pass than shoot up there.

I find it funny hearing Bruin fan complain about another team diving. Have you watched Bruins n the playoffs the flop with the best of them. Case in point Tim Thomas of canucks 5-on-3 in game 1. Diving is not mutually exclusive to either team. It really just shows how gullible these officials are in this league.

wrong big body. doesn’t have the hands and his much more dangerous from the point. Lucic would be better has better hands. Just get Bodies there that can capitalize on rebounds. Hell, it could be old man Recchi. Just need the will to be there and make Luongo’s life difficult.

So, basically the Bruins are saying that they showed up for game one and thought they’d ‘see how it went’, and THEN put a game plan in place for game 2?

This ‘new’ game 2 strategy has ALWAYS been the best way to beat Luongo. Would’ve been nice to kick off game one with that realization. What’s a coaches job again?

When you lose the series 4-3, remember that you used game 1 for practice. Not smart.

Even though both teams power plays went 0-6, I don’t think that will last too long. Van was doing alot of Academy-worthy diving, as well as plenty of post-whistle thuggery to try draw retaliation calls. Fortunately, it didn’t work. At least 2-3 calls against B’s were questionable at best, and there were several non-calls, most notably regarding Burrows apparent oral fixation, and a possible off-sides that led to the game-winning goal. To the zebras, I say, put away the whistles, or call everything. The porential is there for them to unduly influence the outcome of the game (series), and that would have Lord Stanley rolling in his grave. THAT would be a travesty.

Watch some Blackhawks film and you can figure it out. Get a big body in front of him and keep that big body there!

While Luongo did look unbeatable, he did cough up a few really bad rebounds/blocks (so did Timmah!), but I think that if the Bruins cash in on one bad bounce, they will be in Luongo’s head and he becomes very beatable.
