feel like it’s a coin flip btwn buffalo & montreal
1. buffalo will be a far more physical series but worse goaltending
2. dobes can shut the door but fast games that play to our strengths 🤨
With Boston falling in overtime to Carolina tonight and only getting a point, #GoBolts will finish no worse than third in the Atlantic division as the Bruins can't catch #TBLightning in the tiebreaker even if they finish tied in points
I wanted to sleep this one off to avoid an overreaction; I woke up just as pissed as I was last night.
1) This injury simply does not happen if that door is latched. The violence results from the door stonewalling his momentum. If that’s a normal board, he rolls right off that hit.
2) Holmberg was having a career year. Already, he’s played more games than in any season prior, and he’s set new career highs in both goals & points. On top of that, the Hounds line has been Jon Cooper’s go-to line, notably shutting down the Avalanche, the Penguins, the Oilers, etc.
Injuries suck; injuries that result from human negligence suck even worse.
This is horrifying—purely horrific.
