Man that was an ugly loss, and at home too..
B's better show up Game 4, otherwise I don't see them winning this series if they drop that game too. B's also need to start shooting the puck on net more. Way too much passing and slick moves which Tampa snuffs out, and lets be real, you aren't scoring if you aren't shooting on net that often.
Boston has been playing poorly for a while now, with few flashes here and there of getting back on track. They almost chocked on the first round, and now they're getting bum-rush.
First line is key. When they do well, the team does well. It seems like they have been trying way too much lately. Pasta passes or makes slick moves in moments where he should shoot, and then when he needs to make the extra pass, he just throws a low-quality shot right at the goalie. As for Marchand, I love him, but it feels like all he's been doing the last few games is falling to the ice and just going into the offensive zone and then losing it. Real frustrating.
