Not true, Boston was outscored 10-0 over 4 periods in G3\4. NYR worse stretch was
6-1, had a 2-1 series lead and took Florida to OT. Just no way you can say this.
Only good thing about Florida winning is us getting Draisaitl.
Detroit has Seider and Ottawa has Stutzle, both his fellow countrymen. Going to be lots of teams including his own going after him.
Not with #37 having a slipped disk. Bruins couldn't beat Florida with Mahura, Staal
Lyon and Fitzfera!D playing never mind Vegas.

Actually you can, by everyone's account the Rangers were soundly outplayed in all but one game, only their goalie kept the scores close. The Bruins were full marks for their 2 wins and if not for some horrific officiating were in position to win game 4. Furthermore the Boston-Florida series was the most physical series of the entire playoffs. Just because the Bruins were blown out in 2 games dosen't negate the fact that the Bruins were an overall tougher out then the Rangers.

Last two years in the playoffs against the Panthers
Vegas is 4 and 1
Boston is 5 and 8
The rest of the league is 4 and 19
Bruins were badly outplayed by Florida with the exception of G1. Even G5 Boston relied on Swayman to win the game. You can't ignore the 10-0 in G2\3, that was hideous and worse than anything NY showed negatively.
Everything but dirtiness, head snapping, and fake toughness. But in terms of their speed, physicality, and relentlessness, yup. Our big bad Bruins teams were never this fast and this unrelenting or we would have had 3 Cups, at least.Wouldn't surprise me if the kid's parents are behind it, they are just building his brand, and one day he'll be a social media " influencer."
I actually dig the Panthers. If that exact team played in Boston, they'd be among the most popular Bruins squads ever. I'll duck and run!

Wayne Gretzky was an awesome player of course, but he's about as charming as a bag full of dog shit left on your front doorstep.
You can argue Orr / Gretzky on the ice all you want and make points pro con for both. But off the ice? One appears completely humble and approachable. The other one? Not so much.
Also Boston was life and death with a degraded Leafs team, needing Swayman to bail them out again. NYR swept their first round opponent and beat Carolina, who was absolutely better than a degraded Toronto into in 6. Rangers ended up 10-6 in the PO
while Boston ended up 6-7. The facts clearly don't back you up.
They weren’t dirty. They were big, tough, physical, mean, could hit and could, and would, fight, all of which is firmly within the rules. They also didn’t dive, snap their heads back or turtle. There’s a difference between being a big, tough, physical hockey player and being a dirty little puke. That said, yes, be more like the Panthers going-forward, please, minus the pukey part.

The 2011 Bruins weren't dirty?
Not all of them, but Milan Lucic was a dirty hockey player. He would crosscheck you in the face, spear you in the nads, or punch you when you weren't looking, and not think twice about it. And I loved it about him.
Brad Marchand's submarining of Sedin in the finals was filthy, the only redeeming thing about it was he came up with the gloves off. His cheap shot on Ballard just before that is only forgotten because of the move on Sedin. And the infamous punches to the face of a guy who had all the physicality of a wet noodle was a rat move if I ever saw one.
Hell, their 4th line beat the ever living shit out of a line on the Habs, and they didn't care that the line probably had 2 total career fights between the 5 of them.
That team was dirty, they were bullies, they ran roughshod over their opponents, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Marchand was dirty. Lucic was big, mean, nasty and tough. I don't remember him trying to take people's heads off. Put them through the glass, sure. There's a difference between toughness and dirtiness.

Here's a greasy crosscheck to Lappy's head, knocking off his helmet.
Here's a wicked sucker punch on Victor Hedman (a pretty stand up guy).
I agree with you regarding the Boston-TO series. As for the NYR-Carolina series the Canes were actually the better team, unfortunately for them the Rangers goaltending was easily superior. I am only commenting on how the Bruins fared against the Panthers as opposed to the NYR. Everyone raves about how well Swayman played, well Shersterkin was every bit as good.

I can't say I'm surprised. Krug has never lived up to the Blues' expectations.
Didn't deserve more. First one is a nut-tap to a hab. Yawn. Second one is "age-restrictied" and requires me to login to youtube. Don't care enough to do so. Third was a bump. Meh.
Anyway, when you're big, mean nasty and tough sometimes you cross the line. But being dirty little pukes wasn't their default. Being big, mean, nasty and tough was. Being dirty little pukes who won't back-up their actions is Florida's default. There's a difference.
Boston Bruins - 2024-2025 Roster & Salary Cap Discussion IV
I just don't get where this Lohrei talk comes from. I seriously doubt that Sweeney is even considering trading him. Have I missed something where Lohrei is talked about as potentially involved in legitimate trade talks???? Just speculation, it's a long summer.
Our own NeelyNugs talked to a couple of people in the Panthers organization ( players? execs? ) who said the Bruins were their toughest to date.
