Series Talk: 2023 ECQF - BOSTON BRUINS (A1) vs Florida Panthers (WC2)

[LouJersey]

who cares. who will step up and confront him, dont want to be the nail to this hammer.

edit Matthew I meant

Nobody on the Bruins is afraid of Matthew Tkachuk.

I like the blue ones better but these are cool too.

I have noticed that the games are faster since they adopted the pitch clock.

There you go. Me purchasing a Marchand, Hall, McAvoy, and, after ten years falling apart, a new Bergeron t shirt @ the Pro Shop.

$45 a piece.

There's a sucker born every minute, and a third (or fourth, or fifth, or...) quicker still.

They got us right where they want us.

Id like to see Freddy tune him up and Foligno the same to Gudas

 

[GordonHowe]

I absolutely love this. “Raise the spoked B!!!”

f*** them.

Winners don't need to play mind games.

If it take Keith Tkachuk to call your players out for them to play better you shouldn't have a f***ing job

I get it, but winners frequently play mind games.

Messier famously said, correctly, that to win, one must "impose your will" on the other club.

Part of that is mind games, bulletin board material, etc.

"Any Major Dude Will Tell You,"

BUT it's the best matchup, imo. The Bruins will have to play close checking to win against Florida. Perfect start for the long run. If they play run and gun, they're letting Florida into the arena. If they play defense first, defensemen be defensemen, live off of the rush and forecheck, and then wait, wait for Florida to make mistakes and pounce, then I think it's game over for the Panther folks.

Proceed with caution.

Beatable, not what they were, but let's not be cavalier.

 

[Bread and Circuses]

the person that voted for a Panthers sweep is the same person in front of you in line that says "if it doesn't scan it's free right?"

Holy Baader–Meinhof phenomenon Batman!!!!

Dude this literally happened to me today at the garden center, lady in front of me has a plant with no barcode, a minute or two goes by while they are looking up the price and the center of the universe guy behind me huffs and puffs a few times then says loud enough to be heard and with a snarky tone "I mean.....just give it to her.....I mean....pffff...really...".

Going to be an emotional series. They have at least 4 guys that are A-1 dbags. Tkachuk, Lomberg, Gudas and Hornquist.

Stay out of the box, and throw pucks on net.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Has the NHL ever seen a bigger douchenozzle than Keith Tkachuk? Roenick is close a guys, and if you go back far, Bobby Hull

Keith Tkachuk was my favorite non-Bruin as a kid.

I know, selfish side of me wishes they started tomorrow afternoon or something. Oh well.

Extra day of rest can't hurt.

Ott, Avery, LaPierre, Burrows, Cooke, Torres ... just to name a few in recent memory.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Ew no,



Someone has to @marchand that lol.

Must be a joke

 

[quietbruinfan]

Ew no,



Someone has to @marchand that lol.

Must be a joke

He has either got a few very good ideas of which he is certain, or he has absolutely nothing....My hunch, he has a few ideas how to attack us, but it still will not be enough. Most likely he takes the Panthers out of what they like to do with his plans. He is great for that, having overcoached his last couple of teams.

Hornqvist is out for the season

 

[13Hockey]

I think people are confusing Matthew and Brady

Matthew finished the year with 68 hits
Brady finished the year with 242 hits

Matthew is not some guy that runs around hammering people

Matthew finished with less hits then
Pastrnak
DeBrusk
Nosek
Marchand
Coyle
Etc

 

[JEM28]

Hornqvist is out for the season

Thanks

Has a Paul Maurice-coached team, in his 25+ years behind an NHL bench, ever systematically deconstruct, frustrate, and embarrassed another team? Asking for a friend.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Pretty sure that’s fake, saw it floating around on Facebook and it screams “dumb dumb internet person poop face”

So ignore it

 

[goldnblack]

I said it earlier, that Panthers PK ranked 23 is going to be a real problem for them in this series. That's going to be a a great way to get momentum for the top end guys on PP1.

Well, there was that time in Winnipeg...

Oh, wait, you asked about ANOTHER team, not his own.

Yeah but unfortunately the Bruins power play tends to kill itself on its own.
