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

[TCB]

It sure sounds like the Bruins better let Nick Foligno play in Game 1

Good luck to anybody who tries telling Bruins winger Nick Foligno he is not playing in Game 1.

“I think I’ve made all the threats I need to make to everybody,” a smiling Foligno said when asked if there was anything that could or would keep him out of Game 1. “So hopefully that did the trick and I’ll be back for Game 1.”

“I feel great,” Foligno, who was on crutches and with a heavy-looking brace on his knee about a month ago, offered. “Physically and mentally, just [feeling] really good and used the time wisely that I had unfortunately been given to reset in a lot of ways and be ready for this.”

I am insanely terrified of the playoffs this year my heart is already racing . Time to tick more years off my life. Go B's!

 

[TD Charlie]

are we trying to jinx this

Amen. I’m fairly confident, but I’m not gonna act like worse shit hasn’t happened. Same as any series Boston is favored, I’m cautiously optimistic.

Finding myself the same way I think we just are expecting so much after the regular season

This guy's tweets read like clickbait. He is constantly posting things that rile fans up that no other beat writer is, It is sad to seee and now I look at Matt Porter, Ty Anderson, Fluto, Connor Ryan, Matt Dolloff and a few others for my news.

You are definitely on to something

 

[Ace0813]

Happy Game 1 eve, ya'll.

 

[Gee Wally]

Something to keep an eye on.

Should be on a line w Neely and Greer in the press box

Players used to be ashamed to embellish.
I get sad that we have reached a point in the NHL where this is even a thing.

Ha-Ha

I want him in the lineup, no question. If this years version of Nick Foligno says he's ready and he wants in, he's in. Only problem is who do I sit. lol

 

[Alicat]

Let me guess Swayman caught whatever has been going around the room and Bergy is getting extra rest

That’s what I was thinking. Keep the sick guys home please.

 

[BruinsBtn]

It's looking more and more likely that it's Frederic in the press box to start the series and I'm wondering if Zacha or Bertuzzi will be play 3RW.

And I'm pretty shocked that it looks like Gryz is sitting. That's a tough one to justify.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Don't like starting the first game with 4 new line set ups. Bergy better be resting

 

[danpantz]

I’m thinking Foligno is in

 

[bwunderlich]

One interesting thing in the ESPN article . . .McDavid scores more than 40-points on way to Conn and the Kings win two series.

hmm

Much rather have Gryzz than Forbort

 

[danpantz]

I wonder if they’re freaking out like we have been

I also watched the TSN playoff show last night and most of them picked Boston to win the cup including ex NHL players like Dave Poulin and Jeff O'Neill, the only ones not to pick Boston were Canadian reporters. The 2nd most popular pick was Edmonton.

 

[LouJersey]

Bruins still a better team than Florida without Bergeron.

Is Gryz still banged up? Forbort taking reps again

My guess is Gryz is out for game 1

I think for game one anyways, Freddy draws in as does Grizz. After that, you better play well to stay in if your in the bottom six.

Same goes for Grizz. Basically I think Orlov, McAvoy,Lindholm and Carlo are going to eat the majority of the minutes and then its going to fall on Grizz, Clifton and Forbort to prove their worth. Monty has already said Forbort looks rusty so id be shocked if draws in for game one, but I didn't like the way Grizz and Clifton looked as a pair. It just wasn't a good match-up for Grizz he got out muscled and moved off the puck when he was forced to go up against the Habs and Caps third and fourth liners.

That would suck
