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

[DarrenBanks56]

as far as bergerons injury.
what can you say?
no way he shouldve been playing thursday.
i was surprised half those guys dressed.

 

[BruinsBtn]

I wonder if the Bergeron injury is from that hit from Pezetta? He was running around like an idiot for a shift at the start of the game.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

What are they in hits after the callout?

I'm not your servant, look it up

 

[NeelyDan]

I honestly can't believe Bergy may not play.

 

[KnightofBoston]

I honestly can't believe Bergy may not play.

I can, team has an embarrassment of riches and anyhow, anytime, anyway - they’ve found ways to win.

 

[bob77]

To me, their is no pecking order, but rather two styles, etc. Stay at home play D type and offensive D. Some make both styles. So Lindy, Mc, and Orlov in both. Gryz Cliffy offense. Forbort Carlo Stay home. If Forbort plays it’s because they want two stay home in the lineup. Either Gryz or Cliffy could sit. Also, everyone wants to keep making pairs all the way to 5 and 6. They don’t ever have to play them together. There’s enough double shifting they can use between Mc, Lindy, and Orlov. You could go a whole game with Forbort seeing PK and shifts with Carlo or McAvoy. Same with Cliffy. With Lindy Orlov. Same withGryz. McAvoy or Carlo.

 

[Mione134]

I'm not gonna worry about Bergy until he gives me a reason to. He'll play eventually. Not worried.

 

[Lordstanley]

I honestly can't believe Bergy may not play.

His Present , Leadership and Winning on the Dot is so important to this team. Hopefully he makes it back on the ice soon if something is keeping him from playing.

 

[Alicat]

For what it may or may not be worth, considering the tweeter...

Jimmy Thin Skins and his pal Porkchop are probably his "sources."

No local beat guy has said anything like this so until one of them does I look at this as nothing more than looking for attention,

Dater makes Jimmy Murphy look like Leigh Montville in comparison.

Absolutely.

I firmly believe the Bruins could rest Bergeron for the entire Florida series and still advance.

They’ll need him more for the second round - whomever that may be.

 

[bwunderlich]

We have the depth to miss Bergy or DK for some time, particularly during the 1st Round. But DK has missed a bunch of time too.

Until we see him lights out, Ullmark is also an unknown.

What a difference a week makes of totally meaningless games.

I’m confident.

The Bruins have been getting everyone’s best shot every night for months. Not the same as playoff action, but close.

They’re as ready as they’ll ever be.

i wouldnt be as worried about bergys injury if krejci hadnt looked 60 years old since early march

 

[PatriceBergeron]

The fact that Bergeron’s status is even questionable makes me really nervous given his history of playing through things in the playoffs.

I can’t believe they’ve even put themselves in this situation over a meaningless game 82.

I'm not so sure its 100% injury related. There's a bug running through the locker room according to many people.

Monty said after the Hab game, Patrice wanted to keep playing.


It doesn't sound too concerning to me, imo.

 

[Gordoff]

Let's just be happy we have the defensive depth to even be having this conversation.

It wasn't too long ago that Jeremy Lauzon was on our top pairing in the playoffs...

What would this place be without contrived controversy and arguments?!?!

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Always keep em' guessin'.

 

[Number8]

Why do people just pull things out of their asses like this? FL a big hitting team? they are 25th in hits and just got publicly called soft by their top star's dad.

You want to disagree with me, fine. No problem with that. I’ve been wrong before and will be again.

If you want to take the attitude that I’m “pulling things out of my ass”, learn how to have a dialogue wIthout being so disrespectful. I’d say more, but prefer to go into the playoff season without an infraction.

And don’t come whining to me when Gudas or Tchachuk cheap shots one of our guys.

 

[Gordoff]

Panthers in 7.
I could see them taking one game in Boston.

Thanks for the chuckle. I see that you're a Blue Jays fan (that says it all). How's the weather in Toronto?

 

[Gordoff]

Actually, I do not mind that you are here, but if your prediction happens..

You are giving all of us the winning lottery numbers

Well, if you think about it he just gave us the equivalent of a lottery ticket. If you bet that the Bruins will lose in 7 to the Cats and it happens it'll most likely be a big payoff. Or, just a waste of money lol.

 

[BTO]

I feel like this series has a good chance of me going from "Ehh Panthers are fine. Wish the best for their franchise" to "I f***ing hate these guys as much as the Caps, Blues, Bolts."

Yeah, no.

If that last game was anywhere else...I think Bergeron is nowhere near it.

The Bruin inability to win draws without Bergeron will be a big problem. Nosek will do the job when protecting a lead, but I trust no one else if they are down a goal.

 

[Tbaybruin]

Bruins in 6. I hate been cocky and saying in 4.

Fantastic avatar.

 

[Tbaybruin]

Jesus f***ing Christ this board

50% of you pick bruins in 4 or 5 and suddenly the sky is falling because they’re giving a 37 year old player some rest as if practice #3578 is more important.

Panthers are going to send guys home in body bags, etc etc


You could live like me and pick bruins in 6 and then enjoy your in between game time building garden beds and looking at flowers while your dogs run around and bark at the ups guy because he fed them milk bones once creating what is essentially the 21st century Pandora’s box.

Time to touch some grass folks! Game 1 is over 48 hours from now!

I wish Jesus was on this board
