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

[KrugAvoy]

Who said this and why did they even mention it? Why would anyone disclose this? hahaha

Control the things you can control. Basic common sense thrown out the window the last week or so by the coach for continuing to play the player who was the first to be sick, then taking him along with the stars to Montreal for a meaningless game. Marchy and Bergy should have been resting regardless of the sickness on the team. Whatever. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I still love Monthy and think the Bs will win round 1, but for f*** sake he needed to be smarter. The issues in the room today were largely avoidable had more caution been shown.

I find it so weird how much this board hates Gryz and loves AJ Greer, who coughs the puck up more than anyone.

no, thats pasta

its obvious the stomach bug is going tgrough the room.
pasta had it last week of the season. but he played i think.

doesn`t the lineup decisions stem from cap stuff? Meaning the B`s can`t simply call up an infinite number of players and sit current NHL`ers. I`m not of the mindset that Monty wanted Bergy to play, my guess is that Marchand and Bergy have a say.

 

[Hookslide]

Cannot wait for 7:30 so we can put all this speculation behind ..........

I don't think he would have needed to replace a ton of players at the time when the sickness began. As for Bergy and Marchy I am sure they told Monty they wanted to play. That's why back before the game I said that Monty needed to make an executive decision since he's the coach. The players would have understood.

Sounds like Sam Bennett is a minimum of 3-5 days from being an option for the Panthers.

Did they release the lineu?
Don‘t care who is in there just want to see it

Never mind got it in the other thread

Not to cause panic, my friends and I caught both the seasonal standard coronavirus AND influenza about a month ago during paddies because some idiot came in the bar sick. My mates lost 10-15lbs and we all developed some sort of pneumonia/bronchitis. Absolutely nasty crippled us. Hope that's not what's going around, but must consider it could play a factor

 

[Lordstanley]

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.

I totally agree....Give him as much rest as possible. But still get some practice in. What is lost though , a ton of face off wins, which no doubt is a major concern. Hopefully we can still win the majority with the centers we have.

 

[Kegs]

omg am I ever allowed to have an opinion ever. fine bruins in 4, happy ?

Yes I’m happy now. That’s better.

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

Dreadful pp

Gosh, Orlov reminds me so much of Bourque

 

[Gee Wally]

 

[NeelyDan]

I really, really want a 2-0 lead rather than a split

 

[rfournier103]

I guess that means we won't be able to read anything into who is or isn't there.

Well played, Bruins.

 

[EverettMike]

Series is already over. Moving my mental energies to round 2.

 

[13Hockey]

I agree Monty

Hall, Bert, Coyle, Nosek best forwards last night

 

[NeelyDan]

Hall looked at times like a kamikaze pilot

....on a separate note, is kamikaze still an acceptable term?

 

[13Hockey]

"He was around all day and kind of talked to us before the game. He was watching here in the room. Obviously, such a presence," forward Jake DeBrusk said of Bergeron. "You can tell how bad he wants to be out there, and he can't wait to get back in the mix. It's one of those things where you can tell he's itching to get back, and it's one of those things that we take as a team, and it kind of gives you a boost seeing him around.

"We want to do it for him," added DeBrusk.

Patrice Bergeron feeling better, considered questionable for Game 2 vs. Panthers

 

[Kate08]

Patrice Bergeron’s definition of “feeling better” would probably still send us mere mortals to the hospital.

Absolutely, if someone tells you otherwise. Tell them to give their balls a tug!

Hall did look good. So strong on the backcheck.
