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

[Mione134]

now predict the playoffs!

I will say, I never vote on playoff polls. It's my superstitious thing. I will say, I have a very good feeling about this team. But we shall see!

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Keep the players off South Beach during the weekend please.

I really believe this is why Boston loses so much to the cats...

 

[Baddkarma]

Should be a good series.

The cats have some Shasha Barkov and grit. Tchuk is a pain the in the arse...

Bs PP needs to be on fire for sure to calm down the nonsense...

 

[bruinshoper]

if you like GOALS, this is the series for you. Should be one of the highest scoring series of round 1 is my guess. We should see a 6-5 game in there

I'm excited. And I feel like Marchand got all his bad passes out of the way against Montreal. He's all out!

Regarding Marchand…let’s hope so… at times I thought he was playing drunk during that MTL game.

self correction -- I had Detroit, not Buffalo. I did not see Buffalo arriving this year, but they got me hooked. A team to reckon with in the future.


Please post that money will start falling from the sky . . .

Oregon man throws thousands of dollars in cash on I-5 freeway

The 38-year-old resident of Eugene told troopers he “wanted to gift the money,” which he estimated at $200,000. The family reportedly said the man gained the money by draining his family’s shared bank accounts, “leaving them penniless.”

Playoff series usually decided by the weakest links, and Bruins have less of those than in prior years, and less than the Panthers do, so good to go. All that is needed now is execution.

 

[BruinsFan37]

Panthers get two quick goals in the 1st Period of Game 1 to go up 2-0...

And then lose the series 0-4 after the B's come back to sweep.

I don’t hang out much on the game day threads ,but it won’t be pretty on here in the first period if this happens.Lol

Luckily, the Panthers' PK is lighter fluid.

 

[Ddawg]

I would hate to be a mod on this board if we lose the first game. I can just see other fans coming over to gloat..

 

[Carl Hungus]

A fantastic article to read while we wait for game 1

This is a great read. So lucky to have had those 2 in Boston for their entire careers

news alert Presidents trophy means nothing

The trophy in itself means nothing, it does however represent something. How teams do over the course of an 82 game season.

The top 2 or 3 teams overall tend to win the cup with some exceptions, obviously. Those are exceptions. Most times the 2nd or 3rd place teams are only separated from the 1st place team by a hand full of points, not by 22 points.

Seeding, strength of conference, injuries, luck, etc. come into play.

If your life hung in the balance on a horse race, whould you bet on the horse that won 80% of the time over the last 82 races or the one that won 50% to 60% of the time?

No guarantees, but I know what horse I’ll bet on.

I wish this myth would go away. But people who don't understand statistics often compare those 8 wins against the 28 wins each other seed combined has and come to the conclusion it's cursed.

This!

When you go there you can’t concentrate at a desk job nevermind nhl playoff game

 

[Troublesome 85]

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

 

[Oates2Neely]

Panthers are quick & physical. Their D isn’t strong but their goaltending is a mystery. Bruins history with no-name goaltenders isn’t exactly encouraging. Tkachuk is an x-factor, kid is a gem.

I think the Bruins are experienced and deep. With Ullmark in goal, one of Lindholm & McAvoy on the ice for almost 45 mins will prove to be too much for the Panthers to handle. I’d guess B’s in 6. This won’t be an easy series imo. The PP will have to shine, and they’ll need some players going balls to the wall… I think Hall will be a factor, he’s skating the best he has since his MVP year in NJ. This time off has done him well.

Saturday, April 15 (Warrior Ice Arena, Brighton, MA)


- Practice, 10:45 a.m.


- Head Coach Jim Montgomery and select players available to the media following practice

 

[BruinsPortugal]

I think its gonna take 5 or 6 games but we will take the w. Which might not be a bad thing, dont want the team waiting a week for the next round.

Lets go B’s, we got this.

 

[KrazyLegs]

Florida was the last team I wanted with the Pens/Isles/Panthers fighting for those last 2 spots.
Hopefully Lyon doesn't go one of those no name goalie rips

#2 offense vs. #21 defense (easily the worst out of any playoff team)

#1 defense vs. #6 offense

I think we'll be fine.

 

[PB37]

I think Connor Clifton is going to have himself a Boychuk-esque impact on this playoff run. I'm going to be sad to see him go if he prices himself out of Boston in the summer.

Not to get to comfortable .

Exactly

Perfect

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

After all this talk Florida's just gonna come in and put up 8 goals.

I watched the 3 part documentary on it. It was on Netflix (American Man Hunt) and it totally brought me back to those three days. Legit glued to a live internet feed as everything was happening. Literally in another country, as far away as could be and I wanted nothing more than to see each of those pieces of shit suffer more than words can express.

One of them went out as painfully as possible, which was a positive.
