NHL 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs

Berube back to his usual

 

[McBrom7]

5 minute major to review then reduced to 2 minutes. Beautifully reffed. Exactly how I would do it.

Now that second one is not a playoff penalty. Matthews gets out muscled.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

I think this game is done. But this was always going to be the hardest one for the Sens - first ever playoff game for a lot of their players, on the road. Consider it a learning experience.

Game 2 will be the one where we see if they can make it a competitive series. You can see they have the speed and puck movement to trouble the Leafs, but they have to do it consistently, clean up their D and cut the dumb penalties.

They had plenty of the play in the first but down 2-0 on 3 shots is brutal

Imagine this place if it was Sway and Boston

PUllmark

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Pull Ullmark or let him suffer through it and start Forsberg fresh in G2?

 

[CrownofThornton]

Linus Luongo.

 

[NeelyDan]

Leafs look brimming with confidence

 

[McBrom7]

Pull Ullmark or let him suffer through it and start Forsberg fresh in G2?

That’s a tough one. He’s a mentally tough guy so I think I would let him try to get back into seeing the puck well. This one’s probably already lost, however.

I think if they get to 5 he’s out though.

 

[Mantis]

I love Marc Savard but goddamn did he get fat

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Pull Ullmark or let him suffer through it and start Forsberg fresh in G2?

I would pull him. Ottawa hasn’t been bad overall. Had a good first and until the crazy penalties they were in it. Go with Forsberg in game 2 if you lose.

I think the Senators don’t stand a chance in this series if Ullmark doesn’t play well. Linus needs to find a way to get going or they’re toast.

If anything Matthews should have been called for embellishment.

Ottawa cant buy a goal

 

[Bruinaura]

If Ottawa can make it 4-1..................

 

[Aussie Bruin]

The Leafs finally have a serious goalie in Stolarz. Been excellent all season and still quite fresh. Hate to say it, but I think they are in a better position to have a deep run than they have been for a long time.

Not saying they will, but it's a realistic possibility, especially if they get through this series comfortably while the Floridas beat each other senseless.

 

[McBrom7]

Toronto on the powerplay because they got out muscled again. Maybe being big and mean isn’t so cracked up to be.

What a horrible call. Essentially ended the game there

Much better balanced team.

 

[bbfan419]

Bruins should have signed Stolarz and then taken Chchyrun instead of Korpisalo in the Ullmark trade.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

I’ll give Ottawa this they have been physical. If it goes 6 games that wears down TO for the next round…..this is however as others have said a much better Leaf team

Ottawa only gets speed through the neutral zone. It’s their whole game plan. Leafs did s great job shutting it down in the first, leafs got leaky in the second. Goaltending has been a major factor. Ullmark has been atrocious tonight.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Ottawa fans know what we went through in the playoffs in 2023 with Linus - he ain’t strong when push comes to shove

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Ullmark must be better. Toronto gifted 2 goals by officials. Even so Ottawa PP had a chance... Ottawa's only chance is to adopt a Florida style and take runs.

 

[PlayMakers]

Ullmark is falling apart.
