i can see the devils beating the bruins....if im being honest. boston has a lot of playoff inexperience.

Yes this makes sense, oh wait, what?

 

[Hint1k]

Not a bad game after all. First time in ages we played 40 minutes out 60, instead of usual 20.
McD with one rookie mistake and Kucherov with some bad luck cost us this game.
With all 60 minutes effort and full speed we will be ok.

it reads better if you read it on the bruins board. go on now, get

Tonight was actually encouraging for me. I think we were the better team for most of the game. Both teams treated this as game 1 of the playoffs, and I think we were the (slightly) better team.

Hell if Killorn wasn't a dumbass and Cirelli backed out of the crease, we could have won this won on the road. This would be a hell of a series.

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

Once again - that's not an explanation. That's a conclusory statement.

Refs in this sport are trash. We've just accepted such low quality. Game is called differently for different teams at different times. It's asinine.

It's La Liga-quality refereeing in every sense of the term, for anyone else here who watches any La Liga soccer games.

 

[Lightning1995]

I mean, they don't. New Jersey/Philly/Florida/whoever, have to hope they knock them out.

Yeah, Toronto would have a better shot. Bottom line Coop needs to go it there is a second round exit or earlier

Yea it’s never consistent.

I would agree if Boston was 100%

Ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

Have you ever heard that phrase before? It means we played better tonight and lost.

I know you're knew to hockey but you should know that, as it's used universally throughout the sporting world.

Knew to hockey? You mean NEW. LOL. I just put you on ignore. See ya pal. Not only are you full of shinola, your grammar is awful. The condescension is over the top.

PS You are the first person that I even entertained using the ignore feature on. I'm normally against it but you are too much doo doo and not enough good posts.

That’s what I’m saying if we were a little more disciplined we could beat them. I’m not saying I would bet money against them in a 7 game series but I feel a little better about it than I did before. They are a good team for sure but beatable.

*bruins poster watching game*

oh man, we're gonna win. i just gotta post on the lightning board now.

*makes shitty grammar joke*

I was thinking the same thing. Rookie move.

Like you're even worthy to read my posts. I new you were a dumb dumb the moment I saw you!

Project much?

 

[Bolt 45]

We can't win a game like that if the refs are actively pulling against us, which they were. Why are our face off wins always called back? Why aren't other teams getting tripped up by the refs behind the net and on zone entries?

 

[Bolt 45]

If Tampa played this game against a healthy Boston team I’d be encouraged. But that’s not the case.

Is that the best you can do? Well, good effort, I guess. You'll get there.

 

[Lightning1995]

Plus the GI. We NEVER get that call. Ever. Why? To far south?

 

[Hoek]

If it wasn't for McDonagh's and Killorn's sheer stupidity at the end of the first period we would've won 2-1. Ah well. Good effort otherwise, and that's mainly what I wanted to see.

 

[Master P]

Game could have gone either way.

 

[Steazy Doo]

We play an absolute shit hole of a game against Boston and people say "No way we can beat them in a series" Alright whatever.

We play a great game against them and people say we can't beat them in a series.

If we had played like the Bruins tonight and won, it would be the same thing. "No way we'd beat them playing like that!" "We won but the Bruins abused us!"

 

[Bolt 45]

Hmm. This post seems sincere. Totally confused, to be honest.

 

[Lightning1995]

Just speaking my mind, said nothing deragatory appears to me Boston may just be better. Would love to be wrong. Don’t really understand your obsession with policing my posts.

 

[Steazy Doo]

That guys got the brain of a T REX too. He really needs to play at a high level, it's hard to converse with someone who doesn't have premium hockey knowledge.

And when you get put on ignore you win. And buddy, I always win

 

[T REX]

Game could have gone either way.

I'm not sure that's the bar I'm looking for though.

The division on the line.
Home ice on the line.
Mental edge vs at one point a probable 2nd round match up. Now? Maybe but I doubt it.

4-2 loss.

Boston has outscored us 10-4 on the year. 0-3 vs Boston.

How sad is it when we are applauding the "effort"? Shouldn't that be there every night?
