WE finally got one!Good GDT!
i agree boston d has been A+.. also helps to have the goalie absolutely on it.While Swayman has been very solid, I don’t think enough people are giving Boston’s D enough credit. Other than McAvoy’s best Ekblad impressions from time to time, Boston has blocked a ton and kept shots to the outside and allowed Swayman to see everything. So yeah, I think it’s more of that instead of Swayman being an incarnation of Guiguiere or Hasek. He’s very much beatable. This series will put him to the test I think.

"Go ______ Go" tell me you're from Canada without telling me you're from CanadaGo Bruins Go
Which tells you all you need to know about advanced stats. Anyone who’s watched the first round knows Bob made the most amount of amazing saves and faced the better offense. This stat just takes into account shots against…again, Bruins D have done a good job of keeping those shots to lower quality shots from the outside. They’re doing a good job of making him see everything.Goals saved above expected:
Swayman: +13.2
Bobrovsky: -0.2

Aww did your feelings get hurt when I said Tampa has a better offense than Toronto? I’m so sorryWell, I am gonna need you to start beating Boston and Swayman pronto. Mmmkay? Otherwise Leafs brass might say “see, Florida can’t score on them either, we just got goalied”. And no changes will be made.
i mean is that all in the third period... or can they at least pile that on in the first so we can go do something else.28-3 bruins win
Bruins are pretty young team overall don’t see conditioning being a big factorNice GDT, I expect the cats to come out flying tonight testing the bruins conditioning now that they should be up to speed. Go B’s!
It’s McAvoy’s turn tonight.Need Ekblad to continue his great play.
Exactly why I'm not too confident in tonight. They have a bad habit of taking their foot off the gas pedal when they should be going for the killI've seen too many series where the Bruins kicked the opponents' ass in game 1 then with a chance to take a stranglehold on the series they come out listless in game 2 and lose. They need to break that cycle tonight.
Florida should have traded him to Boston at the deadline to help them win this series with the way he played.Need Ekblad to continue his great play.
