Post-Series Talk: Boston Bruins Defeat Toronto Maple Leafs (win 4-3)

[CN8]

I had a good feeling about it once found out Matthews was in

 

[Matthews4Calder]

To be fair, I don’t know that many goalies can match Swayman.

Seriously man. he played great we get that but if he's so bloody good why wasn't he the clear #1 on the Bruins?

 

[River Meadow]

 

[Roksta]

At this point it's 50/50 if humans step on the moon a second time before the Leafs win a cup

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Except for the two flubbed goals yes. Neither was a good look for him. He’s not solely to blame but the evidence was right there in front of us.

The OT winner is on the skaters. Goalie had a top 3 goal scorer with speed explode in suddenly on a loose puck.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Oh, So you were banking on a shutout given the Leaf scored only a single goal tonight.

Samsonov is unfairly being scape goated for tonight. He played well enough to win. The blame lies on the players that only scored 1 goal and could barely get extended O zone time.

Samsonov played well enough to win tonight. He isn't why Toronto lost.

 

[VanJack]

There's a reason why coming back from a 1-3 hole is so hard in a seven-game series. When two teams are as evenly matched as those two, it requires an incredible amount of luck to reel off three in a row.

Really nothing to choose between these two teams.....but Florida must be licking their chops.

 

[Bruce Granville]

So, who did NOT have Bruins in 7, OT, GWG Pasta?
Easiest pick of all.
But kudos to the script, it was completely different than expected although we all knew the ending.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

From 2021, watch them extend Marner this summer

 

[BCNate]

I have to say, I came out of this series a pretty big Nylander fan. He is the only one that showed up, and really changed the series once he was healthy.

Build around him, knies, Matthews. Everyone else goes, especially that smug as coach.

More like humans step on mars for the first time.

 

[T REX]

If the bruins didn't have swayman they would have been toast. he was lights out all series.

Great series from the Leafs though. they put up one heck of a fight, and quite frankly I'm shocked they didn't pull it off, they had all the momentum.

Why the H did Ullmark even start a game? Honest question. Don't like Monty as a coach. He's not a winner IMHO(today not withstanding LOLOLOL)

 

[North Cole]

No Matthews, no problem. Oops

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

How the hell are people blaming samsonov

Matthews, Tavares, Marner were complete no shows again.

With that much money invested in forwards, if your goalie gives up 1 goal in regulation, you shouldnt be in overtime.

 

[le_sean]

Good.

 

[AvroArrow]

From 2021, watch them extend Marner this summer

I will turn on this franchise winter soldier style. I'm not even f***ing joking. If they re-sign Marner under any circumstance, I'm done with this team.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

How many games did Matthews play with Woll in net?

Woll is the new shiny toy apparently. Toronto skaters and Boston poor efforts made Woll's record what it was this series. Toronto was close tonight but not in complete defensive sync as opposed to the two games with Woll.

Certainly, blame the goalie.

 

[Hank Plank]

More like humans step on mars for the first time.

Cup final will be played on Mars and the Leafs won't be there.

At least they were right about Casey Mittelstadt

 

[Sheppy]

Time to hand out some receipts

 

[Oscar The Grouch]

How many games did Matthews play with Woll in net?

I'm not sure what Woll has to do with Auston Matthews' goal scoring ability decreasing by 65% in the playoffs.

 

[OilerTyler]

The Leafs spend more money on forwards than any other team in the NHL and were the lowest scoring team in the first round. Blaming any other position is a cop out, especially when your defence and goaltending held Boston to 1 goal in regulation tonight.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Marner at least tried his best.

Swayman vs Samsonov 4-0 clean sweep for Boston

Leafs needed Samsonov to match Swayman once, he couldn't. I hope he enjoys his new team.

Woll was 2-0 against Swayman

yeah his new team in the minors

just another dude who should have never been in the NHL in the first place... he knows people in high places obviously


good f*ing riddance
