ECQF: Boston Bruins vs Toronto Maple Leafs (Series Tied 3-3)

[Lafleurs Guy]

Have you been watching these games? He's been running over the Bruins and that 4th line has been so dominant Montgomery had to change the match up lol.

Would love Reavo in Montreal

No thank you.

I agree though that he had a decent game and a good first period.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

You have a point. The Leafs have to be more disciplined.

Yep. There is a way to beat that kind of player.... don't let him goad you into stupid shit.

He doesn't care how he does it, he will sucker you in. That's just a fact of life in the playoffs.

 

[Mathews28]

Agree 100% - - Reaves and the 4th line have manhandled the Bruins.

I don’t understand why people try to comment when they haven’t even watched the games.

That leafs 4th line was also responsible for a key goal against in game one when they overcommitted to a hit in the ozone. Cuts both ways. Let’s see what happens in G3.

Hmm. Same move that the other captain made leading to a PP goal. Both soft but understandably looking to draw a call.

Marchand grabbed the leg he wasn't even slashed on.....

 

[WillTheThrill]

I’ve learned leaf fans have little to cheer and celebrate. So winning a road game to tie a series is a pretty big deal.. they are now the cup favorites.

You sound mad, might be time to log off for the night

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

LOL, are you cereal? That's quite possibly the worst dive I've ever seen in the NHL. That's not "gamemanship", That's cheating. He's a cheater. He did it again at the end of the game BTW. He's such a good player. He doesn't need to do this but when it's all said and done and he retires it'll be the face licking, slew footing and diving I'll remember him for. I wonder if that's how he imagined it playing out?

You seem mad. Marchand accomplished exactly what he set out to do (minus the win).

 

[Mathews28]

Marchand grabbed the leg he wasn't even slashed on.....

Yeah ya totally missed the point. On the “cross check” to Tavares he was tapped and folded. Same general attempt to draw a penalty. You with me know?

 

[WillTheThrill]

Congrats, Leafs fans. You finally beat the Bruins for the first time in a year and a half.

Huzzah. The day is yours.

See you Wednesday.

Bruins fans should know better than anyone that regular season success doesn’t matter haha

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

You're trying to equate two things that aren't equal. If Tavares went down and held his arm, that'd be the same thing.

 

[Mathews28]

Dude you’re hilarious. The point is neither should have been a penalty. If you’re going to over analyze to the point of who grabbed what arm, you’re way too invested. Go to bed.

TBH, the hubris shown after a single goal win vs the backup goaltender is a little over the top.

JMHO. It's a good win. No more, no less.

What backup goalie? Ullmark is Vezina caliber goaltender.

Marchand grabbed the leg he wasn't even slashed on.....

I noticed that. That was actually hilarious. He grabbed the wrong leg! What a character.

It was the dumb decision by Edmundson to pinch that directly led to the goal. Absolutely ZERO need to pinching that early on the road in Game 1.

Nah we celebrate. Eat it

 

[ER89]

Or… the Leafs could just not hack him in the ankle during a scrum.

Trash take

Yeah that and Reaves looking for a hit at that moment wasn’t smart either. Bad communication I guess. Tonight, man they were tough.

 

[Hank Plank]

Marchand burned through any good will about 75 drives ago.

Swayman is the guy. Beat him and then I'll actually be impressed. Montgomery made a huge mistake. The hot hand was Swayman. Zero reason to rotate. None. I've never seen such stupid coaching. There's an old football saying...if you have 2 QBs, you have none. It applies here.

 

[thegazelle]

Swayman didn't play. Yikes

Thanks for pointing out. I meant Ullmark. I am old and slow and knew Swayman was playing next game so brain not working right. I don't think the result would have been much different tonight had Swayman played.

 

[Mathews28]

Nah we celebrate. Eat it

As I guess you should when you’ve tied a series. But you’re not the one I was referring to so don’t let me keep you from
Your celebration.

 

[T REX]

What??? Totally disagree. Swayman just played an amazing game. Why wouldn't he again? I don't get it.

 

[Leaf Fans]

I’ve learned leaf fans have little to cheer and celebrate. So winning a road game to tie a series is a pretty big deal.. they are now the cup favorites.

Yeah, true not much -same as Boston as they each have won a game. The Leafs got a split in Boston, so it is something as they lost game one. I don't think they are favorites now, but better to be tied than down 2 games to none. But it is only game two.

 

[The don godfather]

Linus played out of his mind tonight just saying.

 

[T REX]

Linus played out of his mind tonight just saying.

Pretty sure that leaf fans were happy they switched goalies. Yes?

 

[Prettyisland]

Mad? No. But FYI when Jack Edwards is mocking a Marchand dive...it's pretty bad. Just say it and move on.

This is very old clip of Jack dubbed over a SN feed. I think this is very deep trolling

 

[Menzinger]

You seem mad. Marchand accomplished exactly what he set out to do (minus the win).

If he's going to do something so open and ridiculous as that, it's going to come with public mockery. He flops worse than a fish.
