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

[1specter]

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

Ullmark robbed Leafs players multiple times. Leafs had >65% of scoring chances and almost 70% of high danger chances this game, while also having ~60% of expected goals. If not for Ullmark this could've been 5 or 6-2.

 

[Breakers]

Mitch Marner with the worst underlying numbers on the entire leafs roster tonight

And that fits the eye test too.

Stay Classy Bah-stin. How's that clam chowdah

I turned this game on, and literally the next second Tavares scored.

You can thank me for the win.

"I get it. There's an open agenda."

Words unspoken if he weren't retiring this year.

Completely inaccurate take. This is an old clip that was voiced over. Jack Edwards didn't even say this today. He said it 5 years ago... when he wasn't retiring.



Sounds awfully familiar doesn't it?

Bruins in 5 games .

 

[Donnie740]

I can’t believe the Bruins braintrust made such a foolish decision to start Ullmark tonight after the game Swayman had on Saturday.

It was comical to see Ullmark like a helpless fish out of water in the breakaway goal by Matthews. ZERO chance.

Please feel free to continue starting Ullmark, Boston.

Classy post.

You did not answer my question. Leaf fans were happy about the switch, yes?

Leafs fans were happy with the win. No one has a crystal ball to see if it ends better or worse with Swayman.

Boston alternated goalies all season. Swayman will be in Game 3. Blaming Ullmark for this game is ridiculous though.

 

[Sal Iaccuzzo]

Leafs forum celebration like they won the series LOL

LOLOLOL BRO

 

[johnnyonthspot]

Lol, Jets fan trying to troll in an awkward way, good try though, horton and the other bruin fans will be happy and maybe they’ll give you a candy lmao.

Troll? I do not think so. When Marchand starts diving you know the Bee's are in trouble. I despise the leafs and their fans but I do think they will win the series.

Jack Edwards voice/delivery sounds much different nowadays. This is bogus.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers tonight.

 

[Ratsreign]

Someone should have told him that Marchand grabbed the wrong leg.

Maybe he suffered a cramp? It's unfair for him to blame a tap to the other leg for Marchand's reaction.

It hurt so bad the pain was shooting up the one leg and down the other

 

[winnipegger]

It can't be Bos Toronto without 7 games. Let's see how good of a grip that monkey has on Toronto's back.

 

[HolyHagelin]

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

Yes, because that is how sports works, players perform to precisely the same levels in consecutive games, with no variance.

Boston people are nuts. “Of course we lost! We started the defending vezina winner in net!”

Boston coach should be fired tonight for switching goalies. Killed the momentum.

Ullmark was excellent, I'm not quite sure what more Swayman would have done

Boston just got outplayed

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Marner has to be playing injured. He was terrible tonight.

Ya not sure what Jim was thinking starting Ullmark. If it ain’t broke, don’t mess with it.

He was 3-0 during the season vs the Leafs and 1-0 in the playoffs with 35 saves in game 1. Sounds pretty consistent.

They have two star goaltenders and have been running a tandem all season long. If I were to assume what Jim was thinking is their goaltending depth was a huge part of their good season.

Boston has been a meh team otherwise (loser points, lacklustre forward depth). His decision is logical to me. Why change now and possibly disrupt the team?

As a Leaf fan I would love it don't get me wrong. Bench last year's Vezina winner without cause, I'm down with it. Lol

Seems crazy to blame Ullmark, at all. Goaltending is the least of the Bruins worries. They easily have the edge in that department.

Should've been fired last April for playing the wrong goalie in the playoffs
