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

[rfournier103]

Hey you're a Boston dude yeah?

Yes. Born and raised.

I actually have a legit question, what the hell happened to Au Bon Pain and Legal Seafood? They're just gone?

That’s news to me. I have no idea what happened. Sorry I don’t have a better answer.

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

Well… I’d say we know better than *most,* if you know what I mean.

Hats off to the Leafs. They played to their strengths last night and were the better team. They deserved the win.

 

[Peasy]

If Keefe for a second thinks that putting Marner with Matthews is a good idea this series is over. I can't believe the pathetic Jonas Siegel is already writing articles about why it should happen.

This game was enough proof of why it should never happen.

 

[Auston Marlander]

Buddy we don’t have to just bring up regular season we have series after series of wining against you guys to bring to the table. Congrats on evening up the series. Leaf fans love planning the cup parade after tying the series. Embarrassing. Jesus…. Man

You are more than welcome to live in the past Uncle Rico, but the rest of us will focus on today, the series we are currently playing which is tied 1-1.

You call others trolls, real pot meet kettle vibes my guy.

 

[Schennanigans]

Great response from the leafs last night.

I thought Mathews was much more of a leader in that game than he’s been in the past

He's a whole different player when he engages physically.

Boston needs everyone going to keep the team approach tight.

Toronto just needs to stay out of its own way.

 

[Lshap]

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

This is true. All the more reason to give Marner credit. He's built a successful NHL career despite suffering from severe April-itis.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Mind boggling decision to start Ullmark last night when Swayman excelled in game 1. Boston’s coach needs to stop galaxy braining here.

Congrats to the Leafs on a much needed win.

 

[Lshap]

Hey Leafs fans – What's the word on Nylander?

 

[TheGoldenJet]

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

It was lunacy to go with their backup after Swayman dominated in the first game.

Ullmark was excellent

No, he wasn’t.

 

[Over the volcano]

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.

That's why they went with Ullmark - they've been rotating all season and it wasn't broke so they didn't mess with it.

I would have gone with Swayman too, but what the hell do I know.

Hey Leafs fans – What's the word on Nylander?

Was skating yesterday.

 

[Warden of the North]

Hey Leafs fans – What's the word on Nylander?

There isn't one. Keefe said that Treliving isn't allowing them to talk about injury.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Monty took a page right out of Dean Evason's Big Book of Dumb Coaching Decisions, switching from the hot hand after a playoff win.

Now the Leafs have the momentum, it's a whole new series, best of 5 and they've got home ice advantage.

All because "well that's the rotation we've always done!"

Dumb move.

This is the beginning of the end for Boston.

Toronto wins in 5. They're going to destroy Boston in game 3.

Watched the replay of “The Dive” and it’s worse than I thought. Dude is holding the knee cap of the wrong leg when he got slashed in the hamstring of the other leg.

How the mighty have fallen. They went from a captain like Bergeron who was just all class all the time to that. It’s like going from a Ferrari to a non electric scooter.

 

[BB79]

Legal Seafood is still around. I always thought it was hilarious that there was a legal seafood across the street from the New England Aquarium downtown. Whoever placed that at least had a sense of humor.

Assuming the aquarium is illegal seafood

 

[BB79]

Assuming the aquarium is illegal seafood

Only if you get caught

We can't let those bloody Red Wings fans in, they'll steal our octopus

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

I imagine they'll consider stripping the C off of him this offseason for that.
No one wants that representing their team.

 

[LuGBuG]

That bailout from Marner in the corner was a major yikes. Can’t have that from a 10 million dollar player in playoffs especially when you see the effort Matthews puts in all over the ice.

He's embarrassing.

Hot take bud

 

[HockeyVirus]

Matthews ain't the problem, rest of the leafs need to step up to win this.

That's what fans have been trying to say for a while but people love a good narrative. Even if not producing, Matthews is elite defensively and battling for pucks and impacting the game. Something other core players don't do much when they aren't producing
