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

[River Meadow]

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

I think he may have a broken nail

 

[Oilslick941611]

3 points in 3 games won't cut it for Matthews.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

If Boston wins the next one the series is pretty much over.

 

[AvroArrow]

Leafs special team coach should be fired immediately, like he should not even get a chance to step into the locker room. Brutal is an understatement, 0/5 PP while generating almost nothing. I think we have 1 PP goal this series ? Under 10%

PK is at what 50% ?

People can whine about the McAvoy hold or Marchand trip, it doesn't matter. Our guys scored 2 goals AGAIN, and generated absolutely nothing on the powerplay, they don't have the right to blame the refs.

Boston converted on their chances, Marchand played a phenomenal game absolute beast tonight, Swayman was good.

We had our chances but once again, failed to convert. Just beyond frustrated with the special teams at this point.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Bruins have to stay with Swayman. Hope Montgomery does.

He has a big game… he gets a pass from leafs fans for the rest of the playoffs

And he’s close personal friends with Justin beiber

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

A wonderful night for a rat attack.

He may be a rat. But he's our rat.

It's funny, I can't figure out who's going to choke harder. Both teams have now given up game-winners in the 3rd at home

Save Monty from himself

Swayman needs to be in

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Bruins overcame the script! Not nearly physical enough and Maroon is useless.

Yet tenacity and Bruins key players are elevating and overcoming obstacles.

Leafs outplayed the Bruins but couldn't generate any scoring chances. Samsonov was bad again. Neither team looks like they have a chance against Florida/Tampa

How is that a choke?

 

[wintersej]

I was team “Ullmark in game 2”. But you gotta go back to Swayman again until he loses. Or, however extremely extremely extremely extremely unlikely it is, in Game 1 if Swayman doesn’t lose again.

 

[River Meadow]

Bruins have to stay with Swayman. Hope Montgomery does.

Hopefully Swayman has swayed the coach enough to keep him in for game 4.

He has sure swayed the entire fanbase.

 

[VainGretzky]

They should have kept Hyman and dumped Marner 3 years ago

 

[mm11]

Man #91 looks cooked.

Good post

Swayman and ullmark are kinda the X factors

Samsonov has been solid…. But Boston goalies are making game saving saves all over

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Hahahahahhahahahahhahaha

Marchand dominating bertuzzi and domi

Domi is an idiot. I thought Bertuzzi controlled Marchand for the first half of the game but then Marchand took over.

Yes. They need to ride with him and see how it goes. I think they will.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Marchand was just playing the long con

 

[SensFactor]

Trade Marner and Tavares....

 

[Dellstrom]

Bruins have to stay with Swayman. Hope Montgomery does.

He needs to and I think he will. Linus is always there if/when we need him. But this game is over in the 1st period without Sway.

We pretty much expected the Leafs to bounce back in game 2 then return to being the Leafs in game 3. That's exactly what happened.

 

[Coach Parker]

Don't care about the ref talk and haven't read it. I posted in the GDT that the game will turn right when Domi hit Swayman and woke the sleepy Bruins up. Toronto was outplaying them (you could argue the Bruins were coasting in game one and it was self-inflicted wounds the Leafs were doing rather than the Bruins dominating or outplaying by a large margin) but the Bruins need a reason to get fired up and suddenly it was a Brad Marchand Bruins playoff game.

I expect the Leafs to even it out going back to Boston. We all know this is going to seven but the Bruins don't win game 7's at home anymore recently...

 

[AuraSphere]

Bruins dont actually look good - this is probably the worst version of a bruins team we've played against. It's unfortunate but Marner is just dog shit and we are missing Nylander.

Hopefully he's back soon - bench marner and hopefully trade him in the offseason and use cap relief on D

 

[Do or Die]

Do or die time, I chose the Leafs in 7, this is a must win IMO

Not happening
