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

[BostonBob]

another day of going to work when your boss is a Bruins fan telling you to take your leaf hat off....

You shouldn't need your boss to tell you that.

Have folks seen this angle?



Embarrassing watching the Bruins dive all over the ice this series.

Was that during the delay of game stoppage when Samsonov shook off his helmet to stop the play?

I have no problem with calling an embellishment penalty on either team when it's warranted.
Put a stop to that stuff thats creeping into the game more each year.

It’s called the Toronto time out, they do it when they know they’re ffed.

Goalie masks don't have chin straps.

It’s the third time in 2 games, maybe he should buckle up and man up .

Boston wins tonight it’s over.

If Boston wins tonight without there even being a game, that's it, I'm done with this league.

So Matthews should decide games by himself like the other stars you originally listed, except those other stars have superstars with them playing a prominent role in their victory

No one is denying AM34 needs to lead the charge, but winning a series on the back of 1 guy doesn't really happen lol. For example, in game 2 he was responsible for all 3 goals we scored, yet we barely won 3-2

The Leafs need their other guys to get going as well, it can't just be AM34. Marner had a nice assist in game 3 and it's hopefully the start of his offense coming alive


Unfortunately, I agree. My hope before the series was Matthews/Nylander to lead the offensive charge and we would have the JT/Marner line play Pastrnak even

With Nylander gone the Marner line needs to score more, but I'm not particularly confident that they will do so

Not only responsible for all 3 goals scored but actually saved a goal at the end. Very few players have as dominant a performance as we seen from Matthews that game and he also played the last game sick.

 

[LeafAttack]

What's bizarre is that Bertuzzi started hacking Marchand in game 1 before the puck was even dropped.

I get that Marchand can stir the pot and get under players skin - especially during a playoff series where you see each other night after night.

But Marchand was in Bertuzzi's head before the series even started.

If the Leafs can put Marchand aside,and treat him like regular,they would be more focused,and less distracted.Marchand knows he is in their heads from the Liljegren hit.

That's on my to do list. TR used to manage Turkey Joes downtown St. Johns, but I won't be there until next summer most likely, haha.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

There was no penalty on the Mathews play because McAvoy was coming in to wrap him up and Mathews was bracing for a bigger hit. It was Mathews force that pushed the two of em backwards and down to the ice.

But I get being hyper vigilant against anything that looks like a play which hurt a guy in the past.

you could be right, maybe Im just having flashbacks of Knies getting hurt lol

 

[PaulD]

none that lead to the game tying and game winning goals though. there were moments where no matter what happened nothing was being called for both sides and it ended up being at very key moments. I can live with it though. I just find it frustrating that that same move that hurt Knies last year happened again and for the 2nd time no call.


I hope so but didnt they just extend Keefe?

how many years did Babs have left when he was replaced

 

[Arthur Morgan]

how many years did Babs have left when he was replaced

that was cause he was a bad look for the organization hes prob off the books now so it makes firing Keefe less bothering atleast. f Babs is still on the books then I cant imagine they are quick to fire and have 3 coaches on the books.

I think I seen MLSE has a new CEO so maybe changes are coming no matter what

I've had plenty of good discussions with fellow Leafs fans. And I like to think many Leafs fans would say the same about the Bruins faithful. You just gotta know where to look . . and it's not here.

My experience differs from yours, where else do you propose we fans discuss this?

 

[Bouboumaster]

I hate both teams

I probably hate Boston the most between those two

But I have to say, I wish they take out the Leafs, because of all the lulz this would do

 

[Just Rude]

Meh. I've got quite a few friends who are B's fans. Banter aside, Boston fans are some of the most level-headed, passionate fans there are. Fans talk shit. It happens.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Wouldn’t surprise me if Bruins lose the series due to sticking to the rotation.

 

[nbwingsfan]

It's a monumental blow, especially when you couple it with the loss of Bobby McMann

The Leafs are struggling to score (what else is new) and are missing two of their best goal-scorers. It's tough to overcome that unless AM34 carries us every game

The problem here is that a guy who had 15G is a “major blow” to you team.
That’s some serious depth issues if Bobby McMann being out hurts you that badly

Amateur…..everyone else will be showing up that way for the start of the game.
