So, our team doesn't win because the whole league is crooked?

Not a great take.

That’s YOUR opinion.

The officiating was putrid in the 2019 Final. True, the Bruins did themselves no favors in Game 7, but the refs definitely were a factor in the outcome of the series.

I’m far from alone in this opinion.

Oooooo… how shrewd.

firm believer all pressure squarely on the Leafs, they are the one`s who have experienced colossal playoff collapses with what many refer to as elite talent in their top 6.

Not that the B`s don`t have pressure but if this Leafs teams goes out and again get bounced, I can see a cleaning of their despicable house

1st Hug out of 16 starts tonight with Swayman leading the charge.

I have three black Bruins jerseys that I keep hung up for display and only take down for the playoffs to wear: Bobby Orr, Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron. Tonight, Orr gets the nod.

Let's go Bruins!!

I would start Sway as well but my gut tells me Ullmark goes game 1

Haha I was going to add Maroon in my initial response but I don't think Domi would stand a chance just based on the sheer difference in size, although Frederic is a pretty big dude as well....deceivingly big...didn't realize he was 215 lbs.

I wear Bobby for elimination games.

yes and not that usual whiffle bat I see ya with all the time on TV

Father in law coming over to watch the game. Typically I prefer watching alone but my step mother in law on the mainland and I didn`t want him sitting at home alone so..........

Pregame meal for us are Fries, Mozza Sticks, Onion Rings , Coconut Shrimp and a few small Pizza`s, that should keep us happy for one period

I don't own a wiffle bat but do have a big wood baseball bat

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Rumor is Sway was first off the ice…

 

[bruinshoper]

All I ever want in the playoffs is for every Bruin to play their hardest every single shift. Regardless of the score, officiating, good bounces/bad bounces, good/bad goaltending for either side, or where the series is at. Just play a strong mental game and grind it every single second you can. You’re not going to win every game, but force the other team to earn the ice.
It makes for enjoyment from my point of view (even a loss).
The series we lost against Chicago was a good example of that. Of course it was a heartbreaker to lose in 7….but it was a great series of great hockey between warriors.


Would I be happy if they won the cup due to lucky bounces, other injuries, without 100% effort, etc…hell yes!!…but “losing” is so much more palatable when the boys ALL pour their guts out.
Oh and play Swayman in game one. Give him a chance to start a series, and show everyone that as a coach you truly believe you have two #1 goalies.

Is it any coincidence that I put this jersey on this child and he immediately started pushing me and instigating?

Bastards.

Now I want the Bruins to not just beat them but to beat the absolute snot out of them

 

[Clode]

Win or lose I can assure you all that I WILL overreact

perfect, I`m sure security has zero issues with wood bats, maybe aluminum but not wood Hope you have an amazing time

It is such a pathetic title for their thread - I hope karma bites them in the ass for making fun of a person with medical issues that are ending their career. Leafs fans suck!

 

[Thirty Seven]

Well let's see what kind of team we got here

The NHL forced a game 7, no question. The Bruins lost game 7.

Shouldn't Marchand be with the team?

He is a cutie

I have been a fan now for 50 years, I'm in a wait and see mode. If they bring their game and make some good first passes out of their zone, then I will dive into the pool once again.

Yeah. Some people apparently don’t realize that.

 

[JCRO]

Potentially no Karlsson to go with no Giordano and Brodie scratched??

Bs need to pounce all over this opportunity
