BRUINS GDT ECQF GAME 1 7:08 PM - BRUINS at Whalercanes - NESN, ESPN, SN360, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[AngryMilkcrates]

Yep. News Flash, we aren’t going 16-0 in the playoffs…..act like you’ve f***ing been here before. If the stress is too much, go watch baseball….

We looked horrible against Montreal in the first round of 2011

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Apparently Toronto's coach used their time out in the 2nd period.

And they are WINNING.

Bruce take a note.

We’re going to stay on topic in this thread and discuss the game being played.

If you want to discuss specific stakeholders or macro level issues, use a dedicated thread.

There will be zero tolerance for thread hijacking here.

Gryz needs to sit. Canes are already in his head before the end of game 1....

 

[TD Charlie]

Bruins were out playing this team for the majority of the game, and then missed multiple wide open nets in a 30 second period.

Two fluke point shots it is what it is. Still a decent road game for the Bruins. If McAvoy had hit that wide open net we’d all be saying what a good road game it is. This Carolina team is so beatable.

They haven’t been bad. They’ve just been predictable. I’d love to see a heat map of bodies in front of each goalie. I’d imagine Ullmarks end would be smoking and Raantas crease a nice cool blue

 

[Cam14b]

A decent two periods. 48 is dragging down 25 tonight and our first PP unit is a momentum killer. Too many one on three entries by 88 and the ghost of 63.

4th line attacking the crease. 3rd line constantly pinned in their own end.

Need more from the 3rd line and gotta hope 63 and 37 find something. 74 is best player on that line.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Raanta horseshoe.

Two great bounces on deflected goal and puck with eyes through everyone for their two goals.

Puck certainly going jerks way.

I feel a big 3rd is coming.

Enjoy Bruins fans.

 

[xjoeyc23x]

Long long shift on the first goal by Lindholm and Mcavoy. Leads to a goal which leads to a change in momentum.

 

[Mad Dr Pepper]

Yes! Embrace the dark side! Good, good.

That game is over!
The series is over!
We won't score a goal in 4 games!
That team ia doo doo!

....

Am I a Sith apprentice now?

 

[NDiesel]

Maybe its the zero 5v5 goals in the past 11 periods vs this team?

Ranta sucks, no chance they win this series with him

Plenty of valid concerns, but lets panic if the team is down 3-0 in the series, not 2-0 in one game

 

[Bs1011]

I like Gryz but he needs to provide elite offense for his defensive deficiencies and he just doesn’t do it.

 

[JerseyBruin]

Holy shit

How is everyone quitting on this team after 2 periods

This is one of the most embarrassing gdt I’ve read in my 16 years here

I had to check to see if this was the Leafs board.

 

[JCRO]

Raanta horseshoe.

Two great bounces on deflected goal and puck with eyes through everyone for their two goals.

Puck certainly going jerks way.

I feel a big 3rd is coming.

Enjoy Bruins fans.

Quoting for positive vibes.

 

[The National]

They’re not out of it. Goalie is shaky they should be able to take advantage of it. If you can’t beat this guy how are you gonna beat the starter.

 

[CAW1313]

I swear some fans want the Bruins to lose so they can jump on immediately and start the bashing. Jesus Christ, are some of you really fans? I get the frustration and we know the Bruins deficiencies but my god some of you love to pile on. SMH!!!!!

 

[Cronuss]

Losing to Canes for exact same reasons the lost to Islanders. Coach and strategy needs to change. Maybe they can't or maybe its too late.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Lol tampa

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

I wouldn't be as worried if I hadn't seen this song and dance from the team for a good # of games this season.

The bruins already struggled to score relative to other top playoff teams all season. In the playoffs scoring only gets harder to do.

They weren't magically going to become a team that scores at will in the POs. We have seen this team pile up shots and still struggle to get one on the board at times.

 

[13Hockey]

Thhis game reminds me a lot of game 1 vs Washington last year

 

[Yeti34]

Forwards look tentative. Slow on the forecheck. 2nd line looks like a 3rd line and the 3rd line looks like the 4th.

 

[Clode]

Leafs up 3, Tampa is sleepwalking.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Leafs just won the Cup!!!!

 

[Bridges31]

No, he just stinks

That too but an absolutely bitch move letting the Carolina player get the inside position in the corner.

He deserves to sit at this point. Josh Brown would be an improvement.

 

[Gnome17]

Toronto is winning their Stanley Cup tonight. I hope they remember this night fondly when Tampa beats them in 6 or 7.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Hit everything that moves, wear them down.
