Post-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 1 - BRUINS 5 Hogtown 1 - Bruins lead series 1-0

[22Brad Park]

Hank is adamant that the Bruins need to ride Swayman

I would this series ,at least for now anyways.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Good game nice start 3 more to go.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

All 5 Bruins goals scored by Sweeney draft picks...6 out of the 9 assists by Bruins draft picks....Oh and the goalie was a Sweeney draft pick as well.

I think Boqvist/Peeke/Geekie/Shattenkirk/Heinen is more impressive.

And I wonder what a Venn diagram of people who gave up on Trent Frederic too early and people who gave up on John Beecher too early would look like. Just a perfect circle?

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Excellent start! Limit mistakes and build on the advantages. Maroon, Lauko, Boqvist, etc. Depth players above and beyond tonight.

 

[NeelyOrr]

Since the trade deadline, Linus has been the better BRUINS' goalie, yet Monty started J-SWAY tonight. He's pretty much committed to this alternate goalie series plan.

But u that lunatic Steve Daigle at the cardiac unit

Ya I’d say that was a pretty sloppy game from Boston, can definitely tighten up

 

[sarge88]

Do Maroon’s 6 hits and assist count?

You know…because, slow.

I edited my post, but he is responsible for all 20 of these players being here at this moment from drafting to trades to extensions to UFA signings.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Idk how much stock you put into those, but I assume lindholm/Carlo had a lot of mins vs matthews/marner

 

[bwunderlich]

Safe to say we won't get outcoached in this series. What was Keifth thinking waiting to pull the tender?

Gryz and Brad made some horrendous plays that Sway saved their bacon.

Stat sheet says JDB only had 5-hits? Dude finished every check. Monster game!!!!

 

[NeelyOrr]

A great goalie is similar to having Bill Russell as your starting center in basketball.

 

[BradMarchandismydad]

Swayman was absolutely lights out, kids got ice in his veins

DeBrusk looked great too. Maroon and Geekie had a lot of great physical moments. That Geekie hit after we were hemmed in the zone for like three mins straight was like a shot of adrenaline to the team.

Overall great effort, love to see us beat the Leafs. Let’s see it three more times!

Shatty was my lowlight of the game. Had some weird judgements, and was lackadaisical at times (didn’t like that non hustle at the blue line to keep the pressure going on that PP)

 

[Guelph Bruin]

one of my favourite moments of the game (other than Maroon pasting Morgan Reilly into the boards then sending Liligren into the B's bench) was when Hockey Night in Canada went to a break playing this song when the Leafs were down 4-0 ...

 

[bobbyorr04]

The problem with Domi doing his rat thing is if no one else is going to get involved whatsoever you end up just being a douche bag.

Domi is comfortable in his role...

..as a douche bag

 

[mar2kbos]

maybe he comes alive more (hope not), but that was to me at least a typical Matthews playoff performance. He just has no other gear for the playoffs and flat out unnoticeable

 

[NeelyOrr]

I still believe Monty should get COY. I also believe DS should get exec of the year.

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

Oh man I love playoff hockey!

This went exactly the way I hoped it would go. Bruins have been gearing up for playoffs and we are finally there and we saw what they can do. I really believe this roster is better constructed for the playoffs. Monty went with the heavy version of the bottom 6 and they dominated. Leafs are top heavy talent wise and if the top lines can play them even we will win this series easily with bottom 6 domination.

Everybody hitting, physical game. Leafs tried to be physical, Domi's a rat, but overall they just aren't very good at it. It's not their game.

Sweeney's deadline deals looking like genius. The Big Rig was outstanding and has filled the Lucic void perfectly. Lauko, Geekie and most of all Beecher all outstanding and they all played heavy. Peeke looks better every game.

I just loved this game beginning to end. Glad Jake is also scoring. We need that.

We all know though, it takes 4 and we've been up before. Keep bringing this though. Keep hitting their D and we will be fine. Better than fine, we will be outstanding.

I noticed that they weren’t really feeding him too much on the PP. He was sitting there absolutely wide open on that 4 on 3. When he was getting shots off they looked very dangerous

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Suuuure.

He's not going to announce his starter throughout the series. Better get used to it.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Gee, who could've guessed you'd get better playoff results going with Swayman...

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

One other point. idk what the goalie plan is, but I'd go "win and you are in" and swap if they lose and so on. Monty might have other ideas.

 

[NeelyOrr]

Why JDB plays so well against Canadian teams is as unexplainable as why Mike Trout has only hit one HR at Fenway for his whole career so far.

 

[08SeaBass08]

My favorite part of Maroon plastering Liljegren into the Bs bench was Lauko face washing Liljegren back out of it.
