ECQF GAME 2 7:41 PM - (WC2) Florida Panthers @ (A1) BOSTON BRUINS - Boston leads series 1-0 - ESPN, ESPN+, CBC, SN, TVAS

Peaking? They barely made the playoffs.

they were something like 12 points behind at Christmas

 

[ffh]

Lose 1 game and the sky is falling. I guess if you win 60-something regular season games, anything short of a 16-0 playoff run is considered a failure

They played bad both games. At home.

I am surprised to see you posting this. Truly.

Florida charges around hitting but led by Tkachuk cannot be on the receiving end without tantrums of their own.

Florida plays like the bruins of old. They're sh* disturbers, scrums after the whistle, fast forechecking team. They're definitely not as talented but all that sideshow crap is enough to get bos off their game. This was a horrible matchup. If boston was smart they wouldn't get sucked into that nonsense but they can't help themselves.

 

[Horton Hears A Woo]

Enjoy the L Boston

Lol enjoy wining one game. Will see you in Florida.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Can we not f***ing do this please? Our fan base should be over the moon we took a game off them, and without maybe the best defensive forward to ever do it.

Why care about mediocrity? Expect the best. Panthers have clearly been the better team, but like I said Bergeron coming back will obviously make a difference. Settle down.

6-1-1 in their last 8 to finish the regular season.

Impressive levels of copium here

That’s been his shtick for years. I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve seen him credit the team the Bruins are playing. It’s cringe but we all gotta find ways of dealing I suppose.

Anything can happen in the playoffs relax guys. I remember 2nd round tickets were already printed in Toronto with them having a 4 to 1 lead with like 10 min left in a game 7 in the first round only for us to reach the 2013 cup final. Relax....

 

[behemolari]

Like a good pillow

I will call by pillow Bruins from now

They avoided it all last game and this game until it was a blow out. At least there was an albeit timid response. Toronto last night did nothing in the 3rd.

Teams always push back at the end of a blow out loss, in the playoffs. Message sending.

If anything Florida should be more proud the Bruins felt they deserved it.

I respect his sportsmanship in trying to level the playing field with a healthy jinx vs. a president's trophy curse.

 

[Bounces R Way]

nice game from the Panthers. Not so much from the Bruins.
Pasta has to get it going soon here

 

[The don godfather]

If you want to play like ass game 2 of a series isnt a bad one to do it. Just gonna clean it up back there.

 

[Bruin]

6-1-1 in their last 8 to finish the regular season.

Boston was 15-1 to finish the season, what’s your point?

Trust me I know lmao

Bruins scored most of Florida's goals tonight. Self inflicted.

Florida needs to toughen up. Can only charge into hits and stick work behind the play but not at all interested in receiving.

All due respect but I think you're not giving our offense enough credit tbh. This is still a team that has half the roster that made it the best offense in the regular season last year, and we are also one of only 2 teams to have a 50/50 record with you

And honestly we can say the same for some of your goals. Duclair giveaway, Lyon softie in game 1, etc.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

6-1-1 in their last 8 to finish the regular season.

Boston averaged 5-1-1 the entire season.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Florida wants it more, man.

I was nervous as hell before this series and most people thought the Cats would be an easy walk for the Bruins. I didn’t like the match up.

Bruins absolutely need to take one in Florida.

Florida had a good game, despite giving up a shorty, no reason for Bruins fans to get catastrophic. We've got a series

 

[Sharkbomb]

Peaking? They barely made the playoffs.

And yet, they outplayed the supposedly historically good President's Trophy winning team in the first two playoff games while playing on the road.

 

[GG96]

Nosek should have been tossed and probably suspended for one. He threw a chicken wing at Staal.

 

[Bruin]

And yet, they outplayed the supposedly historically good President's Trophy winning team in the first two playoff games while playing on the road.

And still lost game 1.

Bruins defense a complete 180 from the norm - turnover after turnover. That's the outlier. Celtics playing in the same building really destroys the ice but again, the Bruins are accustomed to this.

The Bruins owner is an embarrassment and cheap to not invest in reasonable ice however. Hurts both teams.

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

Florida is a nightmare #8 seed. The sort of #8 seed that is peaking at the right time and that has been playing playoff hockey for weeks. The opposite to Winnipeg, the #8 seed that ran out of time to fully collapse.

You do realize Winnipeg finished the season 7w-3L with the last loss having all the big guns sitting out right? They went 5 for 6 on the 6 game home stand at the end as well. Plus it seemed to me last night that they were peaking at the perfect time.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Boston averaged 5-1-1 the entire season.

Yet they were 2 and 2 vs. the Cats. Hopefully, this is a fun series, whoever wins

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Boston was 15-1 to finish the season, what’s your point?

I am going to go back step by step to spell this out for you: The discussion was whether or not Florida got hot and peaked going into the playoffs, and this poster pointed out that the Panthers went 6-1-1 in the team's last eight games.

His point was providing evidence that the Panthers got hot and peaked going into the playoffs. Hope this helps.
