ECQF GAME 5 7:11 PM - Florida Panthers @ BOSTON BRUINS- ESPN, ESPN+, CBC, SN, TVAS - Boston leads series 3-1

[Pi]

Sometimes you get goalied.

Boston got goalied by their own goalie and Florida's goalie. This game was in the bag. Ullmark gave up some softies.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Yeah but ILLMARK is overrated and just has his stat elevated behind that president trophy Bruins team. Play Martin or Delia in net and Boston still makes the playoffs lol

Nobody really thought differently, but given the reasons for his elevation, does Swayman do better? The Cats won one they shouldn't have, despite Bob not knowing where the puck is again.

 

[93gilmour93]

Marchand will see that breakaway at the end of the 3rd period in his dreams tonight

 

[PromisedLand]

Don't know about that but I am sure Ullmark is going to have a sleepless night because Tkachuk is the one who scored on him.

because of his own mistaken.

ullmark's sv% was terrible tonight; if he gives up a goal early in gm 6 he is going to get nervous and fold. he ain't a vet with nerves of steel

 

[Necrobutcher]

Bobrovsky did NOTHING. Bruins had opportunities and effed up most of them. Very few difficult saves.

44 saves is hardly NOTHING. He was solid for sure.

Did you see Marchand's goal tonight?

 

[jackjohnson]

Aside from the OT blunder. Ullmark has been more than adequate. You may be selling a narrative no one is buying...

He is not that great. Put him on another team like Canucks and he will get lit like the sky during 4th of July. Boston would sweep Panthers if Demko was in their net.

 

[Coffey]

I’m legit so happy for the panthers. Always love the underdogs (unless they are Casucks or Phlegms)

Wonder if Swayman draws in for Game 6. .840SV% in a close out game when the team in front of you got 40+ shots on the other goalie isn't ideal and Boston always talks about them as 1A/1B.

I'd go back with Ullmark because I think Bobrovsky is just as prone to have a game like Ullmark did tonight.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

44 saves is hardly NOTHING. He was solid for sure.

Most were muffins or shot right at him. He was decent but the Bruins weren't.

 

[leafsfan5]

Bobrovsky vs 60 win teams

who you got?

 

[Pi]

Did you see Marchand's goal tonight?

Yeah, Bobrovsky locked it in after that though, can't really blame him on the Bergeron tip or Hall's shot.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

I agree just don't get the narrative that thus series is in the bag if the Bruins don't make mistakes. That's the case with any team.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Most were muffins or shot right at him. He was decent but the Bruins weren't.

So is that Bob's problem or the muffin servers' problem?

 

[Hockeyholic]

Marchand will see that breakaway at the end of the 3rd period in his dreams tonight

Especially if they blow this series.

Yikes....

 

[Rompane]

I dont trust Ullmark at all. Boston fans liked to shit on Rask but he would not have made that mistake.

he's had 2 stinkers and 3 good games. gm4 was teh weirdest game of the series. panthers IMO outplayed and outshot boston but manage to lose the game. panthers also hit i dont now like 3 to 4 posts in that game.

If ullmark is beat early he is going to start to manic IMO

 

[Hank Plank]

Just when you think the Calgary Flames organization can't look any worse.

 

[Hockeyholic]

I agree just don't get the narrative that thus series is in the bag if the Bruins don't make mistakes. That's the case with any team.

I think people mean if the Bruins are at their best, Florida won't win the series.

But that's usually the case when a huge underdog plays a favorite. If the favorite plays to their best abilities, the underdog usually won't win.

But no team plays great all the time.

True, I think Florida has played Boston at about 45-55 in this series. If they can win Game 6 with Barkov scoring, that would be a huge boost. Then you're leaning on experience and Bobrovsky has way more of that than Ullmark.

 

[KPower]

Bob> ullmark the system goalie

 

[ShameOnYouZidlicky]

Lol at Tkachuk celebrating as if he won the series. Will look even funnier when his team is knocked out in a few days.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Lol at Tkachuk celebrating as if he won the series. Will look even funnier when his team is knocked out in a few days.

He was celebrating like he won game 5 and staved off elimination.

 

[HanSolo]

I'm convinced Boston will still win the series but hilarious all the people who say they'd rather have Brady because he's more of the mold to be a good postseason player. And I say this as someone who doesn't particularly like Matthew Tkachuk.

 

[Rompane]

Tkachuk is like new Marchand. He is one of the best players of the league but people have hard time to aknowledge him because they dont like him.
