Post-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 5 - BACK TO TORONTO - Leafs 2 BRUINS 1 F/OT - Boston leads series 3-2

[Lordstanley]

I hate waking up after an ugly playoff loss and going to fuvking work.... Good night good people....I hate the Leaf Blowers

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Just like winning two big games in Florida LY……..

Unreal

it’s just gonna be a re run of last year I think

 

[Carl Hungus]

That reminds me of the time I threw a rock at the UPS driver when I was 12 as he drove by. He screeched to a halt, backed up, turned up my driveway, and tattled on me to my mom in the front yard.

No meth though.

When I was that age my neighbor told me about a kid who threw a snowball at a UPS guy's windshield during a snow day. He screeched to a halt, but instead of tattling he punched the kid in the face, and drove away

Now that I think about it, probably a story his parents told him because they knew we were morons who would try something like that eventually

 

[The don godfather]

Like did Beecher have some sort of disaster of a game I didn’t watch that warranted being scratched? I’m genuinely curious.

Brazzeau played well I thought.

 

[TD Charlie]

Still waiting for Pastrnak, Coyle, or Zacha to do the unthinkable and have a dominant and productive game. If any one of them pulls it off they win running away

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Marchand was 2 for 2 & Freddy 3 of 6 for 50% .rest all brutal

I think even Pasta has been more successful at FO’s then the natural C’a

 

[Sheppy]

Brazzeau played well I thought.

And I thought Beecher was fine in every game he’s played in. You know, the ones the Bruins won.

 

[Gordoff]

The whole team needs their T levels checked or a sports psychologist to figure out why they forget how to play hockey in any game that has meaning. Top guys turn into AHL scrubs for the 2nd year in a row it’s odd, or is it the 3rd? Grown men in their prime should have higher compete levels.

The man buns should be shaved off before the playoffs. YUCKO

 

[JOKER 192]

To be fair, I'm pretty sure every team does that.

These guys literally play sports for a job. They're going to keep doing things that you and I stopped doing once we realized we weren't going pro some time in middle school.

I hope you're wrong.

 

[TCB]

Grizz took the wrong angle and then got outpowered by Tavares, but Coyle and McAvoy were both out to lunch on the play.

 

[DoubleBack]

Under Monty

this is insane.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Brazzeau played well I thought.

Yeah he just has no finish…….like some other guys……but he’s got plenty of heart which is awesome

 

[The don godfather]

And I thought Beecher was fine in every game he’s played in. You know, the ones the Bruins won.

We were a crossbar away winning this tonight. Just bad luck tonight.

 

[trenton1]

you gotta be kidding.
pasta and zacha have been invisible. coach is making weird lineup changes.
when they lose thursday, there is no way anyone can be confident in this bruins group winning a game 7 on home ice.
they will come out flatter than today.

Zacha is a wing. He better be back there next season.

Yup ,sleeping bigtime..

 

[GordonHowe]

It's not the entire reason they lost, but, just, wow. There was no reason for the changes. I've never heard of a coach just swapping out two players after winning two in a row in the playoffs. It's just roulette-wheel garbage. A weak effort is always on the players, but Monty can f*** off with this type of tinkering.

I promised not to pile on.

Even so, agreed.

 

[McGarnagle]

What's funny is that both fanbases have to be thinking the same thing right now: "I'm not falling for this again, I know how this ends"

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

The main goal next game needs to be get everything on net

Kind of deceiving. First off, McAvoy is looking back and secondly, they have to anticipate the possibility that Gryz actually does force him around the net and they need to challenge Tavares on the other side whether it be a wrap around or a pass back to the point.

Gryz is a defenseman. As bad as he can be, one should be able to expect that he does some type of defending to disrupt the play. Unfortunately, he ended up being a total pedestrian on that play.

And for the record, I think he's actually shying away from physicality less in these two games that he has played than he has in the past during the playoffs. But he still is such a weak player to have on the back end whatever way you slice it. It's like Marc-Andre Bergeron with far less production. It's a risk in the defensive zone every single shift. The best thing you can hope for every shift is that it never comes down to a 1-on-1 like this because Gryz loses that almost every time.

 

[Gordoff]

And in the last minute of regulation.

This isn't fantasy land.

Like Marchy said " history has no bearing on the future".

History is repeating itself in self fulfilling prophecy.

 

[Sheppy]

We were a crossbar away winning this tonight. Just bad luck tonight.

And we were a faceoff win away from coming away with any sort of possession.

 

[Carl Hungus]

It's a choke off, if we blow this again we're the new leafs

My aunt had nuts, she be my uncle Donny.Close only good in horseshoes,hand grenades & shitfights.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

No we had to take him out so we could lose game 5 and stink at faceoffs.

Trust The Monty!!!!

 

[The don godfather]

And we were a faceoff win away from coming away with any sort of possession.

Overall shep team has played well in this series. Were up 3 to 2 lets see what they got.
