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

[JOKER 192]

He's either betting against the B's or has the IQ of a flea

Or both

 

[Braunbaer]

The Bruins have now lost 11 of their last 13 home playoff games that went to OT dating all the way back to game 4 against Chicago in the Finals in 2013.

The only 2 victories came in game 1 against the Blue Jackets in round 2 in 2019 and in game 3 against the Capitals in round 1 in 2021.

 

[The don godfather]

Jake usually pots those in . I'm so hurt still. Darn!!

 

[trenton1]

I can't wait to have a number one center again.

Coyle has overachieved his way nicely into the top 6. Zacha is just a wing. Beecher should be in getting experience instead of having two aircraft carriers with Boqvist.

I don't get the Brazeau thing at all. Good player or whatever but he didn't earn his way into this and Beecher didn't fumble his way out. Part of the reason they went with college boy Monty was to avoid dumbshit decisions like this on young players.

 

[TD Charlie]

I’m honestly most upset on behalf of jack edwards. Dude deserved to ride off into the sunset at home on a high note. Sure they get another crack at giving him a positive send off on Thursday, but it’s just not the same and i don’t trust them to do it anyway

Alarming and a cause for concern.

 

[khanomcat]

Just not good enough. Right from the opening no faceoff. Leafs wanted it more. Really wanted this to end today.

 

[xStanleyCupsFor]

Any coach ever fired in the playoffs??

Just give the team to Sacco, can't get any worse than this fool behind the bench

 

[BTO]

Who had leafs in 5 or bruins in 5 anyways?

Bruins in 6!

 

[Boston Bandit]

We are forgetting this is Toronto.

Relax.

Bring on the next game.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Some of the things that annoyed us this season showed up tonight:

Very slow start

Losing majority of face offs

Having trouble getting the puck out of the zone

Hope we are better Thursday. TO still can be beaten

 

[Number8]

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

Probably because they didn’t expect Gryz to absolutely hamburger that play. Tavares beat Gryz to the step, Gryz took wrong angle, then got overpowered like me slam dunking a five year old on a Nerf hoop.

So in fairness to 74 and 13, even I didn’t expect him to get beat so bad. I’ve seen mules treated better.

 

[Rydan]

was thinking bruins in 6... but this game was such a waste...scoring 1 goal is just bad.

 

[PaulD]

They sucked tonight Don !!!
Come on, if it wasn't for Swayman there wouldn't of been any overtime ! Actually the Leafs weren't much better, but they were better than the Bruins by a mile, just shows U how bad the Bruins were. This was one of the worst playoff games, if not the worst I've ever watched.

What is concerning for Boston is not that the Bruins were bad. What is concerning is that the Leafs were bad. And won....in Boston.

Not a terrible play by Gryz. Doesn't let him get to the front of the net, Tavares at a bad angle on the backhand. It's a low percentage play for Tavares. Mac and Coyle puck watching.

 

[BTO]

Need puck luck to win. Remember ryder? Hockey is a game of inches going your way or not. Sometimes you blow up your opponent but in a series it's very hard. Bruins destroyed leafs in 3 and 4 and had a close one tonight.

Nylander hit the crossbar too. Will wins over luck in my book.

Gryz is not NHL caliber. That is on full display every spring. He looked like someones son out there playing with the dads.
Monty is a moron and a poser.
Dallas cut him loose for good reason.
After watching him .....I know enough now that in any series I would bet on team that doesn't have him as coach.

 

[BTO]

What I'm most upset about is only scoring one goal on Joseph Woll, and that goal being a fluke anyway. Literally the worst goalie in the league.

We've seen that movie before too. Luckily they have another shot at him Thursday. Assuming they actually shoot at him.

So I guess he stones them the next couple games

 

[22Brad Park]

Nah.

Brazeau played well.

No issue with Brasseau but missed Beechers speed.Lineup changed alot with 2 changes .Grizz created an issue with left shot on wrong side.A couple times I saw puck come out along wall to blueline and Bruins D man there on backhand waiting with no play but try to backhand it back deep.

 

[sarge88]

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

Marchand too.

yup.
either team gets destroyed by Panthers . Much as I hate the Leafs and their media , ide like it be them that gets slaughtered in a sweep by Florida.
Bruins are giving them some fake cred here.

yup. Monty doesn't even know what you're talking about

 

[GloveSave1]

No word on Carlo, I imagine?

Dallas cut him loose over booze.He even mentioned it getting COY award he got

Bruins had nothing going in game 3 until their goalie let in a softie at the end of the second period.
