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

[Bread and Circuses]

Save your hearts folks we're not getting past the Panthers with this moron at the helm.

The Panthers will steamroll what we saw tonight, and also will beat the piss out of the best we’ve seen from either of these teams so far.

Maurice is watching these games with a resting heart rate and giant smile.

Why the f*** couldnt they just come out big and confident in the 1st? wtf was that period, one of the worst ive ever seen. Gave the leafs so much life.

 

[Maine Fan]

Monty is 0 and 4 in close out games. Wild.

WOW if that Stat is correct.

 

[TD Charlie]

The game 5 curse lives on. What an atrocious effort by everybody not named Jeremy

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Just watched the GWG goal again. Yes Gryz gets outmuscled by Tavares too easily, but you also have McAvoy and Coyle both drifting in towards the net with their backs completely to the open ice, guarding nothing but space. Fair enough for one to be covering the low slot, but both is blown coverage and bad communication. And just before that you have a cross-ice pass from Coyle to Marchand that fails to connect under zero pressure, and the same two forwards both blew good chances to score earlier in the period.

Not trying to cover for Gryz - his substandard playoff record is well-established. More to make the point that there's plenty of blame to go around. Too many guys, from the top down, not thinking clearly and making avoidable mistakes. The mental issues are collective.

 

[BTO]

If we cannot dispose of the Leafs, the Panthers will kill us if we make it to the next round.

I could care less about f***ing Florida right now. It's the leafs I hate.

 

[Sheppy]

If the team played half as good as Swayman, they’d win this game.

 

[Coach Parker]

Here come the Marner like fan opinions.

Tough 1st, and it was close the rest of the way. Leaf's played the best they could, and they squealed it out.

Bruin's up 3-2, and sure they'll play much better next game.

Why? What has this current team ever shown you that makes you think they can close out a series?

 

[BamBamCam]

Grizz gets the blame tonight but it was actually McAvoy puck watching instead of covering Knies

 

[Gordoff]

1 PP after Keefe called the refs out

Yes, and all chrome dome complained about was 3 days in Toronto. Dipshit.

 

[bigbadbruins1]

Why does Monty always have to **** with the lineup? Why did he put Brazeau back in? the team was playing just fine, but here comes Master Monty and changes the mojo of the team.

Leaves in the goalie like he should, but just had to make a change so he swapped Brazeau back in.... and who looked rusty and like he didn't belong? Brazeau.

Now this much is true. I figured if we faced Florida, it was Florida in 5 regardless.

 

[Zillah]

The Bruins came to the ice at home, with their fans in the stands, winning the series 3-1 and proceeded to play the first two periods very uptight. What is that about?

What happens when they touch the ice in Toronto and things are reversed?


Are we heading home for a game 7?

Im canceling my Saturday plans . Once again this team has broken me . I fall for it every time like Charlie Brown and the football .

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Monty is 0 and 4 in close out games. Wild.

He won his first w the Stars. Then blew a 3-2 lead with the Stars vs St Louis, 3-1 vs Florida last year and then this game, so 6 in a row. They are not losing this series tho

 

[Walkenthewalk]

Pathetic home playoff performance against an inferior opponent yet again sigh. They let Sway down big time.

 

[Widdlez]

Instead of winning the series we're looking at a team who just last season blew a 3-1 series lead walking into one of the loudest buildings in the playoffs (how f***ing pathetic was the garden tonight? yeesh) down their best shut down defenseman with the leafs getting a 70 goal scorer back.

I don't understand the finger wagging about doom and gloom, this team shouldnt have earned anyone any confidence and whenever they do the coach makes a baffling line up decision that directly affects the game.

not feeling great about it! sorry!

 

[mar2kbos]

And yet — somehow — I'm surprised it's only 5 straight.

It seems whether they are trying to close a series, or prevent a end of series they lose way more than they win.

 

[TD Charlie]

For nothing. I am sweaty for no reason.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

One more thing before I leave to preserve my sanity.

I don't trust Pastrnak to be an impact player in any sort of playoff run. Even when he puts in the work, he gets his ass absolutely kicked physically and struggles. The rest of the time he's a non-factor.

I wish he was a bigger part of this series. Not having him perform like a star just adds weight to others.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

What are the NESN ball washers saying?
I'm hoping someone asks Monty some real questions

I heard the post game. Not much as usual

 

[PaulD]

Whole game seemed like it was Toronto and Boston trying to convince each other to go win the game.

Just ugly all around

worst player off game I've ever seen .....strange

 

[The don godfather]

A little rest and new game plan for game 6 can do wonders.

 

[Sheppy]

We didnt lose because of monty . We lost because jake couldn't bury A elite chances . He had 2 of them.

Yes. Jakes fault.

Imagine thinking this.

 

[Maine Fan]

Im canceling my Saturday plans . Once again this team has broken me . I fall for it every time like Charlie Brown and the football .

I know.

 

[pgm16]

Gotta play more than 25 minutes to win a game in the playoffs.
