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

[RoccoF14]

I knew somebody would come back with the Bergy, Krejci thing

The lesson that was not learned last year from Mr. Montgomery, is that you "do not replace healthy players who are winning games in the playoffs with players who are coming off injuries and are not 100%" (unless you absolutely have to).....but they did not absolutely have to, and it actually screwed up the chemistry they had going from games 3 & 4 which eventually cost the Bruins the series

That's the lesson that should've been learned by Monty....but he ignored it, because he never seems to learn from his f**king mistakes

He has shown me that he is not a good playoff coach, and is unwilling to learn from previous mistakes. Putting Gryz in the lineup was another mistake

If I was owner of the Bruins, I'd seriously consider firing him.....TONIGHT

So if you're Sheldon Keefe, are you sitting Matthews on Thursday too?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.....

I would have a little fortune when o Reilly was available in free agency. You need

Maybe Neely is involved here now in terms of having a talk with monty. I mean the stakes are huge after what happened last year. Just a gut feeling.

Have to think that Sweeney would have conversations about the lineup too

 

[Maine Fan]

It doesn’t matter though. Just a game played by guys being paid to do so

So right you are.

 

[TD Charlie]

Not being able to close out a series doesn’t matter?

No no. You said “both of these teams would get smoked by Florida.”

It just doesn’t matter. They’re not playing Florida right now. There’s no reason to care about Florida.

 

[Carl Hungus]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.....

Are you comparing Justin Brazzeau to Auston Matthews?

They cant afford another debacle like last year. No friggin way. This is red alert stuff now.

That's Monty's playbook, even a meh coach like Keefe can figure that out.

 

[The don godfather]

3 to 2 series lead for us. Let's go!

 

[Coach Parker]

They cant afford another debacle like last year. No friggin way. This is red alert stuff now.

They lose a lot more than just fans if they lose this series. They lose any ‘culture’ talk and it would now be a 100% culture of chokers.

Oh it will be apocalypse if that happens again. They playing for that B on the chest now.

 

[Coach Parker]

I fully expect this team to be carved by the Boston media that care tonight and tomorrow the way the Leafs were after their pathetic effort at home.

Choke after record-breaking year and then follow it up with choke in centennial? Yeah, it’ll push them down to a dark place for the next decade with fans and the city.

I just watched Vancouver downward spiral for 9 years. It’s quick and difficult to break out of.

And without an answer at center on the horizon, that’s tough sledding

 

[Grasshopperking]

I'm so sick of this. Every. Single. Year.

Just close it out!

Lindholm should sit. What a dopey player.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

And without an answer at center on the horizon, that’s tough sledding

Unfortunately replacing a part of Bergeron each year with the latest and greatest cybernetics advancements couldnt last forever.

 

[dredeye]

this feels so much like last year it's scary. Up 3-1 and they put in a new goalie as a last ditch effort and we can't score anymore. 2 shots in the first is just unnaceptable

 

[Coach Parker]

And without an answer at center on the horizon, that’s tough sledding

Yeah, not gonna lie, was tough watching Hertl go to Vegas.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Are you comparing Justin Brazzeau to Auston Matthews?

I think the Boston players in the argument were Bergy and Krejci.

 

[Coach Parker]

17 games without a goal Zacha. 0 playoffs goals is costing the Bruins multiple series' now. Step up Pavel.

 

[The don godfather]

Bobby orr should come in the dressing room game 6 for inspiration . If I'm bruins management I'm doing everything to light a fire up the arse of the team.

Yeah he’s been disappointing to put it lightly, sometimes he just flings pucks wherever and it’s like I know there isn’t much time out there but surely his awareness isn’t this bad?

If professional hockey players can’t find the motivation to beat their main rival for each other Bobby Orr isn’t gonna change anything.

I'm desperate. I cant mentally take another collapse. I haven't been over last years yet. Good news we still up 3 to 2. I keep repeating that to myself .

 

[JOKER 192]

Noooooo

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

I’m with you Don, I just think it’s time for players like Mac, Pasta, Zacha, Coyle, Lindholm, and Debrusk to dig deep and earn it not expect one of the GOATS to give them a magic pill of advice. Your optimistic outlook will be needed here for game 6. If Mac really wants to be the next C this is the time he needs to take the role someone like Bergy or Marchy once did and help deliver to save the team.

 

[bobbyorr04]

So if you're Sheldon Keefe, are you sitting Matthews on Thursday too?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.....

If he's not 100% I'd sit him out and keep the same lineup they had tonight

..but that's a different situation from my scenario, since Matthews has already played some playoff games

 

[Olden McGroin]

I sure hope they prove me wrong, but this team doesn't seem to have the killer instinct. A chance to clinch at home, with the other team's best player scratched. When you've got your boot on the snake, you gotta stomp on the head.
