ECQF GAME 7 6:41 PM - Florida Panthers (WC2) @ Boston Bruins (A1) Winner will play Toronto in May - TNT, CBC, SN, TVAS

[PatriceBergeronFan]

I fully expect Boston to win but the complete arrogance of their fans and lack of respect for how well Florida has played them is annoying. Gonna be funny, if in the unlikely chance Florida pulls this off, it will be the same narrative when the Cats play Toronto.

If reality comes across as arrogance, enjoy the outrage.

The Bruins must simplify tonight and not have primary assist own goals in this game. The odds would then be highly favorable.

Bruins play the same timid style in their own zone and it will be yet another choke for the 2010+ roster's legacy, a true shame for Bergeron who is perfection in every way.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

lol buddy, I've been an away fan at pretty much every stadium in the NE US; I can trust you that I've never seen such disrespect or foul behavior. Heck, a few Boston fans were escorted out.

I learned what a "masshole" was attending those games and frankly will enjoy see Boston losing for the rest of my life.

It's one thing to be a passionate fan; it's another thing to be a complete ape in an away stadium.

Words are easy to type.

I just asked my cat Bruin if hes going to have some good luck for me tonight. He stretched out and wanted belly rubs. I think this is a positive sign.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Bruins have all the pressure on them. I will admit I didn't think they had the balls to start Swaymen so them doing so is a big plus. However he also hasn't played recently and if the Panthers start strong, they can put the Bruins down a few early.

I think the Bruins are done. Cooked like dinner. They don't have it in them to win this game after how hard they played all year, the Panthers are younger and hungrier. Bob is in his CBJ beating Tampa form and will do it again.

Go Panthers!! See y'all in the next round.

Daresay you as a Leafs fan are projecting your own hope for an easier round 2 opponent! Many would, myself included.

Bobrosky is at .883 and has won 2 of 3, which shows how colossally awful Ullmark has been. Swayman just has to not crap his pants. I’m a sucker for punishment, I hope it goes to OT. Nothing in sports comes close to Game 7 overtime in the NHL.

That sounds like submitting behavior

Bruins getting crushed tonight because of your cat

Two things:

1. Civil between fanbases, but most of us Panthers HFBOARDs fans haven't seen any compliments or appreciation for Florida by Boston fans in mainboard threads. It's all Ullmark sucks yada yada, not oh this is a team that split the season series and is playing well.
2. Many of us went to games 3 and 4 where the behavior of (some) Boston fans was digusting in terms of cursing, physical confrontation and generic tomfollery. I've never seen away fans act like that before in any stadium I've been in.

In Philadelphia, that’s called “preseason atmosphere.”

In Philadelphia, that’s called “preseason atmosphere.”

To be honest, I went to flyers games often when they lived there: never saw anything like what I saw in Florida. Fans were annoying at time but not incessantly belligerent and vulgar when I went.

Words are easy to type.

Eh, that was my experience: im sure not all Boston fans are that way, but there’s a reason why the panthers upper the police presence game 6

First goal - Bertuzzi

 

[BlueOil]

good luck swayman, career defining game tonight, talk about pressure

 

[hockeykicker]

swayman leads team out

 

[Strangle]

Daresay you as a Leafs fan are projecting your own hope for an easier round 2 opponent! Many would, myself included.

Also would love for the bruins to choke away a historic season and a 3-1 series lead against an opponent they should beat.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving team or fanbase, in my opinion

I'm still shocked we took it to game 7. I expected bruins to take it in 5, 6 if everything went right for us.

Incredibly proud of most of the team regardless of the outcome because it was a much better effort than either of our series last year, and against a record breaking team no less. This is the most pumped I've been for a playoff game in a long time, let's go!!!

Yeah, when I lived in Philly, never had that experience. I was warned about wearing Panthers gear, but everyone was nice, and, for me, a bit not involved in the game.

 

[johnnybbadd]

The Sportsnet panel wants the Bruins to lose so badly lol. They aren’t even hiding it.

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Do or die time for the Bruins. They either slay the dragon or become the biggest choke artists in hockey history.

Oh snap you're right. I just threw him out the window!

 

[BMOK33]

This is a game where BOS probably goes up 3, 4 or 5-0 fairly quick in my mind. If they do not though and this thing is still tight midway through the 2nd the money will start coming in hard on Florida

I doubt it, Florida has all the momentum and has already won 2 out of 3 on the road. I think it'll be a close game throughout. Coin toss who comes out victorious

 

[Boston Bandit]

Go Bruins!

[Pablo El Perro]

Hoping to hear that trademark 'Let's go home baby' which is true regardless of the outcome.

 

[DangleCity]

Sway in for the shut out tonight

 

[Enniskillen]

Cats beating bruins is always a pleasant sight. And hit geriatric ward leaders of bruins into obscurity.
