ECSF-Florida Panthers vs Boston Bruins (FLA leads 3-2)

[pb1300]

Are the Panthers playing the Leafs or Bruins, because the amount of whining in here by the Bruins fans is Leafs-like.

 

[Meatball]

Go Cats! Here's hoping you guys get your first!


That said, Cats in 7 because Bruins. =/

This series is not close to going 7....Cats in 5

I still think Florida wins this in 5 games especially if Marchand is out for extended time. Swayman had his Cinderella run, he’s let in 10 goals in the last 2 games. He’s come back down to earth and looks very beatable now.

Let in 9, 4 in game 2 before he was pulled, 5 last night, Reinhart empty net.

 

[McClelland]

Bruins need some super powers to get back in this serie, Fla has solved swayman, Lets see if ullmark can steal 1 too, expect him in game 4.

 

[Peasy]

Was funny seeing bruins fans so boastful after game 1. Florida was obviously rusty due to the rest and break. These last two games are how most people expected this series to go.

As a leafs fan, I’m glad to d leafs didn’t make it to round 2 to face this panther team. They’re the dirtiest team in the league and they look unbeatable. They would have swept the leafs and then the leafs would have doubled down on the same core and coach because of their first round win lol

Jacob Trouba: "Challenge accepted".

 

[Over the volcano]

Bruins have managed 31 shots in the last two games and you are worried about a missed icing call?

Who's worried? It was just icing, got to think they weren't watching that play at all to have missed it.

Shots aren't the problem it's just about everything else leading up to em.

Last night was a PP win for FLA and they've had plenty of chances to crack that. Boston can't get in any rhythm playing short handed so much. What's the PP differential in this series, 2-1, 3-1?

To call us the dirtiest team in the league is funny. I’m literally watching Boston throw temper tantrums every shift when things don’t go their way. Florida just plays hard and we got jam to our game. None of our players go out there throwing slew foots. They play on the edge but dirty is a hilarious stretch.

No way, you are actually posting a positive take on the Panthers?

Panthers are the team everybody wishes they had going into play offs.
They lost to lightening again a few seasons ago after a dominating regular season. Management said that's enough!! We need to build our team for play off hockey. That doesn't mean tweaking the bottom six and third pair. Lots of teams talk about change but won't touch their core. Panthers traded away a 115 point player they knew they would never win with. Along with a very high rated Dmen. Landed Matthew Tkachuk. Brought in a new coach. Changed their style. Barkov is a beauty captain , Tkachuk helps lead just as much. Like Chara and Bergevin in Boston. Duo captains.
Now they play a style that nobody wants to play against.
I took mainly Panthers in my pool with a few Dallas Stars.
Teams built for play offs.
Panther fans are happy fans .....for good reason!

I am mostly just glad we didn't get to round 2 so I didn't have to witness the Leafs getting bullied by the Panthers for 10 days. Panthers are dirty as f***, they played like this all season long knowing the whistles go away in the playoffs. It is infuriating to play against but god do I wish my team played like that.

 

[CatscratchFever]

2 down. 2 to go. Never too high. Never too low.

 

[Laus723]

Coyle and Marchand both asked Barkov to go at the start of the game (which would’ve pushed the Panthers that much more so kinda weird), Geekie bends him over the net, Lindholm shoves him in the neck when he’s down, amongst a few things…but somehow the Panthers are an irrationally dirty team. It’s the playoffs, this is playoff hockey.

Don't worry, with Shanahan coming back, that is exactly what will happen. Keefe was a problem sure, but not THE problem, the core 4 rule the roster until they say otherwise, enabled for years by the FO.

I don't see JT or MM waiving anything, and they won't have the stones to put them in the pressbox, maybe I am wrong.

Dumbest fake though guy shit. There’s literally no reason for our best player to have his first ever fight at the opening faceoff.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Seems to me Marchand and Bennett were both skating into the same area of the ice and there was the collision. Just a unfortunate result for Marchand.

Some teams like to ring the bell but don't answer it themselves. Hey it works for FLA so why would they do anything different.

Outside of the obviously sketchy call on the GI, which penalties are you mad about? Bs taking a lot of stupid penalties, like too much man on ice, trying to be tough and running at Barkov long after puck was gone. The penalty trouble is their own doing. Please stop, it’s a bit embarrassing, and the Leafs fans are wanting their book o’ excuses back.

What excuses? It's pretty objective that they're short handed way too often and way more than FLA and it's costing them. You can justify it however you feel you need.

Chucky asked Pasta to go he said yes with the game out of hand. At 0-0, opening faceoff that fight doesn't happen regardless of the hard feelings, guys are trying to win the game first.

Oh I get why he said no, and why answering the bell isn't as easy as ringing it. And again it works for them so why would they change?
