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

[PatriceBergeronFan]

It’s not “supposed to be” automatic, it is automatic.
It is not often let go, if you take an opponent’s helmet off it is a penalty.
The ref was gonna let both Tkachuk and the B slide for what occurred. The Bruin taking Tkachuk helmet off is automatic 2 minutes.

More deflection. Here is reality.

Tkachuk initiated the scrum, scrum ended. Tkachuk re-ignited the scrum going after Carlo.

That is a textbook penalty every minute of NHL history. The officials were overwhelmed from puck drop.

 

[Catscountry40]

Really hope that Pasta/Tkachuk tilt makes the B’s realize he’s a fraud and just ignore him now.

He beat the actual shit out of Pasta and you are calling him a fraud?

Ran away from Coyle after crosschecking Lindholm after a Florida goal. Charges into reverse hits, never shoulder to shoulder. Stick work from the outside of scrums while retreating every time.

Best he can do against Pastrnak of all players and land two cheapshots on the ice.

Unsure whether more comical or pitiful on Tkachuk's part.

Brady must feel embarrassed for his brother.

6'3 Tkachuk's best comparison is a want to be Marchand, where he could be Iginla. How embarrassing.

 

[Dr Quincy]

I suspect we won't be seeing blowouts in this series in the remaining games.

IDK I could see either team winning a blowout. Someone's up 2 late in a game and all heck breaks loose.

 

[Neil Racki]

I'm only talking about the fighting code because bruins fans keep bringing it up. One of the rules of the code is that you only drop gloves and start swinging with someone who agrees to a fight. You don't drop them and start swinging at someone in the scrum. If Bruins fans are going to complain about Tkachuk throwing an extra shot at Pasta because it's against the "code" then bring that same energy for Frederic who also violated the "code"

I hear ya .. I feel ya

Trent and #82 are def 100% going to square circle it next game like Pasta/Tkachuk

 

[Leonardo87]

Folks, the banter needs to stop. I recommend to take a break. Don’t want to see folks banned from the series discussion. I get things are heated but need to calm down. Thanks

 

[YukonCornelius]

It's so funny how concerned with the fighting code Bruins fans are right now.

Here is Travis Frederic dropping his gloves and swinging at Loustarinen who is engaged with someone else in the scrum. You know, something that is a hard no in the NHL fighting rules of engagement.



Let me guess, this isn't the same/Loustarinen deserved it/insert other excuse here.

Lol oh you mean where Loustarinen came in as 3rd man in to attack someone else already engaged?

 

[Beezeral]

Absolutely faux outrage as they fully understand what Florida does and need to deflect. Otherwise it would require admitting your top defenseman taunts after a meaningless goal in game 2, and Tkachuk is crosschecking after meaningless goals in game 2.... fighting Pastrnak of all players. Plenty of fake tough to deflect away for the fans.

Rather than understand naturally the Bruins are going to react to those decisions by Florida players.

You are right man. Here are a bunch of examples of what Florida does


Here's another leg whip from Marchand that takes out Reinhart.


Oh look, here's frederic again throwing multiple elbows at the back of Rodrigues's head.


This one is minor, but it's still a slash/interference according to today's rules and reeks of frustration

Panthers are clearly the dirty team in this series and the Bruins are just defending themselves.

why is this guy obsessing about iginla so much, tkachuk has a unique skillset why does he need to emulate another player. That's like asking why doesn't marchand play like a gentlemen like johnny hockey lol just cause they are the same size doesn't mean they have the same personality, same skillset, same strengths etc.

Tkachuk isn't that kind of player.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

I'm calling him a fraud for picking battles he knows he'll win in a 6-1 game. Yeah.

Don't think anyone put $$ down on bet365 for Pasta winning that fight. Good on Pasta to step up though. Hopefully the Bruins can build something off it

 

[Over the volcano]

The only time this has ever happened is on NHL 24

It was like a month ago.

 

[danpantz]

Correct. No angels. Time to stop complaining about Tkachuk then.


The only time this has ever happened is on NHL 24.

I didn't complain about him. I said he belongs in prison.

 

[FLpanthers16]

Difference between the two is that Tkachuck is willing to fight Pastrnak who's never fought before, while Marchand is willing to give up 10 inches and 40 lbs to fight Mikkola for his team

To be fair, that's really how it should be, elite player vs elite player, can't have Pasta or MT going up against skilled guys that do it for a living like a Reaves. Better they fight eachother if they are going to fight at all.

Is Tkachuck supposed to say no to Pasta? Dude wanted his ass beat, so he gave it to him.

 

[Beezeral]

you got me there. Completely forgot about this. Well played

Marchand takes a swing then "falls'' to the ground. Turtle Turtle

 

[Catscountry40]

Can not expect from a city who toughness leaders are Mark Wahlberg and Dave Portnoy.

He’s a Rat not a turtle.

 

[DRW895]

Once again dirty czech was rescued be referees


To be continued with more brutal beating of this bb player

Perhaps you may have heard of the Boston Tea Party?

You’re welcome btw.

Dr. Joseph Warren could really throw hands. Sam Adams was a spot picker though.

You grow up in Roxbury you better know how to throw hands.

Harvard graduated surgeon who fought in the war. They don’t make them like they did back then.

Dude .. Pasta wanted to go. Matt gladly obliged. Tkachuk is a pot stirrer but a fraud or a fight dogger, he is not. Im one of those "code" guys and Tkachuk walks and talks the code as well as anyone imo.

Pasta was fired up. I'd bet that 5 seconds of pure rage was as close to primal animal Pasta has ever felt in his life. I'd bet he gladly do it all over again .. all he got are some glancing blows while his adrenaline was going 160 mph.

Fight club effect .. feel alive for the first time in years.

Good on Pasta

 

[Chaos2k7]

It’s a bummer he did it against a guy who throws punches after a guy is down though. I guess the honor that Shawn Thornton brought to that part of the game was lost on Florida during his time there. Too bad.

Thornton still works for the team.
