Post-Game Talk: ECSF: Game 1, Playing with house money, Big Game Bob shuts the door

[TotalHomer]

Our PK will win or lose this series

and Bob.

He started well when he came in game 5, looked very calm and composed. Game 6 was ok too, although he let in five. But game 7 he lost sight of the puck a couple of times and that rebound on the third goal was really bad. Even Hrudey who almost never says anything negative about other goaltenders roasted him and said that it can't happen. And then there was the lucky stick shaft save on Pastrnak where he never even reacted to the shot. So the trend is no good right now but at least they can throw in Lyon if needed.

New series, clean slate, please remember to report and not feed the trolls tonight.

Myself and Egblad are happy to take out the trash.

Sweet: I’ll book your flight up to Boston. Might be difficult but there’s a giant harbor you can throw the excess trash into there

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Funny how their fans are critical of our new ticket policy which admittedly is a little silly but they should be thoroughly embarrassed by their fans openly rooting to play Florida instead of Boston.

There's absolutely nothing silly about the ticket policy. This happens EVERY single year, in pro football, pro basketball, baseball, and hockey. This has been going on FOREVER. It used to be that teams would simply tell their ticket brokers 'don't sell tickets to out of towners,' but now that everything is automated, they just put up a blanket policy.

Leafs fans are just being histrionic ultra-morons, as usual.

I hear it tastes like tea and the tears of Bruins fans, delicious.

Apparently skittles flavored after yesterday as well!

NFL is known for this and blackout policies against local fans if they dont fill the house. Panthers want a pro Panther crowd, and they should.

I believe the NFL removed the blackout rule a few years ago. The Dolphins had a couple of playoff games blacked out in the Wannstedt era (barf), because tickets didn't go on sale until Monday morning, and teams had until Thursday afternoon to sell out.

The Dolphins did sell out their playoff games, but not by the deadline. It was unbelievably stupid.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Someone post me the tweet from game 6. Can't see an issue with selling out, and having some Leafs fans in the house anyways.

Scalpers sell to the ones that pay, lol, they will be there anyways, the organization just wants to limit it, and they should.

Was that way in Buffalo for many years in the early 2000s.

Yep, tickets are already available on the resale market, and on top of that, the ban on Canadian buyers is lifted today. Leafs fans are just huge stupid babies.

 

[Egblad]

I can only speak for myself, but, infractions are given as well.

Same.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Same.

Locked and loaded

 

[CanePanther]

How many excuses does thi

I agree in the NBA there is at least a 4 day rest before the next round. I’m exhausted just as a fan after a very emotional long series.

Im sure they all thought it was funny when Tampa did it to Montreal fans. Now that it's against them its a crime against human rights.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Some Leafs fans love to be victimized so they can make every topic about them. It’s been this way forever and will always be this way.

I say some because you shouldn’t judge an entire fan base from the actions of the loudest

Speaking of which, I think it's telling that the only trolls I saw on this board during round one were Leafs and Canadiens fans.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Payback on the scoreboard tonight would be sweetest.

The Bruins board began their meltdown after one single loss, their tears give us power.

It’s silly because knowing Panther fans that are not loyal they will just sell their tickets on the open market. And there are other ways to get around the policy sheesh some of you are showing your gullabity . You can’t beat the system prohibition never solved anything just made things worse.

Just funny that it was Barkov's name mentioned. Not anyone else. Could make a roulette wheel of the excuses this guy gets for not performing in the playoffs. Let's hope this series he starts playing like a franchise centre.

 

[Gentle Man]

I’m hoping we have the advantage coming in hot. The time off might work against Toronto.

Saturday wasn't that long ago

 

[Chaos2k7]

This Barkov debate is almost as annoying as the Bobrovsky crap.

Almost.

 

[CanePanther]

The trend on Lyon was getting worse…can’t catch a puck.

Almost.

Really shouldn't be any debate in regards to Barkov's performance in the playoffs.

 

[TotalHomer]

Noticed that the games were wrong in my post, edited it.

Regarding Lyon, I think he would come out fresh again. He started the series well against Boston.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Really shouldn't be any debate in regards to Barkov's performance in the playoffs.

Anyone watching 16 knows he has another level.

But he was almost a PPG, was double teamed by design by the Bruins, and was an absolute monster in the NZ and on the boards and on faceoffs, especially later in the series.

He even threw some hits. This is by far his best playoffs yet, and we are not done.

If he can play to his standard in the OZ, watch out.

We will see how it plays out.
