Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 1 - THE BEAR throws the cat over the cliff.....again - BRUINS 5 Sunrise 1 - BRUINS lead series 1-0

[SImpelton]

..or Nylander and a 1st rounder

I... could actually get behind that.

 

[SPV]

Yikes.

I have no idea what any of this means. LOL.

 

[Bradely]

Swayman is 1st, 2nd and third star. No brainer, the net is his. He reminds me of Patrick Roy at his best in net. Love Linus, but Ullmark come in net only if Swayman is sick!

Love the third line game.

Pastrnak was really noticeable. Nice game.

Maroon did his job.

Great win. Panthers fans will need to wait for their walk in the park.

John 4:16 now reads "I am the Sway"

 

[DarrenBanks56]

aside from another bonehead turnover by mcavoy. great game. and. why does mcavoy continue and try to screen swsyman ? he was doing it again tonite.

 

[22Brad Park]

Kevin Bieksa sporting the Cam Neely socks. Said he was his favourite player growing-up. Only signed jerseys he ever asked for were Cam Neely`s and Steve Yzerman`s. Interesting. Or not.

Played 4 Vancouver Neely makes sence

 

[Bridges31]

I hardly noticed Forbort tonight.

That’s a great thing.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Okay. Game 1 over. 1-0. On to game 2. Panthers going to come out.

Panthers gonna come out dirty

..but Bruins will get all the penalties.....again

 

[goldenblack]

Maroon is a factor.

Seems like the kind of guy that gets better as the playoffs go deeper. He's so calm it's wild.

 

[NeelyDan]

I actually wouldn’t mind if they went Ully next game

Pull off a win and that really gets in the heads of the panthers

 

[Lordstanley]

you know the Leafs are looking for a goaltender. Mayve we can ship them Ullmark for two firsts, wouldn't that be fun?

The only question going forward is how long can J-SWAY stay on that unicycle?

[goldenblack]

Btw can we say that was the best reffed game of our playoffs so far? Not perfect. But that felt at least fair.

 

[Maine Fan]

I was thinking rust for the Panthers.
I was thinking tired for the Bruins.
I was thinking it was Ullmark's turn.

So much for my thinking.

This was a nice night if you are a Bruins fan, I am.

I would like a few more until we get into the next round of playoff games

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Yikes.

That is f***ing nuts

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Are the nets in Florida a little bigger or did the Bruins suddenly turn into sharpshooters?

 

[SImpelton]

In a vacuum I don't disagree with you but teams just don't DO that kind of thing in the playoffs. If a goalie is winning the goalie plays. Overthink this at your peril.

 

[PoisonEye]

Swayman was locked in all night. You know when the only puck past him was a horrible giveaway followed by a deflection off a defenseman, that's absolutely the best you can hope for.

 

[goldenblack]

That is f***ing nuts

Shows they mostly defended, yeah?

 

[Maine Fan]

In the playoffs? Never. I know Ullmark is good, but you dance with the girl ya brung. Swayman is winning games. He stays in. If he gets hurt or need to come out you trust Ullmark to be ready, there's no need to overthink yourself in the playoffs.

That's the same deal we did with Thomas and Rask both on the roster. It works, keep doing it.

I said go with the hot hand, I agree with you. If you wanted this is the game to do it.

 

[The Hajj]

Of course after I posted it, the tornado threat was extended to 1am. I want to go to sleep damn it

Thought and prayers going out to you Ali

 

[KnightofBoston]

I have no idea what any of this means. LOL.

Ekblad stinky poo poo

Rest of team meh meh

 

[goldenblack]

Monty is strapping the centennial to Swayman. Sure it's logical to start Linus if you want to outhink yourself.

Heater like this....you just can't. Ride him till the rails fall off. Sway is seeing bullets in the matrix and catching them with his hands.

Frankly Sheldon Keefe did a hell of a job of marshalling his forces in the series. He gets a lot of hate but he managed to get some banger defensive performances from guys without the most talent in the world. Reminded me a bit of Claude Julien, both for the defensive masterclasses AND for the game 7 shakiness

I don't think the Panthers are quite as disciplined as the Leafs were in the last 4 games, they're kinda arrogant because they beat us last year. We'll have to give them a second bloody nose next game then maybe we'll start seeing the same defensive tightness.

The Leafs came for our heads and it was the best thing that could have happened to us now we've survived. They gave us their best shot and we had to overcome adversity to win. We're seeing the benefits of that in game 1. First round adversity tends to be a precursor to some nice deep playoff runs for us because it forces the team to run a tight ship and get used to running a tight ship..

The Leafs this year were a great warmup in the first round, like the Canadiens who pushed us to the brink in the Cup year, or the LEafs who did us that favor the last 2 times we made the Finals.

Basically having a good tight 7 game series that forces the team to band together and play at a high level is a GREAT omen for potential deep playoff runs.
