ECSF GAME 4 6:41 PM - Florida Panthers @ Boston Bruins (Florida leads series 2-1) - TBS, truTV, MAX, CBC, SN, TVAS

[Chaos2k7]

I expect a tight one tonight, would be very surprised if its another blowout, these guys have to have some stones you would think

 

[Chaos2k7]

Oh I'm sure there's that and plenty of other excuses, but it just is what it is. Bennett can handle himself just fine as can a few others, just a question of if they're willing. This Boston roster isn't exactly murderers row.

I think its a question of desire on the part of the Bruins personally. If they are willing to potentially throw another game to put themselves on the brink, its over.

 

[Laus723]

Only question is if Bennett will be willing. He could stand up and settle it early, if not, whatever injuries and nonsense will be on him.

Trent Frederic talking tough

Let’s see if he backs it up.

Frederic ain’t early 2010s Lucic guys. Broons want to try and mix it up, Panthers can play that game. And if Bennett’s hand wasn’t injured from a Montour shot (which is why he missed time), he’d dispatch ole Freddy.

Excuses, noooooo his potentially broken hand is a reason.

They’re focused on winning four games and moving on towards the next round.
Beating anyone’s ass is far from priority. If the gloves drop during play, they drop,
You need to get over this “willing” false bravado BS.

I get that a player standing up for themse seems strange to you.

We’ve been watching it for 82 games, not strange at all.

Don't be scared one's going to take a serious beating. If Bennett's good to play and willing he can handle it.

If you're worried about injuries it's the safer route than running and turning everyone else into a target.

It's false bravado to say Bennett can handle himself? K then.

 

[PromisedLand]

If they wanna go down the road of making this a revenge type of game, this will be a long night for Bruins fans.

Panther's PP is HOT! Bruins would be stupid to initiate any shenanigans. Florida is going to make them pay on PP and then some

They've already had 2 or 3 times more opportunities in the series. Nothing new there.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Why do you think that is? They just focused on revenge, or the Panthers are that good defensively? Look at Kucherov’s numbers. Barkov and Forsling were all over them.

Not pointing you out specifically, but I keep hearing things like this and people haven’t thought to look at their opposition.

That's pretty much my point. The Panthers are awesome. The Bruins got outplayed past 2 games by a wagon of a team. Boston needs to focus on doing what it takes to be more competitive than worrying about other things. FLA has gotten in the heads of the Bruins. Can't let that happen because it's tough enough as is to beat such a talented team.

No, the childish BS “don’t be scared” part

 

[thaman8765678]

Oh wow, no Marchand? This could get ugly.

It reminds me a bit of the Habs vs Ottawa in 2013 with the Gryba hit on Eller and all the other drama that went on. The Habs totally lost their heads, Michel Therrien was blathering on about "respect", etc.

Bruins playing for moral victories at this point.

Classic Bruins. That's what they do when they feel they can't win on the scoresheet.

It's not always a terrible idea. But this time it is. They already tried dropping the gloves in Game 2, and it was more deflating than anything. I think the best response would be to score the first goal tonight and move on from there.

No one’s worried about anything.

 

[Ratsreign]

It’s what is causing these night light shows.
The disturbance is great

Or perhaps it was the sparks from Benny swinging the hammer of Thor in Boston?

Score first? Gonna have to be in the second period, as they will be lucky to get 2 shots in the first

Yeah, Marchand never does anything wrong.

 

[Deen]

Watch Boston do the rope-a-dope and play a clean game while drawing penalties. That's how I would coach it.

They can be better. And it's only a 2 - 1 series.

So…will Florida??

We didn't call it the Bennalty box in Calgary for nothing.
