Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 4 - The officials throw The Bear off the cliff - Sunrise 3 BRUINS 2 - Panthers lead series 3-1

[sarge88]

This team is a close game type of team. The calls will have a greater affect.

I’m not sure how I can validate firing Montgomery. Look at this team and look at their talent. Not expected to make the playoffs let alone win a series. In the moment, I’m heated because they had the lead and let it slip. But in reality, this team isn’t as talented. Those are the facts.

If we were basing his performance on this year alone, I’d agree with you.

But couple it with last years disaster and I can’t see how they bring him back….

Even if it’s just because Sweeney and Neely are trying to save their jobs.

If you want to see a stat to make you sad, check out the Wikipedia page on the Stanley Cup finals to see which team has the worst winning percentage of those who have been to the finals 20 times or more. Yes, it's the Bruins with a .300 record: Stanley Cup Finals - Wikipedia.

The Leafs may not have won one since 1967, but at least their Cup-winning record is .619.

Happy?

 

[bingobangobongo123]

Wholeheartedly disagree with the goal and it should have been called back. At the same time the bruins are just getting dominated. Saw someone post that bruins are getting outshot 107-50 this series. Just pure dominance by florida

and it's 21-11 pps and the most recent was a half penalty just to make it a little closer. and it's 7 on 5 every game. You're so smart and edgy sitting on the fence

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

One goal and assist doesn’t excuse a mediocre performance both regular season and playoffs. I don’t expect him to get better as he gets older. Just slower and he isn’t exactly a burner in that department to begin with

EVERY player on this team should be considered trade bait including him. He's not a player to carry a team, he is just to lazy when he doesn't have the puck.

That go ahead goal is why he's a problem not the solution. Lazy back check no effort after his team just killed off 4 minutes of power plays while he drinking water on the bench.

Let him kill penalties and maybe he will respect that part of the game. He's been an average player over the last two months.

All for 11.5m

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Most teams aren’t good enough to beat the opponent and refs……


This team certainly isn’t.

Too bad fans can't sue for fraud because they clearly don't follow their rules. I mean you pay for a sporting event that has clearly spelled out meaning and just ignore them.

 

[sarge88]

The killer is that Coyle & Zacha have combined for 1 goal..... you just can't have those guys giving you next to zero goal scoring.

You could, possibly, if they were slotted properly as the 2 LW and 3 C.

But definitely not as the 1 and 2 C’s.

 

[Absurdity]

See how Hughes there pulled the Edmonton PK out of his area and flow a sick pass to the point? That doesn't happen in Boston. Maybe Lohrei one day.

It doesn't help that the Bruins make passes like they are playing on a bubble hockey table.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Hey but this time they are really really really mad and will be sure to let Florida know about it next game

Maybe Zacha can start sending out his strongly worded letters tonight to the panthers team.

McDavid sticked him in face game 1 & nothing .Blood down face needed stitches.Canucks goalie out helps.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

I'm still with them. They pissed and might take game 5.

I’m always with them, 60+ years, and they might take game 5. Doesn’t mean I’m not a realist and can clearly see the Bruins are massively outmatched, even if the officiating was competent they would be losing this series. Never thought they had the horses to go far in what was destined to be a bridge year, they overachieved mostly due to having two of the best goaltenders on the planet. The off season will be interesting (to say the least) hope they can come to terms with Swayman( as much as I love Linus, clearly they plan to keep the younger guy).
Not even angry, just disappointed, hope they go out with competitive effort(and take out a few Panthers before it’s all done).

 

[UncleRico]

This is hands down the least talented bruins team of the past 15 years. Stellar goal tending and pasta with an aging Marchand is all they had. Chuckie isn’t a playoff caliber contributor and the rest of the roster is trash outside of lohrie.

2015 was worse

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Zacha a complete failure. Did the opposite of his words. Zero attempts to hit. Few things worse than a player who cannot match his words with play.

 

[HumBucker]

Lets be honest, we were only leading because Swayman continues to play out of his mind. It wasn't a matter IF Florida would score again, it was a matter of when. 2 goals wasn't going to win you a game.

2 goals has won plenty of playoff games with a great goalie. I can't get with pessimism disguised as "honesty." You're not Nostradamus.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Sorry but Monty not flipping out after this one is weak. It has nothing to do with how they played. It’s all about calling out this crap. Like Maurice LY…..like Berube in 2019……like Cooper time and time again. Unreal. Man o man this is bad.

 

[Festy1986]

Reffing in the league would be cleaned up if you put mics on them and release it live.

Can't do that tho. Unions and shit and fixing or whatever.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Whatever the result these playoffs, it’ll probably be the last season I watch. I just feel less and less interested. It’s entertainment, not hockey.

This flavor post seems to bloom every spring

 

[22Brad Park]

It's not even close really. Anyone who watches some other D in the NHL and the regular candidates for the Norris can't argue at all for Charlie. He has me worried going into 7 more years of 9.5 and contributing less and less each playoffs.

Trade him then.Tank for McKenna

 

[Gordoff]

Maybe this is an opportunity to reverse last years collapse

I don’t really give a f*** my baby boy arrives this week

Where do I find preemie skates

WOW, now that's more important than this bullshit. Congratulations. Do you have others.

 

[BamBamCam]

McAvoy once again victimized on GWG.

Yup goes for a hit and then lets up. Next thing you know he is the last player coming back.
Must be because his hand is hurt.

 

[s3antana5757]

Heinen-Coyle-Frederic
JVR-Zacha-Brazeau

That’s all you need to see to start a game to know you’re eventually going to lose

 

[Sigh]

Maybe Zacha can start sending out his strongly worded letters tonight to the panthers team.

f***ing Zacha. Was really hoping for more from him.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Waive or trade Zacha and Geekie and never let Coyle play above the 3rd line again. Useless centers get exposed in the playoffs, Bergy and Krejci used to do it to other teams for years.

 

[Coach Parker]

Zacha a complete failure. Did the opposite of his words. Zero attempts to hit. Few things worse than a player who cannot match his words with play.

I still cannot believe he has never scored a NHL Playoff goal and when Boston moves him to a basement team the streak will continue. So disappointed when I had such high hopes for him these playoffs.

 

[bruinmann77]

man what a terrible way to lose but come on this team home ice is no longer an advantage

 

[UncleRico]

and it's 21-11 pps and the most recent was a half penalty just to make it a little closer. and it's 7 on 5 every game. You're so smart and edgy sitting on the fence

Yes and a handful of those penalties have been our own doing with too many men on the ice and dumb plays like geekie running into the goalie.

Also yes when a team is dominating puck possession the other team constantly playing defense is more likely to commit a penalty.

Possess the puck more and put more pressure on offensively and I can almost guarantee power plays will go up in quantity. Teams rarely take offensive zone penalties compared to defensive zone.
