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

[Absurdity]

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

Heinen - Coyle - Frederic was the best 5 on 5 line for the Bruins, and it's not even close.

 

[Bong Whisperer]

This team was built to sell hotdogs, nachos and beer at the concession stands after charging some of the highest ticket prices in the league. Been a great $$$ year for the Jacobs. Fans get another rubber bone year.

 

[22Brad Park]

For Brady Tkachuk and have the Brothers have it out in the playoffs.

McKenna gonna be world class player though love him here

 

[McGarnagle]

I've been watching for almost 30 years, and absolutely never have I seen the Bruins win a playoff series off of a missed call in their favor. Never. Not f***ing once. But at least 4 times now I can pinpoint critically botched calls which ended our season.

And those idiots on the main board pretend that we always get calls because a 4th liner who played here for 3 years's dad once supervised league officials, and their proof of that is a leaked email which stemmed from before his son played here and called out a then-Bruins player as the player he demanded officials call more penalties on.

We're all biased and see what we want to see, but this is too far and too much. You know the league is pushing certain storylines for their playoff coverage and trying to save more mistake expansion markets from getting Arizona'd.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Putting Geekie and Maroon with Pastrnak hahahaha Sitting here thinking about it with stupid grin

People will still blame Pasta.

 

[Bridges31]

Would you guys consider moving McAvoy for Brady?

Without even a second thought. Ottawa laughs and hangs up the phone though.

 

[Absurdity]

Would you guys consider moving McAvoy for Brady?

McAvoy for Barzal

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

While I agree I don't think it's baffling. They want to build fan patronage. They want the fanbase to enlarge there to the point that they're as rabid as us up north to increase deep interest. Interest in hockey down there is topical and would fall off immediately if the team stunk.

But that’s the thing - they’re not really adding much there. It’s not like the place is full. It’s sold out, but it’s not full.

And BOS-NYR would do what…50% higher ratings? 75%?

League directly had two decisions - the no suspension (not even a fine?) and the crosscheck. They went Florida both times.

This isn’t bitching about the refs. This is bitching about the league.

 

[Coach Parker]

Same level of talent but absolutely. This team needs impactful forwards.

Brady cares about winning and losing and wants to compete.

 

[The don godfather]

We got robbed guys tonight I'm still in shock . Look at goaltending interference rules . Bennett knew what he was doing. He also knew what he was doing taking marchy out. Hes a scumbag.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Why is it people can count shots so well, but not penalties?

You can control how many shots you have not how many penalties get called in your favor, it’s not that difficult. Bob had an .889 on 18 shots, how is this on the refs more than the Bruins?

 

[mar2kbos]

Maybe. I’m not going to argue too much over that opinion.

All I’ll say is that he looked a lot more comfortable and confident when they had Krejci between him and Pasta.

I’d be okay with giving him another shot with a legit center.

As much as I’d like them to, they’re not going to replace 10 guys next season.

I’d rather they keep him than a lot of others.

I mean anyone would get points playing with Krejci and Pasta. The fact he needs two top tier players to be serviceable says a lot. He is a great third liner and and ok second liner when needed. He’ll just never be a guy in the playoffs. Over 20 games and no goals is a huge red flag

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

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

Yes, the Bruins really got screwed on the game winning goal. Just horrible that the call wasn't made immediately on Bennett. It's a penalty that results in a goal. Couldn't have been clearer and the official was standing right there.

But you are correct, they can't make a pass. Or control the puck. Or clear the puck. Outshot 42-18 at home in a game they absolutely needed.

 

[FONZIE]

Florida is a deeper team, the bruins need to upgrade their centers. Can't have your top 2 centers be passengers on lines need them to help push the play.

The team play and shot differential is directly due to our lack of high end centers. Our team is tougher for the playoffs this year, but still subpar on center talent which shows offensively and defensively.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

As @DKH would say, Zacha and Coyle as your centers had this Panther team down 3-1 last year.

I won’t argue the centers are good, but I’ve watched this team lose to the underdog so many times it’s not like we should give them a free pass

Taylor Hall carried Boston in the two wins in Florida

 

[McGarnagle]

Sophia's a keeper

 

[NeelyDan]

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

Thanks (to you and others)

And no, my first at 48

Hockey team has taken to calling me DeNiro

Anyway soon the world will meet my son @Sheppy

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Yeeeeeaaaaaa I think I’m finally done done with the NHL lol I said this last year once Bergeron retired (and Thornton). My plan was to stop watching once my two favourite players retired because I’ve honestly thought for at least over a decade that this league is the absolute worst in all of major sports. (Unfortunately with the best sport)

Yes, the Bruins needed to be better and maybe they don’t deserve to win this series, but to lose with all this bullshit is just ridiculous.

You’re telling me the guy who took out our captain with a dirty headshot (which didn’t get a suspension, let alone a penalty), scored a goal (in the very next game he should have been suspended for) on the power play (against a neutered PK because he took out the #1 PKer from said headshot) where he committed crystal clear goaltender interference. Like you almost can’t write this shit lol

No point in cancelling my Sportsnet subscription yet since they deny access the day after instead of letting me watch the full month I paid for lol but these clowns don’t deserve my pocket change.

I feel the same way, not going to pay anymore for a tainted product. Will only watch the Bruins as part of my regular TV package.

 

[mar2kbos]

Except Heinen Coyle Frederic was our best line.

That’s all you need to know as to why they are down 3-1

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Taylor Hall carried Boston in the two wins in Florida

Screw that guy when you could have Morgan Geekie.

 

[Coach Parker]

Heinen - Coyle - Frederic was the best 5 on 5 line for the Bruins, and it's not even close.

And that is so sad for so many reasons.

 

[KrejciWinger]

See ya

 

[sarge88]

Heinen - Coyle - Frederic was the best 5 on 5 line for the Bruins, and it's not even close.

And if they were your third line, where they should be….fine.

Not cutting it as a 2nd line because they’re so limited offensively.

 

[DaBroons]

Referees or not... Florida has outplayed the Bruins in three out of four games.

I can be upset with the way it got to be 3-1, but I can't argue that a 3-1 Panther lead isn't justified.

Bs have been horribly out shot in all 4 games. Swayman is masking a total mismatch.

 

[NeelyOrr]

I was never a Montgomery fan and would be glad to see him go.

So a different coach would raise the talent quotient on this team? Perhaps a better FO would be able to accomplish that.
Having said that I can only hope the FO can sign their best player J-SWAY. W/o him tonight the score would have been a whole lot worse.
No goalie in these PO's has gotten less support from his defense. Pathetic.
