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

[Grimey]

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.

 

[NeelyOrr]

Based on this current team the only player I'd be pissed about not returning next season is J-SWAY.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

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.

Absolutely, its not the result. Its how we got to the result.

 

[Bruinaura]

I mean....5 shots in the first, and 2 in the third....

 

[Bradely]

I know the NHL is trying to build their fan base in Florida but they are going to lose fans in Boston. They have been screwing us over for far too long now.

In all the SOUTH of USA.

 

[CheerstoBeers]

According to the rule yes, it was. But that’s not why they lost. They lost because Barkov make a big boy play and none of Boston’s 3rd and 4th line talent could, even when they were in alone. M

You say 3rd and 4th line talent so that could mean any line was on the ice.

 

[The don godfather]

Refs didn’t cause Barkov’s goal. Big players make big plays.

Might never happened has we had the lead. We got robbed on that bullshit call. That was no goal. The end.

 

[McGarnagle]

Based on this current team the only player I'd be pissed about not returning next season is J-SWAY.

Pasta, Lohrei, and Swayman are my keepers, and I'd even be more open to bringing Debrusk back now. But everyone else, nah.

 

[TorontLoL 67]

Watching Florida get flattened by NYR is gonna be fun. Mouthguard mouthbreather might actually lose a few teeth playing with it the way he does.

 

[SPV]

We haven’t played well enough, I’ll preface by saying that. But 21 power plays to 11 is unrealistic. Especially when the team with 11 was the most penalized team in the league all season. The NHL is the one losing out, a Boston vs. New York conference final would be a ratings dream.

I’m checking out of hockey if we lose, my son plays and I watch all year, I’ll be happy for the break not watching teams I don’t care about. And I bet a lot of you will be done too.

 

[HumBucker]

Refs made some terrible calls, but for a 3rd straight game we could manage 20 shots on goal. Can't win if you can't score, and you can't score if you don't shoot

And yet we were leading, until that horrible call. Swayman was playing great. That game was winnable, despite not generating enough shots.

 

[22Brad Park]

That’s like saying when Zacha was tripped at center ice, that it shouldn’t have been called because he wasn’t going to go all the way to the net and score,

You call the infraction based on the act, not the potential results.

Coyle turns around and boxes him out or ties up his stick it's not going in.And better yet if they had of dealt with Bennett maybe he still in infirmary.

 

[BTO]

You say 3rd and 4th line talent so that could mean any line was on the ice.

That’s my point.

 

[BamBamCam]

Zacha couldn't score in a Cat house with a fistful of hundreds an yes pun intended

 

[bobber]

Bruins brought a knife to a gun fight. Even revenge bit them in the ass. Got to get more than 15-20 shots a game. Allowing over 40 on Sway doesn't cut it. Refs fall for Tkuchuk's side show. He makes them look like fools every game. It's like they are addicted to being jackasses for him.

 

[Bruins Or Die]

While I certainly believe the grass isn’t always greener. I just don’t feel like Montgomery is the right fit for this team anymore.

You can certainly say he’s had exceptional results in his first two seasons, but the playoff performances are a terrible wart on his tenure. Constant flat performances, questionable line juggling, spineless post game diplomacy.

I believe the Toronto series bought him more time, but man, I just feel like he’s way over his head at this point.

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

 

[The Murph]

Lot of the shots Florida had were nothing shots. Bruins had tons of grade A chances to expand on their 2 goals.

That weak interference penalty was a game changing call. Both teams had worse interference not called up to that point. Then letting the crosscheck go on Coyle for the tying goal.

Florida may of won anyway, they were playing well, but the refs put their stamp on a close one tonight. Sucks to see it.

They needed this game, for any chance, it's too bad.

 

[bwunderlich]

The first officiating mistake was the ref 2 feet from Bennett failing to call cross check. He could have touched Bennett but seems to look away?

Team has no extra gear. No real gameplan, every player unsure where they are to go.

"are my methods unsound?"

"I don't see any method at all, sir."

 

[Coach Parker]

This team has barely 1 serviceable center. Not like we didn’t have 5-6 years to prepare for bergy and krejci retiring. This is on Donny and Seabass

It really is. I've watched teams grab multiple top line C before the Bruins as they rode Bergeron into the ground.

 

[Tommy Tubs]

Do you want the refs to shoot the puck for them?

I want them not to make ridiculously lopsided calls that decide a game.

Crazy, I know.

 

[Boston Bruno]

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.

They are beating us at every aspect of hockey.

 

[Sheppy]

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

They’re not pissed. If they were Bennett would have been dealt with.

 

[Mione134]

And yet we were leading, until that horrible call. Swayman was playing great. That game was winnable, despite not generating enough shots.

That non call on Coyle immediately changed the course of the game.

 

[The don godfather]

I’m at the point where I think the Lindholm deal was an even bigger mistake than I already thought it was at the time

Why he brought us to round 2 on his shoulders game 7.

 

[mar2kbos]

I like MacVoy but in no way would I consider him a solid playoff performer. I think he is just to squirrelly back there when you need some solid calmness. I would definitely look for a 1A defenseman if they can pawn off Lindholm to another team
