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

[Sigh]

I think I'm out on Monty.

I think I'm out on hockey, honestly. Rich kid sport now.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

He is completely incapable of breaking the puck cleanly out of his own end. It’s painful to watch.

That’s supposed to be his strong suite.
Puck retrieval and a strong first pass.

He’s not physical, he’s not an offensive dynamo in the O Zone.

Right now he’s mediocre to below average at everything

 

[lextune]

I’m still riding high after the leaf win lmao

This should really be all of us.

When Bergeron retired no one thought we'd have the regular season we had, and then to win a 1st round series for the first time in years to boot.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Team is quite capable winning 6 in a row with Monty. 3 is nothing. It's up to them now.

I’ll have some of whatever it it you’re consuming

 

[22Brad Park]

Sweeney builds teams with feet of clay. He needs to be fired.

That's not happening

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

The far better team is going to win this series.

Much more high end talent, more depth, better coaching, more effort and better system. It’s obvious.

Sucks to have to play the refs too, but if you can’t muster 20 shots on the regular, you’re just not nearly good enough.

Make some sweeping changes.

This is not a knock on the cats but having a bunch of top 5 picks should eventually get you to being cup contenders. Feels like the B’s are just circling the drain of mediocrity being stuck losing or winning one round in the playoffs and picking late with nothing to show for it.

 

[CAW1313]

The bad calls suck but all signs are that we choke the lead away regardless. Team is gassed.

Florida isn’t that much better it’s still a close series I don’t think 3-1’ing them is totally out of the question.

Your positive attitude is great BUT Florida is much better than Boston and we are also playing against the officials. 22 penalties for Bosto ln and 11 for Florida. Terrible officiating, the. You throw in the lack of talent Boston has along with a team that doesn’t shoot and there’s your recipe to get embarrassed 5 games

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

I don’t care anything about how the Bruins played. Obviously the Panthers are better than us and we all knew it. All year.

But to get a game like that? I’m not a screeching about the refs guy. This was a full out bag job by Toronto. And I just don’t understand why. Why do they want a rat ass, cheap, diving team to be the face of the league. It’s honestly baffling.

 

[NeelyDan]

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

 

[SPV]

The joke make up call for interference in the last minute makes them look even worse to me. Florida runs that interference ALL game, but 6 power plays to 4 looks better on paper, and it also shows you don’t care about actual penalties but game management.

 

[sarge88]

True…and if someone 15 seconds earlier made a different play, maybe that goal never happens too.

But Coyle was illegally cross checked into Swayman, and it should have been called.

Series is over now so only thing matters to me is cleaning out the trash.[/QUOTE]

And exacting some revenge on Florida.

 

[Tommy Tubs]

It’s not crazy I agree but they stopped playing after the 2nd goal that’s not on the officiating.

It's a one goal game and at least one goal was given to the other team.

To pretend the refs didn't decide that game is frankly dumb.

Are there things the Bruins could have done better? Yes, that's how sports work. There were plenty of things Florida could have done better too.

So, because it's a close game and both teams were not perfect, does that mean the refs can just do whatever they want to decide the game and no one can mention it? Yeah, that makes sense.

 

[ON3M4N]

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

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.

Trouba and the Rangers say “hold my drink”

That’s what happens when you hem a team in their zone, it tires them out. FL plays that way from puck drop to final buzzer. How many times in the last few games have the Bruins had extended time in their zone? They don’t, it’s one and done. They just don’t have the will to play that trench work game.

Congrats, that’s far more important!

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

Are you kidding without him this team would be in the dark ages of dave Lewis days. He stays.

I mean this will all due respect, but…

If you believe that, you’re out of your mind.

 

[NeelyDan]

And in the Hamilton-Toronto area at least, that’s our mini cup

Don, I love you but this isn't regular season.

 

[Bruins Or Die]

Why am I not surprised

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.

 

[NDiesel]

Terrible call on the goal, but bottom line is this team hasn't been nearly good enough.

 

[BB79]

Its bad enough we cant beat the panthers but to have that goal count was the series back breaker. Refs are terrible. Incompetent. Did they know the rule?

Honestly I wasn't expecting the Bruins to beat the Panthers, it would be an upset in my eyes if they did. The refs handing it to them on a silver platter though is disgusting. Bennett scoring the tying goal when he had no business even being on the ice tonight is bull.

I don't even think I'll bother watching the next game. It's got the same appeal as WWE to me at this point. We all know what's going to happen..

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Good to know we can now just push players into their goaltender to create room for empty net goals.

Great precedent you're setting there NHL.

[McGarnagle]

What compounds the non-call is how the Panthers were actually on a powerplay at the time because OEL skated into Lindholm's path and did a f***ing swan dive. They successfully killed 1:58 of it before Bennett had to crosscheck Coyle to tap it in. You can only hold off a team 7-on-5 for so long.
