[KWbruin]

Anyone else's brain travel through time on that Beecher giveaway?

I saw my whole life before my eyes

so did Johnny Beecher.

Whatever Montgomery ate/consumed before the game last night, I hope he does the same on Friday.

His reactions alone were well worth the price of admission.

Like Monty as a person lukewarm as a coach (games 5 & 6 last year I will never get over from how he coached) but he had a good night

It’s so simple - attack but responsibly

And that’s how they win

Friday night go after them like last night

Unhinged and electric are perfect ways to describe it haha I was dying laughing

Great summary - I’m borrowing that from you

 

[UncleRico]

A hydrid of Thomas and Rask no doubt.



Tkachuk not a peep after the horn.

Swayman gives me Ryan miller vibes in the best of ways.

 

[bme44]

Maroon is slower than a steam locomotive from the 1800's

..without steam

I was thinking the same thing . he must be the slowest player in the NHL including all goalies

 

[UncleRico]

Interesting trend forming. When puck possession is pretty much even, so are penalties.

When one team dominates puck possession and provides offensive pressure the defense commits more penalties

Interesting how that works out.

 

[DKH]

Last 2 games the Bruins had a half dozen glorious chances they did not score- game 2 could have been up 3-0 after one period instead of two

If they are going to win Friday they need Swayman to be on and bury multiple in close very very high danger chances

I’m surprised how many opportunities Bruins have had behind Florida D with time but not cashed

They allow that to Rangers or Carolina they ain’t likely going to be so fortunate

I also feel like that was the best they’ve looked in the neutral zone against the panthers. Disrupted a lot more zone entries than normal and panthers didn’t get to set up nearly as much.

G6 Friday. I’ll be at Neil Young show in Mansfield.

He’s Canadien…surely he will have the game on the screen????

 

[cat400]

Game 5 last year, Marchand stoned by Bobrovsky in the final seconds as Bruins go on to lose in ot and fail to clinch series.

Game 5 last night Reinhart stoned by Swayman in the final seconds as Bruins win and Florida fails to clinch series.

Are we seeing a rewriting of the script from last year's battle?

Love Neil Young

Saw him at Great Woods in 90’s and with CSNY a bunch of times

If there is a game 7 what time would it be ?

 

[DKH]

Getting to game 7 I would have a camera on Maurice - he’s a bad call in game 7 to a meltdown/unhinged

 

[Drift]

I woke up thinking about that insane dive against Lohrei's hooking and the Montgomery reaction lol. Who was that on Florida, that was one of the worst dives I have ever seen but I can't tell if its just my memory or it was really that bad. Anyone have a highlight of it?

I wouldn’t have called it a penalty but I also don’t think it’s a dive. Lohrei and Montours skates collide right before the “penalty” and mountor is unbalanced and on one skate right before he goes down.

Luostarinen....probably butchered that spelling

Dude the contrarian thing about the refs is hilarious.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

True.

Detroit or NJ maybe, although I’d rather he go west.

LA?

Doubt Detroit bites for one year of Ullmark as Cossa and Augustine loom.

Luostarinen....probably butchered that spelling

Yeah should be spelled Latrine.

 

[UncleRico]

Dude the contrarian thing about the refs is hilarious.

I said the refs got the call wrong and it shouldn’t have been a penalty on lohrei.. do you disagree with that?

Or are you complaining that I don’t think it’s a dive and that I think the whole play is just a “play on”

I feel like yet again you read a post wrong because I’m pretty sure you actually agree with me that this is just a play on and no penalty by anyone.

He needs to sit rest of thus series. Bring Boqvist back in.

 

[DKH]

Still a long shot but how crazy would it be if ended up Carolina- Boston

I’m so hoping Rangers lose tonight

This game if I remember it was Debrusk, Frederic, Zacha and Geekie that each had all alone chances to extend lead and all their low shots were saved.. They forgot game 1?

I would like an explanation on the whistle being blown when Bob was way out of the crease and the Bruins were buzzing. Oh, I found it:

 

[Gee Wally]

Finally, the Bruins handled the Panthers’ forecheck, and other observations from Game 5 win - The Boston Globe

The Bruins have a chance to square it on home ice and return here for decisive Game 7 on Sunday.

www.bostonglobe.com

▪ It was a tense 2-3 minutes on the Bruins’ bench when Charlie McAvoy’s goal, the eventual game-winner, went to review for goalie interference.


“My thoughts were, make sure you send the right message to the bench no matter what happens,” said Montgomery, asked what he was thinking during the review. “It’s, ‘Hey, we’ve got to get one on the power play, let’s just keep playing next play, next shift.’ It hasn’t been going our way. It was nice that one did.”

“Not good things,” said Coyle, asked what was running through his mind during the review. “You never know what’s going to happen and you just try to, on the bench, say that whatever happens here, we’re scoring again. And doing it the right way. You can’t dwell on anything. You just have to have the right mind-set if it goes our way, great, and if not, we’re still coming. We had to have that mind-set to overcome anything, be relentless, and no one’s going to stop.”

▪ The Panthers were caught for diving (technically, it is embellishing) when Morgan Geekie put a light cross-check on Anton Lundell late in the first period. Lundell went down like Sonny Liston. Geekie was whistled off for a cross-check, initially looking like the Bruins would have to kill a penalty, but the ref took oof Lundell for the fake job.

An animated Montgomery could be seen behind the bench later making an exaggerated diving motion when the Panthers were not whistled for another embellishment at 12:24 of the second. Bruins defenseman Mason Lohrei instead was sent to the box for hooking Eetu Luostarinen, who took a pratfall when tapped with Lohrei’s stick.

“I just think in the league, in general, embellishment is going up,” said Montgomery. “Players are getting better and better at grabbing their heads, snapping their heads back, getting hooked and going with the hook and jumping back. When I was growing up, [Philadelphia’s] Billy Barber was known the best for it and drew a lot of penalties because of it. It makes it hard on the refs because you don’t know if a guy was really high-sticked or was just trying to get a call.”

Im listening to Morning Bru and Razor just said it’s 7 breakaway/ in close chances with time

He said Bobrovsky is coming out and Bruins likely realize you can just go around him like Geekie did
