I need a shower after reading their pgt. Delusion doesn’t even cut it

He saying Frederic told masters during 1st intermission about Leafs staying in locker room .This guy seems to think that was motivation.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Agree kind of. We played good sound tough hockey. How many fights in the playoffs? If our PP regains form we will win a lot of playoff games.

In the playoffs it isn't about fighting but the scared mentality is damning.

Trick is to play hard between whistles.

Just beautiful. I love them.

 

[CDJ]

Lol they’re mad at Marchand taking out Knies

Fair, fair

Oh well!

 

[Alicat]

I need to know who pissed in Charlie Coyle’s cheerio’s because I loved his physical game tonight.

 

[Grimey]

Pretty sure I got banned over there for doing that. I’m not kidding. Laughing at hilarious posts isn’t allowed.

Just be glad nobody crosschecked you in the head for finding a post funny.

The Bruins weren’t the ones who were scared tonight.

Name me any Cup winner where you could have tried to jump their captain (and then asst captain) in a blowout game ... with no response.

Bring in Olivier ASAP

I want to know what that nut Steve Daigle trying to sell saying Marchand drove shoulder into head of Knies and injured him.I saw him bent over but never saw that.Did that happen?

 

[DKH]

My god Domi is ugly

Yeh what happened to him he looks out of a horror movie

Yes intimidating your opponents is important but the skill portion is more important. Marchand Geekie Frederick,lauko,Mac bring it. Pasta hits more than any top star at his level. I believe its more important to have players who don’t get intimidated than to have players who intimidate. Our 4th line has been unreal the last month. I like our team

This guys out to lunch. Funny that Marchand is a headhunter but no mention at all of the crosscheck to the throat. TO media is so biased it’s hilarious! Maybe if they had a player of Marchand’s grit, talent and determination they would get railroaded every spring.

If you live in Canada get ready over the next three days to hear more about Marchand going after Knies and the media pity party. Barf!

 

[DKH]

Lauko & Brazeau were very good tonight - Lauko speed and willingness to hit the what they need

They pick up someone they would have to sit

Yes I am fine with things as is but can't lie. I would not mind one capable goon to dress when they feel fit.

 

[BadBruins]

Great win. Liked the level of response physically. Still wish there was more of it. I would say that was an appropriate level of pushback. I think Tie Domi's kid would have felt the brunt of it at some point.... had he not chose to become a tough guy after the game was already over. TSN Broadcast was embarrassing.

Best players were involved emotionally and physically. Marchand, Coyle, Pastrnak, McAvoy. etc... Same can't be said for the other side. Maybe Grzelcyk's best game this season. Smayman is a beast. I like the edge he seems to play with has too... Always engaged. Not afraid to get in the face of those who come into the paint.

I would double down on the defense if there's any move to be made before deadline. That combined with goaltending is your ticket IMO.

That #13 could lead us to a cup if he brought that game every night. Unreal.

Were you surprised what your friend said on his podcast about #55 last night. I was. Looks like kieth Primeau. Just wish he score a bit more. I’m totally shocked at how good he has been.

 

[GordonHowe]

Domi throws punches against Marchand.

Nobody on the Bruins does anything about it.

Domi then goes out his next shift and does the same thing to McAvoy.


Wake the **** up if anyone thinks this team has what it takes to go to true battle in the playoffs.
Wotherspoon getting fed every punch thrown in his fight changes none of that.

All true. And this is the Leafs we're talking about.

Tonight was a mix of TO, 2011 and a desire not to embarrass the Cup team, their captain, their fans, and themselves.

For one night, it was glorious to see. The fight in the Bruins, if not the intimidation or swagger.

But -- sorry, sorry -- they are not a physical team, and wishing won't make it so.

It would be nice if Sweeney could pick up a couple of bangers and maybe even Lindholm. But playoff teams are not built at the deadline. They are built over time, with a clear vision as to what succeeds in the second season.

Don Sweeney has never constructed a true playoff contender.

The kind which, you know, makes it past the first round, never mind the second.

He was handed a still vital core of champions and failed to augment them properly, or at all. Boston needed the next generation of character, skill (yes), physicality, and attitude in the post Chiarelli era. Sweeney discarded such players and dismissed their utility. (Similarly, DK#46 was left to negotiate a revolving door of inferior linemates.}

What Big Brain valued and emphasized instead was "speed and skill," which, after nearly a decade, has left the Bruins bland, timid, and easily shut down by an aggressive forecheck or physical play.

I hope the Boston Bruins will return, someday, to their roots.

As long as Don Sweeney holds the reigns -- whilst the old man raises ticket prices by 10% in a single season without blushing & rakes in his playoff gate -- that will not happen.

I wish I was wrong.

I don't think I am.

They will add H Lindholm

Grzelcyk playing his best hockey at right time

Lohrei almost fell going backwards again - going to be very good but I’d like a hammer added
