Post-Game Talk: GAME 80 - THE BEAR leaves the Penguins for dead - BRUINS 6 Pittsburgh 4

[NeelyOrr]

I'm guessing that Monty would also rather play the Laffs, but he would never say that in public.
And because this Capitals game coming up is crucial in the wild card, I'm also guessing Monty will have the same line-up he had tonight, except for Linus.
But against Ottawa, I'm pretty sure he'll rest some guys.

Tough decision laughs they can score at will plus all this history of not beating bruins since 1950 in terms of playoffs.

They ran into Ullmark twice.

I was pissed. Many Pens fans left the game early . I made my daughter's friends who are Pens fans stay and watch the goalie hug.

Maroon wasn't good but I am cutting him slack as it was his first game back.

We had fun.

I still remember years ago when the BRUINS swept the Pens in the PO's, holding them to a total of 2 goals for the 4 games.
I believe that was the series where Crosby got aggressive towards Chara. Of course, the ref was standing in between them.

Wasn't that the year Iginla choose Pittsburgh instead of the Bruins. And we settled for Jagr

 

[PB37]

The powerplay woes since the All Star break might cost Pasta a 50 goal season.

 

[Carl Hungus]

Great win

More importantly, Cliffy absolutely destroyed Cousins tonight and got tossed. Little bit of karma/revenge

[bobbyorr04]

Marchy needs just 4 more SH goals to become 5th all-time in NHL history behind Lemieux, Yzerman, Messier and Gretzky........not too shabby

 

[CDJ]

Crosby BEGGING to come here

Congratulations to Zacha on a new career high in points!

Great signing

Congratulations to Zacha on a new career high in points!

He does play very well with Pastrnak

Great signing

Great trade and signing to that deal

 

[DKH]

Bruins win last 2 games only a Rangers win prevents them from an outright win or sharing Prez Trophy

The Pens were desperate, this was a solid win. Next up, another desperate team but a dirtier one. I didn't see anything tough from Maroon but it was his first game back. Nice to see some goals coming from players who should be contributing more often.

It still could be Toronto or Tampa but looks like it will be the Bolts in the first round, either way I know my blood will be boiling.

Though technically not a trade, best center for center swap since Andre Savard for Max McNab just edging out the Tommy Fergus for Billy Derlago deal.

Florida home to Leafs and can't see Leafs dressing best players.

Mathews wants his 70th goal, he's dressing for sure.

Cousins was out 12 games with a concussion earlier in 2024 after boarded by Jason Zucker.

I’d be surprised if he wasn’t out again (and he was reaching and had lowered head so Clifton should not have any disciplinary action if I’m making call - unfortunate for Cousins) but not for Leafs

Cousins is a predator and having him out of Leafs series is good for Toronto because one less cheap shot artist targeting their top players and defense

If Betman inner circle decides to call it close on Florida they could be in trouble - reckless team over inflated opinion of selves

Paul Maurice was the Bruins coach last spring Bruins probably win and he goes off on what a dirty team Florida is

 

[Mad-Marcus]

Clifton was not even looking at Cousins, he did a reverse hit on the pressure he felt coming. He hit Cousin's head because Cousins was bent over. Don't you need to be looking to be targeting?
There may be a fine but there should not be a suspension.(whether or not the season is over)

 

[bbfan419]

Me to but my gut says it's Tampa.

I am not giving up on 1st on the East, if the rangers lose their last game and the Bruins win their last 2 games, they will finish 1st in the East, canes I think would have to lose one as well.

Yes it was and in the series clinching win , Bruins scored the only goal in a 1-0 win , goal scored by McQuaid and the shot tipped off Iginla's stick...justice right there and then.

I enjoyed every moment of that series, to see Crosby get so frustrated, that he lost his mind was hilarious!.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Thought that was an impressive win up against another team that desperately NEEDED to win.

Pens had the better first period, but the Bruins matched the intensity right away and were the better team the next two periods. Doubt that’s the style we will see played during the postseason regardless of opponent but loved seeing how they came to play.

Marchand definitely “fights it” more than he did during his prime, but he has not lost any of his drive or intrnsity. Don’t understand how anyone questions him as a Captain. There is no question that is who you want leading on this team.

 

[ProdigalFan]

Glad we beat those dirty Pens. Bunting is an idiot.

Based on our last game with the Cats, I don't think the refs are going to allow them to play that sneaky dirty style in the playoffs again. The refs were calling them out on it. Maybe last year it was entertaining, but I doubt the NHL wants to encourage it. Even one of their fans in their GDT noted it, that stuff that wasn't called last year, was called in the game.
Playing physical is fine and expected in the PO's, but not the dirty crap.

That's why I think the Canes are going to the ECF. They have something to prove after being swept by Florida. I don't think Florida will have the stamina to make it out of the East again.

Same here, I remember talking with another Bruins fan before that series and I told him the Bruins would win and it won't take as long as most people think. Rask played the best I had ever seen from him in that series. Too bad we did not beat Chicago, but they had a great team and the B's were really banged up in the finals.
