Post-Series Talk: Boston Bruins Defeat Toronto Maple Leafs (win 4-3)

[Pucklington]

Actually reading through this, some of the Leafs fans convinced me. It is Samsanov's fault the Leafs lost.

If he could have only chipped in a goal this game or even threw a hit.

 

[McGarnagle]

I can't believe how close this was to ending on a Parker Wotherspoon own goal with one second left.

Gotta suck for Toronto, I know from experience that I'd much rather lose 5-1 and have some peace of mind that the team just got beat outright than it to go to OT and have to agonize all summer long about all the near misses and could have beens.

funny you should mention that :



It's a split second decision to go out for that puck, and it involves totally selling out on it against a player coming in with speed. Think 95% of goalies are staying put in their crease for that play.

Maybe i missed something but shouldn,t that have been icing?

Near identical goals, wild

The leafs are lucky they never have to play the Oilers. Mcdavid would put up 20 points in 4 games.


Hope the leafs get respect in the handshake line again, at least.

Apparently the only guy who would've gone out for it is Kelly Hrudey.

It’s been 5 years lol

 

[PlushMinus]

The Bruins are just trolling the Leafs at this point.

"Wouldn't it be funny if we go 3-1 up in the series and then let them win a couple games so we can beat them in a game 7 OT?"
"Yeah, let's do that lol"

So, similar to how the Jets swept the Avs in the regular season, won game 1 of the playoffs, and then got absolutely spanked the next 4 games?

And have absolutely nothing worth bragging about for the entire existence of their franchise?

Paul Maurice hockey.

Pasta beat his man to the hashmarks and even then it's discretionary on who has a better chance to touch it first by the linesmen. Was not icing.

Looks pretty close. Tie usually goes to the defender but I'm assuming they realized that Pastrnak had a better line to the puck to negate it.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Seen a lot of people blame Marner but

1) That was a set play executed to perfection
2) If anyone is at fault on that play, it's Reilly for not immediately heading to the corner when Lindholm dumped it in. Marner is a winger, they never retrieve dump ins, and you can't "slow" a player down that is nowhere near the puck, that's interference.

Marner didn't even skate though... he just coasted. It's emblematic of what he's always been.

Pasta beat Hamonic to the faceoff dot, negating the icing

This is a Leafs - Bruins thread. What are the Oilers relevance?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Apparently the only guy who would've gone out for it is Kelly Hrudey.

Yeah, I gotta be honest here... Hrudey treated it like it was some no brainer play to just go out and play the puck. It happens very quickly and for him to do that would be a very high risk play. And if he plays it and doesn't succeed, everyone's all over him.

That's not an easy play and it's certainly not an ugly goal. I don't see how you can really blame Samsonov on that.

 

[Pucklington]

I read this as, Pasta beat them to the handshake line... And I was like... yes that fits...

 

[Ducer]

fun best of 7 Bruins take a bite out of Florida.

 

[ItWasJustified]

Noticed Pasta blew Marners 'coverage' on the winning goal. Only time I noticed him.

Marner had just jumped on the ice too. He should've had the awareness and the legs to keep up with Pastrnak.

Wow..just wow..its like they knew icing wouldn,t be called beforehand.

my mood and many others mood this morning

 

[ItWasJustified]

WTF is Nylander thinking there? “What do I do on this side of the rink?”

Wtf are you on about? Nylander stayed in the slot so he could grab the puck if it would've been a rebound.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

No goalie goes out to play that, that would be a stupid risk. It's not like Pasta shelfed it on Sammy, he just squeezed it over his skate. Hrudey is a clown and always seems to have such an incredibly dumb take for a former NHL goaltender. I'd bet Hrudey would try and play that, actually, and the forward coming down has an empty net to shoot at because there's no goalie to challenge the shot after misplaying it.

 

[MikeyMike01]

Lotta things you could point to on the OT goal. Multiple Leafs kinda just let Pasta wind up and didn't keep up with him. Samsonov letting the puck go doesn't seem that bad to me, despite what the panel was saying. That felt like a dangerous play to leave your net on.

This is what Samsonov should’ve done:

 

[HaNotsri]

WTF is Nylander thinking there? “What do I do on this side of the rink?”

Pathetic core 4 performance yet again. Matthews looked more disappointed after game 82, when you couldn’t get 70.

He's covering the high slot.

Marner gets fooled by the set play, Reilly doesn't stand a chance against Pastrnak and Samsonov gets a brainfreeze.

You should be ready for that play but game seven and ot means playing tired.

 

[Duder54]

I used to find it mildly amusing every year when the Leafs would inevitably lose in the first round, but it's getting old, even for this Oilers fan. Fringe HF posters aside, no fanbase deserves to be let down year after year like this.
