ECQF: (2) Boston Bruins vs (3) Toronto Maple Leafs | Boston Leads Series 3-2

[AcerComputer]

Guess Edwards didn't want the refs to blow the whistle when Campbell blocked the shot and broke his leg, limping and screaming in pain. What a miserable pathetic hypocrite of a man he is.

The refs blew the play dead because they were feeling guilty for not calling a penalty. Of course Jackass Edwards won't criticize the refs for the initial botched call.

 

[SavedByRoy]

Go Leafs! Finally got the first win.

 

[Peiskos]

Have you ever listen to Joe Bowen?

Joe Bowen is radio only, the Leafs removed him from the air because his bias was a little much at times. Bruins don't seem to care how homer they appear. Guess that's just a small difference in philosophy between these two organizations.

 

[AcerComputer]

Four pages of thread/game discussion and not one mention or complaint about the blown (delay of game) call by the refs, which led to a goal on the ensuing powerplay? Hmm....

The leafs won by 2 goals, without scoring on an empty net. Do the math.

Yeah the Leafs have to use Vancouver's play-by-play announcer cuz they can't find one unbiased. LOL

 

[Drytoast]

Really did a bang up job on that in the first two games.. Marner did good getting some points when Bruins already scored 10 goals.....

Nope the leafs were not skating in 1-2. Doesnt mean chara is a fast skater tho does it?

In 2005, Hughson was hired by CBC as Hockey Night in Canada's secondary play-by-play announcer. In 2008, he signed an exclusive six-year contract with the CBC, leaving Rogers Sportsnet at the conclusion 07/08 season.

Hughson and Simpson haven't been considered Canucks regular commentators for an entire decade, come out from under your rock anytime.

Leafs main commentators during regular season are Paul Romanuk and Greg Millen who are FAR from biased. Occasionally we get Gord Miller and Ray Ferarro who are also easily the most professional unbiased commentators in the sport.

Uh... what?

 

[Rob Brown]

Have you ever listen to Joe Bowen?

Really not comparable. Edwards is way worse.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Oh, Lord.

 

[LMFAO]

Who wins game 4 will win the series

 

[Peiskos]

Uh... what?

Joe Bowan isn't on the air anymore, he only calls the games on the radio, is this difficult for you to understand?

 

[b in vancouver]

That was a strange game.
Not sure what the refs were doing? Was kinda like how you'd ref 16 year-olds versus 12 year-olds to keep it fair, always expecting that no matter how much you favoured the 12 year-olds, that the 16 year-olds would win. But they never.

not if Toronto wins game 4.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

What's difficult to understand is the part where you say the Leafs removed him from TV for being biased. When the hell did that happen?

 

[93gilmour93]

not if Toronto wins game 4.

Especially if toronto wins game 4

 

[bobbyorr04]

Probably because of Marchand. Even his own fans are turning their backs on him.

 

[Loosie]

Found this funny.



Make sure volume is on, Edwards being Edwards

Let me guess, he was fine with the play being blown dead when McQuaid took the puck to the throat?

I didn't see a bone sticking out so play on......

They weren't skating in the first two games? You are going to have to explain to me why they weren't doing that... apart from the fact that they were!!! Were they on snowshoes? I'm lost... I guess the playoffs just aren't important enough? hmmm...

Obviously Chara isn't a great skater.. there are plenty of players that can compensate for that by being effective defensively, and being 7'0 tall on skates sure helps..

 

[ColbyChaos]

If Boston hasn’t had insane puck luck and official help, they’d still be looking for their first win.

Suck it up.

Will Kadrigate be the main excuse if the leafs lose this series

 

[Pi]

Bitter about what? We're ahead in the series. This game could have been another blowout if it wasn't for some serious luck in net by Anderson. With the way the Bruins are getting chances on that butter soft Leaf defense, I'm not worried going forward.

Pipe it down a bit. Boston hasn’t won in Toronto in two years. Kadri comes back in Game 5.

Plekanec shut down Bergeron. Bergeron and Marchand were too busy hacking and whacking at Plekanec that they never bothered to play.

 

[Ciao]

Feels good man

My favourite part of the game. I thought it was the turning point.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Good win, but the Leafs are still the heavy underdogs. They need to win the next one just as badly

I thought Boston was supposed to be a team of tough bullies who are favored if the refs put the whistles away, which they did. Not sure why you'd whine
