Gotta give it to Babcock for taking advantage of the last change.
Pierre made a comment about Plecky having some trouble trying to figure out his place on the team and that he just needs to relax and take it Game by game.
By getting bumped up in an important role last night, he excelled, much to Bruins fans dismay.
I fully expect the next 2 games to be reffed a lot tighter as the series is starting to get chippy.
Uh.......we played our best game of the series so far, for sure. But the Bruins outshot us 42-30 and had some insane chances last night. If Andersen hadn't stood on his head, they could easily have won that game. Andersen was our best player by far.
I'm glad we won. But lets not get silly about it.
Entertaining game for sure. Bruins could have easily been up about 6-4 if Andersen wasnt lucky and we buried our chances. Not worried about the series - Boston still clearly he better team.
if it does marchand better watch himself. he's been crossing the line quite a bit.
We outshot the Bruins last game. Score effect is a thing.
Yes Andersen was great. The thing is no team wins the cup without a goalie playing out of his mind. You need your goalie to be his best to get anywhere in playoffs.
We were the better team last night, that's not even debatable.
I remember when TSN used to be a professional sports site, now this:
Haha, what is that?
I guess it also will depend on who we have as refs/linesmen.Interesting thought. I'm kind of torn TBH, I don't want to see things get out of hand but on the other hand, the game last night had a great flow to it. But you're probably right, they should probably send a message by sending Marchand to the box early, I'd be good with that.
Yup we saw Marchand beginning to unravel a bit last night.
After he got rocked by that hit in the first he looked distracted / tame. He had a big dive on that Marleau play, obviously slew footed a guy at the face of circle and took a two handed swing at Rielly.
I expect that he will be getting a fine today for some of his antics but it is pretty clear that he is rattled out there. Marchand is a classless rat so I hope he doesn’t become unhinged and hurt one of our players with his actions

LOL. Everything is debatable. But we won, so I'll go with that.
But lets be realistic. That game could have gone either way. They were right in the game the whole time, and if not for our goalie making some INCREDIBLE saves........Leaf fans would be crying this morning.

I'm glad they sent both of them to the box last night. Pushing and shoving is fine but swinging sticks around, not a fan.
That is litterally almost every single game. Not sure why you are trying to downplay a game that we were better.
There is a lot of hockey to play, but last night we were the better team and won.
Because we were just barely better, and you're puffing your chest out and acting like it wasn't super close. LOL. That's why.
Lmao
“We would have won if the goalie didn’t make saves”

The first two games were closer than the scores too, especially game 1, that game was tied 1-1 until 3 minutes left in the 2nd. The final was 5-1, but that was by no means a dominant win by Boston, I'm not saying Boston wasn't good, they were and the better team that night, but not dominant, like some seem to think.Because we were just barely better, and you're puffing your chest out and acting like it wasn't super close. LOL. That's why.
And the leafs outshot the bruins in game 2.
And if Andy hadn't let in 2 stinkers the bruins would never have been in this game.
The MASSIVE difference being that the Leafs were never close in game 2, whereas the Bruins were very close in game 3
Bruins have been the vastly superior team
many, many, MANY great chances to score.
