Series Talk: ECQF: Boston Bruins vs Toronto Maple Leafs (Series Tied 3-3)

[WetcoastOrca]

Try Bertuzzi,and Domi on the PP.Use other players other than the ones that have been sucking for so long.Thats on the coach.

Sure. But when the 3 highest paid players on the team can’t produce on the PP they have to ‘bear’ some of the blame. Pun intended.

 

[Bruins4Lifer]

Back in 2019 the Leafs wiped the floor with the Bruins every game during the regular Season, how'd that end up for them?

Colorado was humiliated all Season long by the Jets

Isles and Canes split their regular season matchups, as did the Caps and Rangers.

Whole different game come playoff time kiddo.

Are you thinking of a different season? 2018-19 the Bruins were 3-1-0 against the Leafs. 2019-20 they were also 2-0-1 against them.

Would have been 2017-18 in that case, they didn't meet in the playoffs in 19-20.

 

[BB79]

The league is so tight nowadays. I’m surprised more people aren’t understanding missing a healthy Nylander is a massive blow. He was their #2 threat this season and for some of the season he was the #1 guy.

We don't get a pass from anyone for having a wounded Bergeron and Pasta against Florida in 2023, so no quarter given.

 

[PaulD]

Anyone who didn't say it's going 6 or 7 games was kidding themselves from the start

Half the SN talking heads crew had leafs in 5.
One had leafs in four.

 

[PaulD]

Thoughts on Toronto?

leafs got a lot of breaks last game. then a ton of their fans whined about not getting enough powerplays.
Guess when your pp is 1 for 11
and your pk is 5 for 10.
Frustration boils.

Maybe, but I’m more of a believer in what have you done recently, and not a big fan of hitting some magical switch that erases 4 games worth of evidence that maps out how teams stack up against one another.

If they didn’t pick like that, there would have been a crowd with pitchforks and torches outside SN. Call it a life decision.

It isn't a magical switch, if you can't tell that the intensity increases ten fold when the playoffs hit, you aren't paying attention.

Florida looks like a vastly superior team to Boston and Toronto right now, point blank.

Well if fla couldn’t find enough energy to win a single game this season vs the bruins it doesn’t speak well to their mental make up.

They had enough energy to beat a much better Bruins team last year, if you want to put all your stock into 4 regular season games be my guest, the Bruins would be significant underdogs to the Panthers.

You want to bring up last year but discount them losing 4 this year?? You make no sense

I put more stock into playoff history in the playoffs than regular season history, yes.

Ask Jets fans how they feel about their domination over the Avalanche this regular Season

Yes...agreed....
It would be nice for a coach to show some balls,and try something different,and watch while everyones jaws drop at the same time for trying it.Put Domi,Bertuzzi out first...message sent,and leave them out,and give them a fair chance.I dont expect the 3 highest paid guys to do anything at this point.They have no luck at all.They have had these same results even with a health Nylander.

So the Magic switch argument again…got it.

"Time to leave Marchand alone,just play it straight up.If there is a chance to hit him,then do so,but dont go out of your way"

That "magic switch" sent Florida from being a bottom feeder that should've missed the playoffs to the Stanley Cup finals.

If you can't comprehend the difference between the playoffs and regular season then you need to spend less time posting and more time watching the sport.

Enough with the strawmans.

You’re the one moving the goal posts . Last year history matters but this years history is irrelevant?! Guess we’ll have wait and see if they meet up.

The regular Season is irrelevant right now, as are last years playoffs.

It's not that complex.

Are the Bruins inferior to the Flames, Seattle & Minnesota?

Clearly, they went 0-3-3 against them this Season.
