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

[BB79]

they are 1 for 10 on the powerplay. lol

Here I was, afraid that the struggling Bruins PP in the regular season would be their downfall.
2/5 game 1
1/2 game 2
2/3 game 3

5/10.
50% PP vs Toronto's 9.1% Oooof.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Where’s the dude with that cute poem from earlier?

Mitch Marner in the playoffs is easy to contain

But he'll just blame the media for "putting shambles in his brain"

 

[PaulD]

Bruins in 5 in if they Swayman in.
Ya know Oasta is nit going to sleep the entire series.
Big game for him Saturday. Probably get the trick.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Oh, ok, got it. Definitely wasn’t a missed call at all.

As long as you can say that, everything else is the same. Cool.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

they are 1 for 10 on the powerplay. lol


LMAO

This is what it’s like being in the playoffs without the habs being a threat. Obviously imposter Krabs is the leafs.

 

[22Brad Park]

Tavares hight stick McAvoy in face.No call. No problem.

Guess he did.And I know you have no stake in this game, so it's refreshing hearing your opinion.

 

[swiftwin]

Toronto lobbying the officials hard in the post game

The Rogers/Bell cabal is having a harder time lobbying the NHL than they do the Canadian government.

You love to see it.

 

[Sheppy]

As long as you can say that, everything else is the same. Cool.

Do you even know what you’re responding to anymore?

Leafs didn’t lose because of the refs.

They lost because their PP and PK were shit, and Swayman was incredible again.

No more excuses. That’s for losers. It’s time they let their balls drop.

Swayman was the difference. He is a world class goaltender. He is capable of stealing any series.

Why do the Leafs always get stuck playing the best teams that have the best goalies. Lol

 

[NyQuil]

People are just upset that our captain is our captain and their captain is their captain. I get it I would be too

I couldn't tell what leg he was grabbing after he scored the game winning and empty net goals.

 

[Just Rude]

Hahahaha if you think that’s a compliment I don’t know what to tell you.

Sorry, you were saying? When you listen to the entire quote, context changes, doesn’t it?

Sure, it’s gamesmanship but he 100% compliments the little prick.

“Well, I mean, you gotta play through it. You gotta recognize he's a world class player, both in ability and how he plays, in the gamesmanship and everything. It's world class, and he's been in the league long enough, as you can see. He gets calls. It's unbelievable, actually, how it goes. But we gotta play through that, gotta play through that stuff. I don't think there's another player in this series that gets away with taking out Bertuzzi's legs the way that he does. There's not one other player in the series that gets away with that, but he does. It's an art, and he's elite at it. So we have to manage our way through that, avoid putting ourselves in situations where he can put us in those spots. And as far as his game, I think we've managed that pretty well, for the most part. Obviously, tonight, we make a mistake at a key time that allows him to get the winner.”

 

[John Mandalorian]

Do you even know what you’re responding to anymore?

Nice effort.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Marchand owning the leafs so hard

Made domi look like a fool in game 1
Made Bertuzzi look like a fool in game 3

Hell even torontos coach is looking like a fool

Hahahahaha, this is the most disingenuous thing ever. He’s being sarcastic as f***.

 

[winnipegger]

Swayman was good but he didn't steal the game. The leafs clearly lost this game due to their special teams. 0/5 with a generational goal scorer. Ok.

Por que no los dos?

Without Swayman, or the Leafs throwing up an 0-for on the pp, this game very possibly goes the other way. A nice tandem effort

 

[authentic]

Kind of funny how that has worked out but we need to be able to win more than 1 series in 9 tries regardless.

you are right, but we don’t have capable goaltending to do that.

 

[Canadienna]

I don't think the refs favoured any team throughout the game but that ending sequence with the hold on Matthews no call then the Tavares call would make any fanbase mad.

Just a distraction for the Leafs though. They didn't lose because of it.

Maybe the leafs should try investing in a goaltender

Also Marchand has same points as
Matthews, marner, Tavares, and rielly combined

That’s 40 million dollars that coulda been invested in goalie

Mitch needs to get out of dodge(Toronto.)

 

[LetsGoBruins97]

Great to see the coach of a team who went 0/5 on the powerplay tonight is crying that his team didn’t get enough calls instead of his team’s performance on the powerplay.

Nah, he wasn’t crying. He was complimenting Marchand apparently.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

The calls/noncalls are going to even out over a 7 game series. Fairly even IMO after 3 games. It's ridiculous to ref blame. The team that can keep their heads in the game and not get rattled is going to take this series between two fairly even teams.

 

[pigpen65]

Matthews with the chokeaway at the chokeline.
