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

[Lafleurs Guy]

Great 3rd period and OT. Boston has let TO back in the series

 

[Fire Sweeney]

After 50 years, people should know by now that Jeremy Jacobs will never let a 4th home game slip away.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Matthew’s doesn’t play and suddenly the leafs play like they have a set of balls and can pull out a gritty win.

That being said it was still a horrific game to watch.

 

[Strangle]

Us Leaf fans guaranteed ourselves one more game

They have to give us hope or they waste all that suffering we feel

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Absolutely pathetic showing from Boston tonight. Played like losers and lost like losers.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Dreary game. Culprit #1 is the Boston ice. Neither team were able to skate or pass.

Culprit #2 is Matt Gryzlyk who deserves more mentions in the worst playoff performer of all time thread.

Tavares skating approx 3mph was able to one. Arm shove him out of the way the whole way

Complete and utter liability on the ice in the post season and Coaches keep putting him in for unknown reasons

This is going in 7, there is no way Toronto loses game 6

Leafs cannot win at home. I think Boston cleans it up in game 6

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

This is going in 7, there is no way Toronto loses game 6

it would be poetic for Matthews to come back in toronto and blow the game

 

[TimeZone]

The race to get smacked by Florida continues.

Neither team look like a genuine contender to put it mildly.

[Hockeyholic]

I'm assuming Montgomery gets canned if the Bruins blow this?

 

[LastOne2100]

Leafs cannot win at home. I think Boston cleans it up in game 6

Yeah, overcoming Keefe's line matching will be tough for the Leafs.

 

[34]

Toronto should build momentum and confidence here now. Huge win.

Hopefully they get Matthews back for game 6 and handle business.

After 50 years, people should know by now that Jeremy Jacobs will never let a 4th home game slip away.

Maybe he should get better air conditioning. That ice was abysmal. Cheap f***

 

[AvroArrow]

Any word on what happened to Carlo ? Can't believe they won that in OT.

 

[Skullz]

Great game from both goalies. After Boston came out flying to start Overtime I admit I thought we were cooked.

Just gotta find a way to win at home too.

 

[danpantz]

Monty changing up his lineup after that game 4 is puzzling.

Same old Bruins. Have to make it as excruciating as possible.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

This is going in 7, there is no way Toronto loses game 6

I thought TO was done tonight. They were so bad in game four. They were a completely different team tonight.

 

[34]

This is going in 7, there is no way Toronto loses game 6

The Leafs are going to want to put a show on for the home fans for sure.

 

[Hockeyholic]

The race to get smacked by Florida continues.

Neither team look like a genuine contender to put it mildly.

Yeh I see neither of these teams doing anything against Florida. I'd be stunned if it goes past 5 games.

Florida's biggest challenge will be in the Eastern Conference Finals against NYR or Canes.

Many of us have wanted him gone.

I predicted Game 1 he would be replaced by game 3. Indeed he was.

Montgomery overthinks life and dresses him this game.

 

[Commander Clueless]

As much as I would like that.....have you seen our home record lately?


Ain't crisp.

 

[Barnum]

Only through the second round. Jack infamously yelled SUMMERTIME IS COMING TO PHILADELPHIA after the Bruins completed the sweep of the Flyers, and Versus & NBC took over exclusive coverage of the ECF and SCF from there.


I don't know for sure but I suspect it was 1994. MSG definitely covered that one. I think once they got the Fox contract for 1995 it went exclusively national from there. But I may be wrong.

Back when OLN had the broadcasts, they used to do games 1 and 2, give it back to local TV and take over for games 5-7. Something like that. I believe NBC did the same thing. (early 90s)

Tbf Leafs slaying the dragon would keep a lot of people their jobs even if they get slapped by Florida (again).
