[Ladyfan]

Crappy ending.

Crappy trip home

I will read through in the morning.

 

[22Brad Park]

Samsonov was damn good tonight. Ullmark was too. Toronto was just much better up front. So much more jump

Take Samsonov out for Woll and Bruins will have jump too Sorry had to lol

Crappy ending.

Crappy trip home

I will read through in the morning.

Sorry ,hopefully better game 5

 

[Ladyfan]

He lost his attitude. Docile Marchand is no fun

I am not seeing this at all.

 

[22Brad Park]

Wish Boston could have faced Kings ..Man they suck..

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Maroon in the box was a weird one on the too many men/reaves call

Don’t think Marchand remember show to shoot to score

Hope Peekes ok, but have a feeling he’s not

Good game tho,

DeBrusk is playing great

 

[Mione134]

I give Maroon a pass. Guy had back surgery and this game marks a total of 3? Games back after sitting out since February. He's out of shape. We're lucky he's even available to play. Hopefully next game he gets back to doing what he did best in game 1.

 

[DiggityDog]

Marchand crushed me tonight. Needed him to be better.

Ullmark was fantastic.

 

[JCRO]

Anyone else just not really worried?

I still think they’re the better team.

And they will show it. We’re on to game 3.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

It wasn't goaltending. Their best players were better than the Bruins best players.

Mathews 3 points, Tavares goal.

On to next game.

^This exactly. On to the next, playing second half of the game with only 5 D men after Peake got hurt was a factor. This is why depth on D is important: good to have Wotherspoon and now Forbort just in case.

 

[EverettMike]

So on the road we split ? Take both ? Or they take both? Those are the only options.

Lol Don JFC you're the best

 

[22Brad Park]

They showed replay of Matthews goal.Closed hand on puck and took 3 strides with it.

The Bruins were actually playing better hockey on the road than in Boston the last couple of weeks of the season, so I wouldn't be surprised if they win at least one of two games in TO

I predict they come back to Beantown tied at 2, and am sticking with my B's in 7 scenario

Issue is, he is playing. He should be the 13th or 14th forward. A strong game 1 may have misled fans. Brazeau injury may be more impactful than we realized.

Go old school playoffs!! 1 vs 16 etc etc

 

[Olden McGroin]

 

[McGarnagle]

It's an annual tradition for the Bruins to win game 1 at home easily then choke away game 2 with a chance to put the series away and make life way more difficult than it needed to be

 

[22Brad Park]

Go old school playoffs!! 1 vs 16 etc etc

I wish.Be way more exciting .Same matchups every season are pathetic .

 

[DKH]

Just got in

Bummer wasting one of the best games seen Charlie Coyle

Same line of thinking is are they really going to let these leafs beat them three in a row?

I think a tie would be best case scenario for the Leafs tbh

It's going to be a long series, most of us said that from the start. Kind of knew Toronto would respond tonight after their weak showing in game 1. It's one game...I try to look at it this way- if that is their big response, we're in good shape, because they still barely won.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Lifeless is how I’d describe it. Been too many of these nights from Marchand this year

One of the few Bruins willing to hit tonight. As hard as a 5'9 player can hit without suspension that is.

 

[DKH]

Carlo hit Kneis infront of me so hard I thought a split second later they would be bringing out a stretcher

It’s nuts teams don’t dress 7 defenseman for playoffs

Matthews a massive disappointment in these 2 games - basically invisible to that breakaway

Ullmark deserved better

Bruins basically suck at home

Last year lose 2,5, and 7 at home also v Blues lost 2,5, and 7 at home

Just stay in Toronto

 

[DKH]

Bruins centers were all very good - Bruins were ok but 2 too many men is what cost them

They have a player that would be your second best forward out, good thing he is likely close to returning, see you Wednesday. I love this shit.

I thought the same thing but no one was questioning it,I’m not sure it can be challenged,but was surprised no one was questioning it.
