Post-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 2 - Back to Toronto with the series tied 1-1 - Toronto 3 BRUINS 2 F

[PaulD]

maroon didn’t really have any impact… I’d prob sit him next game

Is Brazeau ready yet?

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

This will be over in 6

 

[22Brad Park]

Monty is the king of over coaching.

Never ever recall a play off game where a goalie is the first star in game one.....and doesn't get the start in game 2.
Montys world.

I can't stand him.Last yr same shit vs Florida,with D

 

[goldenblack]

Yeah considering we were down to 5D, that was still wicked close.

With the goalie pulled that puck was right there in the crease. Matthews tucked it away. Game of inches.

 

[PaulD]

Long series people we knew that. Not sure what some expected

A good third period at home.

 

[Clode]

Giving it back immediately after the opening goal was the killer. I worry about this teams ability to maintain playoff level intensity on a night to night basis. Saw it a lot in the regular season where they'd play a game like they did on Saturday and then wouldn't replicate it for another month.

It's not the goalies fault though.

 

[goldenblack]

I can't stand him.

You do realize our roster is devoid of high end talent (forward) and Monty got us over 100 pts. You ....know that, right? Like we barely have 3 top 6 forwards. Marchy is no longer one.

 

[NeelyDan]

the worst part about a loss is all the mouth-breathers in here lol

 

[BamBamCam]

This will be over in 6

So the Bruins win game 5 then?

 

[smithformeragent]

I’ve seen enough playoff series at this point to get overly worked up over game 2.

 

[PaulD]

I can't stand him.Last yr same shit vs Florida,with D

I'm not surprised.
He was the main reason they lost to Florida last year.
Complete sabotage.

 

[CAW1313]

Completely disagree.

After Peake left that had an effect. They wore down.

But the gameplay was fine. Samsonov made some crazy lucky saves. Gotta bury those. Could have easily put up 4-5 tonight with a full lineup and some puck luck.

I’d be the first one to be doom and gloom…but I’m just not seeing a bad matchup with this Leafs team.

I can’t see Toronto winning another 3 of those kinda games. They got it done. Barely.

I hope you’re right but I very soured at the moment and I cannot handle losing to the Leafs. I just expected better and wanted to be up 2-0 against these asshats. Remember we are playing again another team and the officials.

Better coaching. How does Debrusk not see ice 4 on 4 after 2 goals game 1.Twice to many men penalties.They lose this series I hope he gets same treatment Bruce got here.

 

[NeelyOrr]

I will keep repeating what I've posted a few times this season:
No team in the NHL this season has done more with less than this BRUINS' team.
Instead of blaming Monty, just check the reality who is on this team. This team, unfortunately, isn't blessed with a whole lotta talent
This is a hard-working, overachieving team and I, personally, credit the coach.

 

[Mione134]

You have to give a full team effort. It can just be a few players. Dumb mistakes cost us. Can't have too many men on the ice twice. The lack of shots on Samsonov. Not enough forechecking. We knew the Leafs would pushback. We took it to them pretty well. Then it seemed some players just got slow and un-engaged. You can't have that. Your mistakes is what they capitalized on.

Shake this off and be ready to go and win in their barn.

 

[Cam14b]

Tough game, we need to sit 48. 73 and 25 spend too much time covering for him. It makes their own games suffer.

Marchand has been playing poorly since goal 399. He needs to bury a few for us to a chance.

Swayman starts game 3. Might need to add JVR for Maroon. We may need Wotherspoon and Forbert.

 

[Widdlez]

The entire D core was brutal at times tonight. Gryz, Shatty, McAvoy. Only D who showed up was Peeke and he got hurt

yeah i have no idea why we are playing baby soft d-men like gryz and shatty if their breakouts end up looking like they did tonight, i think literally any d-man in the league is plenty capable of blindly throwing it up the boards so why not just play a big one and teach him our foolproof breakout strategy

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Look, I like the idea of having Maroon available.

But I'm not sure I like the idea of rolling him out there at critical scoring moments. Especially for a team that refuses to dump and chase as a way to enter the offensive zone. He's worthless on zone entries and the cycle.

Use him as a physical presence ala Ryan Reaves but let's not force anything. At the end of the day, he's not exactly gifted offensively and he's coming off a pretty substantial injury.

 

[Clode]

It's not the goalies fault though.

Ullmark is the only guy that showed imo

 

[NeelyOrr]

Better coaching? How about some better players?

Take for take this is 100% right.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

For who?

He will be in there. Tonight it was more about his timing and conditioning. Last game he had the adrenaline going. He will be better in game 3 and we need his leadership right now

Regular season is over.

This is about coaching a series.

 

[CheerstoBeers]

Not that Ullmark lost us the game but Swayman should have started. This isn't regular season, he played an awesome game 1, the team played great in from of him. You ride that hot goalie til he gives you a reason not to. This back and forth nonsesne is getting old,especially now when all of a sudden theyre facing a oh no what do we do now, who do we start. Should have been Swayman all the way til he lost then back to Ullmark and so on..
