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

[goldenblack]

Ullmark is the only guy that showed imo

Linus was our best player, easily.

 

[Mione134]

We better hope that Peeke will be ready to go. Losing him impacted the game.

 

[BTO]

Exactly! With TO’a goalie they should be shooting and shooting and shooting.

And getting the puck to the net when they’re in close. Just flip it towards the net or whatever. Just get it to the net by whatever means necessary. There are such things as rebounds and deflection I hope they know.

 

[Lord Ahriman]

Our defense is suspect at best and #48 a huge liability. I'm not gonna panic, because they already overachieved any reasonable expectation I had. They lose it, I'll be pissed but will not complain at all, but they need to fix some holes to be a true contender again.

 

[22Brad Park]

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.

And nobody done less in a playoff with a team with 135 pts either.Who in nets next game Bucci

We better hope that Peeke will be ready to go. Losing him impacted the game.

That's one injury I'm ok with. We have tons of #5D.

Hopefully he's not gone long though.

Leafs do a lot of dump,and chase was surrounded and there good at it ,lot better than the Bruins are that’s for sure

I actually thought we did this well tonight too tbh. Mostly good decisions.

He's easily one of our best defenders. He's incredible on the pk. He's strong. He hits. He doesn't make mistakes. Losing him tonight showed. Our D looked lost.

 

[Sigh]

Giving up the lead twice in a home game is not good.

Not good, but feels in character.

 

[Carl Hungus]

I hope this ends up mimicking the Vancouver series in the sense that B's won their games in blowouts while their losses were 1 goal games that could go either way

This one could very easily have gone their way

 

[The don godfather]

This will be over in 6

For who?

 

[Tommy Tubs]

I know we didnt play well enough. But I cant overlook the 5 on 3 that didn't happen.

It's whay I hate NHL officiating so much. The whole mindset is "well, they did two blatantly dirty things so we're going to call one on you as well to be 'fair'".

BS

 

[BTO]

Max threw a hail mary to matthews. They got lucky. That is all...

He threw a Hail Mary to Matthews because he could. No one was pressuring. We dumped and changed instead of dumping and chasing (after the start of the game anyway).

 

[Festy1986]

Ullmark is the only guy that showed imo

So no one is out here holding him accountable for giving up the lead immediately?

It was kind of important....

 

[RoccoF14]

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

This post game thread is an exact carbon copy of every post game thread we’ve ever had after losing the first playoff game against Toronto. The only difference is the players’ names….

Toronto wanted it more and their top guys were better than ours. It’s gonna happen. On to Game 3.

 

[The don godfather]

That D is swiss cheese Bruins gotta exploit more of it.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

The Leafs will win this series in 5 if we refuse to forecheck and get after their defense. The Leafs D are retrieving the puck with ease and have plenty of time to pass the puck up ice. Monty in the playoffs is a different coach, I am very concerned going forward, they can't keep on playing scared and letting the Leafs continually attack them, attack their D.

 

[goldenblack]

He's easily one of our best defenders. He's incredible on the pk. He's strong. He hits. He doesn't make mistakes. Losing him tonight showed. Our D looked lost.

Well losing him in game is another thing. It jumbles every pairing and everyone is gased.

I think Spoon will step in well if needed. He plays right side yeah?

 

[NeelyOrr]

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.

Many here can't see the forest because of the trees.

 

[Orr Fourever]

He threw a Hail Mary to Matthews because he could. No one was pressuring. We dumped and changed instead of dumping and chasing (after the start of the game anyway).

Okay.

 

[mar2kbos]

Their forecheck needs to be light years better, you can not play regular season hockey in the playoffs. They reverted back to that tonight. They have a suspect defense make them cough up the puck

 

[frankiess]

Max threw a hail mary to matthews. They got lucky. That is all...

No luck. McAvoy pinched. Bad choice McAvoy.

 

[CAW1313]

Watching Dallas and Vegas and they are at another level.

Bruins are slow as a group, tough to forecheck when you can't get there
