Dave you are a smart guy you know Domi sucks he’s a hack

He wasn’t last night.

 

[The don godfather]

No excuses they have nylander out and that's like a 90 plus point winger.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Yep, should be up 2-0. Makes no sense why this team can never step on the throat.

 

[GordonHowe]

I'm not surprised by the outcome as I think we all suspect this series is going 7 games

Toronto played desperate hockey on Monday night and the B's did not - The Bruins WILL win a game in Toronto

Agree with all save the brave prediction.

I reckon you're right, but superstition intercepts optimism,

 

[Walkenthewalk]

Guessing

Hampus - Charlie
Gryz - Carlo
Spoon - Shatty


That's fine imho. If Gryz gets hung again, Forbort is coming in

Why wait? The Leafs aren't likely to let up. Keep Gryz in reserve in case Shatty starts to falter.

God that's awful news about Andrew Peeke. Bruins just cannot stay healthy.

We have......two guys out.

One is a 4th liner with under 20 NHL games. One is on our 3rd pairing.

Leafs are missing a dude darn near pasta level. If nothing else it sounds like we're doing well. Forbort due back and he wasn't supposed to be. Brazeau practicing. We're gonna be ok...

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Back when we had back to back games this year vs TO we needed a good solid grind it out road game to win in their building. We did just that. Time to do it again. Take the series back by good structure in our own zone and the forecheck that worked in game one. We hate that we lose at home often in the playoffs……TO does too as they have done it often enough. Don’t be surprised to see them lay an egg in game 3 or 4. Long series and lots of hockey left.

Let’s go Bruins!

 

[DKH]

He wasn’t last night.

He blows - loser like his father

 

[Bruinfanatic]

He blows - loser like his father

He blew the first game but not last night,not saying I like him I don’t just giving the facts.

 

[goldenblack]

I actually don't even care if they lose in 6 or 7 if they play fast/hard, hit, and shoot.

Could care less after that.

Play to your potential. That's more than enough for me.

The fact that the,Bruins have given up home ice doesn’t bother me in the least ,it shouldn’t anyone,they have literally sucked at home in the playoffs for years ,2011 was definitely an oddity,before that and definitely since home ice really hasn’t been their friend.

 

[PatriceBergeron]

Our D has to be better. Carlo has been very good.

I think this is two seasons in a row where Carlo has been our best defenseman in the playoffs.

The play of McAvoy, Lindholm, and Grzcelyk is just so underwhelming now multiple postseasons in a row. I really thought McAvoy was going to develop into a stud #1 shutdown D, and now often times it feels like he’s the one that makes the key mistake to lose the game.

This is the playoffs.

Winning is what counts now.

 

[Hookslide]

We can all have our say about Gryz, but to be honest I do not think it is going to matter, I think Monty has seen enough of him.

I get what you're saying. However, I'd prefer the Bruins' goalies steal the series, and move on to the 2nd round.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Yeah but not often the latter is accomplished without the other in the playoffs .

 

[gerrycheeversmask]

Yeah but not often the latter is accomplished without the other in the playoffs .

I dunno, maybe you could steal a round or two with hot goaltending like the Canadiens used to do.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Yeah but not often the latter is accomplished without the other in the playoffs .

This is true.

But I'll take execution and luck to offset them.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Hopefully the Bruins don't disrespect their opponent as much as some posters in here

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Not sure the Bruins should try to do it with the Leafs .

 

[Alicat]

I'll take a loss to Toronto over what Vancover is dealing with any day. They just lost Demko and it looks long term. A smidge of perspective.

B's will be ready for game 3.

 

[SPV]

I don’t really think anyone as an individual has played terrible for us, everyone has moments or mistakes, but I wonder if the giveaways or failures to clear the zone are on the players or the system. This team has struggled with strong clears all year. Many times I’d rather they take an icing over a weak clearing attempt.

 

[lopey]

Worthspoon likely in for Peeke

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Worthspoon likely in for Peeke

Makes the most sense

 

[DarrenBanks56]

Worthspoon likely in for Peeke

and hopefully lorhei in for gryz
