Post-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 3 - Weeping and Crying in Maple Leaf Square in the springtime air - BRUINS 4 Toronto 2 ( B's lead series 2-1 )

[RiverbottomChuck]

I'm glad he got his first taste- but if Gryzleck had the same night and put em short handed twice he'd get roasted in here

Yeah but Gryz also can’t make a zone exit or handle a check from anyone bigger than him. They make the same mistakes but one has upside.

[Budddy]

Not surprised at all. I don't go there anymore

..the Leafs fan base and Sportsnet crew make me embarrassed to be Canadian

Thankfully my NESN feed worked for the most part tonight, but had to watch Sportsnet for a bit..Craig Simpson is terrible....whining for 2 or 3 minutes on Marchand Bertuzzi tangle...

Monty has to speak up on behalf of the Bruins, mention the Leafs 5-3 PP advantage as well as the blatant missed high stick on McAvoy, etc. Don't let Keefe set the narrative for the officials for game 4.

Agree..i always felt Cassidy let Berube carry the narrative in 2019...hurt the Bruins IMO

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Yeah, I didn't think either Spoon or Lohrei was a problem. Were they perfect ? No. But both played better than Gryz has been

And both players were on the ice for 10 more shifts than Shattenkirk, so it seems pretty clear the coach knows who the weakest link on the backend is.

Yeah I'm fine with playing Shatty because he brings some useful offensive skill to a team that doesn't get a whole lot of drive from its back end. But he needs to be sheltered in terms of his purely defensive workload and minutes. It's easier to do that when Gryz isn't there.

To me, McAvoy, Carlo and Lindholm are the locks, Peeke and Wotherspoon, and Forbort when/if he's fully healthy, are your depth grit. Only one of Shatty and Gryz should then fill out the 6 in any one game to add some transition and puck moving talent. Lohrei's a little bit harder to pin down as to his exact role, but he's in the mix depending on how the rest shapes up.

 

[Number8]

The Bruins killing almost 30 seconds on their own penalty while possessing the puck on Bertuzzi's delayed penalty at the end of the second negated a longer 4 on 4 session with the Leafs and set them up nicely for the PPG to start the 3rd.

Very smart hockey there.

Bruins win in TO on my birthday

An Oiler loss would really put a bow on it.

 

[22Brad Park]

Leafs last 10 playoff games they scored 2 goals 8 times.1 goal once & 3 goals game 2.If Monty does not start Swayman Saturday I think I might have a meltdown

 

[Mione134]

Imagine complaining about calls in THAT game.

Eat shit, Keefe. Your team got away with everything.

I was trying to see Sportsnet post game with their panel. Can’t find it.

 

[bruins4thecup65]

I love Swayman.

Me too
I have ten of his rookie cards

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

I’d like to see that also .

Keefe trying to accomplish two things

First - work the refs for the rest of the series

Second- deflect attention away from how his team booted away the game

Down 1-2 and with an extra day off for the Leafs to hear the incessant howl of the Toronto media while the Bs enjoy themselves in Parry Sound- love it!

 

[Bruins Stooge]

Very smart hockey there.

First time back here in a while! Good to be back and glad I could log in . What an incredible heads up play this was to end the second. Great hockey IQ by Monty and the team. Debrusk has been fantastic to start this series.

 

[BTO]

I

I went sober in Game 1.

Knob Creek bourbon in Game 2.

Sober for Game 3.

Wonder what I should try for Game 4?

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

Do they still
Make Beck’s Dark? One of my fav beers of all time

Don’t know. I (think I) vaguely remember that. Will look. Maybe for round 2

Complaining after getting 5 PPs to 2.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Keefe trying to be Berube/Brind’amour. Problem is he’s not Craig Berube or Rod Brind’amour.

It worked for Berube and Ron Ron.


Monty would be wise to speak up.


Hopefully he does

Keefe trying to be Berube/Brind’amour. Problem is he’s not Craig Berube or Rod Brind’amour.

Might work just as well.

Crying Ron Ron got away with it. Craig got a cup for it.

I never liked Simpson when he played for the Oilers either...he was always a whiner back then

..but now, he's even more annoying as a whiny, overly biased hockey commentator

Bruins are in Parry Sound before next game ?

Yeah when everyone is healthy my 5 who play every night are McAvoy, Lindholm, Carlo, Peeke, Forbort. And then you have 1 of Shatty/ Lohrei to give you transition an an offensive playmaker. My preference is Lohrei, but that assumes they will actually give him the PP minutes.

I had heard that was the rumour going around not sure if it was confirmed

 

[SPV]

I love how all the highlights of Freddy’s goal only show Marchand ‘tripping’ Bert, but not everything that happened in the rest of that confrontation, if there was any call there it should have been matching, but I was really pleased they just let them battle.

Interesting...I'm from BC but in Muskoka on vacation now...was going to Parry Sound when I'm here but maybe will fast forward that plan
