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 )

[bruins19]

Did he explain how?

Marchand getting grief for that dumbass Leaf coach is hilarious. Burt has gotten away with just as much not to mention dumb dumb Domi

To your point, Domi slashes Marchand on the wrist before the opening faceoff of game 1, no call. The play where Bert ends up on his backside was a stick work duel that he started, he just got the worst end of it and, IIRC, Bert is holding Marchand against the boards interfering with him while Frederic scores. It’s a hapless franchise that has totally mismanaged their salary structure to overpay 4 guys at the expanse of defense and goaltending. Add that on to actually claiming that the refs like Marchand and give him favorable calls would be funny if it were not so pitiful.

 

[EverettMike]

If you think driving a guy's head into the ice while he is down is a joke, OK.

You're exhausting.

 

[JCRO]

Tor & goaltending.
Okay, so Keefe needs to consider making a goaltender change.
I checked regular season stats, and Woll (.907 sv) has crappy numbers, but they are better than
Samsanov ( .890 sv) , who's regular season numbers are terrible. Why'd he go with Samsanov and
does he switch ?

From what I read prior to the series start- Those that watch the Leafs feel Woll hasnt been the same since he returned from injury. I looked at his stats. It was very up and down.

I dont think it would hurt them to try a goalie change at this stage though.

 

[Absurdity]

Leafs got 4 straight powerplays through two periods and are whining about officiating.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

I wouldn’t pick Edwards, I’d go with a mostly balanced Brick who summed it up the same way as many of us, could have matched them up or could have just let it go. I thought letting them battle was the right call, I don’t know why none of the stuff Bert did leading up to the trip get mentioned, he was giving as well as getting just fine, and pulled March down just before they crossed the blue line.

Agreed, Brick is way more balanced.

But he's still a homer. Works for NESN. Is a former Bruin. Heat of the moment in the playoffs. We know he's rooting for the B's.

Ray Ferraro works for ESPN. He was right at ice level. I think he was being more objective.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Just saw John Tavares at Home Hardware. He was trying to decide between Eggshell White and Cream.

John Tavares still watches new seasons of Grey's Anatomy.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

You're exhausting.

I'm sorry.

You're probably right.

From the top rope!

The only national analyst who hates the Bruins more than Ferraro was Keith Jones. At least he can hate us from Philadelphia now.

I’ll agree to disagree. I thought it was an obvious match or nothing, and love that the refs had the guts to let them play in the playoffs.

Idk man Eddie O is up there. But Keith Jones for sure takes the cake.

Ray Ferraro sucks. Cant stand him. He thinks his **** dont stink

 

[BTO]

Tonight was the most riotous I have ever seen at Scotiabank Arena.

A woman wearing a Bruins sweater screaming at a woman wearing a Leafs' sweater and the woman suddenly had the sweater torn off completely and she then threw her beer at the woman and security tossed her.....

Everyone senses this series will go the full 7 and Game 7 is slotted for primetime on ABC on May 4th which means Jack's final game on NESN could be a Game 6 in Toronto.

It’s not going 7 with Swayman in net.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Celtics should have fired Mazzulla this morning.

Bruins should've fired Montgomery then after being the runaway top seed last year and being upset by a Florida team that collapsed in the SCF.... and then had the audacity to hire a coach who quit in both CAR/WPG.... WHEN Brunette had done a fine job there

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

This is where your argument falls apart. To think Ferraro is more objective for the Bruins because he works for ESPN is silly. You need to remind yourself of the history of him. Also just working for ESPN making someone more objective is wrong as well. PK Subban is openly rooting for Toronto.

 

[22Brad Park]

Nesn replaying game right now

Idk just looked it up and this is where he went more in depth

"You've got to recognize he's a world-class player, both in ability and how he plays, in the gamesmanship and everything," Keefe said of Marchand. "It's world class, and he's been in the league long enough, as you can see. ... We have to manage our way through that, avoid putting ourselves in situations where he can put us in those spots. And as far as his game is concerned, I think we've managed that pretty well, for the most part. Obviously, tonight, we make a mistake at a key time that allows him to get the winner."

This? Idk I don’t see what’s wrong with this. Seems pretty complimentary of marchand

This is the press session from nhl.com. Not sure why it doesn't let me embed video.

Sheldon Keefe | Post Game | Toronto Maple Leafs

Anyway, listen specifically at 1:00 to 1:25. Next generation complaining about Marchand: "He gets calls. It's unbelievable actually. How it goes. I don't think there's another player in the series that gets away with taking out Bertuzzi's legs like that but he does."

Bullshit whining.

Or if we are to use Sheldon's victim logic, as to Bertuzzi there is apparently not another player that gets away with slashing Marchand's hands and wrists in the faceoff circle in Game One at 20:00 of the first period but he does.

Give me a f***ing break.

 

[Sheppy]

I'm just thrilled I haven't had to listen to Mike Johnson yet. That guy grinds my gears like no other.

It's a tight hard fought series so no team should be drawing 4 straight powerplays but Leafs did somehow.Sheldon Keefe is trying to pine for calls later .It's a bad look for him & reeks of afraid for his job as he feels it slipping away

 

[PB37]

How they heck did not give Freddy an assist on that goal

So Bertuzzi had front row tickets to

- the Frederic game tying goal when he tried to play mind games with Marchand

- the Marchand GWG goal, down on one knee and missing the blocked shot

- the Marchand empty netter to put the game away after Marchand bodied him off the puck, leaving Bertuzzi to float around after the goal barking at the ref


talk about getting owned.

Endzo says hi.
Never forget in the 2011 cup final, game 7, when Bergeron is hauled down on the breakaway Endzo is trying to suggest he used his hand to score.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

John Tavares still watches new seasons of Grey's Anatomy.

Black pepper burns his tongue

 

[SPV]

The Leafs and their fans have to listen to all this nonsense for the next two days, while we might get a few minutes of it on Patriots radio

 

[Number8]

Please don't try telling me how to watch hockey games.

I've been doing it for an awful long time.

As for Ray Ferraro, yes, he is an objective expert witness (analyst). Is Jack Edwards your idea of objective? Be serious.

I'm not telling you how to watch hockey games. I'm calling you out on suggesting that Ray Ferraro is some sort of objective expert witness. He's not. Or at least he's not a very capable one.

And you brought Jack Edwards up, not me. I don't need anyone to tell me what happened between Bertuzzi and Marchand, or validate what I saw it with my own eyes. Eyes that, I suspect, have seen a similar number of games as you.

Give me Sheldon Keefe backed up by Ray Ferraro and you still have whining over one play/sequence. Or maybe Samsonov was so stunned by the egregious missed call on Marchand that he flubbed a routine shot by Freddy??? THAT is the story.

 

[BTO]

Lohrei or Shattmypants - You cant play both IMO. Also dont get me started when they were on the ice together for that one shift. Monty made sure that didnt happen again.

Lohrei had some holy **** scary moments last night. That Marchand goal almost didnt happen cause Lohrei gave it right to a Leaf out front of Sway and got bailed out. We are talking completely differently today about his game if that happened. Also the two penalties like them or not. Its funny how when Gryz crosschecks a guy out front and gets called, its all Gryz being bad. But when Lohrei does it, the refs are being soft.

Shattmypants could be faulted for the Knies goal albeit a nice pass by Marner. Shatt was caught in no mans land and instead of picking up Knies or the shooter, he opted to do nothing. Also of course played 10 mins total cause there wasnt any PP time.

Lohrei has bounced back from performances like that before, and of course is a kid. Id give him another crack but buddy your leash is short. Shatt can sit.

He had the yips that’s for sure.
