BRUINS GDT ECQF GAME 5 4/30 7:11 PM - Jack Edwards’ final home game broadcast - NESN, NESN 4K, ESPN, CBC, SN, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM - B's lead series 3-1

[Alan Ryan]

I'm getting on a plane to Australia. The game is already on given the time change.

It starts in 2 hours and 15 minutes here in OZ. I’ll be watching.

 

[bobbyorr04]

I hope everyone wishes Jack well. Like him or not he loved the Bs and his job.

He will have a smile on his face, but we all know this is sad and killing him inside.

Please stay classy everyone.

I personally will miss Jack........a lot

 

[DKH]

I’ll be moseying across Causeway Street to meet @Ladyfan in about an hour. Have zero ability to focus on work tasks today. I would love an early Bruins lead and watching the Leafs wilt, but my usual emotional hedge is to hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
I have Captain Brad on the pole directly across from my office, so even when I’m not thinking Bruins, I look up and there he is

Here we go BRUINS!! Here we go!!

I may have to get that for Man Cave. I had the one outside TD Garden last year of Krejci but I was instructed give it to your daughter - so it’s in Austin.

Me and Brad both have a little ahole-ish in us so I think I need to see about that

Bruins 5-2

 

[DoubleBack]

Pasta is due for a big game, I expect his line to go off tonight.

Pasta is due for a big game, I expect his line to go off tonight.

And Coyle.
I expect both to have strong efforts and awarded.

 

[HustleB]

if AM34 doesn't play and we lose...

this place is gonna be ugly later

I certainly won't put myself through that.

 

[Boston Bandit]

Let’s Finish Them Tonight

 

[Alicat]

WEEI speculation today Ullmark not happy not playing so may not be rooting for Swayman and Bruins

They were pushing narrative and seems silly but if Ullmark avoids the hug tonight they probably had this theory correct

only gullible morons would believe anything that trash station has to say.

 

[Barnum]

Which is more pathetic? The Montreal 911 nonsense or this dandy (see link)


Marchand's sleeves are too short

I had to post this, I couldn't believe it was real and Laffers were actually crying about it.

[Forester65]

Looking forward to seeing the 4th line winning puck battles and working the Leafs net front. Brazeau and Maroon should be hard to handle.

 

[DistantCuzOBourque]

Any idea how Bruins play in game 5’s at home

I know they lost to Florida last year, the Blues and Islanders but any other recent ones ?

They can’t be that bad can they ?

we didnt lose game 5 to Carolina 2 years back...

 

[Tommy Tubs]

we didnt lose game 5 to Carolina 2 years back...

We did. But that was on the road.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

we didnt lose game 5 to Carolina 2 years back...

We didn't but the Bruins did.

 

[bob77]

Toronto has a lot of adjustments to make, which sometimes is in a teams favor. Bruins almost none. It’s hard in pro sports to beat a team many many times like the Bruins have against the Leafs.

The home team won every game in that series

 

[22Brad Park]

If Bruin fans had to listen to the fluff on CBC when the Leafs are on the tube they would really appreciate what they had in Jack.

I refuse to watch them.Thankgod for nesn rd 1.Read online now about Subban praising Swayman now after being totally against Bruins before series started.We don't need his support that's 4 sure so kiss off PK.

Get pucks deep and go to work is the key.Traffic around Woll ,drive him nuts

 

[KOZ37]

Sorry have not been on today much and can't read through the entire thread.....is Brazeau back in the lineup!? If so who.is sitting??

 

[Number8]

I call bullshit on WEEI.

Is Ullmark disappointed not playing? Of course, he’s a pro and on any other team would be the unquestioned #1.

Do I think he’s “not rooting for Swayman and the Bruins”??? Not on your life.

WEEI and all talk radio is just that. Talk.

 

[DoubleBack]

The Bruins will end this tonight for one reason. Marchand is the captain.

You want with you the guy who will bite the face off someone who jumps in the foxhole after you, not the company chaplain. I said it, I stand by it.

Go BRUINS! ...let slip the dogs of war!!

 

[TorontLoL 67]

Ullmark avoids the hug and then I win powerball. I haven't even bought a ticket which tells you the odds of both happening.

 

[the negotiator]

On my way in

PLEASE close this out now....too many times in the past they have needed to extend the series ..let's change the script and send a message - both internally and externally-that this year's edition marches to a different drummer

Hoping for handshakes and goalie hugs around 9:45

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

This has TRAP game written all over it. This is one of those games where everything points to the previous versions of the Bruins taking their foot off the pedal and letting a team force a game 7.

Please Brad and Co., prove me wrong.

I think it's more of a case of feeling the pressure of the team history.

One bad bounce, get down a goal early and they will feel it. Especially at home where the fans will be feeling it too. May try to do too much.

Just with the memory of last season the B's won't be going in expecting a cake walk.

F... WEEI. How did they find time between talking about the janitors closet near the Patriots locker room? The hockey knowledge on that station wouldn't fill a mop bucket.

 

[Mione134]

The only thing that needs to be said is: win.

Thats it. Play hard immediately. Leave no doubt. Completely finish the job. Give them nothing. Not one inch. End it tonight. Don't mess around like last year. End it. Be physical. Forecheck. Forecheck. Forecheck. Pucks to the net. No fancy passes. Play this game like game 7. Be smart. Take no shit, but don't get goaded into anything crazy. Protect your team. Get this win.

Believe.

And let's send Jack off with a win!


You already know the drill.

 

[KrugAvoy]

The last game 5 home win I can remember is 2014

 

[mar2kbos]

They need to win, or last year will creep into their minds. This one is important tonight, like game 7 importance
