Post-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 5 - BACK TO TORONTO - Leafs 2 BRUINS 1 F/OT - Boston leads series 3-2

[Clode]

How high are the chances we see Ullmark in Game 6? 50%? 80?

 

[TD Charlie]

Love that everybody is still talking about Florida too. Cool. I don’t give a fuuuuuuck about Florida

 

[bruinmann77]

I too worried about 73 played a mediocre game at best. This team if don’t win game 6 will never win a game 7 at home

 

[Johnny4778]

Any coach ever fired in the playoffs??

 

[The Murph]

Why? What has this current team ever shown you that makes you think they can close out a series?

Very good chance they can and will. If Bruins were down 3-1 and won game 5, people would be hanging on saying this team could pull it off, "it's the Leafs". But lose the last game still being up 3-2, oh no this team is trash, no heart, can't finish a series.

Get it, the loss is fresh as can be, but they still most likely beat the Leafs.

100

I really think the bruins end it Thursday night, despite Monty, but dam he needs to stop over thinking things and making dumb ass decisions.

Gonna need to do it 5 on 5 .The NHL wants game 7 on Sat .

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Anyone else not even mad? Like, I'm laughing my ass off at how predictable that was

It’s predictable but definitely mad.

 

[analyser]

Bruins are really playing with fire, giving Mathews a chance to come back in the series. You can hold him down for a while but if he gets open he can pot a few in no time.

If Bruins lose game 6 well their is no way I am watching game 7.

 

[Maine Fan]

For some reason I have two people in mind when I want to place blame. Montgomery and Coyle. Do you think I am wrong? Do you want to pick one?

 

[The don godfather]

If this loss doesnt light a fire up the teams arse nothing will. After last year choke and another game 5 loss in overtime what more motivation do you need???

 

[bobbyorr04]

I simply don’t understand why Monty had to change the lineup when things were working in our favor with the players from the last 4 games.

He's either betting against the B's or has the IQ of a flea

 

[Babajingo]

Gryz did what he needed to do. Not sure what else he could have done? Mac and Coyle not paying attention didn't help

He tried to pinch him at the blue line (half ass attempt). Then he couldn't muscle Tavares away from the crease. Have to guide him behind the net.

Keep the player on the perimeter. It's D 101. He can't do it.

But the question hasn’t been answered. What have they shown that makes you think they will win this?

 

[BruinDust]

McAvoy in particular, for an Assistant Captain hasn't raised his level of play in the last couple of years. Tonight he was unhinged IMO. No excuses either because he had his binky from BU with him.

Mid-way through the 3rd period McAvoy carried the puck on his fore-hand around the back of the Leafs net, and when he got to the other side there was a crystal clear lane to just change direction quick and drive the the net with the puck and would of been great scoring chance instead he passes the puck back to the point (I can't remember who the D was he passed too). Point being it was maddening perimeter play just get the puck to the net.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Every time the Maroon line was on the ice, the puck would just get thrown around the boards endlessly in the offensive zone until they lost possession. This happened over and over and over again. It's like they were all daring one another to actually try to and create a real scoring chance.

Not a single line was in sync. It's almost like the lineup shouldn't have been tampered with.

 

[Coach Parker]

I hope for you all they win Thursday (again, working and on set the entire time) and they actually give a shit.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

They're gonna do it again aren't they

Very good possibility I’d be shocked if there wasn’t a game 7

 

[Lordstanley]

Does anyone here think the Rangers are going to win the cup this year...? Lol .....It was just a joke people....ease up.... Bruins in 7

 

[PatriceBergeron]

Carlo has been the Bruins best defenseman multiple playoffs in a row. Absolutely need him to play or they’re in trouble.

 

[DiggityDog]

As Ma and Pa DoggityDog used to say

“I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed”

 

[PaulD]

When you watch the same show over and over it starts to get pretty predictable

Well they have been lousey at home in the play offs

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

But the question hasn’t been answered. What have they shown that makes you think they will win this?

See games 1, 3, and 4.

I'm not guaranteeing anything. But they obviously CAN with this. What we saw tonight is far below what they've shown they can do this series. And they've certainly been able to finish off Toronto many times in the recent past despite nearly choking it away.

 

[Sheppy]

Anyone want to do some meth and throw rocks at trains?

 

[Maine Fan]

I can't blame Swayman but maybe we should have played Ullmark.
