Pre-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 6 5/2 8:14 PM - Jack Edwards' final game MUST be a B's win - NESN, TBS, MAX, CBC, SN, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM - B's lead series 3-2

[Guelph Bruin]

I'm going to believe this team has the fortitude to advance to round 2, I don't have a choice... I threw my lot in with the Bruins a long long time ago which includes this current group of over achievers ...GO BRUINS!

 

[KnightofBoston]

If the Bruins win this series I'll be taking an infraction on the main boards, no f***ing doubt in my mind. I'll bully those nerds off the internet.

Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed

 

[Boston Bandit]

Alright, enough of the Debbie Downer bullshit, it’s time for some positivity.

B’s are winning tomorrow night and are going to light up Woll, like they should have last night! Marchy, Pasta, Coyle and Zacha all score along with 1 from McAvoy. Don’t know who will be in net but it won’t matter. Let’s fk’n go Bruins!!!

This is the mentality of an athlete and not a complaining fan. I like it

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Holy overreaction.


Glad to see they are going back to what worked.

I think you play Ullmark

Is playing Ullmark a cautious approach in that you want a rested Swayman for game 7 or is it a hunch that he will come up big ?

They have to throw the kitchen sink at winning game 6, does anyone truly have confidence that the Bruins will win game 7 at home, we truly suck at TD Garden.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

I've got about 0.1% of confidence that this game is ending Thursday. Wouldn't be very Bruins of them to let us relax with a win before game 7.

Play like they did in game 4 and they will win . Bruins blocked a ton of shots, where was that last night? Need a monster game from Pasta that we often see in the regular season but haven’t seen yet in the playoffs.

My thinking is if they play Swayman in game 6 and lose, then what do you do in game 7? Just play Swayman again? Because if you switch to Ullmark in game 7 it's almost (reverse)identical to what they did last year against the Panthers when they went with Swayman in game 7 after riding Ullmark most of the series... idk.

Not really but all of the concerns that we have about the Bruins , the Leaf fans also have about their team . I was petrified that they were going to lose game 7 in 2019 but Rask was solid and I remember them playing very well.

I think the Leafs would rather see Ullmark . I would play Swayman,he was the only Bruin who showed up last night. Didn’t he kind of pull a Mark Messier in a post game comment and say the Bruins were going to win the next game ? I like the kids swagger .

That he would come up big

 

[The don godfather]

They just gotta play their game and block the noise.

 

[Zillah]

Stars knights in a hell of a play off game.

West is soooo much better than the east..

That was a great game but Rangers , Canes and Panthers might have something to say about it

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

That he would come up big

There’s a lot on the line for him personally. He may not have a choice in the matter if the Bruins could find a trade partner for him and want to move him but playing well tomorrow night would go a long way towards the Bruins wanting to keep him.

Monty's new D pairing for Game 6

 

[Alan Ryan]

Shatty has sucked. Gryz got out muscled but is still even in the series. Shattenkirk -3 while being sheltered. Bruins short a D and a difference making forward. Same now as it has been all season.

A top 4 defenseman and an impact forward are the most important additions in the off-season.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

The OT goal was a brutal overall effort defensively. There were 4 leafs at one point or another in that rush that dipped below the other 3 Boston skaters. 73 and 13 equally suspect, caught watching the play and not covering Knies. Just brutal TEAM defense.

Well, all regular season overtime was embarrassing.
Why not continue it into 5 on 5 ot!

Thing is if you play Swayman in game 6 you're pretty much saying Ullmark is done as a Bruin and barring injury won't ever see the net again. I'm not necessarily against that, but you really can't go Ullmark game 7 if Swayman loses game 6. Monty goes Ullmark game 7 after that and Ullmark doesn't deliver it'll be Monty out the door.

So you either stick with Swayman to the end of the series or you go Ullmark game 6 and if he loses Swayman back in game 7. Swayman game 6 and then Ullmark game 7 would be insane.

I just want Beecher back in so they can win a face off or two.
