Series Talk: ECSF-Florida Panthers vs Boston Bruins (FLA leads 3-2)

[Chaos2k7]

Also looks like until Bennett is back we will run a top line of Verhaeghe - Barkov - Tkachuk at 5v5, normally Benny is their center.

They only played game 5 together for two periods, had 8 points combined.

 

[Score8]

That doesn't explain why the poll is so lopsided for Florida. It's lopsided because Boston looked bad while Florida looked good.

Boston also might have given Florida home ice advantage for an easier first round matchup for them and it still took game 7 OT while Florida finished off the team Boston was scared of in 5.

You’re putting lots of stock in a poll that’s filled with people voting for or against one team or the other based on hate. These polls are as useful as ice in scotia bank arena in June.

Any news on McAvoy? Looked like he was labouring late in game 7, lots of miles on his legs in round one.

He was awful for a majority of that series. Pastrnak wasn’t stellar either. So far, medically they are fine apparently

Heinen?

 

[Chaos2k7]

Oh, and Leafs fans are obsessed with both our teams, they are convinced its the other way around, but we will see the same suspects all series long, no doubt about it.

He will be fine and ready for his 1-2 cheap shots per game.

Bruins Make Roster Move Before Series Opener Against Panthers

The Boston Bruins recalled a forward on emergency basis the day before opening up their second-round series vs. the Florida Panthers.

nesn.com

Bruins called up Patrick Brown on an emergency basis on Sunday. Unclear as to why, the only known injury is Heinen who is expected back at some point in this series.

 

[TD Charlie]

Heinen?

Battled an injury the last week or so, missed a couple games. I don’t expect him to play tonight

Any word on Cousins and whether he will be deploying the turtle shell after throwing cheap shots?

 

[Outl4w]

Shhhhh! You're not suppose to remind them of that


We all know that gentle push of the ref caused the Leafs to fail to score more than one goal in game 7. Yup. Right on.

U said that not me . Leafs choking is nothing new. Doesn't change Marchand should be suspended per the the rule.

 

[Mach2]

Cats win this war in 5: Pasta and Marchand will be battered and slow.

 

[BB79]

U said that not me . Leafs choking is nothing new. Doesn't change Marchand should be suspended per the the rule.

Obviously neither the refs on the ice nor the NHL thought it was worthy of a suspension much less a penalty. My guess is because they know their guy is also in the wrong for not only overzealously tackling Marchand but on that particular play blocking the door to the bench. If the Bruins got a too many men penalty because he couldn't get off the ice I'm sure you wouldn't be complaining.

Its hard to say what will or will not happen.

No one gave Florida a chance last year, No one is giving Boston a chance this year....

Florida "should" win, but the margins are pretty thin in the playoffs.

Swayman, special teams could be enough to swing this series.

Yes. You can expect 2.3 per game with a 0.2% chance of licking.

Go Cats!

well , i wanted to say Go Bruins , but you brought good arguments in favour of the Panthers

Nick Chezky? He will be in, we are just waiting on Ryan "The Bruin Choker" Lomberg, to have all the fan favorite suspects back in the lineup.

Lol, ok, Pvt. Predictable.

Nuff of that. Drop the puck already.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Some real personalities on either side of this one. Could get pretty explosive. I’m going with the Panthers in 6.

 

[Mathews28]

Lomberg is an effective player. In game, tough for an opponent to like, objectively though he’s effective.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

I know most bruins fans disagree but it’s impossible to hate Lomberg, dude is just fun.

Lomberg is an effective player. In game, tough for an opponent to like, objectively though he’s effective.

Our newest addition Lorentz really came into his own as the 4th line center in the Tampa series, but he wont be playing once Bennett is back and Stenlund slides down again.

We also have Gadjovich waiting in the wings in case of an injury on the 4th line.

Lomberg - Stenlund - Cousins

Should be the 4th line at some point this series. That takes Lorentz, Okposo, and Gadjovich out of the lineup as our 5th line.
