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

[BB79]

This dude rocks and I can’t wait to hate is guts over the next couple games

Panthers and Leafs are always fun to play against, good competition

 

[HockeyVirus]

Bruins are not a good team. It feels like when we lost to the CBJ again. Panthers are going to not even break a sweat

 

[fin8]

I think it’s going 7, and it’s going to be a great series. Watch and see. Bruins!

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Boston barely beat TO lol
Rested Panthers team in 3

The Bruins are rested from taking games 5 and 6 off and warming up in game 7.

The kitties are more rusted than a Chrysler K-car from the 80's

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Bruins fate will be all up to Swayman and as impressive as he's been I doubt it's enough.

 

[Score8]

If they were ass-kickings I might agree with you.
And 2 of the meetings were in Oct/Nov.
only thing regular season indicates is the games will be close.

I’m not banking on a bruins series win , I’m only arguing against the narrative that fla is going to walk thru the bs . There’s enough data to suggest this series won’t be the cakewalk that many people think it will be. Ballsack to a flame I have fla but I wouldn’t be shocked at all if this goes the other way. Hoping it does, but as others have already said the bs are playing with house money, this was a bridge year for the bruins so win or lose the second rd isn’t bad for team that many people thought wouldn’t make the PO.

I don’t expect a walkover in any way. I think many, if not most, such predictions are said with a bitter Leafs face.

Muy bueno

I imagine many in DC would covet your services.
You could make a fortune there during election season.

LOL dude take your L. The Leafs went down 3-1 and couldn't win game 7. It was a close series and came down to 1 goal. If the Leafs could score more than 2 goals maybe they could win more games. Last night could have gone either way.

He doesn't realize that his critique is a slight against the Leafs, not the Bruins, lol

Still sour eh? Don't worry, time will heal.

I know right? I do give the Leafs a ton of credit for battling back and making it a series, they just simply couldn't seal the deal. Nothing to be ashamed about at all. Valiant effort. They're a tough team to best despite the record vs the Bruins being one way over the last 11 years. They just have no luck whatsoever.

Ummm, because Bob is better? Vezina candidate. 11 more wins in 14 more games. 3 more SOs. Better GAA.

Lol ignoring Swayman had a better (slightly) save percentage and obviously had less wins in a 50-50 tandem. And regular season is one thing but let's look at playoff performance so far. Swayman has been on another level, it's really hard to argue that he's not above Bob at this moment in time.

 

[Just Rude]

I think this series is going to be a lot closer than some think.

 

[thekernel]

Panthers in 5. Boston had a huge issue overcoming the injury-riddled Leafs. Now they have to face a well-built team at full power?

 

[Chaos2k7]

Can't wait to get this one started

 

[Outl4w]

Panthers have the deeper team, but Boston has more experience winning in the playoffs. I expect a dirty series and perhaps the league didn't suspend Marchand becausae they thought the Panthers could deliver a better punishment.

 

[Dread Clawz]

Boston isn't an easy team to beat. Florida should win, but I think this is going 6. Hopefully not more.

 

[Bread and Circuses]

This is going to be fun

 

[Donuts]

Panthers in 5 or 6

 

[Gentle Man]

GAA:
Swayman 1.49
Bob 2.78

Save %:
Swayman .950
Bob .896

Swayman has played 2 more games to boot.

Bob had an outlier game in game 4. Yea wasn't good that game but the 5 on 3 at the end didn't help.

Look beyond that game and his numbers bump up a lot

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

I think Swayman can match Bob save for save in this series. This will likely be the best goalie head to head match up for the 2nd round.

But this Florida team just has too many weapons. Tkachuk wasn’t even at his best in round 1 and he still put up 9pts. Verhaegae is stepping up and then you got 57 goal man Reinhart to deal with. If Tkachuk can get back to his form from last years playoffs this series will be short.

Coyle and Zacha are going to get destroyed by Barkov in the faceoff dot.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Reminds me of people who thought Isles would have a chance against Canes.

Does that make the Leafs total shit?

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Would love for Peeke to be back for the series
