Blood bath. Snoozer. Blowout. 2-1

Who the f*** knows at this point

 

[Idiot Stick]

these guys encapsulate my emotions these playoffs

 

[Mathews28]

Gym shortly

8 sets of 8 reps for W and Pasta goal
Worked in game 7
What the hell

Lets gooooo!

There's something awesome about having bad blood spill over before the series has gone deep. We'll see what their appetites are tonight, especially if one team is getting blown out again.

Lame

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Just as I predicted after game 2. Warnings to the teams for essentially being too intense. Funny that the NHL says the current playoff format is to help create intense rivalries. When rivalries get intense the NHL cries and warns the teams. Which is it, Gary?

 

[wintersej]

Just scored some seats. Hope the boys are less nervous than I am. Funny how things go from “I’ll be happy if the Bruins win a round this year” to “WE MUST MURDER THE PANTHERS AND DRINK THEIR BLOOD” so quickly.

 

[Catscountry40]

Murphy calling for violence on Tkachuck. I see how this will go! Boston is going to have someone like Maroon drop the gloves,Boston fans will call out Tkachuck for not fighting, but it isn't worth it for Fla to lose 5 min of a top 6 player in a game early.


Maroon sitting makes actually makes Boston better.

"BOSTON vs FLORIDA, LIFETIME SERIES- The Bruins and Panthers have played two lifetime playoff series with the Panthers holding a 2-0 series mark .."

3.. we have played you in three series.. 96, last year, this year.

So I guess suspect some power plays early for the refs to show they have control over the game.

So nothings changed really

Yep, Get ready for some very ticky-tack calls in the first period.

Who’s Murphy? The guy most of the board thinks is a hack?

A few Boston fans want violence, more of us want our team to play good hockey for 60 minutes, more if needed.

 

[Mathews28]

This is what I was talking about earlier. The first offender starts it, prods and prods, hints get ugly and if the responding team isn’t careful, they come up on short end. Critical Eyes will be more heavily fixed on the bruins than the panthers. And the dumb ass refs knowing the league is watching over their shoulder will overreact.

If it results in a cleaner game, but still tough, yeah I’m supportive.

Just win.

And we were just starting to get some Habs - Bruins level hatred. Actually though I think it benefits the Bruins to try to settle this series down a bit.

Why not both gif

That's basically game 2.

Took all of 15 seconds before Tkachuk gave Swayman a shot after the whistle and ended up skating away with a PP.

 

[Ladyfan]

Go BRUINS

I agree with that. FLA thrived last year when things got physical with the Bruins. Tkachuk and Gudas in particular got the Bruins off their game. Main reason they ended up taking the series IMO.

Cuz the Bruins aren't the same team they were ten years ago and that plays more into Florida's game right now.

You just gotta sweep the leg so they can’t fight back.
