Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 3 - Sunrise 6 BRUINS 2 - Florida leads series 2-1

[Gordoff]

A team with Jvr maroon shatty worhspoon zacha and coyle as first two centres made it to round 2 and people want Monty fired? It reeks of entitlement. Next season they retool and then we can judge monty. This year has been better than most expected.

Last years choke meant nothing to you? Sure, Monty's the next coming of Scotty Bowman, he just needs 5 more years to prove it. He's way out of his element. If they at least looked as though they have a plan or some pride and lost not looking so pathetically bad it's one thing but they're dazed, confused, and lost.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

f*** that. Win tomorrow. Win the series.

I want blood. I want this series. They're beatable.

The winning side of the handshake line is a better revenge than injuring any player I agree

 

[Carl Hungus]

it’s gotta be Freddy, he takes out a big cat he’s a goat Bruins forever no one else has that psycho in them.

This still makes me laugh. He came in so hot when he first made it up to the league

Wild, this management team has a track record neutering physical players.

 

[Boston Bandit]

They went up 4 to 0 as a result of the Lauko debacle.

That was the turning point for the Bruins as JVR went out with a monster follow up shift with at least three heavy, heavy hits. That is how the Bruins CAN play, and should play, but again the Bs need the lead or a tie game for it to happen.

I was surprised at how hard JVR was hitting. We definitely need more of that from the entire team.

 

[KrugAvoy]

This is when you need Matt Cooke to come out of retirement for a game. Just tell him to target Tkachuk . Would love to see the camera view of his dad face when his son gets laid out

 

[Divine]

Not a Bruins or Marchand fan but that punch to the head by Bennett was 100% intentional. If it's true that Marchand is out with a concussion, it's the exact same play that concussed Knies last playoffs.





He loves to punch players in the head with the single hand holding the stick so he has his excuse for why it was in a fist. Both plays he immediately one hands the stick and punches the player with the hand holding the stick in a fist. Really hard to argue it's accidental when it keeps happening.

 

[caz16]

The Bruins played like crap with Marchy. Now I want violent revenge, just do it Bruins. Run free and wild, slash, board, do it all. Bennett's hand should have a huge target on it and how about a hockey stick across Puke's face? That is what we have had to deal with with no justice. Open season, take the misconducts and fines.

There’s a dude on X that tweets this:



So Forbort coming out of the lineup basically can’t be done huh?



The guy has been on the ice for 15 goals against in 10 playoff games as the team is 4-6 in those games. They have a winning record without him.



There’s just 0 accountability for this player.



But it doesn’t sound correct to me, so here is what Stat Trick shows for all players at All Strengths (everything) and Even Strenghts. It sort of shows the entire team's problems with Florida. In reality Forbort is no worse than several.

[Gordoff]

As of today my feeling is Monty gone

I don't always agree with your analysis, but so far this spring I have 99% of it. Please elaborate, why.

Peeke couldn’t clear the zone to save his life last night. Every time he touched the puck it felt like a Florida player was the next person to have the puck.

3 weeks off will do that to a player.

 

[BTO]

Yet the NHL still ignored it.

NHLOL you mean

 

[BTO]

This needs to be the motto.
That's simply it.

Exactly. But they can’t even police it themselves because when they try to they’re penalized for their trouble. But f*** it, not beating the Rags anyway so cheap shot the Panthers all rest of the series. f*** ‘em.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

He won't have it so easy against NY with guys like Trouba, Remke, Kreider, etc.

Plus Miller, Cullye, Goodrow& Schneider

 

[22Brad Park]

He's a predator. Like Trouba or Stevens.

He would be eating my hockey stick no questions asked .Bruins have some serious gutlessness if they don't go get him.

 

[frankiess]

They would at least do it with hockey hits that are mostly legal by the letter of the law

This is just a sucker punch

They're looking to hurt guys. Did you see Trouba launch himself at that Carolina guy and then kick him in the head? Stevens gave out many headshots.

 

[BTO]

This is when you need Matt Cooke to come out of retirement for a game. Just tell him to target Tkachuk . Would love to see the camera view of his dad face when his son gets laid out

Yeah no. Adam McQuaid is right upstairs.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

I’m moving Bennett from actually tough to fake tough spot picker and I do not want to win the series, I want to hurt as many panthers as possible. If that’s how they want to play make it impossible for them to win going forward

Not tough. He picked Lindholm during the season to fight. Hard hitter at least and not cowardly unlike Tkachuk.

Bruins need to be fully in message sending mode now.

Maroon/Frederic afraid of the instigator BS final shift was disappointing last game to begin with.

Frederic actually playing well, Maroon is essentially here to earn a suspension.

 

[BTO]

If the league aren't going to do anything about a blatant sucker punch to one of their stars then i want Bennett's head on a stick, no being nice and offering him a fight, i want him looking over his shoulder every time he's out there on the ice. Don't care how long the suspension is, make it worth the time and money lost when someone cheap shots your captain like that.

So do we all. Alas, this isn’t 2011. Sigh.

 

[McGarnagle]

We're barely competitive with Marchand, without him, it's over. So I'd go full 1991 Milbury and call up all the goons in the organization just to hurt these motherf***ers. Bring in Kyle McLaren to teach the defensemen how to take care of Barkov.

 

[bruinsfan1968]

Not a Bruins or Marchand fan but that punch to the head by Bennett was 100% intentional. If it's true that Marchand is out with a concussion, it's the exact same play that concussed Knies last playoffs.

I truly believe that players like Bennett work on making there dirty actions look clean by trying doing stuff like that, so they can get away with it.
The league allowing players him to get away with it, is a really disgusting because good players get injured for really no reason, but for someone's amusement.

 

[LouJersey]

Leagues warns the teams before the game. Bennett gives a cheapshot, that admittedly you couldnt see at the time, so I am fine with no penalty. League washes their hands of said play and no suspension or anything. Criminal.

Not that the Bruins were going to win the series, but now they would seem to be toast without Marchand. Add this to the brutal call on Lauko which took away any realistic chance of a comeback in the third.

Some years you just get zero breaks. I still think they can come back but is that wishful thinking? I dunno.

 

[LouJersey]

This needs to be the motto.
That's simply it.

I get the sentiment, but the Bruins don't do that. They will be going into game four knowing that Tkachuk fought their best player and their captain go knocked out with a cheap shot. The goal is to win the game, I get it, but their needs to be some restitution of violence here by the Bruins players.

 

[Ladyfan]

IMO Bennett knows what he did, he is like a dear after the punch looking if he had been caught. Dirty as hell!!


IMO concussion

This. sick of the NHL and the stripes letting Florida get away with this cheap shit.

I hope the Rangers bury them in four
.

It's okay Bruins, let the league handle it because they said so.

I am so pissed off.

Rest up Brad.

 

[Ladyfan]

Lauko play was baloney .He was held then directed into goalie.If anything that should be called vs them not him

IMO (and folks who sit near me) should have been a penalty shot for the Bs.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Florida is a smart team. They really know how to get a way with shit.
