Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 5 - YOU BET WE'RE ALIVE!!!!!! Game 6 FRIDAY 7 PM at TD Garden

[xStanleyCupsFor]

The effort from the Bruins tonight was A+!! And leading the way in that department was McAvoy. He left it all out there.

 

[BradPark22]

This teams recent track record in big games at home during recent playoff runs has me less than confident.

 

[The don godfather]

Monty all emotion. I love this guy.

 

[KrejciWinger]

Strong game from Wotherspoon.....keep him with Peake

Last mins of the game he cleared the puck 3 different ways, all of them the right choice for the situation. So refreshing.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

The Garden really needs to improve there ice . Elite athletes deserve so much better to play on

Iirc to fix the ice, they would have to renovate parts of the arena seating which I think is the biggest issue. Which for a pro hockey team you figure that’d be money well spent but

 

[Sevendust]

Regardless what will happen next, this playoffs will be the playoffs Jeremy Swayman went into superman mode. Does anybody still want to keep Ullmark over him?

 

[crimsonace]

Anyone else more nervous about gm 6 at home than a potential gm 7 on the road? Can they petition the league to stay in Florida the rest of the series?

Bruins are 3-7 at home the last two playoff years. 1-3 vs. FLA last year, 2-2 vs. TOR, 0-2 vs. FLA this year.

6-3 on the road (2-1 in each series).

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Great timing for the first 1-3 come back in 100 years history.

Swayman will give us that.

Swayman reminds me of Toby McGuire...

Swayman preventing the Bruins playoff hopes from going off the rails:

 

[Bad Bruin]

The Bruins finally figured out that it takes a full 60 minutes. They defended fiercely and attacked their defence. The score flattered the Panthers. Bob definitely had to make the tougher saves.
It would help if the Bruins finished more on their grade A chances…

 

[TD Charlie]

Gonna be a sloppy game with tons of broken plays due to shit ice. Just lob it behind Bob over and over, make Florida turn. Send two guys hard up the wall. Double barrel. Send another guy up the other side but fading middle a bit. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Mistakes aplenty Friday. That ice is gonna muck things up badly

 

[River Meadow]

What an absolute BEAST.

think he figured they can't criticize the refs in the media but he can pantomime whatever he wants on the bench

 

[Aussie Bruin]

NHL seemed to “fix” the Bennett GI with the Heinen non call.

As a fan I’ll take it but it just speaks to the overall issue with how the league runs things imo.

Doubt the bruins can win 2 more games playing the same way but at least we are guaranteed 1 more game to watch

Playing what way? 12 high danger chances to 4 and a 63% xGF at even strength will win you a lot of games. The Bruins can and will need to be better in some areas, for sure, but IMO this was a solid performance and the type of effort that while not pretty tends to get it done in playoffs.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Subban was the only other player I've seen do that as much and he had to retire early becua Of back issues. Think there's a reason the whole league doesn't do it (it's also cowardly)

think he figured they can't criticize the refs in the media but he can pantomime whatever he wants on the benga

Bergy had some nasty butt checks/reverse hits when he first came into the league but he toned a lot of that down after his injury plagued years.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Any Bruins going to guarantee they’ll be back in Florida for game 7 like Tkachuk did last year?

Would be nice to show that kind of confidence and put that doubt in Floridas head

 

[Bad Bruin]

When Chucky gave Bennett a taste of his butt end, I knew the Bruins would kill it. That was satisfying all around.

 

[crimsonace]

Linus needs to be leveraged for a legit 1C.

Understand the idea, but the goalie market is really bad right now. Elite goaltenders are only getting average skaters in return ... after guys like Matt Murray and Adin Hill have won Stanley Cups, the marginal benefit of spending a fortune for an elite goaltender over an average one seems somewhat small ... so teams aren't going to give up elite skaters for an elite goaltender.

I saw Ullmark saying something to Sway after the hug like “we’ll be back here”

Looks like he’s trying to reel in a marlin.
