Post-Series Talk: Florida Panthers defeat the Boston Bruins 4-2, advance to ECF

[Hockeyholic]

Good grief

Florida won six straight playoff games in Boston.

Bruins are 3-8 in their past 11 home postseason games

Boston has been eliminated at home in the postseason 10 times in 20 years

How does that happen?

 

[NyQuil]

Boring series. The Leafs would have put up a bigger fight.

Yup the Leafs have the offense to challenge Florida.

 

[Felidae]

Swayman loses 6 of his last 9 starts.
Hall of Fame material.
Right, Panger?

The constant praise by Panger was overboard but Swayman was very good ( and the better goalie) most of the series

our fandom is a beautiful curse

On the golfcourse, perhaps.

Maybe next year, right? It is the leafs slogan after all.

Bruins choke again. In other news - water is wet

 

[NyQuil]

Yup the Leafs have the offense to challenge Florida.

The offence that hasn’t scored much more than 2 goals in like 15 straight playoff games?

That offence?

The offence that went 1 for 21 on the PP?

That offence?

It’s like you’ve already forgotten.

 

[Sheppy]

David Pastrnak is the Bruins best forward but I can’t really say he had a game where I was like “He’s the best player out there” - I just don’t think you can win with a guy like that.

When the game gets tough, physical and nasty he crumbles.

 

[Bread and Circuses]

I never once thought the Bruins were going to win this series, happy to see it go to 6 games though. Bummed for Swayman more than anyone else.

GG Florida.

Berube is in they are already planning the parade you know it’s true.

Bruins didn't choke, they played above expectations. Most people had this ending quickly. I had them in 5 but thought it would be a tight, low scoring. That really only happened the last 2 games.

It’s like selective amnesia sometimes.

Wouldn't call that a choke

Nobody ready to have the conversation about Pastrnak being Huberdeau who is better at shooting instead of better at passing, but it do be that way.

Losing a series you’re the underdog in is a choke now?

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

It’s like selective amnesia sometimes.

If you don’t have denial as a leafs fan all you have is a sweater.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Swayman was great without him this series was a sweep.

He was great these playoffs no doubt, but tonight, I thought he could have been better. Rebound control was not good on the Forsling goal with the game on the verge of OT. The Lundell goal 50-50 should have had that 1 too.

 

[K Fleur]

Yup the Leafs have the offense to challenge Florida.

In the playoffs the Leafs have the offense to challenge me to change the channel

 

[Givememoneyback]

Bs fans, just remember Marner isn't a need

His playoff stats early in his career were very good. What happened?

 

[Bounces R Way]

Congrats to Florida, clearly the better roster. Zito has done some nice work there. Forsling was outstanding in the 6th game and the Barkov line just cycled at will this series.

Couple good games in this series but thought it was largely a lot of dump it in dump it out circle the wagons BS. Not as much emotion as I expected from either team. Bruins simply do not have the talent needed up the middle anymore but I liked what I saw from some of the young guys. McAvoy, Pasta, Swayman, and Marchand needed to carry them and really only Sway was at his best this series.

 

[chethejet]

The pressure on Pasternak is just to much. Boston is a regular season team that plays hard and can win with the goaltending and D. But in the playoffs, you need to have an edge in scorers. Posted from the get-go Boston just doesn't have enough offense.

 

[K Fleur]

This wasn’t a choke but; The Bruins on the whole don’t get enough flack for their playoff failures in the cap era.
