[Sheppy]

I’m fired up.

 

[crimsonace]

Fun game. B's kept it tied when Toronto pushed in the 2nd, Tuukka was very good when he needed to be, and the beautiful Grz hold, Krejci feed & Backes finish gave the B's momentum. Great setup & laser by Pasta to make it 3-1, and a tremendous job putting it away.

Physical, fast ... this is the team we've been watching all year until the MASH unit started the last month. That game felt a lot like the home games in the 2011 Cup Final.

 

[Lord Ahriman]

1 down, 3 to go. Enjoy the night, folks!!

 

[Zillah]

Cigar still burning !!!

 

[BMC]

I’m fired up.

Yeah I'm going to have a tough time going to sleep after this one, adrenaline is still flowing

 

[EvilElf63]

Only caught the end, but so glad to see even that. Where's the free beer, I'll take two over here please.

 

[Lockheed]

leaf fans aren't even going to kiss their Matthews fatheads before bed tonight.

 

[Emerz]

Pastamania.

Thank you Kadri.

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Said it all game but Backes and Nash were huge tonight. Nash especially throwing his body. If he keeps it up, the Leafs will not have an answer for his net front presence

 

[Bruinaura]

Somebody please repost those "Bergeron vs everyone" stats? Because, holy crap. That was nuts.

 

[Olden McGroin]

What a great game to start the playoffs.

B's kept their composure despite the Kadri and Komarov clown show

 

[cat400]

After witnessing a special regular season by the Bruins, it was only apropos that the special teams rose to the task and were major factors in tonight’s win.

 

[22Brad Park]

Rask solid . Need that obviously .The penalty kill was big killing off 2 big Leaf power plays when game was tied. .Bruins powerplay made them pay.Cannot see how Kadri avoids 2 games minimum with panel talking about it and saying how many will he get not will he get any.

 

[Gordoff]

Yeah I'm going to have a tough time going to sleep after this one, adrenaline is still flowing

Sounds like your significant other gets the "bonus plan!"

 

[Gee Wally]

That was delightful.

‘Night all.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

I heard Rick Nash wasn't a playoff performer.

Certainly looked like one tonight.

 

[Lobster57]

10 guys with points,

#nodepth

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

WELL...THAT WAS THOROUGH.

 

[WestCoastBruinsFan]

Said it all game but Backes and Nash were huge tonight. Nash especially throwing his body. If he keeps it up, the Leafs will not have an answer for his net front presence

What do you mean? They got the turtleneck.

[CallMeShaft]

Just 15 more to go.

 

[PB37]

Dominant game by the Bruins. They contained the Leafs speedy wingers ( with the exception of the Hyman goal ) and played a responsible, physical game.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Special teams the key in this win with the PK stuffing the 2 PP early in the 2nd before the PP grabbed the lead for good late in 2nd.

Kadri is a dud. Better be suspended.

Was Matthews playing? The invisible man.

Rask was very strong. So was Nash. Leafs have no answer for his physical presence.

Bring on game 2. The sooner these loosers are eliminated, the better.

 

[EverettMike]

I heard Rick Nash wasn't a playoff performer.

Certainly looked like one tonight.

He plays like that in the post-season and this team will be scary.

I have to say though, I didn't think the score really reflected the game.

Felt more like a 13 or 14 to 1 game.
