One thing is for sure. If Bruins lose Game 1 it will be Monty's fault for picking the wrong goalie.
I’m more concerned about his thought process for game 2.

Yea ,Linus was better down stretch.Not sure why but I thought Linus gave Leafs hard time with Sabres.After using Google I think I rather Swayman going vs Leafs but whoever it is I will be cheering for to stop pucks Keep the house lolI just feel with it being Swaymans turn in the rotation and with him being 3-0 with a 1.5 GAA and a 96 percent save percentage against the leafs this season, it’ll make the decision easy for Monty.
If it was up to me I’d go with Linus too, he’s been the better of the two down the stretch and IMO he’s the better goalie, but it’s an easy out for Monty to go with Sway and I’d bet my house it’s him.
Of all the Bruins lines who have played 75 mins together, only JVR-Geekie-Freddy has a lower xGA/60 than 63-13-74, and that’s with very tough deployment.You can say it, that was me. I like Beecher's size speed and stick and that was a repose to someone saying Coyle is a good match up.
Coyle line has been dog garbage in their end of the ice and give up a ton of chances,
Why not get the kids feet wet and see what he's made of maybe he can become that legit shut down center.
Obviously not every shift but I have no problem with seeing him in that role

Cheering for deep down ..figure of speech I used.Votes on what?

My favorite hockey related follow.
Funny they are talking about this considering the number of years in between times they played each other......the mid-70's to 2013.....they have only faced each other 16 times overall. Considering how long both teams have been around that ain't much. The TO media will play this up so that if TO wins, they can scream about 'slaying the dragon' and 'historical win' and 'destiny and waited so long for this and blah blah blah and more blah....' all that baloney. This is why I just didn't want the Bruins to play them. The TO media is insufferable. Just awful.Watching Tampa/Leafs game.
Apparently the Leafs haven't beat the Bruins in the post season since 1959 as per the intermission crew.
Came to post this. Love it.
What I notice with Sway is his competitiveness attitude who IMO took a step higher. He is cocky. If I am the coach... I start with him in net this year.Yes, Ullmark's numbers have been really strong since the trade deadline passed, but if we look at each goalie's final 3 games of the season:
Ullmark = 2.67 GAA ; .901 Sv%
Swayman = 2.03 GAA ; .924 Sv%
With Swayman seemingly returning to form and also factoring in his recent success vs the Maple Leafs and that's it's his 'turn' in the rotation -- I'd start him Game 1.
Sorry but, Game 4's can be elimination games too, you know!I have to go to a wedding on the 27th. At least it's game 4 and not game 7.
