ECF GAME 1 - Carolina @ BOSTON | NBCSN, CBC, SN(4K), TVAS , WESTWOOD ONE

[T REX]

T Rex hacked again??

I thought you hated the Bruins

I do but I am a classic call it like I see it guy. Love em or hate em. I go with what I see...Boston is better than Carolina.

 

[blazenlo]

Better teams don’t lose by 3.

I didn't say it...He said it!

 

[Coach Parker]

Thanks man, we almost forgot.

Agreed.

I couldn't care less about the Celtics or city championships.

GO RAPTORS GO!!!!

 

[Coach Parker]

I’m not so sure of that. They sure choked last year.

No they were beaten by a better team who was the series favourite from start to finish.

You of all people should be comfortable defining a choke given this years historic outcome.

Respectable

So many ref deniers. Sad.

 

[northeastern]

Better team lost it after absolute nonsense. Theme this playoffs.

Disagree. Refs wereb bad both ways but bruins made it count.

 

[JagrsMullet]

I didn't say it...He said it!

The amount of crying cracks me up after the Bs got crushed by the refs in the first. Came out dominating, until that jab after the whistle, completely changing momentum and gifting the Canes a goal

 

[b in vancouver]

Left the game at 2-1 Canes....wtf happened?

don't listen to the 'refs' tinfoil hat kids. Carolina looked like they forgot to play hockey for a while and are lucky they weren't called a lot more.
The Bruins are a good team,
and as soon as they started pressuring, the Hurricanes forgot how to play hockey for 15 minutes.
Stupid penalties was part of it but blown coverages and being unable to make a pass or clear the zone kinda hurt them a bit also.
Was definitely men against boys for awhile there.

or the broken stick across marchands back from stall. The officiating has been very questionable all playoffs but to say this was somehow one sided against the canes is ridiculous. I guess the one thing we have to remember is it's a lot easier to officiate from your coach with three or four slow motion replays from four different angles then it is to officiate this game at full speed from the ice.

Or the highstick on Pastrnak in the 3rd?

Officiating has been absolutely horrible this whole playoffs. Complete joke

 

[rocketdan9]

Series still has ways to go

Bruins need to win game 2

Carolina plays very well at their home

 

[BTO]

So many ref deniers. Sad.

The refs sucked.

 

[Coach Parker]

Don’t bother.

This GDT inspires me to make a public apology to the Caps fanbase. I thought y’all were bad...

Aww, c'mon. You were so lighthearted and funny before game one. Aho had a great game. Hamilton got rattled. Fix the PP and PK and this is knotted at 1-1.

And how about those B's Away?

 

[Coach Parker]

Another day another instance of the league out to get the Bruins.

Amazing they can win games dealing with such unfair adversity.

Keep
Calm
And
Bergeron

 

[DangleCity]

Campbell's son, Gregory, played for Boston for a bit... So he LOVES the Bruins... Wants them to win every game... Campbell still has some pull in the league... Makes sure Boston gets the calls to go their way... Undeniable.

Greg Campbell played for a few NHL teams and currently works for the Blue Jackets so I fail to see the connection.

 

[Robert]

So many ref deniers. Sad.

Most believe calls go both ways, the Bruins did make theirs count... That said, after the game ends winners go the mains and losers go to bed... most here are now Bruin fans.. Good luck in game two...

Pasta tripped him, so it was thankfully a wash.

 

[Coach Parker]

Agreed.

In pages 4-20.

Then a bunch of non-Canes fans started posting.

Agreed. Like it or not (ask Columbus fans) there are lots of outside fans going to jump onto your bandwagon and ride it towards their agenda and biases and ruin some good conversations.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Carolina had 4 blatant penalties on the first shift of the game.

Better team won. Staal starts the comeback with a boneheaded hit right through the numbers.

 

[BlackFrancis]

Sweet Jesus, can you Bruins fans stop biting on the bait he's leaving out there for Canes and Leafs fans?

 

[BTO]

More fun this way.

 

[Coach Parker]

Nah, they’re not worried like Cap fans weren’t worried. Because they won, regardless of how it came about.

And I don’t blame them, since I felt the same way after Game 2 against the Islanders. We got thoroughly outplayed that game, won because we scored twice early in the third, and thanked the stars our goalie showed up.

I was concerned about this series before this game, but not anymore. There’s no massive gap in play between the two teams, which I was worried about. But the Canes showed they can play with the Bruins tonight, so this series should be a good one.

My question was never about the skill or ability to play with the Bruins; they can and will dominate periods and games just like the Bruins will as well. It's going to go 6-7.

My legitimate question was 'Is Mrazek healthy and ready for game one?' Tonight I didn't see him steal games like Andersen and Bobrovsky did.

No one knew how he would look and Boston put 4 past him so I felt good about the game and going into game two simply because Rask outplayed him and Boston's special teams outscored Carolina's. That's it.

Would you agree that this was his worst game in net?

 

[BlackFrancis]

More fun this way.

He had some kook talking about refs in the 1920s!
