ECQF: (2) Boston Bruins vs (3) Toronto Maple Leafs | Boston Leads Series 3-2

[Bruinator]

Guess Edwards didn't want the refs to blow the whistle when Campbell blocked the shot and broke his leg, limping and screaming in pain. What a miserable pathetic hypocrite of a man he is.

They didn't. He played on it for a minute

Leafs first goal should obviously never have happened either.

The penalty that led to the goal should have never happened, correct.

I am talking about the physical goal itself.

Andy had 95% of that one. And he should have been able to get all of it.

Some Leaf fans were upset by the second one, but that was just a perfect shot by Chara

 

[Eb]

Are we really going to be grading noses? Matthews snout resembles Miss Piggy.

HF: where grown make fun of teenagers noses

 

[PromisedLand]

forgot to mention; for the next GDT can we have bruins' gdt again as the gdt for the main board?

 

[mammothCacti]

Leafs D is poor. They were extremely lucky that Pastrnak missed 3/4 open mets.

Matthews and Marner both missed an open net each and Gardiner had 2 posts from the point in Game 1.

Yeah puck luck sucks ass when it's not going your way but that's why we play a best of 7. Eventually the luck will even out.

 

[Cor]

They blew the whistle right away when McQuaid went down as well.

I prefer that to having a player laying on the ice while the play continues like Komarov last game.

Hey at least leafs are not gonna be swept
​

Pookie must be heartbroken

 

[winnipegger]

The amount of empty nets the Bruins missed was kind of crazy. As a Leaf fan I would be really worried that wasn't good.

 

[glucker]

Can the League look into the two handed slash that marchand landed on Rielly?​

If they haven’t looked at the repeated attempts by Boston scrubs to take Marner out of the series, I doubt they’ll look into that.

Evens out with the number the Leafs have missed.

We should be worried the Bruins were too shitty to finish off their chances? you only worry when the DO finish off their chances.

Leafs could have won this game 5-0 if they played their best, but they didn't and still won, Leafs are a great home team which leads me to believe this is going to be a 2-2 series headed back to Boston.

Yea at this point I don't care how they win, as long as they win.

If Bruins miss 100 empty nets and kill us in corsi, but we score the one goal that deflects off a stanchion and off Charas face and still win, I'll be happy.

Way more worried about games 1 & 2.

 

[glucker]

Bitter about what? We're ahead in the series. This game could have been another blowout if it wasn't for some serious luck in net by Anderson. With the way the Bruins are getting chances on that butter soft Leaf defense, I'm not worried going forward.

If Boston hasn’t bad insane puck luck and official help, they’d still be looking for their first win.

Suck it up.

It’s gone both ways with the missed empty nets and posts in the series.

Sure because of Campbells own will, but I'm sure Bruins Goggles Edwards wanted a stoppage. Its embarrassing how biased he is though, there's supposed to be professionalism in sports commentary and he has none of it whatsoever.

Like he was legitimately getting angry during his call tonight, losing his composure..that shouldn't happen for any NHL commentator. I should be able to watch the Bruins feed and see just as much impartialness as the Leafs feed.

 

[BlueBaron]

Here comes the gigantic influx of leaf fans who suddenly remembered their passwords after being missing games 1 and 2

Don't forget the flood of snide comments from Haters who popped veins because we won.

 

[Drytoast]

Chara is SLOOOOWWWWW. Leafs need to keep exploiting the big guy. He had a nice goal though.

 

[BlueBaron]

It has already happened for us 3 times in my life time, you can’t say the same though

Old news.

I don't find a much different than all the other Homer play by play announcers out there. He's doing Bruin broadcast for the Boston area. He's not doing National broadcast. I'm not sure what you would expect from him.

Really did a bang up job on that in the first two games.. Marner did good getting some points when Bruins already scored 10 goals.....

I expect from him what I expect from any professional sports commentator, to be impartial, to be unbiased, to refuse to let his personal emotions creep into his broadcast.

I'm not surprised though Boston sports commentators in general are notorious for being the most biased in the sporting world so it is what it is.

 

[AcerComputer]

Leafs first goal should obviously never have happened either.

If the league instituted a rule that allowed video replay after the game is played, none of the Bruins goals would have counted in game one. Am I doing this right?

First you say he played like crap 40+ saves 950+ sav% lol
Then he's lucky.
Couldn't be we have a good goalie?

Have you ever listen to Joe Bowen?
