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

[pcruz]

For a little more clarity, here's the breakdown on power plays on a team win basis:

For Boston wins (Games 1, 2, 4):

Game	Boston	Toronto
1	3/6	0/3
2	2/4	1/4
4	0/0	0/1
Total	5/10	1/8

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

For Toronto wins (Games 3, 5):

Game	Boston	Toronto
3	0/1	1/1
5	1/6	1/1
Total	1/7	2/2

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

What does this tells us? It seems like when a team scores on the power play, chances are they win......shocking!

Also shows the discrepancy in power plays in the 2 games the Leafs have won compared to the 3 games the Bruins have won.

There is no reason this game should have been 6-1 PP for boston. If they were going to start calling slashes, clutching, grabbing they should have called the same for both team. Everything boston did went uncalled. Wtf was that they should be forced to give an explanation. I hope babcock isn't afraid to mouth off to these officials.

 

[LeafFever]

Shots were 20-5 in the third for Boston despite playing 5v5 for 18 minutes of the period.

I am aware but they were also tired.

 

[glucker]

Marchand up to his usual tricks, the real negative about the Kadri suspension was him not hitting the guy who deserved it.

Does DOPS look at this?

Probably not. Unlike Bruins players, Marner didn’t milk it.

 

[WillTheThrill]

No ****, when do you think Bruins started getting all the calls? A minute after JVRs goal to put em up 4-1

Again, shots were 20-5 in the third period in favour of Boston. 18 minutes of that period were played 5v5. Freddy was spectacular and he had to be.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Shots were 20-5 in the third for Boston despite playing 5v5 for 18 minutes of the period.

Without the penalties in the first periods, Leafs would have outshot them 20-5 as well.

 

[GodEmperor]

Does DOPS look at this?

Probably not. Unlike Bruins players, Marner didn’t milk it.

Just got off the phone with the refs, they said Marner gets a 2 minute penalty and the NHL may give him a game for interfering with Marchand's glove.

All that’s going to do is piss of the officials, and make things worse. No accountability with officiating is a huge problem.

They should probably stop taking so many penalties then.

suspend him 1 game

suspend kadri 1 game



everyone happy?

I'm honestly shocked how soft the bruins are. After hearing about how tough they'd be it sure was a sight to see them get dominated by the leafs physically

 

[PromisedLand]

Does DOPS look at this?

Probably not. Unlike Bruins players, Marner didn’t milk it.

Marner is a kid but still more of a man than wingels - that's for sure

 

[A1LeafNation]

Just got off the phone with the refs, they said Marner gets a 2 minute penalty and the NHL may give him a game for interfering with Marchand's glove.

Wouldn't be surprised if Marner was suspended 3 games for embellishing.

 

[GodEmperor]

suspend him 1 game

suspend kadri 1 game



everyone happy?

Sure and go back and retroactively give Marchand a suspension for doing that to Marner 2 games ago.

 

[Leaf Fans]

If you mean Toronto tried to give them the win then I totally agree

No one would mean that. People are commenting on the very poor refereeing display. It completely got the Bruins back into the game.

 

[WillTheThrill]

I am aware but they were also tired.

That's a whole other story. Hainsey played over 26 minutes, more than 4 minutes more than Zaitsev who played second most minutes. Babcock had fresh guys he just didn't use them.

 

[A1LeafNation]

I am aware but they were also tired.

Probably from all the bullshit penalties they had to kill.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Those two aren’t a pairing...Dermott plays with Polak but you being wrong isn’t a shocker. Saying Dermott has been one of the Leafs worst defenders shows just how much hockey knowledge you really have.

Dermott is certainly one of the weaker defenders along with Zaitsev this series. Not sure what series you are watching.

Regardless, both would be a mis-match against the Bergeron line. That's what Cassidy could do, if there is a game 7.

 

[A1LeafNation]

That's a whole other story. Hainsey played over 26 minutes, more than 4 minutes more than Zaitsev who played second most minutes. Babcock had fresh guys he just didn't use them.

Same story. We have role players.

 

[glucker]

suspend him 1 game

suspend kadri 1 game



everyone happy?

Does Kadri even make contact there?

 

[Festinator]

Does DOPS look at this?

Probably not. Unlike Bruins players, Marner didn’t milk it.

What does Marchand have against Marner?

 

[hockeykicker]

Sure and go back and retroactively give Marchand a suspension for doing that to Marner 2 games ago.

well then we just wait and see what nhl does. if they do nothing on either, then its fine. if one gets it and not the other then its messed up

 

[Pi]

Leafs are 1-1 against Boston with Kadri. He makes a huge difference to the overall structure of the team.

I’d love to see how other teams do in the playoffs without their back to back 30 goal match up centre.

Game 6 will be the first time in this series that the Leafs will be able to ice their full lineup and deploy players the way they want on home ice.

Should be a fun game.

 

[LeafFever]

Probably from all the bull**** penalties they had to kill.

Yeah that's where I was going with that. This is not a game you cite the shots on goal and make big analysis of it.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Does Kadri even make contact there?

"1 game for almost doing something bad!"
