Post-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 1 - BRUINS 3 Sunrise 1 - Boston leads series 1-0

[NeelyOrr]

The only thing that worries me about the bruins...is the ice! Unbelievable that hasn't been addressed!

Both teams play on it, so maybe it's a BRUINS' advantage.

Nosek is simply the best

Best 4C in the league

The defense really put it on lockdown in the 3d, though Orlov was an adventure today.

Taylor Hall and Charlie Coyle were the two best players for me.

Lots of nerve from a few guys and Foligno has a reputation for taking bad penalties, he can't take that one and he needs to cut it out.

Agree Hall and Coyle...however Bert, Marchand, Clifford and Orlov also had solid games.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Not good. Don’t get ahead of ourselves! A game at a time.

Nah this series is a lock. I am looking to round 2.

The Hathaway jersey remains undefeated btw

 

[bwunderlich]

For a good chunk of game, the Cats dictated play. As Brick would say (or maybe he did I only have ESPN), FLA had active sticks.

Ridiculously soft goal or its an anything can happen finish. Coyle tilted the ice in the 2nd half of the game.

While Gudas' hitting is a concern, but his cheap/dirty stuff with players vulnerable is going to get someone hurt.

Rest up Linus!

Who do we want to play in Rd 2?

I just hope the Bs take it one shift at a time but if they get to R2, I don't care who. Leafs make me more nervous than Tampa this year though

[Blowfish]

Is it just me or does Bert knees look bent inwards? Almost like he's a newbie on skates.

 

[NeelyOrr]

Not good. Don’t get ahead of ourselves! A game at a time.

A period at a time.

Boyd clamped down in 3rd.Panthers looked gassed

Panthers are ass. Bs have enough talent to play at 80% and still win in 5. Save the 1 shift at a time thing for an actual playoff team in Rd 2.

Maybe I’m over sensitive, but can’t say I’m thrilled with the “We want the Cup” chants halfway through the second period of game one. I think it disrespects the opponent. Don’t give them any bulletin board material.

[Bradely]

Happy to just come out with a win with no Bergeron.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Swayman ends up getting game 2 or 3 if Ullmark is sick

If Ullmark is sick... don't HUG!!!!

 

[13Hockey]

Lindholm didn’t play the last 5 mins and did not have a good game

I think he’s one of the guys sick

 

[Gordoff]

Hathaway got under the Cats skins all night. He may have had a goal called back but he (and Bert) were annoying them right and left. Marchand finally has a couple of guys who play with his type of intensity and annoyance. It's a beautiful thing.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Wanted a little more from Marchand, Pasta, Krejci, and DeBrusk but overall not terrible or anything. Defense a bit sluggish as well, but Carlo was quality.

Liked Charlie Coyle's game tonight, big man like him using his reach to keep plays alive and control the puck is such an asset in the playoffs. Looked really engaged.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Two things I'd like to see next game in Boston...but only one is realistic

..new ice

..the fans stop chanting "we want the cup"

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Maybe I’m over sensitive, but can’t say I’m thrilled with the “We want the Cup” chants halfway through the second period of game one. I think it disrespects the opponent. Don’t give them any bulletin board material.

 

[JCRO]

Really don’t wanna get ahead of myself but if that was Floridas best effort, and really they did play a good game, the Bs played overall a meh game and still won 3-1. If they can shake this flu and get Bergy back they’ll steamroll. You can tell a lot of guys weren’t at 100 tonight.

Also hoping they start Lyon again. He had some strong stops but a lot of shaky moments. Don’t think his play is sustainable.

 

[Si Hopkins]

Maybe I’m over sensitive, but can’t say I’m thrilled with the “We want the Cup” chants halfway through the second period of game one. I think it disrespects the opponent. Don’t give them any bulletin board material.

I hate that chant. Should be banned until at least round 3.

 

[NeelyDan]

Imagine how deflating it would feel to know Patrice freaking Bergeron will still be added to this team
