Boston Bruins ECQF: Game 1 - Toronto @ BRUINS - Second Period

[Skelen]

As bad as those breakaway goals were it could be 5-1 if not for Rask

Crazy how much hate Rask gets and he's stood on his head tonight.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Coyle the best line.

Bergeron line is off but still producing chances.

2nd and 4th doing nothing.

Bring back Backes next game.

Clifton best #8D in the league and playing a good game.

Rask made couple big saves late. Two goals is nothing against a weak Toronto D.

Wake up and do it. Plenty of time.

 

[LouJersey]

So lackadaisical. Unbelievable.

Agreed don’t get it.

 

[Smitty93]

I want to switch up the top 3 lines for the third. If the 1st line isn't dominating, you need to consider breaking them up. You're just making it easy on Toronto.

Go with something like this:

Marchand-Bergeron-Heinen
DeBrusk-Krejci-Pastrnak
Johansson-Coyle-Kuhlman

 

[BAD BOY]

They'll get their **** together. Leafs are getting lucky from bruins mistakes not their own skill.

Scoring on breakaways usually require skill. The speed as well.

 

[Sheppy]

Carolina is down 3-0 and they’re getting absolutely nasty with Washington players.

 

[OV]

The Bruins played a lot like this in Game 7 of their 2013 series.
There's still hope.

 

[Scruffy]

They won’t. They’ll bounce off the Leaf players.

Nordy sure but wags can bring the boom

 

[GoBs]

Devils said one thing they missed besides Taylor Hall was the sold play of John Moore
But Cassidy made the decision Gryz looked better during the season but that’s not why they got Moore

 

[JRull86]

Should be 5-1, maybe 6-1.

Embarrassing. You’re lucky it’s only a 2 goal game, so show up in the third.

Eh I dunno about that.

Leafs have buried 3 of...what maybe 5 or 6 chances?

Bruins are 1 for a million.

Realistically should be 3-3 IMO.

 

[LouJersey]

Wish this game was as aggressive as Wash Car

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Tuukka made a great save on Tavares

The save was needed when it was 2-1, coming back from 3-1 is highly unlikely with the way Anderson us playing.

 

[13Hockey]

Coyle showed up atleast

 

[Chief Nine]

And as usual you only show up when they are losing

And a few others. They live for this

 

[Bruinfanatic]

It's a ****ing game thread, where you react to what you are seeing. These comments are so asinine.

Yeah really I guess we should just be saying nothing,not like we could be commenting on anything good so far .

 

[BourqueFromORRk4277]

What took Grz so long to get back?

Terrible.

He was battling for the puck down in the corner. Mojo was covering the point, but let Nylander sneak by him.

 

[JRull86]

Devils said one thing they missed besides Taylor Hall was the sold play of John Moore
But Cassidy made the decision Gryz looked better during the season but that’s not why they got Moore

If you think Moore is the answer, you didn't watch John Moore.

Wasn't great.

Not to mention, hurt.

 

[Razz]

Bring out the Backes, am I right?

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

They'll get their **** together. Leafs are getting lucky from bruins mistakes not their own skill.

Not lucky : capitalizing. Bruins need to manage the puck with more conscious of the tight game they are in.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

All goals against scored 5 on 5. All the complaints pre series about needing to keep the refs out of it for the Bruins to win.

Hope this trend breaks.

Wrong. Again.

 

[Boston Bandit]

Tighten up the D in the 3rd and come out hitting everything in sight. Also, play our game, not theirs.. We can come back if we pull our sh*t together.

 

[Gee Wally]

Seriously? If he was playing as good as Andersen, boston would be up 1 to 0.

You have the most consistent, predictable tunnel vision of any poster I have seen here in my 20 years.

Its remarkable.

 

[Sheppy]

Nordy sure but wags can bring the boom

Maybe he should start because the 4th line has a combined 4 hits.

Charlie Coyle has 5.

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Let's go Boys, 20 minutes to shut us all up. Do it.

 

[Emerz]

Alright well that was a disaster, the puck seems to be bouncing just over our guys sticks in the slot over and over and Toronto is threading the needle on the breakaway passes.

Gotta quit dipsydoodling at the offensive blueline and turning the puck over

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Eh I dunno about that.

Leafs have buried 3 of...what maybe 5 or 6 chances?

Bruins are 1 for a million.

Realistically should be 3-3 IMO.

It's called goaltending, without it you are toast in the playoffs. We squeaked by TO last year in spite of Rask.
