Post-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 2 - A disaster on Tobacco Road - Whalercanes 5 BRUINS 2 - trail in series 0-2

[Lobster57]

All this Foligno hate is insane, bad contract, yes 100% bad year for him no doubt. Thats where anger should end, he has been great on the 4th line, that line has looked ok, as far as wanting him to punch the wuss Smith, he tried, not his fault Smiths gloves are glued on, for all the Foligno hate he is not a ''fake '' tough guy, he is tough, he isnt a goon, i wouldnt be impressed to watch him pull a Patrick Maroon and punch an unwilling player.

it turns Smiths gloves being glued on doesn't actually make it physically impossible for Foligno to punch him. Yes, it means he's going to get suspended, but honestly at this point who gives a $***?

 

[13Hockey]

Gotta pray lindholm is the same player next year

8 years is a long time

 

[frankiess]

Bruce you better say something.

Why doesn't Sweeney or Neely stand up and say something about the reffing? That was horrible, horrible reffing. People here know the state of the Bruins, but that was brutal reffing.

 

[ON3M4N]

Hahaha Leaf game powerplay after powerplay to It's an unwatchable product Every game same shit .

Golden opportunity for the NHL with so many great match-ups in the East.....and they manage to still f*** it up

 

[OV]

To quote Tiger Williams....Leafs are done like dinner!

 

[the negotiator]

the Bs we're not very good ( trying to stay balanced) ...the refs were horrible ( still balanced) ...the crowd was pathetic ( the beer thrown at Sophia is true Carolina class)

Next game

we know there has to be at least one D change....Lindholm may not be back until next year

upfront Blidh and Wagner slot in.....lots of candidates to sit

and Sway in goal

see you at the Garden on Friday

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

clean hits.
how can that be a suspension?
lindholm just got levelled

Players are not allowed to leave the ice to explode into a hit. Otherwise the hit is through the body and perfectly clean.

It was predatory the moment he left the ice to inflict maximum force. Suspension? No, it was borderline. Absolutely a penalty.

 

[BTO]

Show some pride next game and be the hammer rather than the nail, initiate the hitting rather than reacting, poorly, to being hit. Other than that be well Hampus. Other than that nada.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Leveled yes with a shoulder to the face.

Bull, that hit was clean and a beauty. He lit him up shoulder into the chest.

Maybe next time Lindholm will keep his head up.

That's the exact type of big hit we spent years going nuts for when Lucic, Chara and Boychuk were throwing them

Yea your right .I get it gets a bit nasty but some of the soft stuff called is a bit much

 

[Gee Wally]

Legit request for two separate GDTs next game. One with thoughtful posting / moderation, and the other can have the "this team isn't tough burn it down" nonsense.

Only one GDT.
Everyone is expected to abide by the rules as they have agreed too upon getting membership.

Something everyone needs to come to grips with, and has been pointed out now numerous times, 16 teams worth of Mods, Global Mods and Admins have no games.

They now respond quickly and decisively to reports or what board they are monitoring.

Like I said a day or so ago , you want to play with fire? Flame, wish harm, post misogyny or homophobia or circumvent filters…..go ahead.
Hell @Fenway for first time in history had to shutdown the GDT between periods for people to get a grip.
But accept what you get If you earn it.
@smithformeragent even reposted the rules tonight. Some thumbed their noses at it. Suit yourselves.

The response from the Bruins after their #2 d-man is done for the series should be the suspension in all of this.

 

[Boston Bruno]

Are you related to him?

Made my night..

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

So what's the hope? Swayman becomes 2013 Rask against the Penguins or 2003 Giguere? Marchand and Pastrnak figure their shit out and start dominating?

Feels like it will take a miraculous individual effort because I'm not seeing the team as a whole turning it aroun.

Too many people referencing 2011 not realizing that run was the equivalent of hitting the lottery on back to back tickets.

Hell of a ride but not the model you build your team after.

And hoping Bergeron and Marchand de-age by 11 years to re-create the magic is foolish

seriously what do you expect? a GDT is essentially a live chat that's reacting to the game, which was obviously a shit show. I'm not sure what kind of high level discourse you are looking for in that context

 

[EverettMike]

Bs have to shorten their bench upfront, make some roster changes, and start dumping and chasing. Gotta get greasy and score mean ugly goals. Carolina is fine with them trying to skate it in and make perfect passes. No shock their two goals came from in tight. They can get pressure and that's where their offense needs to come from.

 

[Bodit9]

$9.8M tied up with Forbort, Reilly, & Foligno. What a disgrace.

 

[Bs1011]

They should have shown some pride tonight

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Foligno two "hits". Frederic two "hits".

 

[DKH]

I was at Salem State Lecture Series with David Ortiz - got in 20 minutes ago and saw final 2 minutes (he was really good - Mike Lynch narrated)

Probably better off watching tomorrow or skipping lol

Go Bruins ….funny Ortiz talked about never giving up - when he had no job in 2003 before Sox signed him and down 3-0 to Yankees

 

[chizzler]

There’s every possibility Hampus is back next game. Could have been a “this one is likely done, let’s play it safe” scenario.

That was his last game for the season. He was out of it. Concussion for sure.

 

[CamFan81]

God its painful listening to Cassidy.

 

[DKH]

Who scored by the way ?

 

[JerseyBruin]

Bull, that hit was clean and a beauty. He lit him up shoulder into the chest.

Maybe next time Lindholm will keep his head up.

That's the exact type of big hit we spent years going nuts for when Lucic, Chara and Boychuk were throwing them

You don't get a concussion from getting hit in the chest.

Plus the GDTs during miserable games are often the only thing that make them enjoyable. this forum is at its funniest when it's angry.
