Post-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 2 - Back to Toronto with the series tied 1-1 - Toronto 3 BRUINS 2 F

[SPLBRUIN]

Florida will mop the floor with either Boston or Toronto. At least we are on the road, we suck at home in big games.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

0 pts for “top 6 center” Coyle so far. 2 pts in his last 9 playoff games.

Would like to see more than that even if he has some good shifts. It needs to translate

 

[Guelph Bruin]

First off ...Ullmark had a very good game. Second off ..we fought the puck all night ...didn't win board battles... couldn't clear our zone effectively....not a good recipe for success. Lastly, I can't remember a time when we would send one man in with no support so many times unless we were protecting a lead (which we weren't..we were doing it all game)...no offensive net front presence at all to screen or get dirty goals....the Leafs defense were literally looking around for a man to take in front of their net and their was no one there.....they honestly looked as shocked as I was .... I'm not mentioning the 2 powerplays caused by too many men ....too disappointed to bother.

You can see the difference between DeBrusk and guys like Geekie and Frederic and Heinen once the effort level picks up for the playoffs. Their regular season numbers were all similar with DeBrusk having a bad year and those guys all having great years... but Geekie, Frederic and Heinen with 4 shots combined over 2 games ain't gonna cut it.

 

[Alicat]

Leafs will be playing with a shitload of new confidence Wednesday and likely have their own 88 back so our boys better buckle up

Don’t count on him back and if Nylander is back, hit him early and often

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Man I'm the opposite. Our team is like a whole bunch of 2's and 3's playing at 1 level standings spots. It's wild.

He gets a lot out of these guys. Look how many 1M bros dress every night.

Montgomery has taken an inferior roster very far. Hardly on him, although designating Kelly as PP coach is odd.

 

[The don godfather]

That's a guy whose gonna hold ears and twist them. Watch the boys on the road.

No question. Debrusk has separated and shows why his next contract is much higher.

You see him zipping around in practice? Truly mystified

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Nylander injury looks kinda serious if he cant take a normal practice .

Monty has nullified the loss of Nylander with the Bruins sit back approach. They don't need him at all if the Bruins refuse to get on the Leafs crappy D.

 

[sarge88]

Marchand isn't a line driver anymore. But he is the closest they have after Pasta. Don't think that putting him up with Pasta makes that line good enough to have the rest of your forward group be a good third line and two 4th lines.

Fair.

He’s just been pretty pedestrian for the last month or so.

Maybe they can connect for 3 and the 2nd PP can jam home one?

Use the Frederic line to play Matthew’s as much as possible and just focus on defending.

Whatever it is, I think some adjustments will be made.

Was thinking same thing. And he is holding the puck way too long way too often

 

[Alicat]

He really wasn’t tho. He took a shot and looked like he was in pain. He’ll probably play and again, hit him early and often

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Who out? Maroon or Lauko?

Maroon will be useless in Toronto with line matching. Aside from Reaves there is no one he can catch to hit. Might as well try JVR for PP.

 

[NeelyDan]

Mmmm I dunno. I saw something different.

Regardless, yeah, go after him physically.

God just messing with me now.Turned channy and rerun of kojak on

All these things are true and were true during the regular season, but because of outstanding goaltending, the BRUINS were still able to win,

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

7th in league scoring with these bums though? How?

Actually, tied for 13th.

 

[Sheppy]

I absolutely couldn’t stand the dive Marchand took. I don’t want my captain doing that at all. Lead by example.

 

[Alicat]

I’m not worried about game 3. Bruins will adjust and be much better. Pressure is on Toronto on Wednesday.

 

[JOKER 192]

Monty is the king of overthink.

Watch the lineup he puts together next game.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

God just messing with me now.Turned channy and rerun of kojak on

He can definitely be a goof.

 

[TD Charlie]

Not a great game. Lots of soft performances up and down the lineup. Ullmark was great. I’d be more upset about external factors that I won’t name if Boston deserved the game.

I think at one point when it was 1-1, they put up a stat that showed “high danger chances” 9-3 in favor of Toronto. That told the whole story tonight.

 

[Orr Fourever]

?? Did you see a lot of pressure on the leafs’ D in the 3rd? Cause I saw a lot of it on ours.

Games over. Does it matter?

f*** Florida. Bigger things happening now
