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

[PaulD]

Max threw a hail mary to matthews. They got lucky. That is all...

Lucky McAvoy was out ho lunch on it.
Should have just used his glove.

 

[KrugAvoy]

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

Unless this is 2011 redux playoffs run

2011: R1 rival (MTL) > R2 redemption (Philly) > R3 random south team (TB)> Canucks 1.0

2024 R1 rival (Toronto) > R2 redemption (FLA) > random south team (CAR?) > Canucks 2.0

It's written in the stars already

 

[Bridges31]

The bruins entire team looked slooooow. Curious to see what changes are made next game. Btw is Marchand injured?

I hope so because the only other alternative is that age is catching up with him. He’s a turnover machine right now.

 

[UncleRico]

Having 2 calls because of too many men was BAD.

It’s 100% unacceptable, even with Reaves pushing Geekie, they just had one previously and the team should be on high alert already, making sure their guy is getting off.

Refs can already be wild cards at times, Bruins cant be giving out free power plays (or negating our power plays) with bad penalties like that.

 

[Ladyfan]

I don’t think he’s playing lifeless,but to me just seems to have something wrong can’t remember the last time he ripped a shot top,corner can’t do the dipsy doodles anymore just ends up,loosing the puck.But I think the effort is still there.

I believe he is playing with an injury and has been for a few weeks.

Leafs have issues scoring goals in the playoffs. Last night was the first time they mustered 3 goals. Goaltending wasn't an issue for the Bruins last night. Bruins weren't generating enough looks. Power play was brutal. They were a step behind most of the game and lost more puck battles along the boards. Also the Leafs jerks were allowed to be jerks. Like to see more from Maroon if he us going to be out in critical times. At the very least wash a few Leaf faces and let them know you are on the ice. Reaves dragged a Bruin all the way to the Leaf bench to get slapped around. Monty apparently wanted more physicality and wanted the team going harder than the first game. Leafs had an easy time last night. Better find that in the next game.

This while missing a 98 point player in Nylander. Things will sure have to change tomorrow night.

 

[Ladyfan]

We’re just so outmanned at forward. Heinen, Boqvist, Beecher, Frederic, Maroon, Lauko, and Geekie all wouldn’t crack the Leafs top 9 once Nylander is back.

We have to win with our goaltending and defense, and if our defense is going to play like that then we’re in trouble.

Our D has to be better. Carlo has been very good.

 

[GoBs]

In the off season find a left wing for Pasta and Zacha.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Yea speaking of Mathews, he absolutely closed his glove on the puck right? I half thought they’d call that back to when I saw it.

Sure looked liked it to me and carried it a stride or two.

 

[analyser]

Our D has to be better. Carlo has been very good.

Peeke has been the most consistent and now he is injured. Hopefully he can return soon. I agree, Carlo is the only other D who is playing well.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Definitely need to see something from Frederic. 11 playoff games 1 goal, 0 assists and the 1 goal was an empty net when the team was up 4-1

Yeah looks like he is going to be a no show again

 

[TSBruins13]

What has happened to Hampus? He was arguably our best defenseman last year now he stinks.

 

[TD Charlie]

Morning after. Still feels like I need some Pepto. I hate sports and I don’t know why I do this to myself

What has happened to Hampus? He was arguably our best defenseman last year now he stinks.

Playoff Lindholm is pretty gross

But but but, the injury last year!

Gross. He needs to turn it around immediately.

 

[Dicky113]

Balance shifted when peeke went down. Our D were exposed to leafs forecheck which I didn’t see coming in this series. Reminder me it last year against cats.
Ullmark played well but that second goal was a back breaker. Hoping Sway can get in the leafs head for the rest of the series.

 

[BruinDust]

I hope so because the only other alternative is that age is catching up with him. He’s a turnover machine right now.

He's about to turn 36 and has logged some really hard minutes this year.

This is where not having any trust in your 4th line mid-season hurts you in the post-season. Monty didn't trust his 4th line for much of the year for hard defensive match-ups and PK duty, so it fell more on Marchand and Coyle and it's coming back to haunt them now IMO.

 

[analyser]

Monty, please do not lose to the Leafs so find a winning formula. Get to the 2nd round at the very minimum.

Nylander really didn’t look like yesterday that he will be ready to play soon ,skating very gingerly,guess we will see,if he does play Bruins better be hitting him ,although probably won’t.

 

[LondonKnightsRule]

Living in South Western Ontario nothing but Leaf coverage. I understand that. Last night was nothing but Leafs did this leafs did that. Samsonov has found his groove. Hall of Fame...lol.
Matthews with the highlife of the night. Just unbearable. The Leafs are the greatest team of all time. Please Bruins put them out of their misery.

Leafs forcheck is what did Tampa in last season there quick and move the puck,around well.

 

[DKH]

Coyle needs to produce.

Did,Boyquist even play in the third

Yah he was flying

We were discussing it

Apparently someone messes with the NESN feed

Samsonov had a good game but he was hardly tested much really what did the Bruins end up with 20-22 shots ,very few rebound shots or screened shots.

I can accept losing. Not to the leafs.

 

[BradMarchandismydad]

Fabian Lysell can play both wings

 

[JHockey14]

Heinen has gone invisible. Marchand has been bad. We have no third line. Lindholm was brutalllllll. In my opinion they lost the game in the early second. They had Toronto Rattled after the late pasta goal. Came out with jump. Had 4 point blank chances and DIDN’T GET A SHOT OFF ON ANY OF THEM! The stupid extra pass or taking a second too long to shoot. They completely folded after that
