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

If....and I mean a big IF....if someone had the balls to light up Matthews against the boards or even Marner, it would totally change the way the leafs play. They'd be totally distracted.
Matthews disappeared vs FLA last year due to Gudas killing people.

Come on Maroon, be that guy.

and hopefully lorhei in for gryz

If Loheri plays it will be instead of Shattenkirk

Helps to have Barkov on Matthews every shift but I agree with your point.

Not sure he could catch him.

Let's just hope that IF we get pass Toronto, Peeke can get back with us, or join us again vs Toronto. Just hoping it's not season ending.

I would consider DeBrusk, maybe even try Boqvist, his speed might be a asset, I might not have the solution but I know it is not Heinen.

Well Heinen is making league minimum and was signed from a PTO. I think he has, had a remarkable season considering . The forward depth is thin this year and as a result you have Heinen on your first line. In short there is not enough talent to go around , so players are being forced to play above there skill set

 

[DarrenBanks56]

eh. I think shatty is good with the puck, and he makes nice passes.
And I like sticking with the 3 rights and 3 Lefts on D,

 

[ae530]

And the Beecher 2 on 1 when he went in too deep and didn’t even get a shot off

 

[Alicat]

I like 3 R, 3 L on D as well. I think they are just going to plug in Wotherspoon for Peeke and make no other changes. Wotherspoon will help take the extra minutes off Lindholm, Carlo and McAvoy and will allow Monty to limit the minutes for Shatty and Gryz. Even distribution of TOI is key to keeping the D as fresh as possible.

 

[DKH]

Once RD Peeke showed up Carlo has had to do less and the result is better play

Less gsssed/worn down

Peeke loss gonna hurt

Looked at old scouting stuff on him coming out and a lot of people liked him and his skills

Shows what a shit show Columbus is

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Forbort wasn't expected this year

But as he said about the surgeons “what do they know”

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Hopefully the Bruins don't disrespect their opponent as much as some posters in here

It evens out, though, because other posters here disrespect the Bruins.

 

[NDiesel]

I can't see them subbing 2 LHD for Peeke and Shatty. Personally I'd move Shatty back to the right side and sit Gryz for Lohrei. Gryz just doesn't play as well when he is rushed, too many turnovers and rushed passes for my liking, Lohrei is probably similar but can provide some offense at least.

 

[Sheppy]

This.

This idea of them being an easy out because "ThEyRe tHe LeAfS!" and they have choked before isn't ideal.

 

[Festy1986]

I thought our D looked shakey especially in the third. It is tough to play one D down and hope Peeke is OK. Bruins have other options if he isn't.

Linus was amazing. Some of those saves were so good.

On to the next.


yikes....

You know that he's gone next season right?

It's objectively a fact. They're not choosing Linus over swayman, and why would they?

Don't think you know the definition of "fact".

There was no reason for them not to win last night. No Nylander. Huge advantage in goal and on defense. You need to win these games to make it a short series. They had rolled them five straight and this loss was about effort and urgency.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Can’t win in 6 unless you lose twice.

Bruins got this. Enjoy.

 

[Festy1986]

Don't think you know the definition of "fact".

I dont think you know the definition of objectively.

He's gone. Everyone knows it.

[Festy1986]

then who's the next Bruin to team w/ Linus then.... it's not Bussi

I have no idea but Swayman isn't coming back here as a unrestricted free agent to continue to be the essential backup.

Linus was all but traded at the deadline. Are we seriously thinking that he's going to be here and they're gonna let the kid go?

 

[DKH]

It evens out, though, because other posters here disrespect the Bruins.

Bruins fans are exhausting- even the great Michael Felger agrees with me

I may have to watch the movie hub for a break on sports and see the ending and which one of Zack or Vince ended up banging Amy (Jessica Simpson) in Employee of the Month

 

[DKH]

That’s not why he’s gone

He’s gone because the organization thinks they have something in Bussi

If he didn’t exist they would be keeping both

That is the fact

 

[The Storm]

I can't see them subbing 2 LHD for Peeke and Shatty. Personally I'd move Shatty back to the right side and sit Gryz for Lohrei. Gryz just doesn't play as well when he is rushed, too many turnovers and rushed passes for my liking, Lohrei is probably similar but can provide some offense at least.

FOR GOD SAKES, Remove Gryz from this lineup. Did you see Reaves absolutely plaster him into the boards in the Bruins zone? It is so easy to design a game plan against Gryz in the playoffs. Just hit him and then hit him some more! Then hit him again and again. Pound the s**t out of him. Wake up! He's 5'9" and 180 pounds. No match for Mathews, Tavares or Reaves for that matter. Just keep hitting him and he will wilt or get injured eventually.

I'll take Lohrei any day of the week over Gryz. Lohrei is 6'5" 211. Bruins not winning a cup with Gryz anywhere in the top 4 D. I'd rather throw Mason in there and see what happens.
