BRUINS GDT ECQF GAME 2 - Toronto at BRUINS - B's go with Ullmark - Boston leads the series 1-0 - NESN, ESPN, CBC, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[NeelyOrr]

Anyone who blames this loss on Linus is braindead.

 

[Babajingo]

This is small brain logic

My cat's breath smells like cat food

 

[Save By Thomas]

Lucky? We were outplayed

For the most part. The first toronto goal was pure luck with that ridiculous bounce though.

 

[OV]

Where did I say Ullmark cost us the game??? This alternating goalies does not work. Why not stick with Swayman who owned Toronto all season??

You implied it was a mistake that Swayman didn't play....

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

I hope I’m wrong, but I watch this team way too much

Yeah weird how a 2-0 series lead against a good opponent is not a given.

 

[Festy1986]

He's not getting a pass. He was good.

Who gives a f*** what he's done before? What relevance does that have to what you saw with your own two eyes in THIS game? He gave them a chance tonight and the team in front of him, for the most part, sucked.

My point stands. When you need him to make the stop. He won't.

I mean, he didn't... We all saw it.

 

[KrazyLegs]

All defencemen were rough for the most part . Transition out of our zone should not be such an adventure

I feel like this has been an issue going back to Big Z. We struggle clearing the puck.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Linus was solid as can be but why you would fk with your teams mojo after winning game 1 of a playoff series by4 goals is nuts.

Exactly, Monty turns into a dunce in the playoffs, he literally got everything wrong last year and looks like he is on that path again.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

For as good as Marchand was in 2011, he has a lot of key moments in playoff games that must haunt him.

 

[The don godfather]

Wouldn't surprise me Bruins win both in Toronto. That's how good Monty is. Sweeping anyone is almost impossible in the first round.

 

[Tmac37]

No forecheck at all tonight.

 

[goldenblack]

Somehow Sway not gonna get two too many on the ice penalties.

Half the game at least we stopped hitting. That also gonna be Sway?

Guys guys, goaltending was an issue tonight. THEIRS. Sammy played as good as Sammy plays

 

[Grimey]

Monty will have them ready in Toronto.

He’s gonna throw Bob Essensa in net for game 3 and put 7 skaters out on the opening draw haha

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Bs did not have a great night 5v5.

 

[Johnny4778]

Witherspoon and Van Rymstyke in next game. Get Lindholm and gryz out of there hopefully peeke good to go. I’ll take loheri over Lindholm and gryz

 

[Zillah]

Anyone who blames this loss on Linus is braindead.

The only way the name Ullmark should be used postgame is “ if it wasn’t for Ullmark it would have been 6-2”

 

[22Brad Park]

You implied it was a mistake that Swayman didn't play....

Should not mess with your teams mojo .Monty can listen to it now.

 

[goldenblack]

For as good as Marchand was in 2011, he has a lot of key moments in playoff games that must haunt him.

Marchy has been average for a few months now. His game has fallen off a cliff.

I think NHL-wise he may stop after this contract.

 

[dredeye]

BS.

Should be 5 on 3

I don’t know where we got a penalty in that

 

[Zguy370]

Anyone who blames this loss on Linus is braindead.

Exactly I blame fat, old and slow Maroon

 

[bobbyorr04]

What’d he do wrong?

Too many men on the ice ....more than once and playing Gryz are just two things that come to mind....as well as very a shitty third period

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Monty will have them ready in Toronto.

This and this again

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

My point stands. When you need him to make the stop. He won't.

I mean, he didn't... We all saw it.

I like the arbitrary “make a stop when you need him to”.

Any goal the goalie gives up can be spun into him not making the stop when you need him to.

Such a casual fan mentality

 

[smithformeragent]

Hard to sustain the up tempo forechecking, balls to the wall every shift style for an entire series.

Power play looking better than it did towards the end of of the regular season, but at the end there they couldn’t even gain the zone.

Leafs in comparison easily gain the zone on their PP and establish possession.

Defenseman depth is suddenly a concern.

Nice to get Geekie and Pastrnak going.

Have to get something out of Marchand this series.

 

[Midship]

Going back to the Tuukka days. It's so easy to blame goaltending.

2 goals in 4 shots in game 7 at home against the Blues. Wonder why Tim Thomas is a Boston legend... almost as if a goalie can play above their head when it matters most and not have every excuse under the sun made for them.
