BRUINS GDT ECQF GAME 3 7:11 PM - BRUINS at Maple Leafs ( Series tied 1-1 ) - NESN, ESPN, CBC, SN, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[Comedy of Errors]

Monty needs to counter the matchups. Seems the Leafs are playing a better game of chess.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Bertuzzi has been holding Marchand's stick just about every shift. You know the refs will just call Marchand when he snaps and retaliates.

do you keep track of all the missed calls or just against the Bruins?

 

[CrownofThornton]

If this is frustrating, imagine this Bruins team playing the Panthers again.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Frederick…..7th player award winner or not….doesn’t bring it in the playoffs. Hope Sweeney moves on from him but I don’t think they will.

 

[Zillah]

Said it before , I’ll say it again … I want Dakota Joshua on this team next season

 

[NeelyOrr]

Pastrnak is the only player on the roster capable of 30+ goals at this point. He can only do so much.

Compare his intensity to Matthews, It isn't even close.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Same but you’d think the sky was falling

Nah but so far the Bruins have been the nail.

 

[bobber]

Telling Matthews to watch his stick means it may also be a penalty.

Game management aside, Toronto and Bruins hardly created scoring chances aside from the PP.

The issue is lack of physicality. Frederic invisible. Maroon invisible. No Lauko. JVR/Zacha types are large but not physical.

Coyle hitting at least.

Monty should jump on these guys to step up.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Frederic skating on egg shells. Doesn’t have enough skill to get a free pass for not getting engaged physically

Blast him into the sun this offseason, a guy like Lomberg would provide 3x what he does when it matters at half the cost.

 

[CAW1313]

its called Bruins....it's not even a surprise anymore

I agree but it’s the playoffs for gods sake

 

[Aussie Bruin]

The game is played on the ice though not on paper.I saw lots of teams over years develop pack mentality and go on runs.

Oh it's possible, of course it is. But it can't be expected. How much can you reasonably ask of a coach when the talent just isn't there?

 

[TobanWest]

Funny how many posters that were so against tough players are not posting. Is it due to seeing the proof in the pudding.

He could not do it game 2 with last change.Bruins need to stick with it playing well

 

[mar2kbos]

meh period, not horrible. Not really playoff like intensity either. They need to decide to get back to the chippy game one way of things. You cant do that for one game, and then call it series.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Isles fan here. Just wondering How good or bad Wotherspoon is in the playoffs? Do you think his game is playoff level?

Come back after he plays more than one period

 

[Gordoff]

Nice high hits

95% of them are high.

 

[Sheppy]

Do not pass up on shots in the second.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Compare his intensity to Matthews, It isn't even close.

Matthews' intensity as a positive?

 

[BamBamCam]

Trent is lazy u ask me.

Trent is American if u ask me.

Fixed it for you

Monty’s playoff coaching hasn’t been great

 

[bingobangobongo123]

Reaves was so impactful it caused the Bruins to have 2 minutes of O-Zone dominance. WEEEEE HITS WEEE!! He sucks.

 

[22Brad Park]

Oh it's possible, of course it is. But it can't be expected. How much can you reasonably ask of a coach when the talent just isn't there?

Well just keep it simple it will come.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Isles fan here. Just wondering How good or bad Wotherspoon is in the playoffs? Do you think his game is playoff level?

This is his first game kind of early to tell

 

[Oates2Neely]

I’d like to see someone hit Matthews/ Marner. Seems like Pastrnak Marchand Zacha taking hits constantly

 

[SPLBRUIN]

If this is frustrating, imagine this Bruins team playing the Panthers again.

The Panthers will have no problem with either Boston or TO. They will also not make Samsanov look like a HOF.
