[Mione134]

I need Moore, Clifton, and Kuraly back asap

 

[IntentionallyWide]

Toronto better not whine about officiating for the rest of the series after the weak sauce crap that led to 2 Toronto goals.

 

[rocketdan9]

Heinen looks good at the start of plays

But needs to move the puck quicker

Anytime he pauses to think ... the Leafs already recover

 

[UncleRico]

Krug on the ice for 14 scoring chances against 5v5. Every year this dude is consistently garbage in the playoffs when even strength.

 

[Coach Parker]

Rask will need to save this teams sorry butts Wednesday.

Outside of Tampa, Boston has NOT shown up for more games these playoffs than anyone else. They really don't seem to have a playoff mentality out there at all this year.

 

[Bodit9]

Cover the front of the net!

 

[Bruinator]

I need Moore, Clifton, and Kuraly back asap

Not to mention Johansen. He needs to come back and make some kind of contribution for the to draft choices we gave up for him

 

[Widdlez]

The entire team looked bad but imo its a winnable game if Bruce coaches better.

What's he seeing that he likes from the 1st line? Break them up already. Also ZERO of the physical pressure we saw was clearly the game 2 game plan. Why abandon that COMPLETELY?

 

[GloveSave1]

Good win for them. Had a few more guys step up then us. Just enough.

There’s really no excuse to score less than 4 goals against the Leafs. I haven’t ever seen a over .500 team that is frequently that much of a mess in their own zone.

Bruins have to bury it when the Leafs kick it around. They get plenty of chances...but if they let them off the hook throughout the game the 3rd period can be a slog.

Does seem like the Bruins were a little tentative to play physical, wary the league would protect the bellyaching Leafs. While there were some cheap calls, I didn’t see the refs going overboard. Get back to it.

 

[Kate08]

Gonna need Emilio Estevez to show up to tomorrow’s practice with a carton of eggs

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

I need Moore, Clifton, and Kuraly back asap

You used to be able to count on the 4th line spending shifts in the offensive zone. Hasn't happened through 3 game so far.

Lines 4 and 1 just holding the team back atm.

 

[rocketdan9]

I need Moore, Clifton, and Kuraly back asap

They need to rush Kuraly back

 

[Scruffy]

No team can just show up and expect to win in the playoffs with zero effort. Tampa thought this and now they're in an 0-3 hole.

Better wake the f*** up before Wednesday.

 

[Estlin]

Very frustrating. I don’t know what’s going on with the first line. If 63-37-88 don’t get their act together, then this series is over. As it is, I’m feeling very pessimistic about the outcome.

 

[Johnny4778]

Kuraly, johnson, Clifton in for game fours is my thoughts.

 

[BTO]

More infuriating than frustrating. The leafs played their game and won because Bos let them. Hit someone!

 

[catsmasher]

Cassidy is not a playoff coach. Zero adjustments. No line mixes. Go back to the AHL.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Gonna need Emilio Estevez to show up to tomorrow’s practice with a carton of eggs

I am unimpressed with the 1st lines passing plays being head high lobs.

I seem to remember they excelled with the short 4-5 foot passes as the broke out of the zone.

 

[Neely2005]

Another boring game. Game 2 has been the only entertaining game in this series.

CBC commentators talking about how this is a moment that Stanley Cup winning teams come together.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Waaahhhh wahhh the refs!

What is happening to my sporrrrt?

Nah this game is on the b’s namely Cassidy for not juggling the lines a bit in the final 15-10.

Gotta win Wednesday!

 

[22Brad Park]

Babcock is easily getting matchups he wants.Bruins coach giftwrapping this series to date.Get Pasta away from Tavares line and things will improve fast..Muzzin and Zeitsev will not be facing him all nite.Be over in 6 for Bruins if he does not start coaching soon.

 

[Bruins93]

Never seen a team shut it down like this after dominating last game. That was sickening and not a good sign of things to come.

No spine at all

 

[alg363636]

This one is on Bruce for me. Needed to try shaking up the lines. Maybe it doesnt work but maybe it would have. The top line was not working at all and he just forced it. So weird considering he usually switches up lines every game.

Very disappointing. Cant say I feel good about the series. I was worried about this but everyone laughed at the leafs....

 

[Emerz]

Andersen is by far the best player in the series so far.

Rask played more than good enough to get his team the win tonight but the first line is all sort of out of sync. They'd win the draw, cycle it around in to the corner but Bergy and Pasta would be no where near where Marchand sent the cycle.
