Post-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 3 - Weeping and Crying in Maple Leaf Square in the springtime air - BRUINS 4 Toronto 2 ( B's lead series 2-1 )

[CAW1313]

Cry more Sheldon.

Sheldon says that Marchand always get those calls!! Bwahahahaha what a tool. He’s already lobbying for next game, he’s a weasel

 

[PB37]

Our captain - lays it all on the line to win, using his skill and grit and playing in the moment

Their captain - concerned about not remembering if he cleaned up his fingernail clippings earlier that morning back at the hotel

He clearly didn’t read the penalty summary bc Marchand didn’t draw any calls tonight

 

[bobbyorr04]

Jvr sitting and hiding on that 3rd line gave us depth and chances to score. Hes solid.

JVR played better than I expected and almost scored on a breakaway

..may as well play him next game

 

[NeelyOrr]

Laffs' coach crying on ESPN about the non-call on Marchy. He left immediately to have his diapers changed.

 

[22Brad Park]

I have no science behind it but I feel like the two days off will be more important for Boston then TML here.

Unrelated note I can't wait to get Brazeau back.

They will get Nylander back probably but I don't care just hit him to.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Here we go with the crying by the opposing coach. Embarrassing by their coach.

Monty has to speak up on behalf of the Bruins, mention the Leafs 5-3 PP advantage as well as the blatant missed high stick on McAvoy, etc. Don't let Keefe set the narrative for the officials for game 4.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Honestly, I thought both Wotherspoon and Lohrei were overmatched.

But, all I asked for was a win.

Request granted.

Not going to try and argue they were amazing. But I thought they were solid enough. Came into a high pressure situation, first playoff game for both of them, and hung tough. 5v5 on-ice stats:

Lohrei 12-13 shot attempts, 5-7 shots, 2-1 high danger chances, 0-0 goals
Wotherspoon 15-18 shot attempts, 9-7 shots, 1-2 high danger chances, 0-1 goals

That's not bad. Just 3 high danger chances conceded between them, 1 goal against. Yeah you can attribute some of that to their D partners, especially for Mason. Some mistakes were made. But a good effort all the same. For a first game for both of them, I'll take it. Let's see how they go from here.

 

[Barnum]

Sounded like he was about to

Because he can count on one hand how many more games he has left as an NHL coach.

 

[ProdigalFan]

Keefe bitching about calls when they had 5 PP's is priceless. How many did you want, 10?

Yeah, I didn't think either Spoon or Lohrei was a problem. Were they perfect ? No. But both played better than Gryz has been

And both players were on the ice for 10 more shifts than Shattenkirk, so it seems pretty clear the coach knows who the weakest link on the backend is.

 

[goldenblack]

Reading the Leafs board just added 18 months of my lifespan. So much lifeforce.

 

[Terrier]

Enjoyed the game at Buff's, as usual, can't get enough of Maple Leaf Square.

 

[PB37]

Bruins running the clock down at the end of the 2nd was next level awareness. Great call by the Bruins to not force the issue and kill it for as long as possible so they could open up in the third with a longer PP.

 

[Devonator]

May I just say for most of us Canadians, Thank you Boston!!!

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Well Mr Lohrei, you have arrived. We won't see Gryz again. I thought he played good enough to not dress Gryz again. Peeke would dress over Lohrei, though.

Same exact lineup game 4 I assume.

Third pairing had some adventures. But otherwise mostly liked our D tonight.

His stretch pass to JVR for a breakaway was excellent

 

[Aussie Bruin]

3rd goal was a backbreaker for the Leafs. They got a fortunate PP, converted on it and tied the game with a nice greasy puck-to-the-net goal. Then gave it straight back by coughed up a goal against in less than a minute through simply being outworked down low and losing their defensive shape. The kind of goal that makes coaches livid. Great effort by Heinen, fine finish by Marchand. Apart from some of Sway's stops, that was THE defining moment of the game for me.

 

[Number8]

Gutsy game by our boys tonight.

Nice to see Captain Marchy back in the mix.
Fair is fair, playoff Jake is an absolute boss.
I liked the D a lot more tonight — too bad about Peeke, but W-Spoon and Lohrei were solid.
Stripes did all they could for Toronto - some soooooooft calls out there tonight.
Sway was excellent.

We are watching different games. Never thought I’d be more excited for when Gryz is back in for Lohrei next game.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

It’s just a hunch but I go back to Ullmark for game 4 . Leafs are going to throw everything at them , I want Swayman fresh for later in the series and think Ullmark might steal one .

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Sometimes you just gotta go over there and pull a Colin Robinson.

 

[Over the volcano]

I'm glad he got his first taste- but if Gryzleck had the same night and put em short handed twice he'd get roasted in here

[DiggityDog]

Keefe is whining about this one and I’m over here still trying to figure how they gave the Bruins a too many men penalty in game 2 when Reaves basically pulled Geekie into the Toronto bench. They even penalized Reaves for it and still upheld the call on Boston.

Huh?

I’ve watched a lot of hockey in my day and I can’t remember ever seeing anything as silly as that.
