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 )

[RiverbottomChuck]

I think you give Maroon a break next game, he’s trying but his conditioning is understandably not there yet, especially considering he’s slow as is.

 

[NeelyOrr]

The refereeing seemed one-sided, but then I remembered the Marchy trip on Berty, when the BRUINS scored and it wasn't called. So there's that.

 

[Bridges31]

Did not have a good first half of the game but man did he come alive in the second. Was all over the place.

It’s like someone gave him a Red Bull on the bench. All of a sudden he had this shift where he looked like the old Marchand and built off of it.

 

[Absurdity]

If you force the Leafs to make plays in their own zone, they wilt. The Bruins did not look great until the late 2nd, but huge kudos to them for sticking to it facing adversity and putting their foot down when it mattered.

 

[Lord Ahriman]

Never write Marchand off, never. Captain put the team on his back tonight!

 

[JOKER 192]

Sway is in the Leafs head.

Helluva shot by Brad

..changed my mood from pissed off to very happy in a hurry

Probably would have been called if Bertuzzi didn't enter free fall

Was awful officiating on both sides, refs were way too involved in the game for the first two periods.

I was so nervous throughout this whole game. What a feeling tho. I can hardly wait for Saturday night. Huge win.

Road wins in the playoffs are the best!

And I was also afraid to look at my Fitbit during the game as I was sure my heart rate was in the danger zone!!!

 

[KrejciWinger]

The coaching still needs to be much better. We are not transitioning from defense to offense at all, way too many exits are good fortune from the Leafs mishandling.

Tonight was a few clutch goals off broken plays and Sway being strong. You need those wins sometimes, but can't rely on them.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Swayman’s style reminds me of a mix of Price and Lundqvist. Obviously long long way to go to reach their level but he looks like vintage Price out there sometimes.

 

[BlackFrancis]

Never write Marchand off, never. Captain put the team on his back tonight!

As soon as I posted how I wanted to bully him, dude flips the script and goes hero.

Thank God for Brad.

What it comes down to is plain and simple. NHL refereeing, for the most part, SUX.

 

[NeelyDan]

Had to miss this one but I popped in once and saw my boy @Sheppy say “uninspired shit hockey” and popped an Ativan

 

[caz16]

I love when they have to hand out the Kleenex to Maple Leafs fans at the Square. Cold, wet, bedraggled, disappointed and crying delicious tears again, save some for Matthews, his nostrils need extra packing.

Bertuzzi did some pretty impressive parkour there

 

[neelynugs]

vintage marchand. love that rat.

 

[Sheppy]

They listened to me!

 

[Carl Hungus]

Me watching the last 5 minutes from the hallway, fully expecting a meltdown

 

[Cam14b]

Loved seeing 63 back in it!! 1 and 73 great also!
Happy with 6 and 29 overall games too!! Go B's!!

 

[HustleB]

After Marchand and Swayman, great games from DeBrusk, Freddy, McAvoy, Carlo.

I thought Pasta was pretty good, nothing to show for it.

Lohrei had a scary turnover late, but I thought he was pretty good.

Forgot about Freddy he had one of his best games of the season.

For Lohrei I thought I saw a lot of mistakes. I consider going back to Gryz as much as I feel like it puts me on an island. Watch the tape count the beauty passes and the times he got burned and tell me whether he or Gryz is better overall. I love the kid and think he will be an All Star someday (totally emotional) but just not sure he's ready this year.

 

[SPV]

I like this better, cause the leaf fan meltdown is just so much more entertaining.

Them having hope just for the team to disappoint them is my favorite thing

Just reading the main board GDT and they’re complaining about lack of calls!!!

 

[Dellstrom]

Swayman’s style reminds me of a mix of Price and Lundqvist. Obviously long long way to go to reach their level but he looks like vintage Price out there sometimes.

Whatever his next contract is, it better be 8 years. We've had 2 decades of elite goaltending, lets make it 3

 

[CAW1313]

I love Swayman.

Extend him for the next 10 years

 

[SPV]

Love #63 as the Captain of this team. What a game!

I think Bert woke him up, best game from him in a while. Huge
