They never said they were alternating for the first four games. They’ve never said that publicly. Maybe their plan was to play Sway if he won game 3? All they’ve said is they have a plan.

All the play until a loss guys here are good with going to Ullmark in Game 5 if Sway were to lose game 4?

Not sure how painful migraines are but I have gout and it's the king of pains.

I had gout so bad one day that I could not sleep, constant high pain enough to make me nauseous I was ready to just cash my chips in. Yay to Allopurinol, not a problem since. Diet change helps as well.

A maintenance day for Matthews? What the f*** has he done that he needs one?

Heard he had the flu last game.

I'm off the meds trying to fight it off with diet so hard. I gotta watch everything I eat. It's a battle.

Does the “Hot Hand” Exist in Hockey?

Nearly every hockey fan and player will tell you that, when the playoffs arrive, you have to go with the goalie who’s on a roll. Are they right?

[khanomcat]

Has there been one overtime game yet in the entire playoffs? Some years by now it seems like we’d have quite a few.


Can you FaceTime me the game?

Maybe has been posted, but Florida/Tampa game 3 went to overtime. Still, fewer than usual.

Either goalie is fine with me. My worries are leafs are due to beat Sway. 6-0 is un heard of. Can he go 7-0? Law of averages say leafs are due. Ullmark goes in im ok with it

Kinda my thinking. Win with Ullmark and let them poop themselves when they see Swayman again at TD on Tuesday night.

Hammer not nail.
No mental mistakes.
Swayman.
No Maroon.

Alas it is not a perfect world.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

This extra day off is annoying

Needed to get Nylander back to Toronto.

Wow you're the last poster I'd expect to not want Maroon out there. I don't mean that in a negative manner.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Team seems to play way more amped up with Swayman than Linus.

 

[goldenblack]

Btw we should score 5+ on Sammy and make this goalie thing a non-starter. That's what should happen.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Wow you're the last poster I'd expect to not want Maroon out there. I don't mean that in a negative manner.

I would rather Lauko with how Maroon has played. If Maroon could even skate at Reaves speed... every shift he is miles behind the puck, unable to make a legal forecheck hit and the puck already at center ice. Add in Toronto with home ice last change and Maroon's speed is trouble.

The idea of Maroon, Game 1 Maroon was perfect. Two games absent now, and the Bruins forecheck is essential to winning.

The Toronto defense is a handful of Forborts with the puck.

It has been the other way at times.

If Ullmark starts I'm officially on the Fire Monty bandwagon that many of you were on after last year's fiasco. Ullmark likely won't even be here next season so why start him in a crucial game 4 this season? Let's see what we really have in Swayman.

Fair enough, it's like he did his job setting the tone in game 1 to start the series but other than that he's been ineffective.

You're obviously free to think how you like, but kinda crazy to act like we know better when we are nowhere near the team. Personally I'll trust in the guy who's gotten us this far in a year we were not expected to be that good.

Would much rather see the Bruins put them away in regulation maybe like 5-0,but I guess a chance to go up 3-1 with an overtime goal wouldn’t be the worst outcome.

Not good on the heart lol

Quite an exaggeration.

As for Maroon, he's a veteran of the playoffs. He'll forecheck when it's safe to, hold back when it's more prudent. Lauko is still a player that just goes by his instinct. Hard all the time, not smart much of the time. Coaches will usually go with the experienced guy.
