f*** this guy!
maybe he comes back next year
B's build from the Net out.These Toronto fans bring this on themselves. They expect to lose. The problem, imo, isn't the TO 4, it's the middle guys. Geekie, Heinen, Beecher, Lauko, Boquist are playing better than the Toronto middle guys. Montgomery is able to constantly switch line mates. For me they're the difference.
Plus the Bruins defense is pretty good.
Does Peeke bump Lohrei or Spoon when healthy?
Probably gonna be Lohrei vs those massive Panthers
i agree.Last night was one of the best overall defensive games I’ve seen them play all season. Last nights defensive group did an outstanding job of getting the puck out of the zone and transitioning to offense. Suffocated the leafs all night.
If they play well next game against Toronto then I’m telling Gryz and Peeke that they will have sit until someone messes up.
My guess is he was looking to inflate his offensive numbers so that he could really cash in this year with his UFA status. With Toronto's offense first system, it appeared to be the smart move. If you want to really win the Stanley Cup, would anyone sign with Toronto ? I mean they get tot he playoffs and have a chance, but with that D and goaltending, that chance is minisule.
Peeke is week to week so doubt he is back anytime soon probably break or cracked bone in hand,and personally I would rather keep Lohrei in over Gryz.Last night was one of the best overall defensive games I’ve seen them play all season.

Shattenkirk a number of lazy turnovers in the defensive zone in the 3rd period. I would replace him with Peeke or Forbort going forward when available.
Gryz does not play another game.
$5 million. Did well for himself although these playoffs are not helping his next contract.
She is just worried that people realize they can get free pain by becoming a Leafs fan
weird stat, Pasta has been on the ice for 4 of the leafs 5 even strength 5v5 goals.
I'm worried. Need them to finish this quickly, no reason playing more of these games, it's been physical and high pace series.Man I have to admit, I have Bruins game 5 trauma.
This is one we rarely win. We're gonna learn a lot Tuesday.
All things we know but not sure the Bruins do,hopefully they have learned from pass mistakes.The best thing for the Bruins is to get this series over as quick as possible. As before attrition is a killer in the play offs. Getting breaks between series is so important. Gives a couple of scrapes and bruises a chance to heal up somewhat.
we arent going to win. you know it.I'm worried. Need them to finish this quickly, no reason playing more of these games, it's been physical and high pace series.
It'd be amazing to get a fast start, put in one of two in the first and get the leafs stars to start bickering on the bench again.
Indeed . With what has happened in the recent past, I don’t even think about the next series , opponents etc. until we win that fourth game.All things we know but not sure the Bruins do,hopefully they have learned from pass mistakes.
Not weird at all, not in the leastweird stat, Pasta has been on the ice for 4 of the leafs 5 even strength 5v5 goals.

^ ThisThe Leafs are just flat out terrible. They are so bad at defending and also at forecheck. If they don’t score on the rush, it’s over. They have no ability to dump and chase, get and KEEP possession along the wall and down low, and cycle etc. They seem to always try an immediate pass out front, and the Bs in their zone coverage have the “house” all protected, stick in lanes, and instantly the play goes the other way and out of the zone. The Leafs seem to get a two second forecheck and it’s over. This has been really easy on all the Bs D, including Gryz when he was in. I’ll give credit to our Fs being in good position also in our zone, including great C play down low and W out high and collapsing when needed. I don’t think the Leafs know what to do to beat a team as disciplined as the Bs in zone coverage. A lot of NHL teams still play man down low with 2 D and a C, but it’s not easy to play against a skill team. Vegas all of a sudden is a defensive juggernaut since Cassidy arrived and brought the zone. It’s funny, because I’m very old, and all you need to know is that ONLY zone coverage existed when I was young. Along with a few other things, like F stay in your lanes, etc. Hockey was only North South. It was be on the right side of the puck. Dump chase, hard into the corners. First guy blast the D, second get the puck. Protect the puck, keep possession down low, meet at the net, screen, no fly by, stop at the post. It was a simple game. It seems to me the simple game is making a comeback.
Tank You Monty...lolSo glad the B’s deliberately tanked those games at the end of the season to ensure we played the Laffs. Monty is a genius.
