BRUINS GDT ECQF GAME 5 4/30 7:11 PM - Jack Edwards’ final home game broadcast - NESN, NESN 4K, ESPN, CBC, SN, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM - B's lead series 3-1

[Coach Parker]

This is the ultimate fear for me. Thinking they have it in the bag and letting the Leafs crawl back into it.

Go for the jugular tonight.

Same. Need an Andrew Ference-type of speech about letting a team come back and force a game 7.

I'm also not so sure about tweaking the lineup, but...

Since Justin Brazeau made his Bruins debut, he LEADS the team in on-ice Goals For %. His addition would be on the safer side of the risk spectrum.

1t. Justin Brazeau = 66.7%
1t. Jesper Boqvist = 66.7%
3. Danton Heinen = 59.1%
4. Morgan Geekie = 59.0%

He has also blocked a lot of shots, which has been important in this series.

Who would come out for Brazeau? That's a tough decision.

 

[Gee Wally]

I want goalie hugs, handshakes and Jack to go out in a blaze of glory.

 

[Blowfish]

Bahahahaha

 

[Coach Parker]

I'd actually like every series to end and Vegas or Dallas to win in 6 to get the second round started ASAP. We have had our share of game 7's in Boston. Let's end it tonight and see a hometown goalie hug.

 

[sarge88]

Still the slowest workday ever....

Even longer for me as I have a class from 6-9, so I won’t watch until after it’s over.

 

[Sheppy]

93 points in his last 78 playoff games for Marchand.

I think you don't tweak a lineup that won (unless somebody is banged up an unable to be 100%). If Brazzeau were to go in it should be JVR out. As much as he can score a goal sometimes he's still aging and is the weakest link on the bottom 6.

I certainly wish Monty would go with Swayman as well. If he loses you can go Ullmark in game 6 (and then back to Swayman in game 7 if Ullmark loses) but taking Swayman out when he's winning against the Leafs would be nuts imo.

 

[Coach Parker]

93 points in his last 78 playoff games for Marchand.

My buddy has a parlay bet from Golf, first round playoffs and this:

He took all the parlays and bet 17:1 on Brad Marchand leading the goal-scoring in this series. If Marchand wins the goal-scoring race in this series, he wins $4250.00.

He's a huge Canucks fan and family season ticket holder since 1990 and has agreed that if Brad pulls it off he will wear a Marchand jersey all day around Vancouver.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

93 points in his last 78 playoff games for Marchand.

If that was his total career, it would be 11th all time, just above Jari Kurri and just below Mike Bossy. Higher than Crosby, Kucherov, Sakic, Makar, Forsberg. Ridiculous run.

 

[Maine Fan]

It is close out night in Boston for the Bruins
4-1

Let's get some hugs, then some rest with a little injury healing while awaiting the next challenge.

Go Bruins

 

[Mione134]

Leave no doubt. Play the game like it's Game 7. Get this win.

 

[jgatie]

I'd say I'd like them to win it tonight so they can shut up all the annoying Leafs fans on the main board. But who am I kidding? They are still going to flood that board with threads about the Leafs; asking why they lost, who they should trade, is the coach a goner, was Matthews really sick or was he hungover from his nights out with Bieber, etc. in a desperate need to remain relevant in the playoffs.

 

[Absurdity]

Prove them wrong

 

[lopey]

Prove them wrong

Leaf's are no Florida. But I do wan them to end it tonight. Give them zero hope!

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Prove them wrong

I hope the Bruins post this in their locker room, Reaves is correct though.

 

[Ladyfan]

Prove them wrong

I hope Reaves is playing tonight...because he sucks

Not too shabby

That's why Swayman is playing so good against the team that slighted him

..and I've never heard of Ian Scott

 

[jgatie]

Sway has never been shy about mentioning slights, like the arbitration stuff. I highly doubt it he has any feelings at all about the Leafs not taking him one pick higher in the 4th round, except maybe eternal gratitude for not being drafted by that dumpster fire of an organization.

The excuses have been pouring in after every game already. Right now it's that the Sore 4 haven't played a whole game together, and they've never lost a series in less than 7 games.

I really hope "Sore 4" catches on.

 

[Carl Hungus]

Hope the boys come out firing with the same intensity as my PTSD with this 3-1 lead

 

[goldenblack]

For the last 5 minutes I've been saying this, but replacing Larry with Auston. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS AUSTON.

YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS AUSTON?

 

[Hockeyville USA]

I really hope "Sore 4" catches on.
