Post-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 5 - BACK TO TORONTO - Leafs 2 BRUINS 1 F/OT - Boston leads series 3-2

[Bodit9]

That's what gets me. I can see one, maybe even two, but in a game where speed is a weapon all three ?? Monty decides to dress three of the slowest guys in the league, in a clincher. Your not getting much of a forecheck going with those guys on the ice. Just a terrible decision ! He for someone reason wants to be major factor and show the hockey world just how smart he is, well he's doing just the opposite unfortunately!

Why any changes at all, after going into Toronto and coming away with a pair of wins?!?!

Monty is a moron. If it ain't broke, don't fix it

 

[McGarnagle]

Anyone else not even mad? Like, I'm laughing my ass off at how predictable that was

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Don't do this to me again Bruins. Do not let some unproven goalie step in midway through and turn a playoff series against you on its head.

Now all of a sudden, Carlo is questionable, we literally have no idea who is starting Game 6, and the world's best goal scorer MIGHT be back in the Leaf line-up for Game 6.

Go into Toronto, load up your top 9 (and especially top 6). Put Pasta back with Marchand. Load up your Top 4 D with your 4 best defensive D-men. This isn't charity. Limit the 4th line whoever it is. Limit the 3rd pais exposure. Lean on your best players, play them more, put the pedal down and win a playoff hockey game and get this over with.

And win a face-off. When Max Domi is eating you alive in the dot. Why was Beecher scratched?

This happened during the regular season too. Beecher would be on a good run of play and all of the sudden Monty would remove him and say he "wasn't performing how we'd like".

I have no idea what he/the coaching staff sees sometimes.

 

[BTO]

I simply don’t understand why Monty had to change the lineup when things were working in our favor with the players from the last 4 games.

No one does. Least of all Monty.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

It’s going 7.

On the other hand, it very well could be the Bruins win game 6 in Toronto. It is Toronto after all.

 

[bobber]

Seemed like the Bruins were playing not to lose and the Leafs were playing to win.
Monty better have something up his sleeve for game 6. Got beat to a way to many pucks tonight.

 

[goldenblack]

I have tickets to a concert 8pm Saturday. Hate this team so much, lol

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Gryz did what he needed to do. Not sure what else he could have done? Mac and Coyle not paying attention didn't help

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Why the f*** couldnt they just come out big and confident in the 1st? wtf was that period, one of the worst ive ever seen. Gave the leafs so much life.

Yeah I don’t get the whole well we knew the Leafs were going to be taken it to the Bruins because they had to,oh so let’s just let them we don’t have to because we don’t have to win,that’s garbage.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

This team record at home is terrible in the playoffs

Makes you wish they would just be a wild card team as home ice doesn’t help them at all……..again this year……

 

[Sheppy]

Anyone else not even mad? Like, I'm laughing my ass off at how predictable that was

I’m starting to actually kind of feel this way now.

 

[Maine Fan]

Save your hearts folks we're not getting past the Panthers with this moron at the helm.

I am having a problem trying to figure put how we beat Toronto. And you want me to think Florida?

 

[Bruinator]

f*** Kozari. Marchand was held.

I'm still trying to figure our how the f#$$ He found a Toronto Power Play out of the scrum at the end of the 2nd but call Marchand for being held!!!

 

[trenton1]

It's not the entire reason they lost, but, just, wow. There was no reason for the changes. I've never heard of a coach just swapping out two players after winning two in a row in the playoffs. It's just roulette-wheel garbage. A weak effort is always on the players, but Monty can f*** off with this type of tinkering.

Monty better be gone don't win this series.You cannot blow 3-1 series leads back to back years and keep your job when you make changes both times.

 

[Coach Parker]

I have tickets to a concert 8pm Saturday. Hate this team so much, lol

Saves you the stress.

 

[Bruin]

I don’t know, I think the Bruins play better on the road and will finish this off on Thursday but man what a disappointment tonight.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Gryz did what he needed to do. Not sure what else he could have done? Mac and Coyle not paying attention didn't help

Coyle is perfect all the time. Mac sucks in big games its starting to be a trend

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

I just can’t get over what a dork Montgomery is when it’s killing time.

Too late. He has to tinker and overthink.

Maroon in OT.

You all just saw that.

 

[Babajingo]

This just in .....Monty just got a call from Mr Jacobs....You're going with Ullmark for Game 6.....I don't want those 6 million sausages to go bad for Game # 7......

It's funny cause it's probably true. At a minimum, I'm sure Mr. Burns is hoping for a Game 6 loss.

 

[BruinDust]

To me it makes no sense going back to Boston you know its gonna be crappy choppy ice go with speed and a heavier forecheck and keep it simpler. I love what Brazeau brought in the regular season but I didn't see any reason to toss him into a critical playoff game with literally zero games playoff experience looking at the entire situation. Then factor in Beecher is decent on the face-offs. I think there was an argument to scratch JVR and put in Lauko. Is Monty making decisions with his head or his heart?

 

[TD Charlie]

Anyone else not even mad? Like, I'm laughing my ass off at how predictable that was

To be that shitty in a closeout game on home ice, with your goalie standing on his head, getting no help from Pastrnak at all, and yet you’re still in OT with chances to end it

And that happens. It’s called bruins.

 

[Carl Hungus]

They're gonna do it again aren't they

 

[Maine Fan]

OK, this one is in the books. I am looking for blame. I probably should accept it is a game and care less. But I can't.
