At the resume.... each game is a needed win. Nothing new here. One game at a time. To win a series, you beed four wins,,, umtil there each game is the same. That said, Rask imo needs to steal the next one in Toronto.

I am glad tomorrow is an afternoon game. Let’s get right back at it . I am getting a little tired of having a great regular season and then a mediocre playoffs . All that stands in our way is winning two ****ing games . Let’s do it .
Me too won’t go up against Game of Thrones.Lol

I know this sound crazy but I would bring Zack "2 games" Senyshyn up and plop him next to Krecji and Debrusk. We know he likes to shoot and has speed to burn, who cares about the 200 ft game at this point. Keep chipping pucks up the ice and have him chase them down. Move Pasta with Coyle and Mojo, Heinen with Marsh and Bergy. Ride each line 15 to 18 minutes and force mismatches for Toronto on defence.

This is so true, these games look like exhibition games and they have no idea what they are in for next round no matter who advances. This is embarrassing hockey to watch for us fans. I hate this series. Where is the NHL playoff effort and intensity? It's pure garbage.

C'mon give them a break, they're playing hurt. No wait, too much time off. Actually no, the ice is bad. No they just hit some posts. Actually the refs screwed them.

I'd consider it. His speed is undeniable. But Butch wont.

Normally I'd say it's a dumb idea but the Bruins have had luck with having players play some of their first NHL games in the playoffs.

Seeing as how Backes only played 4 min. last night,I think the only change will be Backes for Kuhlman.

He’s provided as much or more than those two and it’s not even the best thing he brings.

It appears things are about to change....it's about time,

Well, kinda, sorta..............that just hurts. Seriously, no hockey fan wants to see a game or a series affected by a BS call like that. NHL goalies all died inside last night. No way that should have counted. Imagine if it had been reversed, and one of the B's backed in to Anderson, and it counts...........Leaf nation would have crashed the internet...
I still think the Bruins in 7.

I haven't made too much of the goalie interference because even though it was clearly the wrong call and we ended up losing by 1, the Bruins have themselves to blame for the complete no-show in 4 out of 5 games so far.

That said, they say that everybody gets bad calls and that they always even out in the end, but I'm pretty f***ing sickened at the fact that this is the third year in a row our playoff chances have been halted by absolutely criminal officiating
2017: Pasta gets tripped on a breakaway in OT, no call, as the play is going back down the ice the other way, they call an incredibly weak call on Pasta to put him in the box and set up the Sens' series-winning PPG
2018: McAvoy gets hooked down around the net, leading directly to a game winning goal for Tampa in a crucial game 4.
2019: Hyman interferes with Rask, no call.

Every f***ing year. It's something with this franchise, we always get the short end of the stick because of all the rest of the league's whining about physical play and Colin Campbell back in 2011 gave us some kind of dumb reputation, even though we're charmin soft right now.

Man I’m just not sure John Moore is actually any good at this stick/puck thing.

Would probably rather have Kampfer in there. Too bad we didn’t go the Chiarelli route and grab a nice grizzled vet at the deadline. Would have taken any of Detroit’s guys with some $ changing hands

Hey, I’m full of dumb ideas but not sure this one of them. Leafs have had no exposure to him, stretches their D, forces them to stop clogging up neutral zone. Toss Kuhlman on 4 line with Kuraly and Wags for the same reason.

You're right on the money here. This sounds crazy.

You forgot the lack of a call on the Marchand breakaway last year in game 3 where his hands werer slashed and he lost the puck with the opportunity to tie it up with 2 minutes left in game 3.

Can we talk about how bad the fans were at the Garden last night and in this series? It was absolutely dead for the first period, in the 2nd period it was dead other than some boos after the 3rd power play. And the 3rd period was also dead. My god. Take a look at game 6 to see how a real crowd supports their team.

Unfortunately Bruins fans have the same mentality as Patriots fans where they sit back and wait for something to happen, instead of being proactive and helping their team when they are down.
