Pre-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 6 - 4/21 3:11 PM - JUST WIN BABY!!!!

[pkunit]

I'd rather be down 3-2 in a series against the leafs than any other team. We are still in there heads and I expect the magic to begin tomorrow.

 

[lopey]

IMO, the keys to winning this game are as follows...

1) They play aggressive and attack.
2) They play physical/angry.
3) Rask outplays Andersen.

 

[lopey]

This 100%

Bruins need to substitute pugnacious for polite - The Boston Globe

“It’s time,” said a serious, somber-sounding Bruce Cassidy, following his club’s early-afternoon workout Saturday in Brighton. “We have to step up our urgency level.”

Truth is, his team has been on a dangerously low simmer for all but Game 2. Cassidy knows it and he also knows his team is in trouble. He has stood behind his bench for 300 minutes the last week-plus, and other than the night Kadri again jetted off to crazy town, both the Bruins and Leafs have played like a couple of high-end private school clubs stocked with kids hoping to land Division 1 scholarships.

Not a single fight in five games. We have witnessed (shield your eyes) a whopping five roughing minors. Oh, the humanity. But let’s not forget the requisite amount of high sticks, holds, and interference calls. All that stuff qualifies as the burr in the saddle of what so far has been a $1,000 claimer of a series.

“I think sometimes you overthink the X’s and O’s — you are trying to think a little too much about what they’re bringing to you,” said veteran pivot Patrice Bergeron. “I think sometimes you’ve got to, I guess, rely more on instincts. That’s what hockey is about. You know, your first play is usually your best play, so don’t overthink stuff.”

“It’s tough . . . we are playing every other night, each game means a lot, and when your team doesn’t show up and doesn’t show that fire, have that edge . . . ,” mused defenseman Torey Krug, “. . .

because I think we have that edge when we bring it, it really shows in our game and it pushes them back on their heels.

“We’ve got to bring it. No question about it. We’ve got to bring it.”

This has been the worst series I’ve watched since the New Jersey cup run days. Great for naps though.

That said, they could elevate it quite a bit by pushing things to game 7 and showing some give a **** out there.

So ya. Put your ****ing big boy pants on and win one.

One good game out of five from an entertainment perspective. Rest if the playoffs have been physical, nasty and intense. This has been boring for the most part.

Playoff hockey should never be boring. Cassidy played right onto Babcock hands. If you had asked Babcock before this series how he would like to see the Bruins play it would be the non physical, not intense hockey they have played so far.

I don’t think the Bruins are in their heads anymore,they have matured,I think and have learned from their mistakes,but we will,see hope you’re right.

I posted a pic of my daughter and I yesterday in jerseys only to have it corrupted by leafs fans! Beat the f*** out of these muppets tomorrow

 

[Zillah]

I really hate their smug ass fans.

Bruins haven’t played well enough to win the series at all, but I really hope they can find a way to pull it off to stick it to those losers.

Oddly enough I know no Leafs fans which is great . I knew one ages ago but he was one of these dudes who supports multiple teams (can’t stand that) so he doesn’t count . Soooo quiet here in Vancouver come playoff time . F**k the Canucks

Never mind yapping about it- do it.

I know lots and it will be hell if the Bruins loose,most obnoxious fans there is.

...and quite frankly, some of the most misinformed fans I have ever met in my life.....Toronto is not a hockey town, they are a "Leaf" town.

 

[TP]

Whatever.

We're toast.

 

[Otherworld]

Except for game 2, all I have really seen from the Bruins is uninspired hockey. It is gut check time boys. Nobody is going to give you anything. Time to take control of your fate or our season will be over.

 

[Fenway]

Whatever.

We're toast.

If you know its posted here just point me to it.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

I really think they win this game,but unfortunately go back to Boston to lose game seven ,but I’m rarely right about anything so don’t make any bets on it.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

4-3OT win tomorrow and 5-1 win game 7

 

[Boston Bandit]

It's been 15 years since the Maple Leafs last won a playoff series, a first-round, seven-game set with the Ottawa Senators. If you think that was a long time ago, consider the last time the Maple Leafs ousted the Bruins in the playoffs: 1959. Yes, it was 60 years ago when Toronto last punted the Bruins from the Stanley Cup chase, when the NHL was in its Original Six era.

This right here gives us hope.
Let's Go Bruins!

 

[DKH]

There is always hope.

If the Leafs can’t win on Easter they never will

Sorry I meant on a social media outlet!

Regardless I want leafs to bleed tomorrow!
