Depends who you choose to listen too. Nashville was never a serious contender. They rode a Hasek like performance to the finals 2 years ago. Been f*** all since Rinne came back down to earth. Jets have been average to lousy all season with a hot and cold goalie (more cold than hot). Bruis were suppose to be a lock to beat the loafs but after that, they were no ones pick to win a Cup.

Game five was a disaster. That game was there for the taking. Bruins should have blown them out in that game.

Sure does.
Delivers bad passes. Trouble taking a pass clean. Never gets a loose puck around the net. Soft on the wall. Ton of give aways. Leaf goalie probably has no idea who Heimen is.

“This could be the greatest night of our lives. . . Let’s do it!! Go!! Go!! Go!!!” Like the screaming guys pouring out of Delta House to commit mayhem, we need to bolt out of the door at introductions - as one Airborne NCO once yelled at me - “running like scalded apes and screaming like we just escaped from a mental institution.” Probably insensitive from a mental health perspective, but you get the picture of what is required. Unstoppable motivation. Scare the hell out of the opposition. Escalate from there. No mercy. Stop dangling, over handling, and perimeter play. Shots on net, crash the net. Win this one, win the next one. Rinse, repeat.
Yes. It created huge doubt. Although its just one game. But a team capable of being that bad, at home, in a huge game , against a team that did not play well either????

It’s been a very long time since I’ve wished I was a pro athlete, but I’d give anything to suit up for the Bruins today.
Not sure how I’d do on the scoresheet, but I do know that I’d play like it’s Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final.

I don’t agree I thought the Leafs played a pretty good road game ,they had the Bruins hemmed in their own end the majority of the game ,and if not for Rask could have taken the lead much earlier in the game.Yes Bruins didn’t put back much of a fight I agree,but have to also give the Leafs credit also.

Toronto's been able to play the style of game I honestly never thought they were capable of. They're slowing the game down, clogging up the neutral zone, disrupting the cycle and forcing The Bruins away from their clean outlet passes. Leafs are playing with structure - which I haven't seen from them all season and why I thought it'd be a cake-walk. They look like Babcock's Wings with all their little hooks and barely cross-checks and it's tough sledding.
The B's need to score first. - which is something I wasn't concerned with going into the series.

Awesome.
Heinen tied for 3rd in scoring (1g/2a), tied for the team lead in plus/minus (+2) while being 9th in TOI for forwards.
Maybe he should be out there more? Just a thought.
So you are either:
a) Not paying very close attention.
b) Just trolling.
Also, are you even a Bruin’s fan? Guy with 13k+ posts and I don’t recall you ever being here (unless you changed your name)?
Looks like a lot of your posts are from the MTL forum. Are you just mad that the B’s drafted Heinen before the Habs (he was supposedly on their draft board)?
Shouldn’t you be over there discussing the relative merits of Spring golf in the province of Quebec?
I disagree with any suggestion the Bruins are “stacked” or “loaded”, but I definitely agree they’ve played a poor to mediocre series to date.
Key players have been absent, some players we thought were excellent or up and coming during the year have been mediocre or exposed this series (looking at every dman except the top pair), goaltending has been just okay (minus Game 5 IMO), and adjustments haven’t worked enough. Top to bottom, excluding a few guys, it’s been disappointing. To me the only reason for optimism is that this feeling happens in the playoffs sometimes. 16 wins is a long stretch, and teams can struggle and still move on. The Bruins, notably their top line, need to find a way to keep it going.
LOL Good one
I Cant stand the Leafs.
(I aint the only one unimpressed with Heimen) See how he plays this afternoon.
