Pre-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 6 5/2 8:14 PM - Jack Edwards' final game MUST be a B's win - NESN, TBS, MAX, CBC, SN, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM - B's lead series 3-2

[gerrycheeversmask]

Jack and Brick are both embarrassing and cringe worthy to listen to, Can't wait to see these two clowns go away

At least you don't have to listen to Sportsnet's Craig Simpson drone on and on about what the Leafs need to do to win, that they need to shoot high on Swayman, etc... He might as well be wearing a Leafs jersey during the broadcast.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Pastrnak and Debrusk are physical and forechecking if nothing else.

Have we noticed Zacha at all?

 

[smithformeragent]

I like the 8:15 start better. Too many people running around my house 7-9 pm. Makes it hard to focus. This way they only drive me crazy for 1 period.

I was juggling a toddler from 7-8pm last night.

At this point, I'm used to being up late for these games during the playoffs, so screw it.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Matthews and Nylander have both missed time, how is this series even going six?

It’s called Bruins Playoffs hockey.

 

[Widdlez]

They were all talk before Game 5. All the talk of "we'll see if we learned anything" and "we know they are gonna come out flying" culminated in one of the flattest 1st periods they've played all season.

Now there is even more pressure weighing on them. Up to them to earn our belief back. Talk is cheap, SHOW US something.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Is peeke ready to come back. Sit grizz and Maroon and if Peeked ready put him in along with Beech. If Peeke not ready put in Shatty.

Peeke is listed week to week don’t think he has been practicing with team or even skating ,have to wonder if they will even have Carlo for next game ,players don’t usually miss OT in the playoffs just for precaution.

 

[goldenblack]

Shatty has been nearly unplayable. I think people maybe missed the extent to which he was being sheltered. It was bad. They were basically playing 5 guys in any game he played.

The problem was the only healthy guy available was captain nightmare.

For me it'll take a while to get the Beecher thing. That's gonna haunt. But hey it's a 4th liner. It can't be THAT big a mistake.

Our top 9 needed to give a shit, and largely did not.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Close this series out, would like to see peeks again

I think Peeke is skating. Doesn’t mean he is ready though since its a had injury

 

[OldScool]

What a pathetic effort in front of the home crowd in a game to eliminate a big rival without their best player...what do the Bruins do they lay and absolute egg.

 

[The Murph]

Matthews and Nylander have both missed time, how is this series even going six?

Toronto:
Without Matthews 1-0
Without Nylander 1-2
With both of them 0-1

What to grab from that? Hell Bruin's were 0-3 last year with Bergeron against Florida.

Bruins are 0-2 when a Dman is injured during a game.

Take these however you like...

Really I do not think it matters who plays because you have to have desire, hard work and players at least trying to show their potential.

This team does not qualify for any of these categories.

Yeah they truly truly had NO emotion for half the game. Straight up stunner.

 

[Patdud]

.... I hate re-runs and Hollywood sequels/remakes. The originals were bad enough.

Sometimes a player who is injured,sick whatever is better off not in the lineup

 

[PaulD]

Tickets were hundreds of dollars. Fans should be livid after watching preseason hockey at best.

totally agree
that was junk.

So you said. Three times.

4th probably coming

Did we do avatars last year?

Curse of the no playoff avatars?

 

[bob77]

We lost because we scored only one goal, and with a semi lucky bounce of the puck out of the corner right onto the stick. We need to come to play.

 

[bob77]

It’s time for Forbort to see if he helps or not. Is he ready? Should have done it last night. But he probably will see his first game in Game 7, like Sway last year. Putting Gryz back in was a mistake. We had already seen him. If Carlo is out, ouch. Who’s next with the 23 minute game alongside Mc and Lindy?

 

[Absurdity]

What do we think the lines should be?

Honestly, I would really like to see Boqvist center Zacha and Pastrnak. If that also fails, it's probably time to reunite Marchand and Pastrnak.Beecher has to draw back in on the 4th line.

Hopefully Carlo isn't out with an injury because that would be a huge loss.

 

[SwayHeyKid]

I still can't see them losing this series.

 

[whatsbruin]

A lot has been said about the lack of O, from Toronto's big 4. Boston doesn' t have a big 4, but they are getting almost zero from their better offensive players. Zacha, Coyle, Pasta better show up or they loose to Toronto. Have 1 goal from the D' and it's from Carlo.

For him to miss the OT is pretty concerning I would say.

Yea, like McAvoy doesnt have enough to do without throwing a small healthy scratch dman for him try and carry??

Hey here's an idea......Bruins start alternating coaches.
