Pre-Game Talk: ECQF Game 6 - Back To Florida - April 28, 2023 - 7:30pm ET

[JerseyBruin]

Called it and into existence

Good. Need Cliffy to lay out some big hits today.

Need to lay out big hits but stay out of the box. This game they need to grab and pad the lead , then if the Panthers want to get chippy hammer them.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

oh yeah.
and shoot high on bob.
i know marshy was rushed. but get that puck up.
bob is really good along the ice.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Hall averaging a goal per game so far in round 1. A couple of goals from Pastrnak, one from a dman, a Marchand goal… B’s are in business. I’ve got a good feeling about tonight.

Get a big lead, let the panthers goon it up and respond accordingly. Someone grab hold of Tkachuk and feed him some knuckles

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Exactly.

When the Bruins beat Columbus in 2019, that’s what they discovered, I want to say 3 games in. High glove side

 

[FinnBear]

Bruins got this tonight in 6. They identified their mistake and correct them. Panthers better have some hand moisturizer ready so the hand shake line goes smoothly.
Everyone that traveled down there have fun at the game and safe travels!

 

[BMC]

Only thing I can see is Pk. And net front clearing.

I agree. Forbort is an ace PKer & does a good job of keeping guys out of the crease. I just wish he was better 5x5.

 

[whatsbruin]

I’m truly amazed this Florida team got to Game 6. They simply aren’t very good. The Bruins started slowly in the series and have handed them goals for the last 2-3 games.

Not gonna panic by any stretch, but Bruins missed a great opportunity to get added rest for a team that has mysteriously somehow racked up injuries late despite having clinched months ago.

Suffice it to say they better not let this get to Game 7. Florida is going to be EASILY the worst opponent they’ll see the rest of the way.

B's have way better goaltending
B's have way better Defense
B's have way better offensive depth
B's have the same star power that FL has.

The B's, all of them, need to play to their ability.

 

[NDiesel]

Seriously. Although, today isn't so bad.

Usually when they announce the refs it's "dEy R gOiNg tO ScReW uS oVeR!"

No they're not. If you go out and play your game, work your ass off, you'll win the hockey game. You skate, you're going to draw calls, you work hard, you're going to draw calls. If you're on your heels, you're going to commit infractions.

Worry about the hockey game, not who's calling it.

Exactly man...if they just play their game the refs should be irrelevant

 

[UncleRico]

It makes sense to ride Linus.

I disagree with who sits but at least we get a guy who can throw hits and spread out the snarl.

Cliffy usually comes out on fire after sitting out so fingers crossed.

I love Krejci but I don't want him playing.

My only concern is can Linus handle the work load. He’s been platooning the last two years, never really played a full season before that and now he’s playing what 6 games in 13 days and appears to be banged up. He’s definitely never had a stretch like this as a bruin.

 

[BobbyAwe]

Clifton is going to hit someone in the mouth tonight, and I cannot wait to see it.

This is the playoffs - THERE'S NO FIGHTING!

 

[SPLBRUIN]

It would great if he actually cleared the front of the net but at this point it has to be related to the PK

The PK

Only thing I can see is Pk. And net front clearing.

The PK has given up goals the last 2 games with Forbert in the lineup, they were on an incredible roll prior to his return, I don't get it.

 

[BMC]

Mark my words - we are going to see a career-defining hit from Clifton on Tkachuk.

If anyone can do that it is certainly Cliffy. Guy is absolutely fearless & seemingly enjoys whacking people around.

 

[whatsbruin]

I think Clifton will have a big hit or two, and pump up the team.

 

[Bread and Circuses]

I can't watch live tonight.

I am annoyed.

 

[Widdlez]

hate hate hate gryzlyk out, feels like the exact thing they are struggling at (not turning it over leaving their zone) is what gryz is great at

 

[Mamrd]

No Krejci, no win.

 

[Ladyfan]

Here Ya Go!

Oh no...darn.

 

[sooshii]

ok Bruins fans, here's the straight goods

1) Montour is hurting

2) Ekblad is definitely hurting, he's holding on just barely physically

3) Lomberg is done

4) Barkov is probably hurt


Clifton is coming in because we're going to physically end these guys. They have had to play their best guys for big minutes, and in a longer series that's where the creme rises.

I love this. We're going to win this series.

Tonight!

 

[LouJersey]

It;s weird how Gryz has barely played this series even when dressed. It's like the success and puck movement during the regular season doesn't matter for some reason all of a sudden.

Part of the Bruins issue this series IMO is the overthinking. Team down the stretch was better wthout Krejci, Forbort and Foligno. Not saying they are bad players, but things have just looked so disjointed this entire series.

Oh no...darn.

Do two jinx make a postive ?

 

[LouJersey]

I agree but even when dressed he barely played. He's under 13 min average ice time for the series. I think Montgomery had a great season as coach, but during the play-offs he just seems to be making mountains out of molehills.

 

[Ladyfan]

Clifton is going to hit someone in the mouth tonight, and I cannot wait to see it.

I like Cliffy but he has to play smart.
