[KrejciMVP]

wasting a terrific series by their goaltending

 

[Barnum]

NBC wasn't perfect, but at least they tried to get mostly US players for commentary on a US centric broadcast.

I got flamed hard for saying exactly this after game 1. I mean its a US broadcast FFS and ESPN/TNT have two major biased douche bags shitting on the only US team In the series on a US national broadcast. How does that make any sense?


And the NHL wonders why the game is not growing in the US….

 

[Ned Bouhalassa]

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot the freakin puck on the net!!

 

[rfournier103]

“What you say here
What you see here
What you hear here
Let it stay here
When you leave here.”

Sounds like Las Vegas.

That is paraphrased from a sign that hangs in the clubhouses of a very prominent Motorcycle Club. That is all I feel comfortable saying about that.

Even the Canadians on NBC held back from any bias. Sharp was really good when he used to come in as a guest analyst during the playoffs. PK and Biz are just buffoons, not to mention leg-humping honks for the Leafs.

 

[BB79]

Not really. God forbid the Bruins win, I’m still very much disappointed. It’s either tread water or agonizing defeat for them

I'm in the same boat. It'll be the least excited for a game 7 win I'll ever experience, and if they lose it's meh I expected it at this point anyways. They really killed the atmosphere with the last 2 dud games.

 

[HustleB]

Today, I cancelled my NESN360 subscription. I am hoping that I do not have to go back to it next year, but I don't see a better path there yet.

 

[PaulD]

Would you even call what we have as centers? Beecher yes.

They don't win face offs they don't create offense for their wingers, Neither would be playing that position on a contending team.

They are both wingers trying to play center. How many times do we have to watch opposing teams with possession on every face off, regardless of PK PP or even strength.

Just can win consistently in big games with these two trying to play center

Next time he should just hit the go invisible mode and not get hit with a shot, I doubt for I second Sway gave him the glare lol

Out of curiosity what did you want him to do there? Lucky hail Mary shot but 88 is a stud and it paid off.

He gave him the glare. Heardcthat he did from Jake on Sirius . Then watched fir it on highlight. Jake was right.
What did ya want Charlie to do there? You are kidding right ....more you are knew ....get the f out the way and let your goalie see the shot! Instead a nice attempt at s screen and deflect. Duh

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot the freakin puck on the net!!

Win,win win a dammed face off .

It really has.
Garbage hockey.
Firs time I ever remember wanting to just get the first round over with so we can move on with the play offs. Atleast in the east anyways.

 

[CDJ]

No kidding. Frederick has three goals for God's sake.

It's all very simple. Our best players (minus Sway), have played terribly the last two games. When what is required for success is for them to actually play BETTER than they did in the regular season, not far worse.

Ding ding ding

Like I said earlier, it’s incredible to me ppl waste time and effort complaining about bottom 6 guys when the team isn’t scoring

You and me both

I'm convinced Subban goes home every night and memorizes The Book of Hockey Cliches so he has plenty of them ready to go for his next broadcast. He says the same thing over and over in 15 different ways.

 

[GoBs]

Hope Heinen can go next game they missed him.

Imagine this is the best we can hope for

 

[GoBs]

I expect allot more leafs fans there on Saturday night

It kinda feels like the year Boston was without Matt Hunwick in the playoffs. I think he had spleen thing going on. Boston was shallow up front and Savard had nobody to play RW with him. Plenty of folks were hugely overestimating the loss of Hunwick, thinking the Bruins should try him at RW1

I only say it because I was part of that group.

Matt Hunwick lol

Send them home crying.

Matt Hunwick lol

Can't really believe he still played 14 NHL games as recently as 2019, he was drafted in 2004. Surprised he was able to stay in the league as long as he did lol.

I would have guessed he was playing in Europe by 2011, but now that I think of it, I definitely remember him playing for Colorado and Toronto

 

[CamMac]

I can already picture the teary eyed Marchand post game interview where he talks about missed opportunities and how this was a learning experience

Did Marchand kick your dog or something? You never miss an opportunity to try and shit on him. Without him this series is already over.

 

[Shaun]

i said it last night but i legitimately think there’s a chance jim goes back to ullmark and he gets shelled especially if matthews is back and the game opens up

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

I'm an equal opportunity shitter.

 

[Mione134]

Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

 

[DoubleBack]

Enjoy watching game 7 everyone because I am done watching this group, I feel so bad for Swayman as he has played his heart out but his teammates can't help him by scoring. The centennial season looks to be yet another disappointment. Booooooooooooo to the Bruins!!!

I'm going to watch, God help me, but I know how you feel.

 

[Otherworld]

We have to relish in the chance at redemption here !!!
