Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 1 - THE BEAR throws the cat over the cliff.....again - BRUINS 5 Sunrise 1 - BRUINS lead series 1-0

[DKH]

How did Carlo not name his kid Hamphus ?

 

[TD Charlie]

Carlo is one of those quiet guys that when he speaks you are taken back by how composed and animated he is. Seems to have the archetype of a good leader as well.

I love that NESN was there to video his reunion with the team yesterday. You could see how much he means to them all. Everybody lit up when he came in all smiles.

It’s only 7 games, but Jeremy Swayman is statistically having one of the greatest playoffs by any goalie in modern NHL history right now.

.955 SV % is the best any goalie has had in a playoff year in the last 60 years.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

BRUINS prove once again that game stats don't mean shite. Goals scored is the only meaningful stat.

Odds are its Swayman vest game this series and they will need 2 more.

Staying up to 11pm.

Skipping the gym in the morning.

Must be the 2nd round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs!

Not bad, folks.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Shows they mostly defended, yeah?

Can't read it so what did it show?

 

[pgm16]

Forbort is comfort for me having him back there. So smart on the PK

 

[UncleRico]

Shoutout to Forbort. Who hasn’t played in like 3 months and played a real solid 18 minutes.

Ya he’s definitely the best option on the 3rd pairing. Just who do you pair with him?

 

[Kate08]

Staying up to 11pm.

Skipping the gym in the morning.

Must be the 2nd round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs!

Not bad, folks.

I was dozing off and on and finally shut it off when they scored the fifth. And I’m in the lot at the gym now.

8pm start on a Monday is just brutal.

 

[Guelph Bruin]

Fabulous team win, Sway is so dialed in..... it would be criminal to take him out unless he stumbles. Great timeout called by Monty, also I am the biggest Boqvist fan but think Monty made the right call putting in heavy Brown...Boqvist (and Poitras if he were playing) would be easy meat and injury candidates for the heavy Panthers.

Maroon is priceless... anyone see the fake slap shot by Montour after the whistle? I would have gladly taken a penalty to punch him in the face for that action ....we need to be wary of the MT reverse ass check ..not sure what to do about it other than be aware of it and avoid it

 

[lopey]

Great game. Play like this every game and we will win more than we lose

Oh and Sway is the Way!!!

Oh and Sway is the Way!!!

 

[Ladyfan]

The Kids of Summer Stepped up Tonight Folks. So proud of the way this team responded....With no rest. Taking Game One is huge.

I believe "having no rest" was an advantage for the Bs. They still had the momentum and swagger from beating the Leafs.

 

[lopey]

I think I would put in Ullmark just to get him some goalie/ice time incase of an injury. He hasn't had a game since April 22, that's 15 days if he starts on Wednesday. I am the first to say stay with the hot hand. But we can't play Swayman every game to the cup final.

No. Cant coach scared. If we win next game its HUGE

 

[Ladyfan]

Got the split 8)

..but now I want more

 

[KillerMillerTime]

I'd like to see someone come in here with some advanced stats for us, but to my eyes, the Panthers played a good game. I'm not sure what they can change. If the Bruins bring this quality to every game, they win more than they lose. My concern is their consistency...gotta keep this up because the Panthers will keep playing like that.

Agreed 100%. Honestly can't see Swayman maintaining this and he will have to at least 2 more games.

 

[rfournier103]

..but now I want more

We all do.

 

[lopey]

Peeke vs Forbort will be a decision certainly.

Heinen too. Not sure exactly where he'd slot.

Does Peeke com in for Worthspoon?

 

[Fenway]

I freely admit that I have been a merciless critic of Jeremy Jacobs, but I do hope that a visit from the Bruins will boost his spirits if he is indeed in poor health.

Funny, I was thinking about him yesterday and was wondering if he would attend any of the games in Florida.

I will say a prayer for him.

Nobody outside of the family knows how the Chairman is doing and that is frankly acceptable - it is none of our business.

JJ gave the keys to the Bruins to Sinden for 30 years and finally cut him loose in 2006 after the Thornton trade.

 

[stocker]

24 so called experts picked Florida. Steve levy was the only one who took Bruins.

 

[rfournier103]

Nobody outside of the family knows how the Chairman is doing and that is frankly acceptable - it is none of our business.

Of course. As critical as I’ve been of his ownership of the Bruins, I sincerely hope he is doing as well as possible.

 

[Shroud of Orrin]

I remember when Swayman first came up and there were people out there saying who the F—k is this guy? He from Alaska and picked 111th - don’t worry about him. He can’t be any good. Then they were WTF? When Lohrei first appeared this year my bud (who despises the Bs) says “he’s from Louisiana - they know squat about hockey, don’t worry about him”…lol…that’s the que! Kids all over the ice AND the release! Love him. Last night was his WTF moment. Bruins scouting dept chops right there. Ridiculous.

 

[Fenian24]

Does Peeke com in for Worthspoon?

I thought Wotherspoon had a great game. To me it comes down to Peeke and Forbort. I would lean Peeke as right shot.

Nice problem to have either way. Needless to say we hopefully never see Grizz again.

 

[UncleRico]

I’d keep swayman in and go for the jugular. However, if there were a game to put Linus in, it would be game 2. Already stole one on the road could put Linus in for a game and see if he steals another

 

[Ladyfan]

Brazeau had an excellent game. I really like this kid!

 

[rfournier103]

I’d keep swayman in and go for the jugular.

yes. This.
