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

I don't hate him

It took me awhile, but I'm finally starting to warm up to Maroon

I really miss Looch, but have to settle for Maroon

 

[DoubleBack]

Are you saying that Marner is rotten to the core?

Like a roll of tape, there is no real core, is there?

Rask Vs. the Pens in 2013 was the best goaltending I've ever witnessed.

Actually the way Swayman is playing reminds me more of peak Rask than Thomas. And even though it ended badly for Rask, Swayman as a long way to go before it hits Rask level of consistency that year.

I sit behind net 1&3 and been watching Bruins goalies since Cheevers & EJ and Rask 2013 penguins was best I’ve ever seen

Rask in my mind is a HOF

Swayman makes me feel like when watching Rask or vintage Thomas

He’s a stud

Didn’t he only give up 2 goals vs. Pitt in 2013?

I think I remember posting on here something like…

Congrats to the Pens on all both of their goals.

 

[DoubleBack]

I wanna see a bit more before making any Thomas/Swayman comparisons, at least take this series first. One thing though, I don't feel like Sway is standing on his head, he's not all over making insane diving saves, he is sound and steady, he looks absolutely relaxed, and I'm loving it!

The only thing that I was anxious about last night in the last 10 min was the Bruins not allowing the Panthers to score a cheap late goal. They need to spend 48 hours starting to wonder about Swayman. A win in game two would be huge, a win with another outstanding goaltender performance by Swayman will ready start to swirl in their heads, it would pay dividends in the next games.

 

[JOKER 192]

I never got that impression.

You're not paying enough attention.

 

[JOKER 192]

Don't know how this series will turn out, but one thing I am sure of is that the Bruins are much more physically equipped to deal with Florida's physicality. We have added some serious size with the likes of Brazeau, Beecher, JVR, Geekie and Lohrei.

They don't have to be bangers they just have to be harder to bang.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

I think we will see a better Florida team tomorrow night, but if it’s going to be a long series that’s to be expected. At worst the B’s got a split and at best up 2-0. Awesome! Good to see the heavy bodies (Maroon and Brazeau) stand out as you need the vs Florida. Good coaching also by Monty with the timeout at the right time.

 

[Ladyfan]

True.

I look at it this way: This season was completely unexpected, so just enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Who knows what might happen????

That is exactly how I feel.

First I said....as long as they get to round 2 I will be happy.. It is difficult to not want more.

Bottom line they exceeded my expectations and this season is not a disappointment. I will cheer them on to whatever end.

[Maine Fan]

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

You are right, lopey. Go with the hot hand. I wasn't putting in Ullmark because I was scared, I just felt we could afford to lose if we had to and he is an excellent goalie, best in the league last year and having a good season this year. He hasn't played since 4/22, that 15 games without a real playoff game. Go with the hot hand. Swagman is outstanding. 6 games straight with a game 7 included. Yes, lopey, I am back with you. I was never scared, not with these two goalies.

 

[Maine Fan]

I am utterly baffled why people want to start Ullmark right now. Lol.

I know I am conflicted.

Swayman still has a long ways to go to put him in the same boat as Rask, but I love the way he has been planning since his Bruins debut.
His 308 wins / 2.21 GAA and .921 SVPCT are def. HOF stats.

 

[McGarnagle]

Ullmark in game 2 to screw with their heads. Then when we're up 2-0, we start Bussi in game 3 to really screw with their heads. Then game 4 we start DiPietro just to troll them.

 

[UConn126]

At this point I don't go to Ullmark unless Sway has a truly horrible game. Swayman didn't play the amount of games a typical starter does so he should have plenty of gas in the tank.

 

[Jockularity]

It took me awhile, but I'm finally starting to warm up to Maroon

I really miss Looch, but have to settle for Maroon

Craig Berube on a panel during the Dallas-Las Vegas game the other night said Maroon is "One of the best locker room guys I've been around."

 

[GoBs]

They said Bennett injured his hand blocking a shot

 

[PB37]

Is Beecher the fastest Bruin?

Only one I think may be faster is Boqvist?

Going by MPH in the playoffs, Beecher is the fastest Bruin.

 

[DKH]

Any updates when Paul Maurice all pouty face with sniffles we aren’t getting calls the league doesn’t want us to win ?

Going by MPH in the playoffs, Beecher is the fastest Bruin.

On the Jumbotron in game game 7 it was jDB with fastest speed at 23.1 or 21.3

I bet debrusk on a good day would put up a fight.

I read the Panthers board and the whole quote included "I think" at the end of this. I couldn't find the interview anywhere so don't know if true.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Sway is starting to look like Thomas in 2011, you do not mess with that, leave him in see how far he takes the Bruins.

Gotta leave Swayman in as long as he's dialed in

..and he's having fun and helping his team mates to have fun and relax

 

[Gordoff]

Me, I think the week off can be detrimental in the short term for the rust factor, but beneficial long-term for the rest factor.

Yes, didn't the Bruins have (can't remember) like a 10 day (or did it just seem that way) wait for the winner of the Western conference (Blues) in 2019. They had so much time that they had that foolish scrimmage game at TDGarden where Brad Marchands wrist was injured.

I wonder who said what and why it was so funny.

Or is he just goalie crazy.
