Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 2 - Old-Time Hockey - Where were the Hanson Brothers??? - Series tied 1-1

[Carl Hungus]

1-1 with some fresh motivation

They lost oh well but they sent a message that they won't put up with it, Pasta with lots of heart. Hope they can channel it into a good game 3

But if I see one more too many men penalties my head will explode

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

They were always going to bounce back, don't think anyone can complain about a series coming back home 1-1, one ugly game for both teams. The biggest compliment someone could pay Maroon is how Florida played once he was ejected. Found their balls for the first time in the series once he was tossed for saying mean words.



Also can Montgomery start playing the game other coaches do and start bitching about the refs when he's doing media? Bruins are a -9 in power play opportunities from Game 3 against Toronto. Florida are one of the most penalized teams in the league this season and they are already +4 in this series. We have seen it work, time for Monty to do it.

70 hits for the Bruins??

I must have missed 65 of them

 

[the negotiator]

Game wasn’t that bad up till the end of second. Going tied back to Boston… is absolutely fine by me.

Problem is Fla is now telling themselves game one as an aberration caused by the six day lay off

Need to quickly dispel them of that theory

They gave Marchand 8 for his 1 on Tkachuk.

Side note: Keith Tkachuk makes Pat Maroon look like a featherweight for f*** sakes

Doesn't matter what Fla thinks if you come out and punch em in the mouth

 

[Over the volcano]

I still believe Pastrnak can pull himself out of the rut. McAvoy not so much. He’s been hard to watch. Not many redeeming qualities to his game.

He's playing injured and trying to manage his game. It sunk them last year against FLA too. But let's see what he can do

 

[HumBucker]

Well, at least there was push-back.

On the one hand, I don't like Pasta fighting Tkachuk. What if he'd injured his hand? Or gotten a broken orbital bone or something?
On the other hand, while Pasta's no fighter, I liked the fight in him, and something tells me that goes a long way with showing his teammates that it's all in for everybody - even he'll get down and dirty.

Game 3 will be interesting.

you keep saying that, but it's empirically false, it was bad from puck drop in the 2nd. They were *badly* out played the entire 2nd. hell the last half of the first wasn't particularly fantastic either

 

[Boston Bruno]

I am concerned but then I reflect that we beat Toronto with Heinen Lorhei Wotherspoon Boqvist Maroon Jvr


If you told me that at the start of the year I would have laughed


I greatly dislike how we just lost, I think it gave Florida too much momentum and they are to well rounded to do that


Back to Swayman and some pepper in the pot.

Cinderella continue

 

[sarge88]

Sunday at midnight if we were told it would be 1-1 going into Friday, 100% of us would take it!

To quote Hitch from Shoresy…

That’s where we’re to!

Bring it!

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Okay, hear me out;

Monty puts Grizz in the lineup for game 3. But the players get together and hatch a plan. They bag Grizz and lock him in the trunk of McAvoy's car. it doesn't matter what Mac drives, Grizz'll fit.

Then they find a big assed 48 jersey and put Darth Quaider in it

McAvoy is basically playoff Gryz right now. He has to be a million miles better for Boston to win this series.

 

[Sheppy]

Side note: Keith Tkachuk makes Pat Maroon look like a featherweight for f*** sakes

The fans weren’t throwing rats, Keith just burped them out.

 

[CrownofThornton]

well.

I can honestly say I don’t have the faintest idea how this series is going to go. I voted Panthers in 6, but we’ll see. Lots of hockey left to play.

 

[Johnny4778]

It was 2-1 going into third with 1 second left.

 

[Zillah]

It really says something the stat that the Bruins have five too many men on the ice penalties this playoffs and the rest of the league has four . Be better , it’s crunch time .

 

[Over the volcano]

Highlight of the game might be Hextalls story of Frederic telling his line "we're going" before the faceoff... and they did, and got a PP out of it too. Pack mentality and great leadership from the kid

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Best of five, home ice advantage

Other than the Leafs in game 7’s when has home ice been an advantage for the Bruins in the playoffs in years.

 

[analyser]

Game wasn’t that bad up till the end of second. Going tied back to Boston… is absolutely fine by me.

Yes until Florida scored with 1.3 sec left with McAvoy screening Swayman. Turning point as far as I am concerned.

 

[BB79]

The fans weren’t throwing rats, Keith just burped them out.

I didn't know players could invite family out onto the ice

 

[Lobster57]

is there a clip of whatever it was that Maroon "did" to get tossed?

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Well, at least there was push-back.

On the one hand, I don't like Pasta fighting Tkachuk. What if he'd injured his hand? Or gotten a broken orbital bone or something?
On the other hand, while Pasta's no fighter, I liked the fight in him, and something tells me that goes a long way with showing his teammates that it's all in for everybody - even he'll get down and dirty.

Game 3 will be interesting.

Hopefully McAvoy buys in.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

I was happy when we were winning 1-0

Then annoyed for most of the night. Meh.

Then got really annoyed when they kicked Maroon out and Florida suddenly got tough. Interesting

Big thing for the Bruins was the third and blowing their corks. They will be ready for game 3. Florida was better and had to be. But no matter what the Bruins didn’t cower in the third like last year. So many on this board were upset with the lack of pushback/toughness vs Florida last year. I was for sure. Looks different this year. Series isn’t over. We need some more guys to step up but these types of ‘incidents’ bring a team together. Should be a a few good games in Boston!

Let’s go Bruins!
