Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 3 - Sunrise 6 BRUINS 2 - Florida leads series 2-1

[22Brad Park]

We can talk about talent all we want, but that was an absolute piss poor effort by the Bruins in the playoffs. It wasn't the first or second time either. If you don't get pucks on net, you aren't going to win games.

Even with the poor play, the game was winnable when they were down 1-0. They just need to wake up and play.

Blame the guy behind the bench.How do you not come out ready for blood after Pasta getting punched in the head while on the ice..

Monitor put up 70+ points last year and has outplayed Yourboy both PO series, open your eyes.

He has outplayed him but I don't like him.

Montour put up 70+ points last year and has outplayed Yourboy both PO series, open your eyes.

MCAvoy has been a hot mess two playoffs in a row ,this excuse people come up with oh but he plays a lot of minutes and he gets hit a lot ,no shit it’s the playoffs what did they expect.lol

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

I’ll all for Maroon sticking around past this year as a 13th forward.

No thanks, the cameo appearance was plenty, time to move on.

 

[22Brad Park]

Me personally he says then laughs .This guy blew it not having Pastas back.The opportunity to send message was there and he turned other cheek not having it dealt with .Bruce had of allowed that this place would have crucified him.Ran him out and he wins Cup lol

 

[JCRO]

Genius moves by Monty having pasta fighting and a 35 year marchad trying to make hits on Sam Bennet who is a truck

What???? LOL

You prefer the leaders of the team to not fight or lay hits and just lay down and die like the leafs stars?

Please stop. We’re all frustrated but come on now.

I hate Montour also

I think the NHL getting involved telling both teams to tone it down is part of the reason why they didn't come out swinging. We can blame Monty, but ultimately it's on the players. They are the ones that weren't inspired by Pastrnak, and honestly, it's a shame.

Looking at the replay of Marchand getting hit sure looked like a punch to the head ,I’m sure the Bruins players on the bench would have gotten a good look at it ,didn’t see any anger coming from the bench,christ they didn’t even stand up to see if Brad was ok when he went down.Just didn’t seem to interest them in the least.

Put Montour with this p***y line up and see how he does. Montour is a scrub that's benefited playing on a team full of ass holes.

My boy is is 100 times the player, Im sure you though Kevan Miller was a great d man as well,

Go root for Florida you like him so much

 

[DKH]

I know a lot of Ranger fans at work, who always liked Florida because they have houses down there. That is about to change next series lol.

Exactly- they are rabid fans

Team looks like a monster

Panthers are doing an excellent job at preventing speed thru the neutral zone, like to a man. I think it's a 1-1-3, which is a bit unique for today's game and what Toronto did the last 3 games to slow down the Bruins transition game. The F1 is more cursory while the F2 is the one that steps up hard on the Bruins forward who's looking for the 1st pass to start transition while the back 3 clog the NZ. I'm not familiar with the Panthers defensive strategies so I don't know if this is normal for them but I wonder if they saw what Toronto was doing well against the Bruins and copied it.

Pasta is a side show, What was that fight in a blowout going to accomplish?

Pasta gets paid to score goals let start with his doing that first during a games rather than get his ass kicked for no reason.

The fact he asked the coach for permission to show emotion is all we need to see about this entire team from the coach on down.

Staged rage is a farse

 

[DKH]

As of today my feeling is Monty gone

They definitely changed the game plan after the first period of game 2 ,and they got away from it late in the third last night.

 

[DKH]

I'm 64 and still work 3 12hr shifts/weekend. I'm always tired and its TERRIBLE....

Fair enough but if he saved my job series before I tell my players to deal with it regardless.Funny thing is it never stopped Florida from being dirty.

He has outplayed him but I don't like him.

Explain the outplayed part to me please, I'm still trying to figure this out? because he tripped Brad to score a shorty? or was it his slap shot goal?

Again put my boy on Florida ,he would look like Bobby Orr again this Bruins forecheck

The fact Im defending McAvoy vs Montour is an all-time greatest hits on HF Boards.

Christ, Carlo would look like a NHL defenseman playing against this Bruin line up

As of today my feeling is Monty gone

you are usually wrong but this time a hope you are correct

It’s PoMo all he knows is playing trap hockey, especially with how desperate that putz is for a cup.

 

[nORRis8]

The League is a sham.Watched 2nd game and McDavid splits Hughes with high stick and Kane slewfoots him and crickets.Then look at Bruins games at the calls and non calls .That Lauko call was a farce and Bennett delivers blatant sucker punch no call.

Great sport. No doubt about that.

And I'm not saying this cuz we're down in the series....It is the "Stupidest League" going right now, I truly believe it.

I find it strange how we came storming out of the gates v Leafs with a surprisingly strong PP.
But as the series went we seemed to get less and less calls.

Last night, Panthers 6 PP, Bruins 2.

The McDavid obvious highstick...no discussion. Zero.
A puck flipped over the glass....OOOOOH NOOOOOOO, CALL THE AUTHORITIES!!!!!

Sidenote...likely will see Ullmark although Swayman is totally not the issue.

Isn’t being desperate for a cup a good thing?

 

[ODAAT]

so frustrated , hell no, pissed off at this team

does anyone hate losing on this team? If so, they don`t play like it. Outhustled, losing almost every battle, stupid decisions with the puck and now Marchand hurt?

 

[JerseyBruin]

You dump it in if you can’t skate it in. Very simple but they refuse to do that. Take what they give you. Florida does it. Take a page from their book and dump it in, hit their D.

Problem is Bruins dump it in and send a 1 man forecheck that's not doing anything other than having one forward caught up ice. If they want to pressure Fla they need to commit more bodies to the effort.

 

[frankiess]

Dude the lineup is riddled with holes. How much denial are you in? They’ve gone way past where they should have on paper.

There were still posters saying the Bruins were “the more talented team” against Toronto. Lol. What are you people smoking?

It’s not a built in excuse. It’s reality free to to observe by anyone.

I didn’t say it was a throwaway year “because they went for it last year”. They had no cap space to work with. It’s a far weaker lineup this season. Tell me where I’m wrong on that. I’ll wait.

Your mindset is entitled. You want them to win. You hate them for letting you down last season. How dare they? So who cares about the lineup this season? They’re assholes if they don’t win the cup. Just so much self-inflicted misery.

''the lineup is riddled with holes.''
If this lineup plays the scheme that the coach lays out, ''this is your responsibility, this is your responsibility'', and execute, then good goaltending can do the rest..a la Roy and others. Defense first. imo, the problem is that they don't execute. I don't know if that's a talent issue? Or coaching? The talented guys, McAvoy, Lindholm, Zacha, are the guys who are messing up ''failed to clear''. As for entitlement, I don't want some of the money, I don't want most of the money, I want all the money. The question for me is, is the team moving toward the Cup? What do you think?
