GDT: ECSF: Game 5 - Florida Panthers vs Boston Bruins, 7pm ET, ESPN

[Felidae]

Absolutely awful performance By Florida. Bob and barkov only guys who showed up.

Reinhart too. Had the majority of our grade A chances I'm pretty sure.

 

[BB79]

Someone said earlier in the thread that this was meant to be, make the Bruins lose in front of their own crowd.

Makes no sense. I'd rather lose in front of my own crowd than an arena full of my opponents fans going nuts. Deprives them the opportunity to celebrate with their team

 

[BMOK33]

It would be odd if both eastern series went 7. All of a sudden the Stars would be insane cup favorites.

 

[CatscratchFever]

It ends Friday. Nice try Bs

Bad first period. Laying back caught up to the Cats

 

[Soul Assumption]

If Carolina and Boston make it to the conference finals, it will be epic

 

[Bruin]

It ends Friday. Nice try Bs

You better hope.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Panthers were selling everything tonight
Just bought a car off Lundell

 

[SanDogBrewin]

It ends Friday. Nice try Bs

Like it was supposed to end tonight ?

 

[sinDer]

Not concerned at all for the Pantners. But it su** they’ll have to play another game. They didn’t want it enough tonight.

Boston played good, but that’s probably the best they can play while the Panthers looked like they were at 75-80%.

 

[BMOK33]

If Carolina and Boston make it to the conference finals, it will be epic

I would think CAR wins that easily in 5. They'd have so much momentum at that point and Boston's style matches up so much better against them than NYR. I don't think BOS would win even 1 game off the Rangers

If Carolina and Boston make it to the conference finals, it will be epic

Heh, the team that wins will be dead tired in the cup finals though.

 

[Bradely]

It ends Friday. Nice try Bs

Cocky or nostradamus!!!!

 

[Bruin]

I have no idea why McAvoy was not called for blatant interference with 50 seconds left...that was a clear case of officials not wanting to get involved late

Because there was no blatant interference, Panthers get the majority of the PP’s and you’re still crying for more.

 

[TSBruins13]

We live to see another day. Bruins looked much better this game but to me it was more of Florida not playing well that resulted in the Bruins win. Was Tkachuk even out there tonight? Nonexistent

Can't really hit a guy once the puck is that far away

 

[Marco 85]

As long as Montour and Ekblad are dressed the Broons have a shot.
Can’t wait until they are both gone.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Heh, the team that wins will be dead tired in the cup finals though.

Bs played 3 seven game series in 2011 and won.

 

[Laus723]

Close out game and the coach has to yell at you to get going? Joke. Play like shit you’ll get shit results. Congrats guys. Was a close out game, not game 52.

 

[Hockeyholic]

In a weird way, I think Boston losing a close one tonight would have been better than losing game 6. And look better on Montgomery too.

Losing game 6 would be ten series losses on TD Garden ice in twenty years. 3-8 in the past 11 home games. That is Washington Capitals territory.

Hope they have a stinker in the tank.... But a 6 games or 7 games series ain't a walk in the park.

Like Florida didn’t get away with shit during the game, get over it.

Stats .... means no shit in this case. It is a one game. We will see who comes on top.

Montour is pretty good vs the Bruins. Ekblad, eh

 

[Clint Eastwood]

If I'm a betting man, I'm not taking the Bruins still but good to see that gutsy effort to stay alive. Always happy to have more Bruins hockey to look forward to.

I agree with what someone above said. Florida played 65-70%. If they bring it 100% (which they will) on Friday, Bruins will be relying on some bounces having to go their way. Hockey's a weird sport though so we'll see what happens.
