Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 6 - HIBERNATION BEGINS - Florida wins series 4-2

[Mione134]

The call on Coyle changed the corse of this series.

And the suckerpunch on Marchand.

 

[GordonHowe]

No, Marner is not a guy I want in the playoffs. If they move Pasta it has to be an upgrade, Marner isn't to me

They are not moving their most pink hat popular player, their single legit superstar.

Not happening the same way trading Charlie or Brad isn't happening.

 

[The don godfather]

Why’d the game “get away from them” don? What, is there some force of nature that caused it? How about you don’t *let* the game get away from you?

For me pasta missed breakaway was the killer. I knew it right there . Hes paid to finish. He has a 50 50 playoffs. Not good enough. Love him though .

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

When can they announce the Swayman and Debrusk extensions?

 

[GordonHowe]

He needs to get stronger.

Absolutely.

 

[BradPark22]

When can they announce the Swayman and Debrusk extensions?

Pass on Debrusk

 

[The don godfather]

Coyle should have taken over but didnt. That was also a factor .

 

[sarge88]

I don’t necessarily disagree that we can do without him. He did more than others IMO this playoffs. At least he hustled. Yes, we have too many JAGs, including Patrick Brown, who is under contract for one more year.

My point is that our problems lie much more in our top 6 than our bottom 6. I have very little faith Sweeney can remedy that.

oh, I agree entirely that they need to add to the top 6.

I just don’t see how Heinen is back, as none of Heinen, Geekie or Frederic are 2nd liners on a contender.

In a perfect world, if they truly upgrade the top 6, the third line should be..

Frederic Coyle Geekie

Heinen can’t be on the 2nd line again.

And the 4th line is going to have cheaper options, younger guys and/or a Maroon/Looch type.

Don’t see why he’d be back….

If they’re truly committed to upgrading, that is.

[RiverbottomChuck]

Pass on Debrusk

For the right price what he brings won’t be beat

 

[The don godfather]

Pass on Debrusk

Hes a leaf killer absolutely torches them. Think about it.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Coyle should have taken over but didnt. That was also a factor .

Playing behind two great C’s taking the brunt of the matchup and heavy lifting would make Coyle or Zacha look like they should.

 

[bobbyorr04]

all and all. good season.
never thought theyd win game 5.
figured theyd lose tonight.
they just suck at home. its baffling

There hasn't been home ice advantage in Boston for a very long time

It's way beyond time to fix the ice surface

..and what's with all these crazy bounces off the boards and stanchions??

TD Garden needs a makeover ...if not just to get rid of all the bad playoff karma

 

[TD Charlie]

Coyle should have taken over but didnt. That was also a factor .

He was taken over. Dreadful 13 games

 

[The don godfather]

Last year was our year. Darn this Florida.

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

It’s the money.

Simple fix is stop playing that bon Jovi track.

 

[bruinmann77]

Losing both years at home stinks. The bruins need to find scoring.

Much like NESN’s broadcast, it needs to be much better

Yep, start with that

..then fix the ice

 

[JoeIsAStud]

PLD and\or Necas would be thrown under the bus after 1 or 2 years here....

PLD would be thrown under the bus by Thanksgiving

 

[The don godfather]

Will miss linus. Good man.

 

[mar2kbos]

Hes a leaf killer absolutely torches them. Think about it.

Just wouldn’t get in a price war with him. If he wants to play here on a decent contract fine. He wants to max what he can get then see ya

 

[JOKER 192]

I think the boys should hold their heads up high. Everyone of them, yes, some more than others but generally they over achieved .

Not a Sweeney fan but I thought he did really well piecing a team together with limited resources after going all in last year.

Monty is Monty , great regular season coach, deer in the headlights in the PO'S. That's who he is. At some point those too many men penalties fall back on his lap. That was a ridiculous amount of too many men penalties, period.

A 1C , especially a power forward type would go a long way in slotting players where they should be in the lineup.

If they could sign a 2C as well , we have a contender.

Gonna be sad to see Ullmark go but it seems inevitable at this point.

Don't really have a big issue with JDB but I think that money would be better spent filling in the needs at center. Good luck to him if that's the way it works out.

The D core looks solid to me when everyone is healthy. Mac didn't have a great PO'S but that has a lot to do with the shortages at forward positions , specifically at C.

Gonna need some more truculence on this team if they're gonna compete in the PO'S .

Finally, the Bruins were outmatched in this series, sad that the refs were so bad that they erased what little chance the Bruins had. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I live another 100 years I will never understand why the rules change when PO time comes around . It's the dumbest shit in sports and it really takes a lot away from the game. The refs have no idea how to call a game when the parameters change, it looks ridiculous because it is.

Yep 3 to 1 series lead to 2 to 2 are huge factors. That coyle incident was a debacle.

Just wouldn’t get in a price war with him. If he wants to play here on a decent contract fine. He wants to max what he can get then see ya

Love him on the third line at 4 million aav torching the leafs. That's depth. Hopefully he stays.

 

[FU Shoresy]

Brad, we’re looking to take a step back and retool. How would you like a shot at a cup elsewhere if we can swing it to the long term benefit of the team?

And get rid of the 1 player that plays with any real emotion? That would be a hard NO! He's more than earned the right to retire wearing the Black n Gold!
