So much parity in the NHL. Bs gave good effort. Problem is they weren't as focused and sharp as the previous games in the season. Something wasn't right. Being a little off happens from time to time. Toronto played as hard as I've seen them play this season. They were ultra motivated tonight. Still only eked out the win. Cannot wait to play them with Forbort and Charlie back.

Blues have been gosh awful so far. One of the worst teams in hockey. We shall see how the Bs respond against them. Season has been stellar so far, and still remains stellar even with this close loss. Bs will bounce back.

No McAvoy.
No Forbort.

Reilly-Zboril.


No concerns.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Can't win them all. Considering we were scoring at the insane pace we were, we were due for a offensively stifled game especially against a team that had a ton to prove. Sucks to lose to Toronto, but it is what it is. On to those stupid Blues.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Poor game by Debrusk, Bergeron and Greer.

Only guy that was a standout was Coyle but the team defense was good, they barely gave up anything. Just could finish chances or find one of the many juicy rebounds.

 

[The don godfather]

Didnt have puck luck as the great king henrik once said. This happens. We played well I'm not worried.

 

[CrownofThornton]

Said it in the gdt thread… super frustrating loss.

Leafs gave Bruins no room to establish any sort of offensive play. Fantastic sticks, skating and speed.

 

[RoccoF14]

Leafs played well tonight. Shit happens. Overall, it was an entertaining game with lots of non-stop action. Only complaint I have is that the wrong team won.

 

[Sheppy]

Just an ugly last 48 hours.

 

[The don godfather]

Just play zboril out of his mind now let him grow kids got talent this benching and starting him 3 games later is hurting his development and kids already 25 now. I want him full time. Kids gonna be solid.

 

[Bradely]

Up to the next one. Lost by one while no being sharp. Ullboy is really good. Like him alot.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Just didnt seem to have it tonight...
10-2 still pretty damn good, considering their top player is out.

 

[bobbyorr04]

I blame Canada! ..and a shitty PP

B's are 0-2 in Canada this season

 

[Bruinaura]

Somehow I knew it would be the Leafs we'd lose to.

Blech.

There is just nothing likeable about that team whatsoever.

 

[Trizz617]

Its still all good. There will be games like this. Couldve gone either way honestly. All I ask is that they put out good effort and they did for the most part tonight. Onwards....

 

[22Brad Park]

I think Leafs played a smarter game tonite & outworked Bruins.
That non call on Pastrnak bothers me after the DeBrusk penalty .I mean Pasta was in alone no hook.
Ullmark solid again..
Carlo is a mannequin
Montgomery needs adjustments on powerplay Leafs looked at tapes they could not adjust .

 

[The don godfather]

The blues will be singing the blues on monday. Book that one guys. I said it 2 days before which I rarely do. Cant wait hurry monday.

 

[The Un4casted Storm]

Team didn't look too engaged tonight and, frankly, I don't blame them. Shame on Sweeney, Neely and Jacobs for lobbing that grenade into the players' laps right before heading into the media circus that is Toronto. Tonight's loss is on them.

 

[sarge88]

Frustrating because the 2 GA were very preventable.

In the end, it’s really nice knowing that C Mac is waiting in the wings.

Back on track Monday.

I didnt see them psychologically messed they played well to crush them the puck just didnt go in that's all. 2 to 1 wasn't a team in disarray.

 

[The National]

The boys are rolling thru the league no problems, management signs Miller, the room doesn’t like and has a similar reaction to most of us, then is forced to answer for their decision for the past 48 hours. When it’s time to play hockey again they come out pretty flat and get out worked by the Leafs. Maybe just a coincidence but seems like maybe the room had something else on their minds heading into the game, they are human.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

No McAvoy.
No Forbort.

Reilly-Zboril.


No concerns.

You realize Carlo was directly involved in both goals ? He's a black hole

 

[Mione134]

Just didn't have it tonight. Its okay folks.
10-2. Deep breaths!

 

[quietbruinfan]

Looked like a lethargic effort to me, but then I was in the bathroom much of the night. 21 shots are not nearly enough against an average defensive team. ...

Please stop this crap the Bruins players are professionals and most are veterans they have seen everything
