Post-Game Talk: GAME 63 - THE BEAR is dancin' and prancin' in Maple Leaf Square - BRUINS 4 Hogtown 1

[22Brad Park]

No ego - unbelievable kind person

One of best passing wingers I’ve seen

I am fortunate enough to have him on my team I root for

He will go down when it's all said & done as one of the best draft steals ever at pick 25.Just shows how hard it can be to spot it early on.He beefed up alot compared to those early days.

Great backcheck by Matthews on Debrusks goal.
Lazy!
Looks like he skated over to Jake to kiss him.

Next to Carlin, Bill was my favorite.

I got to see Carlin at the Beacon theater in NYC in 1997.

I was 21 years old, it is one of my fondest memories.

Problem is Vatrano has or recently had less points than Frederic 5x5 and is a power play whore- you aren’t sitting 63

Pass on Frank

He’s got 17 points in his last 15 games.

I was thinking more along the lines of

Marchand - Coyle - JDB ( if he’s still here )
Vatrano - Zacha - Pasta

I just like the idea if two shoot first guys on that line.

 

[bobbyorr04]

would have been better with Steve's face but ok lol

Pasta's English is so improved. What a leader he is. Love how he is often interviewed and speaks for the team

I love how he came out ready to go after talking a little smack towards them at the all star activities. NHL network crew were saying I’m sure the leafs remember what Pasta was dishing out. Well little do they know. Pasta owns the Leafs !!

Brazeau has changed the whole complexion of the 4th line with his puck protection and reach. A lot more effective on the forecheck.

I'd like to see them leave JVR - Geekie - Frederic together for a bit. I think that is the best 3rd line combo they've had this year.

For the love of God Monty can you please keep these lines together for a bit!!

I got to see Carlin at the Beacon theater in NYC in 1997.

I was 21 years old, it is one of my fondest memories.

In one of Hicks' live performances he asked the audience how many of them smoked. He then asked a guy in the front row how many cigarettes he smoked a day. When the guy answered that he smoked 10, Bill responded "that's how many lighters I go thru a day."

 

[PB37]

- Pasta's wildman style of offense is perfect against a team that doesn't understand how to protect passing lanes or have much interest in keeping coverage like Toronto.

- 50 hits for the team

- Brazeau might not demolish dudes on the forecheck but he's willing and effective at erasing plays along tbe board and getting the puck. You can tell just how much stronger he was against the Toronto D tonight.

- Carlo had a rough night clearing the puck tonight. Too many easy 'rim the puck around' and right to the stick of the Toronto D from him.

Safe to say the boys aren’t real big fans of the Linus isn’t on the bench shit tonight. Lauko just responded to the Bruins tweet with the Homer Simpson coming in, grabbing his hat and walking back out gif.

Beat writers should know that backup goalies don’t sit on the bench in Toronto and not make up shit for clicks. It’s embarrassing.

I was sitting at Buff's ready for the Sway/Linus smelling salt/glove tap routine, and I forgot that Hogtown has Montreal-like goalie accommodations.

 

[bob77]

The Bruins D had 8 giveaways tonight, with each having at least one. Of course, the same scorekeeper had the Laughs D with zero giveaways.

Boston Herald gives the Leafs another goal

 

[dugg133]

I think it goes to show how truly special of a player Pasta has become that he can have the night he did and it's not even really a story. Walk into Toronto and have 3 primary helpers on under 30% ozone starts at 5v5, just another day at the office. We're very lucky to get to watch him every night.

 

[sarge88]

Maybe my memory is lousy, but it seems like year in, year out Toronto is among the healthiest teams in the league.

Sure did

[Carl Hungus]

That 3rd period was very satisfying. THAT's how you close out a game

 

[easton117]

I don’t want to assume the Bruins read this board. But someone clearly snapped the Enya warmup CD in half.

 

[22Brad Park]

Was reading Leafs 6th consecutive loss to Bruins and their pp 0-14 .Not sure if that perfect pk impresses me most or only 14 penalties in those 6 games

Lots of noisy Bruins fans in that clip.

Nah, they played Boadicea in the locker room and it got them pumped up.




A legit jam.
