Post-Game Talk: GAME 72 - 2022-2023 ATLANTIC DIVISION CHAMPS - DON'T POKE THE BEAR

Maroon has fought Reaves too, Lucic etc.. but if you go back and watch his fights you see a trend.. he doesn’t like to stand toe to toe and trade punches. His strategy is to grab the jersey, turn his head away from his opponent & throw left handed jersey jabs. And the Chara fight you referenced wasn’t exactly a fight. Chara landed a couple of heavy punches and Maroon turned away/ tapped out causing Chara give him mercy. I do give him credit for actually dropping gloves with some heavyweights to begin with. He’s not a complete weasel like a Steve Ott.

I didn’t reference one fight. Chara and maroon have fought 5 times. Whether maroon won or lost the fight wasn’t my point at all. As you said, he gets credit for doing it.

I ask again, is it okay if they’re both talented & tougher? Like…say… in 2011?

It’s fine if you’re both. You can reference 2011 all day. We’ve nearly always been tougher than the team that eliminated us.

Remember when we tougher than the Habs? Yeah, they always beat us. Gimme talent that works at it 24x7

Montreal was tough too. They took everything that the Bruins threw at them. The difference was Dryden. imo.

Goaltending can be the equalizer
