Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 5 - YOU BET WE'RE ALIVE!!!!!! Game 6 FRIDAY 7 PM at TD Garden

[goldenblack]

I am more worried about winning Game 6 at HOME than a Game 7 in Sunrise.

Game 7 on the road is house money on top of house money.

We were never supposed to make the playoffs

We were never supposed to win a round

We were never supposed to come back down 3-1


So yeah come game 7, I love that spot for Boston. Game 6 is the savage one

Yup, figured. I say he's IN

ok so Fluto posted the lines from an hour ago

Debrusk-Geekie-Pasta
Marchy - Coyle - Freddy
Heinen - Zacha - Brazeau
Lauko - Beecher - Maroon

Hampus-Charlie
Lohrei-Carlo
Spoon-Peeke


So we were right, he's sitting JVR. Not surprised where he slotted Brad.

I like it! Almost the lines from last game. Tiny swaps at LW on two lines.

 

[Absurdity]

It would be great to have Marchand back in the lineup tomorrow.

 

[Bradely]

I simply love the guy. Nothing more to say!! Go Brad!

 

[goldenblack]

Practice PP lines:

PP1: Charlie, Pasta, Marchy, Coyle, Jake

PP2: Lohrei, Geekie, Zacha, ? , Brazeau

In practice JVR was at the ? spot. So now I wonder if it's not Lauko sitting...
That's usually the tip off

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

I'd post Brazeau up in front of the net for sure on pp2.

 

[goldenblack]

Btw put me in the camp that likes Marchand and Pasta on the same PP group. Eventually that's gonna click again.

Roll em out let’s get this dub!

 

[22Brad Park]

Jake and Hampus at Celts game last night having fun

 

[22Brad Park]

That's fine with hard check etc but not sucker punches.

But the league punished him.This is bullshit Bennett was not suspended .Total incompetence by Parros & DOPS and if it's not that then it's corruption.One or the other.I get Brad is taking high road here but fact remains that what happened was not handled properly

 

[Bread and Circuses]

The problem with the Bennet hit and not suspending him is Marchand played for awhile after and took another hit to the head when he initiated on someone else (similar to initiating on Bennet)

It forced them to look at the punch as roughing and nothing more


I hateDoPs but you’ve gotta look at these things from 10000 feet sometimes

Marchand is one of the most competitive players I’ve ever seen play, and I do think the majority of NHL players that take that Bennett hit stay down, which Marchand isn’t wired to do, and as much as I respect that I do think if he stayed on the ice there and ultimately did not return to the game we would have seen Bennet suspended for the hit.

Warrior. Big boy hockey. Not for the faint of heart.

“He plays hard,” Marchand said. “He’s an extremely physical player, great player for the group. I think he got away with a shot. But I’m not going to complain. S— happens. That’s part of especially playoff hockey. I’ve been on the other side of a lot of plays. I think he got away with one. But that’s part of the game and definitely part of playoff hockey.

“It sucks to be on the other side of it. But that stuff happens. So I’m not going to sit here and complain about it. That’s part of the game. Yeah, I think he got away with one. But it is what it is.”

Marchand has a history of postseason aggression. He made his mark in 2011 by treating Daniel Sedin like a punching bag during the Stanley Cup Final. So Marchand is not one to whine about being on the other end of playoff belligerence.

“People don’t want to say it. But part of the playoffs is trying to hurt every player on the other team,” Marchand said. “The more guys you take out, the more advantage your team has. People don’t say that. But that’s just a fact of the game. So every time you step on the ice, someone’s trying to hurt someone. That’s just how it goes in the playoffs.

“Any time you can get an advantage on a team, it’s going to help your team win. That’s part of the benefit of having a physical group. That’s why you see teams go the distance with a big D corps and physical teams. It’s why you rarely see teams that are small and skilled go far, because they get hurt.”

If Heinen was on his game I would swap him and Fredric.

swap freddy and brazeau

 

[goldenblack]

swap freddy and brazeau

At the same time I'm kind of jazzed by the matchups that Zacha-Brazeau can get. Interesting spot. WIth Zacha struggling it's nice to maybe find him softer spots.

 

[Patdud]

People miss the difference between "Hurt" and "Injure"

 

[Mione134]

He's playing.

And he's gonna be pissed. Mad Brad baby. He's gonna will us to win. Let's go.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Precisely

Bennet is a piece of shit but this streak of allowing injured players to play to the detriment of the team (Ullmark and bergeron) is a concerning trend with Monty

Yeah, I remember more than a few fans on here were wanting Swayman to replace Ullmark after game 5 (because he looked like he was injured and slow to get up). And I thought there was no sense putting an injured Bergy and Krejci back in the lineup after the Bruins played great in Florida in games 3 and 4 without them

I know Monty likes to tinker with the lineups, but it made no sense to leave Ullmark in net if they knew he was hurt

 

[bobbyorr04]

I felt like shit for an entire week.

I considered selling tomorrows seat...BUT...feel a bit better today.

So if things continue to improve I will be there tomorrow with @GahdenRinkRat .

GO Bs.

Is Brad playing for sure? If he isn't OK I hope not.

Hope you're feeling better for tomorrow's game

If it's up to Brad he will play....and a pissed off Brad is usually a dangerous Brad

He is one of the toughest NHL players (lb for lb) I have ever had the pleasure of watching

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

I think Florida will be much better tomorrow then they were in game 5. They didn’t seem ready to go for the kill last game. Similar to how they were better in game 2. Credit the to the Bruins for sure for an excellent grind it out road win. Marchand in the lineup would be a huge boost tomorrow night. I just hope win or lose they come out with a strong effort at home unlike what we’ve seen at times this post season.

Man would it be sweet to push this to 7! As many have said we are playing with house money so I won’t be flipped out if they lose. Plenty to be proud of this year and plenty of hope for the future.

I’ll say 4-3 Bruins in OT. Heinen gets the winner

Let’s go Bruins!!!!!
