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

[PoisonEye]

I can't help thinking that if this goes FLA in 7, that means it should have been Bruins in 6 but for league shenanigans.

Ballsy game Mac.

It’s what happens when you train Excel to watch a hockey game and then spit out data

Yeah xGF is such a deep nerd stat smh

I think Monty might have saved his job.

Really good effort. Pasta was excellent and I thought Geekie played his best game of the year. Swayman saved the game in the end. But it was an excellent team effort all around.

Late in the third I kept thinking "damn, not scoring on those short handed breakaways might come back to haunt us" but it didn't. They held on for a change.

The hockey gods have decreed that "too many men" is just a Boston thing that will be with us forever apparently.

I came to a realization tonight… I’m not too young to need a cardiologist, anymore

Hopefully no more yips now that they see what a simple north south game does.

It's what happens when the refs do their f***ing job.

Maroon at 90%? What statistic is this?

It's what happens when the refs do their f***ing job.

They still did not but a slight bit better.

 

[Rydan]

Hope they send in clips of all the dives to the NHL... dont think i have ever seen so many blatant dives in one game.

 

[Terrier]

Very hairy at the end there, but I'm delighted they got off to a good start on the road, and hopefully the two-day break will do some good, especially in Brad's case.

And congrats to the Boston ladies!

1 down, 2 to go

A clone of Montreal.

Florida has left the fake tough act and switched to literal Montreal for the PPs.

Understand the idea, but the goalie market is really bad right now. Elite goaltenders are only getting average skaters in return ... after guys like Matt Murray and Adin Hill have won Stanley Cups, the marginal benefit of spending a fortune for an elite goaltender over an average one seems somewhat small ... so teams aren't going to give up elite skaters for an elite goaltender.

It only takes one GM to overreact though.

I’d say there are going to be at least 4 teams who could convince themselves that Ullmark could be the difference between a long playoff run or and early exit or DNQ.

When Chucky gave Bennett a taste of his butt end, I knew the Bruins would kill it. That was satisfying all around.

Lol, Bennett flopped hard, went down fast.

 

[NDiesel]

NHL seemed to “fix” the Bennett GI with the Heinen non call.

As a fan I’ll take it but it just speaks to the overall issue with how the league runs things imo.

Doubt the bruins can win 2 more games playing the same way but at least we are guaranteed 1 more game to watch

Totally agree, it's bullshit game management by the league, would prefer they get both right instead of f*** up one and then have to have a make up call for the other

Edmonton would be great but Ullmark probably says no and it’s not gonna get you anyone meaningful there.

 

[Secord]

Credit to monty for calling out the diving. Thats something atleast.

Huge game obviously, they still need to finish though, came pretty close to biting them in the ass a few times.

Maybe next games the refs will have those monty clips in mind

Obvious that diving has been brought up behind closed doors it was Lundell who did a 180 and fell like shot after being lightly poked by Pasta game 4 they caught him doing it game 5 vs Coyle and Monty was simply reiterating that he's not the only one doing it

True.

Detroit or NJ maybe, although I’d rather he go west.

LA?

Somethin's Bruin!

Beers on the radio broadcast made a point about the Bruins meeting with the Referee Supervisor and letting them know about the diving especially from Lundell. Beers also said the Kitties met with the Supervisor too, but didn't have any details, don't care either.

If not for this guy we would have been out weeks ago.

You speak the truth.

That was best game I saw Charlie McAvoy play in a long time.I dunno what he did to get ready but keep doing it
