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

[Bruinswillwin77]

Didn't the Bruins outscore the Panthers in last years playoffs even though they lost? Maybe this year the Panthers outscore the Bruins overall yet then Bruins are the ones to come back and take the series, while scoring less goals

27-26 Bruins yes.

Take a lot of high shots on Bob next game

Just aim for the eyes. He is afraid to take one off the face…lol

If they do that, the refs will blow the whistle to make sure Bobo is Okay.

Yeah but the refs will stop the play if he gets hit in the mask ,or even when he doesn’t get hit in the mask.lol

Game 6 and (if fortune favors us) Game 7 would be an awfully good time for Pasta, Coyle and Zacha to finally come to life...

If those three started potting goals the B's would win the next two games for sure

I'm guessing Marchand got a concussion, and maybe out for the series.
If it was a concussion, he should be out for the series.

If it's up to Brad, we all know he's playing game 6

Well he continued to play the rest of the period when he got hit ,and it sure looked like he got his bell wrong and was out of it.

Let's get a replay of Bobrovsky making that save..

Remember this playoff game back in the 90s? Axelsson's OT goal got waved off because Tim Taylor's toe was in the crease. I was trying to find the video of it but failed.

It’s embedded in my brain .

Regardless what will happen next, this playoffs will be the playoffs Jeremy Swayman went into superman mode. Does anybody still want to keep Ullmark over him?

I love Ullmark and the tandem, but to address this team's needs, trading him is the most logical thing to do. Sway is a proven #1 now and has proven a playoff performer.

Although I know that I am in the minority, I hope Marchy doesn't try to play. First of all I am concerned for his health. Even if he is 100% I am afraid that the players who gave a great effort in game 5 will ease up a bit because the captain is there. I feel that was a factor last year when Bergy and Krejci were put in the line up when they replaced healthy players.

It will be up to the doctor and medical team

Sure seems hard to close out a 3-1 series in that game five. Anyone know the stats on that? How often does the team that's leading the series 3-1, win game 5?

From Wikipedia:

List of teams to overcome 3–1 series deficits​

NHL teams have overcome 3–1 deficits 32 times, the most recent instance being accomplished by the Florida Panthers during the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs.[24] The Rangers, the Vancouver Canucks, and the Montreal Canadiens are tied with the most successful 3–1 series comebacks in the NHL, with three. Four times a team comeback from 3–0 down and only one instance has occurred during the Stanley Cup Finals, accomplished in 1942 by the Toronto Maple Leafs, who initially trailed 3–0.[25]

So where do you slot Marchy if he's back. And who sits?

I'm tempted to put him where JVR is...

I put him w Zacha and Brazeau and sit JVR

 

[goldenblack]

Yeah 63 with Brazeau and Zacha sounds nice. Find him a mismatch in game

top 6 forward=Marchand.... has never been below 2nd line since he began his career here

 

[lextune]

I’m surprised…..they seem like such a pleasant fanbase….Not

Come on now, let's not judge an entire fan base of dozens of people!

 

[LouJersey]

top 6 forward=Marchand.... has never been below 2nd line since he began his career here

Except when he played 4th line his first 20 pro games in 09-10 and then to start the season in 10-11. But other than those 40 or so games never played under the 2nd line.

 

[lopey]

top 6 forward=Marchand.... has never been below 2nd line since he began his career here

His first year he was 4th liner

 

[Lobster57]

just replacing JVR with Marchand would probably make the most sense, but i woudn't hate a 63/18/43 line and a 11/13/55 line if you could guarantee me they throw their weight around

Tough call, Heinen did get an assist 2.5 weeks ago and JVR only has 5 points in 10 games.

JVR only averages .44 ppg in the playoffs to Heinen’s .27.

Pretty clear who to go with.

Getting pickey there Lope!
