    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    If the B's played games 1-3 without Marchand and games 4&5 without Pasta, as much as Pasta is to blame for game 5 but I digress, I'd feel a lot better about their chances even if they were down 3-2 going into game 6 if both players were returning healthy headed back to Boston. TOR played the...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    B's also had a chance to close out the division title at home vs. freaking OTT and came out equally as flat as they did yesterday. They were outshot 11-3 in the first period of that game. I'd buy they were tanking intentionally but they ended up outshooting OTT 35-20 including 23-2 in the third...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    TOR has been without their 2nd leading scorer 1st 3 games and leading scorer last 2. They missed 1 combined game the regular season. B's were as healthy as they could be this series. They are not close to even given those circumstances.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    So far this series is playing out almost exactly like FL last year. Comfortable home win, bad home loss, two big road wins. Difference in that B's actually showed up in game 5 last year they just ran into Bob who stood on his head but they outshot FL by a near 2-1 margin 47-25. Now they get to...

    Current State of the O Line

    I meant it more in the sense that he is getting worn down both physically and mentally. He also has multiple rings so has less to play for than most at this point in his career. He has remained effective as a player but much like Slater I'm just not sure how much more he wants to keep going...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    Boqvist is treated as a W for faceoffs. He took 143 in the reg season and lost 65%, Poitras by comparison lost 143 but did win 111. They also avoid Frederic for faceoffs as he only took 291 draws losing 55% compared to Beecher who won 273 in 30 less GP. Zacha had been a good LH C at 54%, same as...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    They had no LH faceoff man and TOR dominated faceoffs esp in the offensive end for TOR which lead to constant sustained pressure. JVR can't fucking skate anymore but he is playing over John Beecher? B's should have lost by 3-4 in regulation to a team missing their best player and NHL G scoring...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    Scratching Beecher, the only dependable LH faceoff man, in favor of Brazeau who hadn't played in weeks or JVR who can no longer skate and doesn't give you anything on the forecheck was such a bad decision. What kind of message are you sending to the team when they just come off a dominate effort...

    Current State of the O Line

    It won't surprise me to see Andrews retire before the season starts. He has been wearing down the last couple years and is on the last year of his contract with very little guaranteed $$. His dead cap hit is less than 2M so even if he doesn't hang them up I think he is less than 50% chance of...

    ECQF Game 5: 4/30/24 vs. Tarranna

    Sway is the only reason the game went to OT, that is the hottest of takes that he lost the game. Felger won't even go that far.

    ECQF Game 5: 4/30/24 vs. Tarranna

    JVR is basically the same as Maroon and Brazeau as well, can't win in playoffs with 3 guys that can't skate. 1 or 2 is fine but that is a ridiculous lack of speed out there. Beecher should have been in for JVR if they really wanted to get Brazeau in. Beecher has been one of the better players...

    ECQF Game 5: 4/30/24 vs. Tarranna

    What happens if they add a healthy Matthews in TOR? B's haven't faced a TOR team with healthy Nylander and Matthews yet this series. That will cause me to drink next game. .

    ECQF Game 5: 4/30/24 vs. Tarranna

    And B's got dominated in faceoffs. Monty coaching for his job these next two and deservedly so.

    ECQF Game 5: 4/30/24 vs. Tarranna

    Both even went to the same side of Sway, didn't look behind and weren't in position to defend properly. Like much of the game they were passengers.

    ECQF Game 5: 4/30/24 vs. Tarranna

    Monty should have never changed up the lines after they totally dominated in TOR. Something about fixing things that aren't broken.
