    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    This is really it. No matter what happens this team is overachieving. After a day of calming down, I’m realizing that my angst is just residual anger because of how last year ended. This group doesn’t deserve that. So I’m going to refrain from wasting bandwidth in here until the playoffs are...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    NHL playoff tickets are very high in almost every market. And there are plenty of Bruins season ticket holders that are huge fans that go to more playoff games than regular season games. I honestly think the home problems stem from the shitty ice surface. They practice at Warrior where the ice...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    I’m not trying to set up an “I told you so” either. I just don’t know how, after repeatedly getting kicked in the nuts, to not prepare to get kicked in the nuts.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    They also lost against teams that they were better than in 2019 and 2021. They blew a 3-1 lead to Toronto in 2013 & 2018. Yeah they won those coin flips, but those shouldn’t have been coin flips in the first place. Now what I want more than anything is to be completely wrong, have them kick...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    No I think they collectively shit down their legs in big games. As an organization. It’s been happening for a long time.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    This is pretty much where I’m at. I expect them to blow it. I feel like I watch the same movie every year with this team. I can’t expect anything different this time. I’m sure at the end we’ll hear about injuries, or the flu, the refs, or whenever excuse but it’s the same shit, they end up...

    They were also home underdogs in that series. I give that team credit for pushing Carolina to 7. They almost got it to OT as well IIRC.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    Those teams do have much better players. But your overall point about choking in close out games is evident. It’s an organizational problem and has been for years. They’re much better off being underdogs on the road then they are favorites at home, and it’s something that I’m sure that they’re...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    Yes I think that is what they were looking for in Maroon. Along with his forechecking ability when 100%.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    I think it’s the mentality of players that they like to acquire. Good guys that really care about winning, good in the community etc. Great guys to have in your organization representing the city. Problem is guys like that tend to tighten up in big games. They could use a couple of dick heads...

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

    This is now the second playoff series he’s fucking up. If this goes south, he shouldn’t get a third. In fact no matter what happens in these next two games, they should rethink Jim Montgomery.

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

    Not really sure what the fuck Montgomery was thinking with this one. That’s absolutely fireable.

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

    That’s pretty much it. They get really tight at home. That’s why a guy like Mark Recchi was so valuable to that 2011 team. Veteran voice that would tell the guys “fuck these guys were winning this” instead of the guys on the bench thinking “we’re fucked” as soon as a puck bounces and the crowd...

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

    Except for that cup and three finals appearances in 8 years before this recent spell. Look do they choke a lot in the playoffs historically? Absolutely. Do they have a flawed roster? Yes we knew that going into the season, many of us picked them to miss the playoffs this season. Is the coach...

    It should be Swayman’s net as long as he’s 100% healthy for the rest of the series.
