Hopefully Dallas can finish the job in game 6. I'm rooting for them to go far this year.

[Jon]

Hmm, maybe not tore, I don't see enough for that, but a hyperextension is certainly possible.

Sucks...

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT!

 

[Advocate for Ants! Mouth]

Oof. Knee ligaments suck.

 

[MC74]

No Ryan Reaves!

 

[Advocate for Ants! Mouth]

Well if this game continues like this I'm looking forward to being super stressed out in game 7.

 

[MC74]

I expected the Bruins to come out battling knowing what happened last year. They're playing the same as they did during the start of the last one.

 

[MC74]

Bruins managed to come out of that period unscathed. Not liking their chances if they keep this up.

 

[Jon]

I don't actually think the Bruins played poorly that period. They had some chances, but EVERYTHING was blocked. So it made it misleading. They weren't good, but it wasn't as one sided as game 5's first period.

They need to stop being so pretty. They gain the line, there is no one in front of the net and they try to make another pass or hold it too long before shooting. For the most part, the strat is simple. Gain the line, crash the net, and put bodies in front of the goalie. You're not getting the pretty one timers in the playoffs, so start just SHOOTING... it's aggravating watching them gain the line and the defense play tic tac toe. JUST SHOOT. lol

The blocked shots is exactly what happened to the Leafs early on in the series. Lots of shot chances, but the Bruins blocked a ton.

 

[MC74]

1/20 on the PP. We can't even score on a double minor, let alone a 2 minute penalty.

 

[Advocate for Ants! Mouth]

Well minus that double minor this period has been much better so far

 

[MC74]

No Jon Bovi, this is not the way!

 

[Jon]

No Jon Bovi, this is not the way!

That's because Bon Jovi is a fan of the Patriots.

 

[MC74]

That's because Bon Jovi is a fan of the Patriots.

Which is why I couldn't help myself.

 

[MC74]

Willy finally scores! Let's get another couple of goals and force this bitch to 7!

 

[Jon]

Willy finally scores! Let's get another couple of goals and force this bitch to 7!

Think you already got it. B’s don’t have it.

 

[Jon]

Unlucky break for that goal but just no real good shots on goal. So I don’t have a lot of faith. I am sensing another 3-1 blown series lead. Which in my opinion should cost Montgomery his job. Unacceptable to not be able to close out series this consistently.

 

[Rick52]

sad thing is whichever team fails to outchoke the other is just gonna get annihilated by Florida again

 

[MC74]

That was too close for comfort.

 

[Advocate for Ants! Mouth]

Don't worry, it won't happen.

 

[Jon]

That was too close for comfort.

Lol, only Coyle's shot was even a shot. The Bruins KEEP trying to carry to the middle even though the Leafs are collapsing there and not allowing entry. The Bruins deserve to lose this game. Absolutely NO adjustments.

 

[MC74]

OMG, we got a game 7!

 

[Jon]

Should never be a game 7 when your goalie has a 1.3 GAA. What a disgrace for Swayman.

 

[MC74]

Should never be a game 7 when your goalie has a 1.3 GAA. What a disgrace for Swayman.

Shades of Tuukka Rask carrying the team on his back.

 

[Crystal]

Should never be a game 7 when your goalie has a 1.3 GAA. What a disgrace for Swayman.

2007 Marty Turco says hello. 7 games 3 shutouts, 1.3GAA and lost to the Canucks.

 

[MC74]

Matthews is going to be a game time decision, but now we've got some bad news. Woll might be out for tonight's game.

 

[Crystal]

Oh no .

Well, here's hoping Samsonov has the game of his life!

 

[Jon]

These mysterious injuries are something else.

 

[Jon]

Oh no .

Well, here's hoping Samsonov has the game of his life!

Or not, I would prefer he not.

 

[MC74]

Oh no .

Well, here's hoping Samsonov has the game of his life!

He makes me scared. You never know what you're getting with this guy.

 

[Jon]

I personally hope Brazeau and Lohri are not in the lineup tonight. Every time they are on the ice, they do something stupid. Lohri led directly to the game 5 loss and one of the game 6 goals. he's a liability.

 

[Crystal]

Or not, I would prefer he not.

I have to lean Leafs-ways, the B's have had success, they've got Monty (we miss you, Monty ), the Leafs need their turn now.

He makes me scared. You never know what you're getting with this guy.

Yeah, he's very inconsistent.

Yeah, he's very inconsistent.

Or not. I don't think they do.

That said, if he blows a 3-1 series lead two years in a row, I fire Monty. He's not worth it if he can't keep his team motivated.

 

[Crystal]

Oh by all means, fire him. We'll have him back in Dallas anytime

 

[Jon]

He's all yours in my opinion lol

 

[Crystal]

He's all yours in my opinion lol

 

[MC74]

Bones in Boston?

 

[Crystal]

Bones in Boston?

That would be hilarious, lol.

 

[MC74]

That would be hilarious, lol.

Boneston Bruins.

 

[Crystal]

Boneston Bruins.

 

[MC74]

Lol.

 

[MC74]

Matthews looks to be back. He's listed on the 3rd line when when HNIC showed tonight's projected lineup.

 

[Advocate for Ants! Mouth]

Well the Bs aren't messing around to start this game.

 

[Jon]

First goal in this one is going to be huge.

 

[Crystal]

Fun first period so far.

 

[MC74]

Fun first period so far.

Exactly what you'd expect from a game 7.

And damnit, robbed by Swayman again....

 

[Jon]

Exactly what you'd expect from a game 7.

And damnit, robbed by Swayman again....

Lol, Knies got away with a clear as day hook on that

 

[Crystal]

He does that.

 

[MC74]

Lol, Knies got away with a clear as day hook on that

What are you talking about? That was fair game, Monsoon!
