Carlo's snafu was the most innocent. he whiffed, and that happens. Mac was brain dead. Orlov had a bad night, as did Hampus. The D was bad. Friggin bad, and is a result of something we've seen a lot. They're simply trying to handle the puck waaay too much. You can get away with things in the regular season that bite hard in the playoffs. It was the better players that all got schooled, and they got schooled on an element of their game that's usually there. That's the point of concern. And they didn't handle losing well either, which often happens to teams that don't lose much. they got totally rattled when scored on early in third. Just a horrible nite for our guys. Sometimes putrid grabs players by the throat, when a normal loss doesn't. That was an embarrassment after being deadlocked for 2. Now the re-set. Just rewatched Carlo’s play. He had a skater open on the boards and instead passed it to two Panthers; also a brain dead play ( he wasn’t even pressured). I agree with your overall analysis but the Carlo play upon review was ugly, too.

Haven't watched it since I saw the replay last night, but my recollection was if he hadda had some wood on that pass, it woulda been fine, fact that he fanned on it was the kicker. the other snafu's were snafus all day...every day....all year long. If in fact, Carlo didn't fan on the pass...it was every bit as ugly as the rest.

71 whifs on shot...he did nothing to that point...get out of his contract as fast as possible. Not an impact player..59 major impact player. Nobody really did much tonight. Pasta shot it wide on one timer in third when it was still 2-2. Then somebody hit the cross bar. Thanks for the reminder. I'm much less pissed about the loss. Those were 2 game changers and based upon the raw stats -- the B's were only beat on the scoreboard. I'm hoping Lyon Isn't in Pasta's head which made him shoot that gimmie wide left. The other reference was crossbar by CMac -- the 2nd of 2 game changers that's keeping my head screwed on a little tighter and giving me hope for the next 3 wins.

Mac had a good look and it just hit the cross bar and i think it was actually 3-2 at the time not 2-2 because minataur scored in the opening minute of the third his second goal of the game after going 38 playoff games without a goal.

A lot of law of averages stats just caught up with the Bruins. One example Linus hadn't given up more than 4 gaols all season then gives up 5 mostly from giveaways and bad decisions in the defensive zone and not really his fault.

I mean how many tough saves did Alex Lyon have to make, i'll save you the trouble, none. Bob Ross's estate got in an ugly battle. one on connor clifton on a drive to net..forgot who passed it. 1st period...that's it to me. Yep, that was a good one but Cliffy was in so close he had no time to raise it.

"Bob Ross" Brooks was in the nets for B's too. I mean how many tough saves did Alex Lyon have to make, i'll save you the trouble, none. Bob Ross's estate got in an ugly battle. They scored 3. Offence was not a problem for the team with the best defense in League history.

Offence was not a problem for the team with the best defense in League history. True enough, especially when the other team scored 6, goes to show how rough a night it was all the way around. I think they tighten things up, get back to normal things will be alright. It wasn't like the Panthers were doing anything special, they capitalized on just about every B's mistake.

Ya, he's gotta go next year... That's a lot of money that can be used for an actual contributing player. Horrible value. If the Bs can’t win a Cup with what they have right now, then who GAF about value and roster construction next year and beyond? Seriously. They blew it in ‘19. If they blow this chance, then fuck it, man. So, just sell the team to Tallahassee if they lose this year? Doesn't matter if they win the cup or not this year when next year starts. What direction do you want them to go in? Put the best team they can on the ice or not? I get the severity of it right now, but damn.

One thing is for certain, the Panthers neither win nor lose graciously. They are punks. Yeah Staal, Cousins, Tkachuk & Gudas, they have a few alright but cousins to me was the biggest, wanted to swing his stick but was petrified his gloves would fall off. I think before the series is over Cousins will get his. Yep I think so too. And would pay good money to see someone smash that grin off of Lombergs face.

What direction do you want them to go in? Put the best team they can on the ice or not? I get the severity of it right now, but damn. Frankly, I absolutely do not GAF what happens beyond winning 15 more games, this season. I have literally not seen a better Bruins team since 1971, and they didnt win. After ‘72, I waited 39 fucking years for them to win another one. At my age, I do not expect a Bruins team to win another Cup in my lifetime after this year. 100% of my focus is this team winning, this year. Really like to see this team look a little more convincing any time now. This announcement of No Captain each game is getting old, too. Rangers, Colorado, Golden Knights looked legit tonight.

Hopefully he'll be able to score one that matters at some point. 71 whifs on shot...he did nothing to that point...get out of his contract as fast as possible. Not an impact player..59 major impact player. Now that the wind is blowing north instead of south … new weather report

Now that the wind is blowing north instead of south … new weather report hey I've never been happier to see 71 step up last few games...Go B's!....but 59 is still a better player, younger, more confident...if TinkerTaylorTylerSpy go 1 and 2 in playoff scoring we will win the Cup most assuredly...Go B's!!!!! Love the compete level of Taylor at Florida.

I believe jenny was banned and shupe institutionalized (cant confirm the latter lol) I miss those two.. Jenny was not banned. Jenny decided that the dopes outnumbered the good posters by a wide margin, and it was no longer a good place to talk about hockey.

I think it had more to do with Covid and the politics thread, brought out alot of nasty in people. The thing is it was all a useless exercise because nobody was changing anyone else's mind, everyone was entrenched in views, end of story. You should stop by again, it's the same gang more or less, just a little older and hopefully wiser, cheers!
