Panthers are dirty bottom feeders. They practice and rehearse how to injure players without being seen. They are complete SCUM. Someone needs to put those cretins in their place. Talent means nothing. Teamwork and effort is what wins playoff hockey. The Maple Leafs are substantially more talented, but we beat them because Lindholm figured out that the puck has to get in the net to score.
Real tough loss last night. Time for DESPERATE HOCKEY as Scott mentioned!
Bs keep trying to go up the strong side with the puck where it gets swallowed up by traffic. They also refuse to forecheck with more than one player, so they never cause turnovers below the goal line. Monty is a lousy strategist.
Totally agree with Scott's goaltending analysis. Spot on. Time for Ullmark. The invincibility factor with Swayman is long gone, the team needs a spark, and yes, if they are consistent in what they've said after game 2 vs. Toronto, it is time for Ullmark. This is why you have two goalies with a 9 million cap hit. Use them both.
Imo Monty might have to be replaced. Top6 and D core will need to be overhauled. These players dont have it
Florida has the advantage in both talent and coaching. But what's shocking is that Florida is still outhustling Boston with urgency and desperation and actually playing like the team that has the inferior talent and coaching with their backs against the wall. Boston, OTOH, are still making self-inflicted mistakes while continuing to play sloppy and nonchalant. They're asleep and need to wake up or this series will be over on Tuesday.
At first glace it looked like a clean hit. After the slowdown you can see that Bennett sticks his arm out and it connects with Marchand's face. IT sucks and no one likes injuries, but just like when Cousins went down for Florida on some dirty hits. No one outside of Boston is feeling bad for Brad Marchand. The man has made a career out of dirty hits and plays.

Love it!
Shoulder issue
Bruins setting them up for game 7 revenge….LOL
Ulmark reset
All the suffering that goes on in playoff hockey and they call a penalty for holding the stick is just lame😅
Ullmark!! HELL NO! He’s cold and hasn’t played! If they fall behind with a cold goalie, it will destroy them and It’s over! Stay with Swayman! If they score first at least theirs a chance! At this point, I’d dress Neely and Sweeney!!
Rangers fan here, the three of you really know your hockey!
The fat guy in the blue and white hat is such a fanboy lol. Excuses for bruins and downplaying the quality of play by the Panthers. However this dude wants to play mental gymnastics lol
Stick with swayman
Bruins dont have the players to win the series.turn overs Face-offs & no speed.still have a little hope.keep it rollin
Need ullmark in game # 4
Guys & gal it comes to effort .all of them r nhl players.florida wants it more EFFORT.CMON BRUINS.KEEP IT ROLLIN
If the bruins start ullmark the series is over
We had a great team last year. Needed to do it then. This team doesn’t have half the talent. Love the big rig he could not look any slower.
That double minor that they scored two on was the dagger. Remember that sequence in the third where the B's had Florida pinned in their own end? How? The Bruins were winning puck battles, stepping into Panthers to knock them off the puck to gain possession and just straight up outhustling them to the point of creating some high danger scoring opportunities that actually tested Bobrovsky, forcing him to make some big stops? They have to do more of that to have a shot at evening up this series tomorrow. The Panthers said Sway is an elite goaltender. He is. Evan Rodrigues said they had to take away his eyes in trying to get shots on net. The B's have to do the same with their guy. This meager shot production over large parts of the game that eat the clock will get them nowhere.
