Good win. Bs have less high end skill this year but perhaps more size , grit and mojo at the right time. Embrace the underdog mentality!
Florida had some good minutes, but full 60 minutes they looked like they were off a week, Aaron Ekblad was so bad.. well he was good for the bruins LOL, pastrnak had more chances in the first period then all 7 games 1st round, far from over panthers cycle very well, and dummy Bennett will be back and like last year he turned the series with his physical style and wild forecheck when he came back, lomberg is also out another guy who just adds trouble for our D, HUGE GAME coming up
Returning the favor of ending Floridas season would be so satisfying. Longggg way to go but great start!
Bruins in 6
Since hockey is for everyone…shouldn’t I see women growing playoff beards as well?
If Mcavoy had the offensive confidence of Lohrei he’d be a 2x Norris winner already
Very tough call if Bruins have 9 healthy D, but match up wise, i like forbort in this series, peeke would either take wotherspoon/forbort out though
lohrei has played too well at this point to even consider taking out
DON'T change anything for game 2, other then brown he did his job but rather go 7D then using him for 8 minutes
Justin Brazeau and Lohrie, Brazeau's drive to the net with Pasta driving on the wing, Brazeau made up his mind right before entering the offensive zone…
I picked BRUINS in 6 too Brian 💪🖤💛💪 PAYBACKS A BITCH.
Sway doesnt make that last second save before OT in game 7 against Toronto if Hockey Gods didn't want Bruins to win. Its our destiny for 2024.
Puck doesnt take that PERFECT BOUNCE off quarter corner boards for game 7 winner in OT if it wasnt meant to be Bruins for SC championship this year.
2024 BRUINS ARE A RUNAWAY LOCOMOTIVE FREIGHT 🚄 HOP ON OR GET RAN THE FUCK OVER ☠️⚰️🎉🪦
Should Florida really be favored though 🤔 Panthers are 0 – 15 against on their PP. Lmfao
Panthers are pussy cats without Gudas giving us fits.
Last time Bruins had a goalie stealing series was when Tim Thomas stood on his head in 2011 and WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THAT SEASON 🎬🌃🔥🥳🏆🎰
❤❤❤❤ can we all agree that this might be the greatest goalie we've had since Tim Thomas I mean swayman is even better than tukka rask man i miss tukka but i love swayman man
not for nothing about the goalie rotation but Swayman knows if he has a game less than what he's giving us.. could very well mean he doesnt start the next game and we know he wants to be between the pipes the whole way.. This is undoubtably pushing him to greatness. Simply put he has Ulmark.. that's an amazing goalie waiting to play so Swayman needs to be an absolute stud to not give up the net.
Let's go bruins
Sweep the panthers
Bruins ❤ keep it rollin
It's a good thing that the cap is going to increase cos Sway is going to get paaaaaaaaaid. I'm guessing that they'll want to avoid aberration next time around
