ECQF Game 3: 4/24/24 @ Tarranna

[Dr. Gonzo]

Shit

 

[durandal1707]

Something something Zacha

 

[katnado]

Zacha will never score again

 

[Curt S Loew]

Damn

 

[One Red Seat]

Could of really used that one

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Fuckkkkkk

 

[mwonow]

Thought we had a shorty!

 

[durandal1707]

DeBrusk has been outstanding this series at both ends so far

 

[TSC]

Is Marchy cooked?

He hasn’t been good for a while, and he’s been..noticeably unnoticeable this series so far.

 

[TSC]

DeBrusk has been outstanding this series at both ends so far

He’s probably been their best player overall this series.

 

[Haunted]

Damn it

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Oh Christ

 

[mostman]

That was fucking stupid.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

High stick?

 

[Murby]

Oh. Sticks can’t hit faces if they’re held by a Leaf. Got it.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

To answer my own question, yes. Jesus

 

[durandal1707]

No excuse for that missed call. Maybe NHL refs just suck?

 

[mwonow]

It was a PP. Refs don't want to mess it up for the viewers at home

 

[The Napkin]

there's a small part of me that thinks Matthews should have been called for closing his glove on the puck on that goal

 

[mwonow]

Leafs do a lot of tugging and grabbing, eh?

 

[durandal1707]

Can this team win a board battle? Ever?

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Find it hard to believe the Bruins have 7 shots. Doesn’t feel like it.

 

[Salem's Lot]

there's a small part of me that thinks Matthews should have been called for closing his glove on the puck on that goal

Yeah that’s the first time I saw it. Looked like a carry.

 

[mwonow]

I'd like to see a stat on o-zone possession. Feels like it's been 0 for the last 10+ minutes

 

[The Napkin]

Yeah that’s the first time I saw it. Looked like a carry.

this makes me feel slightly less crazy

 

[Murby]

Sway. Been good.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Damn, that was awful. Good stop, though.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Marchand has been invisible this series so far

 

[durandal1707]

Swayman.

 

[bsl394]

Bruins haven't had a SOG in 10 minutes

 

[mwonow]

Wotherspoon punked by Bertuzzi again.

 

[The Napkin]

another high stick missed
and a cross check

 

[durandal1707]

I'm trying to think of an instance where this team has managed to enter the oZone and create a genuine scoring chance that wasn't off the rush or a stretch pass. It's a major issue they need to figure out.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Some of these Toronto hits are up high

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

As usual the Bruins are just getting physically dominated

 

[mwonow]

Bs getting pushed around

 

[patinorange]

This game is officially out of control.

 

[One Red Seat]

Lucky to get out of that period even

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

No call on the punch to the face?

 

[Salem's Lot]

I can’t wait for the Bruins to go short handed for responding physically.

Offense has been an issue for this squad since day 1. Losing a true 1C has really hurt them. With the cap space it's something they can address in the offseason but I think it's the primary reason they won't make a cup run this year.

 

[mwonow]

I can’t wait for the Bruins to go short handed for responding physically.

Shouldn't be a problem, the Bs don't respond physically.

 

[Salem's Lot]

As usual the Bruins are just getting physically dominated

They took some big hits then responded by keeping the puck in Toronto’s zone for two minutes. How’s that getting dominated physically.

...with 0 shots

 

[moretsyndrome]

Is Marchand okay? He seems to be skating fine, but something is definitely wrong

 

[Salem's Lot]

Shouldn't be a problem, the Bs don't respond physically.

I don’t know what game some of you guys are watching some times. They hit back and had some of their best puck possession of the period. I wish they had someone that can hit like Reaves but they don’t.

Maroon?

 

[Salem's Lot]

Maroon?

He’d have to get there. He can hit like that if the guy isn’t skating I guess.

 

[bsl394]

Maroon?

Maroon is no Reeves. Bruins have to play their game - trying to outhit the other team isn't it.

 

[Cotillion]

And not to mention Lohrei did a cross check similar to several others that were never called all series and got dinged for it. And we then saw cross checks later in the game not called.

Bruins play as physically as they can within the confines of the way they get officiated.
