That's the difference between coming off the Toronto series vs the NJ series. The Bruins are already in that do-what-it-takes survival mode. TB is not.Bruins showed more fire and effort all game. TB got gift after gift and still looked a bit lackadaisical all game.
The replay showed a puck to the knee area.What happened to DeBrusk on that extended d zone time? Thought he got his cage rattled and didn’t seem like a puck to the ankle but I admittedly wasn’t watching closely enough.

Still my all time favorite.Tuukka deserved a star, but fuck it.
Exactly. Not sure if their at-times poor play was self inflicted or because Toronto was just really really really fast. Or both?Toronto was essentially a top 6 team in NHL. Not sure I really buy underperformance
They came within a game 7 final period of losing to Toronto - not sure how that translates to"beating the piss" out of them. Yes, I agree, Toronto is very good but the B's are better, had a better regular season record, and had the home advantage in the best of 7, yet struggled to win the series. To me, that's underperformingWait, you think they underperformed against Toronto? Unlucky, yes, but they beat the piss out of a really good team.
Please explain.
It ain't beating the piss out of them, but it isn't underperforming either. Toronto was within a hair's breadth of Boston most of the season and won the season series. I would say beating them is performing just about right. Winning in 5 or less would have been overperforming, frankly.They came within a game 7 final period of losing to Toronto - not sure how that translates to"beating the piss" out of them.

Because if you watched the games you would realize Toronto (one of the best teams in the East, mind you) outplayed the B’s for like 1 or 2 games.

of course it was a maple leaf. Lol
It was this season. Sep 27 preseason game.of course it was a maple leaf. Lol
Tell me that wasn’t from this season?
Also. Shocker the NHL is woefully inconsistent as to how they administer the rules.
I would hope so. I think they got the call right within the written rules last night, but it was stupid nonetheless. Ultimately, it pissed Rask off, and an emotional Rask is an engaged Rask, and he was awesome.I expect the rule regarding goalie skates to be changed in the offseason. A skater who breaks a blade can make it to the bench. A goalie who breaks a blade doesn't have that option.
