Game 4 - Bruins @ Leafs

[mostman]

I see a lot of sloppy puck play on both sides tonight. Shitty ice?

They commented on that on NBC. The ice is choppy.

 

[LogansDad]

Toronto needs a recall on their Zamboni or something.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Need to see that Marchand tripping replay.

Just rewound it, and the camera wasn't on them when it happened, but based on where they were before and after, sure looked like he was blatantly tripped by either a skate or a leg.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Can’t blow opportunities like that. Feh.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Not a stellar shot by Heinen.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

B's desperately need a couple lucky bounce goals in this one. Just need to see pucks going in the net again.

 

[edmunddantes]

Marchand just seems so bored right now. Not even competing.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

What the fuck was that pass McQuaid?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Toronto had the better of play in that period, so 1-1 works.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Second brain dead pass of the night for McQuaid.

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

The fuck McQuaid?

 

[LogansDad]

Less good from McQuaid there.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

That is some sloppy-ass shit from McQuaid.

 

[Maximus]

McQuaid handles the puck like a hand grenade.

 

[edmunddantes]

And that st the end of the period? What a horrible pass.

 

[Reardon's Beard]

JC tripping

 

[Ed Hillel]

Happy to be tied.

Marchand such a shithead lol.

 

[edmunddantes]

Yeah. That feisty play was from earlier when refs didn’t call the Bruin getting pulled down by his helmet with nobody or the puck around.

 

[durandal1707]

2nd period is probably going to be a nightmare. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[BaseballJones]

JC tripping

I came to post just that. I'm no hockey expert, but as McQuaid was pinning the puck against the boards, the Toronto player stuck his stick between McQuaid's legs and yanked backward, clearly tripping him to the ice. Like.....completely obvious. Did the refs not call it because it didn't really impact the play at all? Why else wouldn't that be called? It would be nice to start the 2nd period with a PP.

 

[Haunted]

Some very McQuaid like decisions by McQuaid there with the puck at the end.

 

[TheRealness]

2nd period is probably going to be a nightmare. Hope I'm wrong.

Such pessimism. Such fear.

I do not share your fear. I do not share your disbelief.

 

[Haunted]

We need someone to make some luck for themselves. Keep firing. Keep the pressure up. Stop making stupid decisions with the puck (McQuaid!). Make this terrible officiating irrelevant like in the first two games.

It likely wasn't called because the game is Toronto. I mean, the refs already tried to kill McAvoy by not calling a clear icing.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Winning this period goes a long way toward putting Toronto to bed in 5. Get it done.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Compete level low on some of these guys right now, Wingels with some beer league quality circles, some horrendous decision making going on. Scariest thing for me was how open the back door was on the Leafs PP...

But hey- shit period and you come out tied. Rask is seeing the puck well, we just need some more sustained pressure.

 

[cshea]

Attempts 23-16 Toronto at ES.

Krejci line got buried, 22% Corsi. They really need to be better and Cassidy may have to do some work to get them away from Matthews.

 

[Haunted]

Yeah that second line needs to step up in a big way. Debruk aside.

Maybe flip Krejci and Riley Nash?

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Andersen still sucks. Hope is never lost.

 

[durandal1707]

Give 'em hell, Bruce.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Someone hold me...

 

[Maximus]

Tuukka WTH

 

[edmunddantes]

Ugly start.

 

[cshea]

Maybe flip Krejci and Riley Nash?

Don’t think I would do that unless they need a goal.

 

[durandal1707]

Minor heartattack there

 

[cshea]

Nothing there with Rick getting hauled down?

 

[mostman]

Another brutal non call.

 

[edmunddantes]

No hooking there.

 

[RetractableRoof]

Think Nash was held there??? damnit

 

[Mystic Merlin]

We're not getting shit done in the neutral zone.

 

[cshea]

The half screen commercials really suck.

 

[edmunddantes]

Plus Riley Nash isn’t getting tossed out of all the face offs like Bergeron was.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

McQuaid vomiting all over himself.

 

[RetractableRoof]

Plus Riley Nash isn’t getting tossed out of all the face offs like Bergeron was.

Funny how that works.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Imagine being a goalie and you see Chara and Rick Nash driving your net.

 

[LogansDad]

Great shift for Kuraly

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Zee...WTF?

 

[CreedBratton]

Could they play any worse. It’s like they gave up when they heard Bergy was out. Rask saving them

 

[durandal1707]

Tuukka making it look easy
