ECQF Game 3: 4/24/24 @ Tarranna

ESPN cutting away from the hug, motherfuckers

Sportsnet didn’t.

A little thing I saw after the ENG was Maroon going up to Marchand on the bench to celebrate. I think we’re really going to feel good about getting him.

Brad Marchand has entered the chat

I just wanna say that was a helluva "rope a dope" by Marchand in this game!

Hell yeah!

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Coyle's post is still haunting me for some reason.

How far is he from "best current goalie in the game" conversations? There can't be many who are better at this point.

All 3 goals scored on Swayman have been of the impossible to save variety - the rebound in game 1, then the Knies tip and ricochet off Lindholm tonight. He has been outstanding.

 

[bsl394]

Swayman needs to start game 3. I also don't want to see Lohrei in the lineup anymore.

 

[catomatic]

SHOW MAKE BELIEVE SQUARE AGAIN

It’s what they have to do there in that square…

(Glad you’re enjoying my tyke’s malaprop).

 

[The Napkin]

I still can't believe they called Tavares and then didn't call Marchand. Legitimately shocked.

Right. I'd say that the calls and non-calls evened out by the end.

Debrusk is series MVP for me so far. Marchand woke up with a vengeance tonight. Thank God.

Swayman certainly in the conversation as well

Marchand all alone with most game winning goals in franchise playoff history.

Also has tied Cam for most playoff goals in franchise history.

 

[RG33]

Also has tied Cam for most playoff goals in franchise history.

I know I shouldn’t be, but I am kind of annoyed this keeps being mentioned on-air without the qualifier or mention of “Cam did it in 97 playoff games while Brad has done it in 149 playoff games”.

 

[fiskful of dollars]

Swayman certainly in the conversation as well

Absolutely!

Let the Leaf whining begin: WHHAAAAMBUUULANCE

Oooooooh, I like!

 

[TSC]

Lost in all the hubbub of the win and post game whining is the absolutely MISERABLE effort by 3 of 4 Leafs on the ice for Marchand ENG.

Look at Marner, in particular on this reply.

Bertuzzi got hung out to dry by a team that quit on the final play.

IIRC Marner is playing through a high ankle sprain so while his effort is laughable, I'm not shocked he couldn't hustle down there.

 

[The Napkin]

Matthews too - gets to the faceoff circle and then just .. skates away? ouch.

I was more laughing at his impression of a snow angel on the ice as Coyle steps around him.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Matthews & Marner look like the Xbox controller was unplugged on that back check.

 

[Gammon_Clark]

I know I’m in the vast minority, but I am of two camps: sit Lohrei and start Ullmark in G4

 

[Haunted]

Matthews & Marner look like the Xbox controller was unplugged on that back check.

I was thinking the same thing. This looked like a "Controller disconnected" situation.

Absolutely one of my favorite gifs of all time.

It really never gets old.
