Game 1 - The Payback

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

Freddy shown he gate for ragdolling. Still smiling.

 

[durandal1707]

Ah, the vaunted 3rd power play unit time

 

[Brand Name]

This unit is actually getting solid looks on the PP? Sublime.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Bool sheet

I really think Toronto's two biggest advantages were faceoffs and team speed, and I don't think Florida enjoys either of those advantages over the Bruins. They hit hard and are aggressive, but are never a full step ahead of the Bruins the way Toronto was able to be at times.

Florida could win this series, for sure, but I can't believe NONE of the national people picked the Bruins to win, or even go 7 (besides McDonough).

Yes, its outrageous, especially since the Bruins were 4-0 against them during the year. I saw 13 predictions and only one said Bruins. In 7. Can't recall who.

 

[LogansDad]

That's on a fucking follow through, FFS. Not a penalty.

 

[moretsyndrome]

Is Monty sending a message by wearing Maple Leafs Blue tonight?

 

[staz]

I've seen more fans at an Albany River Rats game.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

It’s a shame that stick hit his face

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

That was thoroughly enjoyable

 

[The Mort Report]

Is it crazy to think Lohrei needs to be on PP1?

 

[LogansDad]

Spectacular start to this series. Do it again in 48 hours.

 

[Jordu]

Bruins had 69 hits and 27 blocked shots. That’s commitment.

 

[katnado]

No goalie hug? Fuck you ESPN

 

[fiskful of dollars]

Playoff hockey is the BEST!!

 

[ypioca]

Congratulations to Florida Panthers fans for beating their brethren to the parking ticket payment kiosk.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Wicked nice win

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Spectacular start to this series. Do it again in 48 hours.

Man, that is going to be one extremely tight team against one extremely loose team

 

[TSC]

What a satisfying win. Just beautiful hockey.

 

[OfTheCarmen]

Been at a work function following along on my phone on the DL. Can't wait to go back and read thru the thread.

Go B's!

 

[durandal1707]

Fantastic win.

 

[IdiotKicker]

45 hours to go. Let’s do it again.

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

No goalie hug? Fuck you ESPN

 

[ypioca]

[katnado]

[TSC]

No goalie hug? Fuck you ESPN

SVP interviewing Carlo on ESPN is awesome right now. I don't watch ESPN much anymore but it's nice to see SVP still full of joy.

Great interview.

 

[ifmanis5]

Fun game all around. Nice to see some pucks find the back of the net. They look loose and ready to roll.

 

[The Napkin]

fantastic time out by Montgomery. fantastic

 

[FL4WL3SS]

That was a fun game to watch

 

[McDrew]

 

[durandal1707]

Is Montgomery evolving? He showed a lot of urgency with that timeout in the third. And it worked... Florida was surging before, and then the Bruins stopped them cold after the timeout.

Awesome.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Yes, its outrageous, especially since the Bruins were 4-0 against them during the year. I saw 13 predictions and only one said Bruins. In 7. Can't recall who.

The one I saw was Steve Levy.

 

[TheRealness]

fantastic time out by Montgomery. fantastic

He should teach Mazzula how to use timeouts. Great timing. Settled his team down and they scored shortly thereafter

 

[cornwalls@6]

Team plays with this kind of physicality and energy, combined with Sway being on another plane of existence, they can beat anybody. That was wonderful to watch.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Agreed, that was a great timeout.

 

[wiffleballhero]

That game was fucking cathartic

 

[barclay]

The one I saw was Steve Levy.

I think thats right!

 

[The Napkin]

 

[TSC]

Whew boys.

Get outta town!

 

[NYCSox]

Man, that is going to be one extremely tight team against one extremely loose team

Well that's certainly going to be a welcome change.

 

[barclay]

Get outta town!

Its worse than I thought: https://causewaycrowd.com/posts/espn-predictions-extremely-grim-for-boston-bruins-against-florida-panthers2024-playoffs-01hx7kj1b3tr

 

[Cotillion]

I said the same thing in the series thread. I don’t get why everyone just assumed the bruins were going to get trucked by Florida. The regular season didn’t show that. It showed two teams that fight tooth and nail, and I expect a ralot close series.
Yet everyone in media was talking like “sweep city” “no chance for the bruins” etc

 

[SoxFanInCali]

That was a big boy win. It looked like it was going to be a rough night early, but Sway kept them in it until the goals came then they clamped down. Watching Florida not even be able to get a shot off for a few minutes when down 3 was beautiful. And they even looked good in the 6-on-5!

[McDrew]

I did not have Lohrei, Wotherspoon, and Carlo as the most valuable in my predictions. Huge step-up for them.

Yet another sport that ESPN experts know nothing about.

 

[BaseballJones]

Solution - win tonight 4-0, and then G2 has a lot less pressure

Pretty damned close!
