OT: Bruins vs Leafs Game 7

[primetime]

I don't think Bergeron is anywhere near 100% and it's really hurting his linemates. I think that injury he took cost him more than just the Art Ross. No idea why he keeps getting thrown out of faceoffs in this series though.

Realist about what? This team had a 3-1 lead in this series. It shouldn't have gotten to this point but it's here.

All I said was there was a lot of time left on this one. If your vantage point sees that as optimistic I am not the one with a perception problem lol

One more period with the Bruins season on the line.

 

[PP2]

Losing the puck control battle in all three zones. Not looking good at all.

There's still a period left and the Bruins have been a third period team all year. They have a shot as long as it stays a one goal game.

Why's this team more banged up than other teams?

Well better go all out.

Bad luck.

That's the Babcock factor, he worked the officials so hard over it they are now seeing things that aren't even there

Well that's entirely too optimistic

I think three of four goals were on Rask. I had been more forgiving but in slow motion he should have had them all except the Miller deflection. The breakaway was especially embarrassing, he stayed in his net and refused to challenge Kapanen and then committed way too early. As a one-time goalie in minor pro leagues, I'm more willing to make excuses for goalies than most but he does a lot of the classic Finnish goalie crap where it's athleticism over angles, like sitting in the back of the net and never challenging shooters which gives them the whole net to shoot at and it annoys me.

Bad luck.

And worse timing

I played goal and went to college on a scholarship for it. I can't fault Rask on either of the 1st 2. Not challenging Kapenen was inexcusable. I'd say there was 200% of blame to go around on that one. Marchy should never have allowed Kapenen to take that away and Rask should have challenged him. You are dead on with the Finnish style comment, they do not challenge near enough. As North American goalies we are taught geometry, apparently they are taught gymnastics

 

[maust]

Matching penalties? On that???

 

[FoxboroFlyer]

Nice!

 

[maust]

Yes!!!

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Let's go!!!!! Get a lead.

 

[PP2]

Just wish they'd stop turning those clearouts into turnovers.

 

[Patriot Missile]

New game.

 

[FoxboroFlyer]

Officiating is complete garbage...per usual. Complete ********.

Jesus.
