Goaltending is going to kill the Capitals this series

The only thing keeping the Caps in the series is Marchand's buffoonery and their goaltending (despite the mix up behind the net).

I would argue Marchand has been your best player

I would argue Marchand has been your best player

he and Hall I would say. Marchand just cant help himself and gets in trouble. Luckily, he makes up for it by putting the puck in the net

He might be if he could control his antics, but in my opinion, Bergeron is the best player to step on the ice every time he plays a game. He is a game changer in so many ways. Hall has been fantastic though, for sure. Go B's

 

[captain insano]

Enough with the freakin penalties. marchand is the best bruin's player on the ice. He's a sniper that plays all three phases at a high level. 5 on 5 the pp and the pk. i love his game.

Not that it would get to this point but one of the few cool things to potentially come out of Covid would be a Boston vs Montreal or Toronto Cup Finals. It's too bad the other originals suck this year or that could have opened up some other options.

I think Marchand brings the attitude. Love that "Sedin sister punching" guy.

He brings the"**** you" attitude.

4 straight, series over, well done Bruins, tremendous effort.

 

[captain insano]

i cant believe they beat the caps in 5 games. Amazing. The ghost of

Braden Holtby​

is dead.

I didn't think they were going to beat the Caps period.

great series for the Bruins and Tuuka played extremely well last night. He was anticipating the shot and outthinking the Caps all game. Really made it look easy. Bruins clamped down on defense and the Capitols had no answers.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Bruins won because of their goaltending and defense. Caps bounced in the 1st round 3 years in a row. in the past they would win at least a few rounds.

The Caps are looking too old to keep that group together. I don't know who was wearing #8 for that series, but the announcers shouldn't have been calling him "the Great 8". What a pathetic performance from him. That should be the last game Chara plays in. He looked his age and if they had made it to another round he would look even older. I don't dislike the Caps, I just think they need to move on from Oshie, Chara, Ovi, and Backstrom. They need more speed.

Ovi should not retire lol. We just learned today that he had been playing hurt. This is why he pulled out of the World Championships today, and it's very unlike him not to play for his country. Not that this is an excuse for the Caps or anything. Oshie had a solid year with 43 points in 53 games. Backstrom had 53 points in 55 games, so he also had a solid year. If the Caps are old, what does that make Bergeron, Marchand, and Krejci?

The Caps definitely need to go younger and add more speed. The passing was horrendous this past series too. However, this group can win another Cup I believe.

Never appreciated Ovi's game, as good as he has been, he could be so much better if he worked harder on defense. Probably not ready to retire, but to ride him on the PP the way they do is not ideal. He constantly stays on the ice for entire PP's. If he is "hurt" why ride him so hard? He needs to be smarter about these things as he keeps getting older. They need a youth movement...soon.

Can we not put his name on a Bruins discussion thread ever again? Please? That guys was Superman against the B's.

Tope three active leaders in plus/minus are not by accident.

Thank Ganja that he signed with a loser Western Conference team like Vancouver...What a pain in the ass he was against us...Chia should've drafted him in 2008 instead of Hutchinson.
