NHL Season 2023-24

Swayman played pretty well, maybe even stood on his head a few times

Yah, hope they start the other guy on Saturday LOL!

Stupid Leafs!
They once again, let their collective emotions dictate their play and that, along with their shoddy goal tending, cost them game three. Bruin's goalie out goalied Toronto's.
Not holding out much hope for Saturday's game as selfish penalties will crucify the team...

Who gets the start in net is the big question in Boston with the Globe's writers firmly in the Swayman camp. I am a huge Swayman fan and I would be OK with whatever the Coaches and Front Office decides, but the contrayrian in me wants to see the Rotation (that got the B's into the playoffs when few gave them a chance after Bergeron and Krecji retired) continue. Just think - if Ullmark starts and the B's win, that is a HUGE flex. Maybe the Leafs could rally back in a Game 5, down 3-1, facing Swayman. But that is a huge ask and i wouldn't bet on it.

I'm somewhat surprised the Bruins won. I have an employee that's a huge Bruins fan so I watch them some. I watched last night and what I saw was a Bruins team that didn't seem to play very hard. They'd dump the puck behind the Leafs goal and half ass chase the puck down. On face offs the Leafs players would have their sticks on the ice twitching and the Bruins players would have theirs above the ice six inches and look like they couldn't care less. But they did outscore the Leafs so that's what counts.

I think TB and the Isles may be toast

It is a cliche, but if the cliche fits......

In the playoffs, your best players need to be your best players. That was Matthews in Game 2 and Marchant in Game 3. Who will it be in Game 4?

Stupid Leafs. Won't be Marner. You can take that to the bank. Just hope Willy can get back in.

Just hope Willy can get back in.

Running joke here is that Willy doesn't "want to adult" and is laying on his front stoop trying to get someone to take down his Xmas lights!

Spent too much time looking at NHL rules regarding tackling...
Apparently NOT in the rule book! LOL

That was holding at the very least. In a wrestling match I would have awarded two points for a take-down.

I hear McAvoy should go early in the second round at the NFL draft.

 

[Camaro69]

I didn't call that interference
The refs didn't call McAvoy getting hit in the head with a stick

evens out

Winnipeg took quite a few penalties that weren't even intentional. Colorado made them pay for it

 

[Camaro69]

Anybody else here watching the other games?

 

[Ostie]

Got the Bruins and the Leafs on right now. Watching to see who Marchand's next victim will be. The guy has a problem.

How 'bout them Bolts!
Had to catch up here. Going back to Leafs/Bruins soon.

I dunno, Bertuzzi and Domi seem to really like him. And his power play goals!

Yeah they needed to win at least one

 

[GonePlaid]

Yup. Even if they don't win another, at least they won that one at home.

 

[Camaro69]

Getting swept is the worst
