Hahahahaha, I think they will do the classic thing and just fire Keefe. As the old saw has it, you can’t fire the team. They will keep tinkering around the edges with Reeves-type acquisitions being hailed as master strokes, and hoping that some way, somehow, this group finally goes on a run. That GWG was bizarre, but Pasternak showed incredible hands on that play. I also wonder whether it was a case of subtle home-ice advantage - maybe the Bruins know that the puck bounces that way when sent to that exact spot in that building. It’s possible. Certainly Pasternak seemed to anticipate it. Meanwhile, a beat-up Boston now faces bone-crunching Florida, and probable defeat. This is the best possible outcome as far as I’m concerned 🥳

Agree 100%, their blueline is not nearly good enough. Hopefully they give Marner a big fat extension.

High rating for hab prospects Organizational Rankings 3. Montreal Canadiens – DobberProspects

Hopefully the "it was a coin-toss" loss is enough to convince the Leafs that no major changes are required since they were missing Nylander for 2 games and Matthews for 2 1/3 ... plus, they've found their future HoF goaltender (Woll) ... last thing I want is competent management in TO actually looking to fix what is wrong instead of patching perceived holes with duct tape.

Be still my heart.

I guess I am part of the .1%

And all of Canada rejoiced. Well, except for Toronto 😁

Yes, pretty sure 99.9% of Habfans will be pulling for both the Panthers & Rangers to sweep! I still dont care whether Dallas or Vegas wins today. Rangers start the 2nd rd at 4 this afternoon.

Who I cheer for next is totally based on improving the Habs draft position. Therefore I hope Boston beats Florida which is unlikely then loses after that. I hope the Stars lose to either Vegas or the Avs and I hope Edmonton beats Vancouver.

Tried to change the poll to Edmonton or Vancouver and it just dropped the poll unfortunately. @dlbalr or @tomh009 is it possible to add a new poll?

In that play it was Samsonov’s job to stop pasta from cutting across the net. Poke check or paddle down to prevent the movement. Brodeur was a master at that and thankfully Samsonov isn’t. I was surprised that pasta put on the speed to get the puck and even attempt such a move. Now it’s up to Florida to kill the Bruins

What are you talking about. 6 paragraphs about a simple play. All samsonov has to do is poke check the puck before pasta gets there. Thats it.... You get these weird theories all the time. Did you ever play hockey? Like serious hockey? Not when you were 5 but like as a teenager in a competitive league?

Fyi

I'm not 100% sure that would have been any better but that criticism is certainly easy to say in hindsight. I think its debatable if he misplayed it. That dump in was a perfect storm, so perfect I'm sure it was deliberate set play. i.e it was shot hard into the corner at an angle that the puck came out fast and at a good distance from the net and basically went right to a racing in Pasta who was in all alone. I dont think any of that was a coincidence. They're at home and could totally practice that. Plus, the other Bruins were in good positions too. If Samsonov had left the net he might have got to the puck 1st, but Pasta would have been on him right quick and could have taken it from him, or the G might have passed it right to another Bruins player trying to clear. All the Leafs were in poor positions and numerous were skating towards where the puck was going. Just imagine the scenario if Samsonov had came out of the net and the Bruins got the puck and won the series in game 7 on an empty net goal in OT. Or he shoots it into a teammate racing in and it's an own goal into the empty net. If he had left the net theres a strong chance hilarity would have ensued. I hope the Stars win too.

Now if Stars can eliminate Vegas Im happy.

The world is as it should be tonight.

18000 people and 11 players in that game knew the puck was bouncing into the slot. For some reason samsonov stayed on his line instead of pushing out and grabbing it.

Osti de calice de tabarnac !🤬

Death Taxes The Leafs losing in the funniest possible way.

Bye bye Leafs.

So my TSN app didn’t deceive me. Dreams do come true.

Well thank you Mr Pastrnak for killing the leafs

This ice is a disgrace. Neither team can string 3 passes together. The plays arent working out (both ways) cause the ice is a disaster. Puck is bouncing like mad.
