​@@moynevilla1 A goalie can give up an average goal and still be standing on his head. But regardless, sealing the post doesn't change anything. That goal is the result of a defensive lapse, not a goalie misplay. A vertical passing play from behind the net that happens faster than you can react to isn't being scored because the goalie isn't in perfect position. It's being scored because multiple defenders got outworked and left their goalie in a bad position.

Everyone saying that this is a humiliating series for Boston... 42-18... yaddah yaddah yaddah... Ya there is times that the bruins should put pucks on net (Lohrei, McAvoy), but that's the bruins' style. They play defensively, grind the boards and look for the extra pass. They came in the heavy underdog in this series, and they have equaled Florida's aggression and leveled the ice but made some mistakes in the process. Game 3 if Lohrei doesn't take a terrible high stick they are pushing to tie to end the second, instead of going into the third down 3-0. Even after that we played hard, but the horrible penalty on Lauko killed some momentum. Still, they play hard finish that game 4-2. (W/o empty netters) Game 4 Bruins open well but again take terrible penalties (Pasta, Maroon, Geekie????). They keep the game at 2-1 until Lindholm is called for a ticky-tack interference which leads to a clear goaltender interference, (If you want to allow the refs/Toronto to hide behind some written rule about penalty blah blah whatever). With the blown call and the ensuing power play the momentum swings and they can't bounce back. They definitely missed Marchand on the PK tonight. What I want to say is this has been a very hard-fought series and could have swung the other way (3-1 Bs or 2-2) rather easily. Florida's power play rivals Edmonton's so you just can't afford bad penalties or bad calls. Either way I don't think this series is over and just looking at stats doesn't tell you the story. Think this could be very interesting if Bruins show some belief in game 5.

You funny!😅

[@abnmp7865]

The bruins played with zero heart half way thru the 2nd period in game 2 til halfway in the 3rd period of game three until the empty netter. Then they gave up again. They quit. This game they actually played the entire game. There’s no way they would have won games 2 or 3.

[@bareknuckles2u]

When they showed the replay of the Bennett goal, the colorman didn't even say anything about goaltender interference until the announcement was made over the PA that the Bruins were challenging the play.

Panthers респект и уважуха

[@PP-rr1gz]

At this point you just hope the Bruins can somehow make it close so it doesn’t look as bad.

[@Dylan-Rodger]

I think the benny goal is a 50/50 call. But the refs are not the reason why boston has only like 5 goals in 3 games. Boston had a 3-1 series lead last year and blew it. Panthers cannot allow boston to have life, end it Tuesday

[@TJ89741]

It shouldn’t have counted. Says so from the league themselves. They just blew the call.

[@joedoggie9098]

24-7 in penalties says it all no suspension for Bennett for punching out best player and getting no suspension or even a minor, when Boston sneezes on team headsnap and they get the call against, this has Bettmans fingerprints all over it. Who do you think they were on the phone with to make the call on the Bennett goal? or are you new to the Nhl.

[@killercloud5768]

I agree the call on the goal was 50-50, but I don't see where the call for a suspension on Bennett is coming from, Marchand absolutely made a blunder on his hit and caught an unlucky hit to the head, combined with another collision he had with a different Panthers player it injured him. Bennett being the villain to Boston is fine, but there was no suspension justification there. FYI in my opinion Florida played the worst hockey they've played this series, it was sloppy, a lot of bad pass receives, puck control issues, etc. and still won from a 2-0 deficit, I don't see Boston winning this series. Realistically if Swayman wasn't such an insanely solid goalie, the score should have been 8-2 but he made some really nice saves many times.

[@frankpropri540]

you're getting a lot of penalties? Because you're not good enough, that's it. The panthers are just better. They're faster more physical there a way more deeper team You're averaging 15 shots, a game that's embarrassing. And you're getting outcoached

[@humanbeing2420]

No way. That was unambiguous interference. There is no defense whatsoever for that review call. The NHL's review officials are so far beyond incompetent that words fail. And I hate the Bruins.

[@shug2795]

Too bad about the Bennet goal but I believe the better team won. Did you see the monster hit on McAvoy in the dying second? Wow.... Not only did they lose but they got humiliated. Mongomery has to take resonsibilty for his undisciplined conduct which has bled into his team. How do you send your TOP scorer to fight Tkachuk?!? Then, you challenge a goal and get another penalty. Then...you get a bench minor! Subsequently, his players make undisciplined plays. Duuuh....? This may cost him his job.

[@restoredaccess]

that's exactly what I've been saying. There's no way Pasta should've been fighting. That being said, I don't think we're getting humiliated nearly as bad as people are saying. This series could've been 2-2 right now.

[@johnholmes8919]

are you 5 years old

[@phils6733]

Swayman was so out of position anyways…Even with the cross check swayman had 0 chance of making that save…which is why it was called a goal. For swayman to be effective you can’t give Florida more than 22 shots a game.

[@winner8661]

The Bennet goal was perhaps the worst call in the history of the NHL. To miss that after looking at it on replay was so disgraceful that they should all lose their jobs. As for the other things you said, no the Bruins played a very dirty team very well and 100% deserved to come away with a win. Mongomery is a great coach and I thought he stuck up for his team very well. The series isn't over as the vastly better team is awakened in anger over the stupidity of the refs and utterly mindless aggressive of the true dirtbags on the other team.

[@coletraeger355]

0% chance swayman made the save regardless. Out of position and no way he can get back into position before the puck goes in

I'm a fan from the 80s/90s when hockey had balls and retaliation was normal. I don't mind if we don't win, but if we lose make sure they feel it! Give them some PJ Stock intensity and bruise them heading into the next series.

[@braydentan985]

42 and 18??? Bruh this really just shows the harsh reality of playoff sports... the Leafs and Bruins never stood a chance against Florida either way regardless who won the first round. If the Leafs managed to score first in that game 7 OT, they were gonna get swept, and the Bruins are getting absolutely smoked right now ☠️

swept? the leafs would have done more than this pathetic mess, they were injured vs boston

[@Paul-nk3pd]

The Leafs were clearly the better team for most of the series against Boston. Key injuries and great goaltending from Swayman were the only reasons why Boston won. Florida vs Toronto would have been a great and competitive series, unlike this.

You are right. Leafs would have been done in 5 games also.

The fact that Bennett was able to skate off the ice tonight is an injustice. Boston needs more backbone.

[@hansuetz8659]

That would be like saying the fact that Marchand gers to skate off the ice without repercussions. Lol.

[@EmporerSprinkel]

yea lets play with the intent of injuring the other team, because our team is so trash its the only way we have a chance. disgusting mindset

[@anitahulkkonen19]

@@EmporerSprinkelthank you for saying this. As a Preds fan, I saw countless Vancouver fans saying 4th liners should just start taking turns taking runs at Saros to injure him to “even up the goaltending”. Disgusting mindset. Wanting your team to play a more physical game is one thing; wanting your team to purposefully try to injure opposing players is a whole other thing. Gross to see people actually wish for that.

[@kennyg1358]

I guess Bennett will be cross-checking a lot of defenseman into their goalies from now on.

[@frederickorcutt9112]

They set a new standard. Pissed the Bruins didn't do it this game just to prove a point.

[@donaldramsey6222]

the goalie had no shot at saving that goal, so no reason to keep beating a dead horse. if the boston player didnt try to dive to get a penalty, because that was the lightest push i have seen in a while, he might of played the puck away himself.
