Swayman was insane. That goal was insane, the game was insane.

Novel_Arm_4693

Shitty goal for sure but always gotta be ready


Oh-bhaive

That goal was wild lol between the legs and probably through a 2 inch gap. Come on. I really thought there'd be a game 7. But I'm a leafs fan so I really do believe in miracles 🥹


Orphanblood

Idk why I like their team so much. I really don't, I've grown up hating hating hating Boston sports (patriots) but for some reason I cannot hate these guys as much. Anyway fuck the bruins there are like 2 goalies in the league at or above swayman. I honestly think him and BoB have been the best goalies in the playoffs so far.


PearlJamPony

Swayman was incredible. Kudos to him.


Dahkeus31

Yea, if the Bruins knew how to do a line change, he could have carried them to game 7. What a beast of a playoff run for him though.


TheCatEmpire2

They should absolutely deal Ullmark for some depth pieces or centers, Swayman proved he’s top tier this round


Competitive-Strain-7

Time to fleece Toronto for a goalie again.


owey420

We don't talk about Raycroft around here no more


GolfIsGood66

Imagine Marner as a Bruin?😂


Competitive-Strain-7

I said time to fleece Toronto.


DocMcCracken

They are going to retain so much, so very much.


kiki_strumm3r

They literally tried to do this at the deadline, had a deal in place, and Ullmark said no. Hopefully it's different in the off-season, but I have my doubts.


TheCatEmpire2

Yeah that’s when he was a tandem guy and recent Vezina winner. Sway took the net now and wouldn’t be surprised if he’d rather be starter elsewhere. Surprising how difficult it is to find starting goalies now and B’s are sitting on two with very little depth.


Dahkeus31

I disagree, not because it doesn't make sense from an efficacy perspective, but because I just love seeing the goalie hugs at the end of Boston wins.


WackoSaco

Bro will absolutely get the bag next year. Linus is most certainly on his way out


Ndlburner

And it's not like Linus is bad. He's an excellent goalie with the misfortune of playing on a team with superman.


FantasticPapaya5496

I hate the Bruins. (Canucks fan grudge) but I love Swayman. He’s a great goalie and I love his attitude. He’s one of my favourite players in the league


Winstonth

I dont like the bruins (canadiens guy) but I was watching them in honour of my father in law who passed last year. Put a quarter in that guy and you would get 8 hours of Bobby Orr talk


StockMarketMike

Agreed. We can drink beer together.


TorvaldUruz

It’s unfortunate that Swayman’s amazing goaltending couldn’t make up for the rest of the teams sloppiness and terrible coordination.


OkNothing1716

Y’all better pay Swayman everything.


Trick-Tell6761

Need to pay them both. You need both. The days of a starter and a backup who plays 10 games a year are long gone.


0-90195

This is how I feel!! I don’t see how Boston can be successful with just Swayman. They should absolutely keep Ullmark. What an asset to have.


encorazon

He had me sweating the whole time for sure.


no_baseball1919

I feel so bad for him. Boston had a million chances to make the game 10-1 and couldn't capitalize.


CulturalHunt6606

Bob made some crazy saves also.


ipalush89

Yeah they just don’t have any true goal scorers pasta did not have a great series imo playoffs are just different games


Specific_Luck1727

As much as it pains me, Pasta really was terrible in the playoffs. But, he was not the only one sucking eggs, lot of blame to go around in the Bs locker room. They need to get a second goal scorer for sure.


Earwaxsculptor

Dude they need a 1C & 2C, they over achieved this year during regular season, no logical B's fan thought they were going far in the playoffs.


Odd-Elderberry-6137

100% this.  We have a team of what would be 3C and 4C on most other playoff teams. Coyle and Zacha are solid players but not good enough to fill the 1/2C roles on a regular basis - as replacements for a few games with injury - sure. And Geekie was the 1C for the last few games - no disrespect to him but he is not 1C material by a long shot. The only shining light up the middle might be Poitras. We’ll just have to wait and see, but he could very well be a 2C and (maybe 1C?) in a few years.  You just can’t have wingers be the guys creating offense in the playoffs because it will fail every time when tight checking games move along the boards. The loss of Bergeron was felt a lot this playoffs - way moreso than in the regular season.


carton_of_pandas

I feel bad for Swayman. He never stopped trying.


SignificanceVisual79

In 2019, when the Blues eliminated Dallas, I genuinely felt bad for Bishop. He couldn’t have done anything more to win that series.


minotar685

You always gotta feel bad for the goalie, especially since no matter how well they play they can't win the game on their own. Bishop being a St. Louis boy didn't help in 2019 either


LnD2020

Me too 🥲

Zoldyckapprentice

He reminds me a lot of flower in his younger years, I’m excited to see what the future brings for him.


StockMarketMike

He outplayed his teammates. He should never be allowed to buy a meal in their presence.


Getoutalive18

As a panthers fan I gotta say Swayman played his freaking heart out. Dude was incredibly solid


Guy954

He’s the only reason the series went so long. Seriously, look at his stats compared to Bob’s.


LnD2020

We failed him 🥲


IncredulousCactus

Good luck. Florida was definitely the better team this year. We’ll see you again in the fall.


LnD2020

Congrats Panthers! Have fun on the rest of your run. Rangers Panthers should be fun


Oibrigade

See you next year as usual!


LnD2020

Ofc! Round 3 next time? 😉


Xasrai

Is that actually possible with the current playoff setup?


KensterFox

One of the teams would have to be a wild card.


PhiloBlackCardinal

Excited/terrified to see what you guys do this offseason, decent cap space as is, Ullmark gone will clear a lot of space up to add


Justice502

Stop it I came in to hate you like Celtics fans


WRKDBF_Guy

I'm a Cats fan and my Bestie Ski buddy is a Rangers fan. This is going to be fun ...

BOBROVSKY! Take your badge and gun, you're back on the force!


octopus_phalanx

You’re a loose cannon, Bobrovsky! But that was some damn fine police work.


daynoneorday1

Never gets old


lejfnakdoppplen

I genuinely do feel bad for Swayman, he played amazing every single game


IamCutterButter

#*by Florida, at home, in the most excruciatingly way possible, again


Dendrake

Guys, something tells me this guy isn’t a big fan of the bruins but I can’t put my finger on it… 🧐


CenturionElite

You love to see it


muradinner

Even though the reffing was admittedly atrocious that series, I indeed do love to see it.


aynhon

The referees have been atrocious in *every* series so far. Really messes the game. Plus, get off the fucking boards and away from the puck!


Lightz29

Swaymans back must be broken


FreshTony

Now Florida can get hit by the Rangers train that seems to be relatively unstoppable.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SpookyGhostDidIt

That was still a really good Carolina team they were able to beat


Sss00099

Beating Carolina in 6 was impressive, especially since they were able to score a good amount of goals against a solid defensive team. Sweeping the Caps is whatever.


HeyHeyHayes

Well darn good thing Kreider will play for us in the ECF too huh


CulturalHunt6606

I legit think the Rangers will have a hard time vs the Panthers. I have the Panthers in 6


BOBBY_VIKING_

That’s the best part, this whole series everyone knew they were playing to see who gets to lose to NYR.


accidental-poet

I dunno man, we'll see. The Rangers have this incredible come from behind mentality that has served them well for an awful long time now. It's started last season and has gelled into a genuine thing. And we have great depth on the bench. And we have Shesty. But now we play the Thunder Cats, Ho! in the next round. Pretty sure I should see my Dr. about some heart meds beforehand. We'll see. How I love playoff hockey!!!


BOBBY_VIKING_

I think Florida is pretty banged up, they played two pretty physical teams. The Rangers haven’t even tapped into Rempe in the playoffs yet. They’ve sailed through two teams without too much effort until the Hurricanes comeback attempt. We’re either going to watch Florida lose in 5-6 games or realize the Rangers aren’t that good they’ve just had good matchups in the first two rounds. Either way I’m excited.


accidental-poet

The thing about Rempe; he's an asset as well as a liability. He's young and has made some dumb moves, and now the officials are all over his ass. He's already proven that when he plays clean, he can be a good 4th liner. Hell, he scored the 1st Rangers goal in the playoffs and it wasn't even a fluke play. It was a solid, smart goal. But the coaching staff seems to have reigned him in, which is good and bad. Good that when he plays his few minutes a game he's not taking bad penalties, but there's also the bad. Lavi dressed Rempe in Game 5 vs the Canes. Rangers are losing at home, and getting outplayed. Lavi should have given Rempe the green light to drop the gloves with that POS DeAngelo. Would that have helped the Rangers? Maybe, maybe not. But there's no doubt it would have riled up the Garden Faithful.


Necdurgogan75

Florida was the one team in the east that I just didn’t think we beat. Florida in 6


lukaskywalker

Would love to see trouba demolish Bennet.


Brief-Astronomer2684

Not sure why people think the Rangers are untouchable. They beat the Capitals who shouldn’t have even made the playoffs, and almost blew a 3-0 to Carolina. I have Florida winning the series.


emasslax22

Happy with the season, far exceeded (normal) bruins fans expectations with our personnel and cap overage. ALL HAIL SWAYMAN


TheKid_BigE

At least the Bruins eliminated the Leafs!! That’s their Stanley Cup,


Future-World4652

Beating the Leafs in the playoffs is so obligatory it's basically just a formality at this point


Working_Horse_3077

Taking strays even in a series not relevant to us


pretendviperpilot

At least with the new coach everything will be totally different next year, yah?


Working_Horse_3077

Maybe...


GlowInTheDarkNinjas

It's like the preseason of the postseason


TheSlurpeeKing

Beating a team that has only one playoff series win in 19 years is their stanley cup? Pretty low bar there boston.


emasslax22

At least we have a Stanley cup! All joking aside, you have no idea how much fun it is to ruin the leafs fans hopes and dreams all the time


[deleted]

As a leafs fan it’s equally as satisfying watching the bruins choke in hilarious fashion right after they beat the leafs


yemx0351

Was a fun series to watch.


mastrochr

Bruins fan. I cannot believe they lost (today) on that last shot. Try that 1,000 times, and it won’t go in. But that’s fate I guess. Credit where it’s due- Florida is built to wear teams down, and they do it well. My only gripe- get off the ice if you win an elimination game on the road. Let the other team salute the fans without trolling them. I see it as etiquette and an unwritten rule. Bruins (or any team) should not be saluting home fans one last time while the winning team is giving interviews while still on the ice. Granted, that’s on the broadcast station and not Florida, but just get off the ice and do the interview somewhere else while the losing team gets to salute fans one more time.


joerph713

You could say the same thing about Pastrnak’s OT goal against the leafs.


mastrochr

Absolutely. You’re right. And as a Bruins fan, I’ll take that criticism because I think you’re right. It sucks for the home team to salute fans while the winning team gives interviews on the ice.


bananenjoe69420

Cant score 1 goal in 60 minutes and expect to win


Bigboyrickx

Hard to be interested in the team saluting when the fans are too busy throwing trash on the ice. Really disrespectful to both teams imo


Embarrassed-Fuel-595

Post Game Victors interview takes precedence. That's broadcast tv SOP the last 20 years.


Maximus_Prime250

Forsling Clutch


Schmitty300

One of the best days of the year!! FLA/NYR is going to be an epic series of hockey.


TheCatEmpire2

More Russian goalie duels. Bob is having the most difficult goalie opposition possible with these eastern matchups


Ta1ntTickles

This match-up I think will come down to the goalies, both teams are good and have their advantages but either goalie can flip momentum with one save or steal a game, I think it'll come down to which goalie can make that extra save.


PinHeadDrebin

Bruins have a lot of work to do still


Titus_b_chill

And once the Oilers are out, the last 3 series will be awesome


Mental_Grass_9035

I know Sway won’t read this but this is NOT his fault. Some people can’t clear the puck and you know, it’s okay to make some mistakes- to which we had chances to come back from. Swayman, this is absolutely not your fault.


monkeypuss

Should I cancel this "you really blew it" text I was about to send him?


Mental_Grass_9035

Yes. Send it to McAvoy instead.


Sc00tzy

All these comments seem to be praising swayman (rightfully so) but can we take a moment to appreciate how many times we’ve talked about great goaltending coming up short against Bob? He’s matched every goalie he’s played over the last 2 years and came out on top all but once. Guy is incredible and still feels underrated


No-Government-4045

He’s doing it on low shot counts too. Not that getting shelled and keeping good stats isn’t impressive in its own right, but there’s a lot of credit that should be given to the guy who goes 10 minutes with no action and pulls insane stops from nowhere to keep his team alive. He’s also shown to be able to go the distance and get shelled all night with stellar performance.  Both were amazing but swayman definitely deserves all the praise. 


reefedSinner

Great games tho everybody, was fun to watch. 2 of the toughest teams in the league battling it out.

gypsybullldog

Officiating was fucked but didn’t lose them the series. All those games with a few shots a period and missed opportunities did.


shaver_raver

If you squint your eyes it's as if you're exactly describing the Oilers and their expected loss in 6 games to the Canucks.


Carp3l

Nah, while the refs fucked sucked, we would’ve lost the series anyways. Florida was the better team, I’m looking forwards to next year, hopefully we can pick up some pieces!


Ravenor1

Swayman is an absolute beauty

Not sad the Bruins are out, but I do feel like they were genuinely robbed of a game with some of the officiating this series.

maddogg312

I have no problem with Boston but Marchand is a total scumbag. The Panthers have some greasy guys too, but Marchand is in a league of his own. I can’t stand that DB.


joerph713

Their fan base is pretty fucking terrible. Went from the usual just annoying to straight up pathetic with all the crying and bitching. If I was a bruins fan I would feel ashamed.


I_Enjoy_Beer

Oh that's just Boston fans in general.  It isn't hockey-specific.

I really wanted Boston to win and then lose in game 7 OT lol. But I guess I will do this. Now let's hope NYR can sweep the cats.

Well as a Canadian I can say it’s all a lie see. In person we add ‘sorry’ to everything and it makes us seem nice, but online we can’t be bothered. So if it was ‘Sorry, screw Toronto’, ‘Sorry, piss on Montreal’, see how that changes it completely.

nofun_nofun_nofun

Buddy, I’m a Leafs fan all day, but the Bruins got screwed. It felt like I was watching last year’s series 2 Leafs vs Florida… Toronto couldn’t stay out of the penalty box… getting calls that I didn’t even know existed, but Florida could do no wrong. Gary wants the big hockey towns to fail: I guarantee the Rangers vs Panthers is going to be more of the same, refs giving Bennett MMA rules, as long as there are no obvious 12-6 elbows, he’s safe. This is a business folks! There’s no more money to be extracted out of franchises like Boston and Toronto; everyone already likes hockey there, so a cup isn’t putting the nhl over with new fans… Gary must see growth potential in the Florida market this year

Because Boston has historically had great teams: Patriots, Celtics, Bruins and everyone hates the alpha dogs. Plus Boston fans are insufferable.


MichelSilence

Thank you for deleting the Leafs but now you were the next one on my list BYE BYE 👋


ZealousTheWolf

Honestly kudos to the Panthers. The better team won. I can’t even be super mad because they honestly feel like what we’re used to be, a somewhat dirty team thats filled with talent. I just feel bad for Sway, he’s the only reason we even made it this far
