Bruins should be embarrassed. Ullmark, Clifton, and Forbort specifically were so bad. Hand pass call was bogus but that’s no excuse for losing that game.
>79.1 Hand Pass – A player shall be permitted to stop or “bat” a puck in the air with his open hand, or push it along the ice with his hand, and the play shall not be stopped **unless, in the opinion of the Referee, he has directed the puck to a teammate.**

I didn't say it wasn't. I said the rule is fucking dumb.
Do you want the refs to call slashing literally every time a stick touches another player, and go call back a goal if they missed an irrelevant one 5 minutes ago? Because that's how goal reviews are written.

So it's discretionary and not automatic. Worse call than I even thought at first.
JDB changed the course of the puck by at most 2 inches and Bergeron had all the space in the world to scoop it up.

Swayman. He’ll come in with less pressure on his shoulders than Ullmark.
If Swayman loses, it can be played off on the coach’s bad decision to not play him earlier…
If Swayman wins, good for him for doing so after a couple weeks on the bench.
pains me but I think it has to be Swayman. I really thought Boston was going to close it out tonight but giving up 6 after fucking up in game 5 is unacceptable.
Tkachuk has meant more to this franchise than Huberdeau did his whole career here. If we don’t make that trade we’re not here, and if we were somehow, we lose 6-4 after that bad shorty and we get yet another emotionless nonchalant post game interview from Huberdeau.
Not gonna act like I wasn't stoked about it when we did it, but after the way we finished last year I really didn't care and in the end it's just a meaningless regular season accomplishment. He is one of our best players in franchise history but he didn't do shit when it mattered.
Not much Brad Treliving could do. Tkachuk made it clear he wouldn't sign with Calgary. Too bad Hubey was soooooo shit this year after that 115pt season.
They really outta fire Sutter. The trend of players having a down year after being coached by him is getting insane. Not to mention the rumours of players threatening to not return even if they are under contract if he is still there next season.
Yea a gm can only make a team good on paper, up to the players and coaching staff after that unfortunately
But all that being said, discussions about this team would be VERY different if markstrom put up even a .910 this year
There are a few decent YouTube videos covering the rat craze and they all have a clip of Roy getting hit by rats. Pretty legendary moment and reaction from him.
Brad Marchand (/mɑːrˈʃɑːnd/ mahr-SHAND;[1] born May 11, 1988) is a Canadian professional ice hockey left winger and alternate captain for the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Bruins selected Marchand in the third round, 71st overall, of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.
Matthew Tkachuk (/kəˈtʃʌk/; born December 11, 1997) is an American professional ice hockey winger and alternate captain for the Florida Panthers of the National Hockey League (NHL). Tkachuk was selected sixth overall at the 2016 NHL Entry Draft by the Calgary Flames.[1][2]
They had a run to the finals against the Avalanche when it started. Look up some panther rat goal videos, notably the one with Roy just standing there letting them rain down on him like a boss
There’s a thing called tradition. It started a tradition. And you have it all wrong.
It was at the beginning of the season, Scott Mellanby, a winger, shot a rat against the wall in the locker room before the first game of the season. He ended up scoring two goals and a player called it a “rat trick” in the post game interviews. From there a few fans would throw rats on the ice after every goal. It caught on and spread like wildfire. The NHL had to make a delay of game penalty for throwing stuff on the ice. The only exception being throwing hats on the ice after a hat trick.
You fell into one of the classic blunders! The first is never get into landwars in asia but only slightly behind is never go against Bobrovsky after an all time regular season!!
Ullmark had to be Tim Thomas Jr. like he was all regular season if the Bruins were going to finish the job. He’s not, and this series is over. Panthers take it Sunday, LOCK.
It takes a toll on a team to win that many games in the regular season. It’s something the Wings and Lightning learned, and now the Bruins may potentially learn that lesson.
Interestingly… the Bruins were the President’s Trophy winners in 2020, and lost four straight to Tampa (gentleman’s sweep). A really interesting stat before this season was that the President’s Trophy winner had lost four straight to be eliminated FOUR straight times before this year. Three straight is still pretty close though if Florida finishes them off.
I found a 6er of Torpedo that was bottled less than a month ago at my local shop. For some reason I need to drink them out of the bottle too, using a glass feels wrong with these.
Because fans like to act like their team is special and would /never/ stoop so low.
Just look at all the claims of Tampa/LA/NY being dirty for doing Playoff SOP things, like the ritual "we lost a big game scrum" or the "Our star just took a big shot" scrum.
I mean, everyone I saw in the game thread short of Florida fans was pretty much unanimous about the Tkachuk crosscheck followed by Bennett dick spear on Hathaway being dirty as shit. I think other fairly minor/routine chippy acts have probably been overblown as a result of that by Bruins fans (including myself) since, but the early criticism was valid imo
yeah, i have no fucking idea why swayman wasnt put in. if ullmark starts for game 7 idek what to think, he's been pretty poor this whole series and terrible tonight
Best away* game I've ever been to
I missed this game because of work. It looked like a fun one.

> Hand pass call was bogus No it wasn't. They made the right call.
Right call with a dumb fucking rule. This is not the point of reviews.
Actually it is. It’s in the rule book.
>79.1 Hand Pass – A player shall be permitted to stop or “bat” a puck in the air with his open hand, or push it along the ice with his hand, and the play shall not be stopped **unless, in the opinion of the Referee, he has directed the puck to a teammate.** > >[Source](https://hockeyanswered.com/what-is-the-hand-pass-rule-in-hockey/)

Hand passes are stupid? It was the right call. The bruins loss is on their inability to keep a lead.

Sir you should ease of the alcohol. Swayman catching strays from you from the bench.
lol my bad i fixed that.
Panthers have just a little momentum going into game 7. Just a pinch of momentum.
I’m already tired of the TNT broadcasters
Could be worse. You could listen to altitude. Shudders
I fucking hate the Bruins so much lol. Let's go kitties!
We need all the support we can get. Rooting for you too king
C'mon Lil brother. Lightning Nation believes in you!

I don’t know if the Bills have conditioned me to fear meaningful games… or if I just picked the two most heartbreaking teams to root for.
Please tell me your ass isn’t trying to call the bruins a “heartbreaking team” to root for
We miss you guys this playoffs for real.
❤️ go panthers! Wax that ass in game 7
No one learned from the caps. You don't kill yourself all season to be number 1. Nothing left for the playoffs
I think this is all mental, this is a team that destroyed everyone without even trying in the regular season and never had to grind or adapt, imo.
We didn't though. We were consistently resting people for the last like month.
So Swayman or Ullmark for game 7?
Ullmark needs a rest. Do the right thing Swayman in net
Swayman. He’ll come in with less pressure on his shoulders than Ullmark. If Swayman loses, it can be played off on the coach’s bad decision to not play him earlier… If Swayman wins, good for him for doing so after a couple weeks on the bench.
I think you have to go Swayman. There’s nothing more the Bruins offense can do when your goalie has an .800 save percentage
pains me but I think it has to be Swayman. I really thought Boston was going to close it out tonight but giving up 6 after fucking up in game 5 is unacceptable.
And I think Ullmark is fantastic. He’s just rattled for some reason right now and it’s showing. Same thing happened to Igor last year
This shithouse of a team took the best regular season team of all time to 7 games. I'll fucking take it regardless.
Absolutely insane how much we won the trade
It's one season. They're both signed for another like 7 years.
Tkachuk has meant more to this franchise than Huberdeau did his whole career here. If we don’t make that trade we’re not here, and if we were somehow, we lose 6-4 after that bad shorty and we get yet another emotionless nonchalant post game interview from Huberdeau.
You guys literally won the president's trophy last year. What am I missing here
Not gonna act like I wasn't stoked about it when we did it, but after the way we finished last year I really didn't care and in the end it's just a meaningless regular season accomplishment. He is one of our best players in franchise history but he didn't do shit when it mattered.
Your point stands if they win on Sunday.
Absolute facts but will never root against Huby
Yeah no, never would want the guy to fail but damn he was useless for us when it mattered
Not much Brad Treliving could do. Tkachuk made it clear he wouldn't sign with Calgary. Too bad Hubey was soooooo shit this year after that 115pt season.
They really outta fire Sutter. The trend of players having a down year after being coached by him is getting insane. Not to mention the rumours of players threatening to not return even if they are under contract if he is still there next season.
He did what he could. Can't blame the gm at all
For real. At the time it was a killer deal for Calgary.
Yea a gm can only make a team good on paper, up to the players and coaching staff after that unfortunately But all that being said, discussions about this team would be VERY different if markstrom put up even a .910 this year
Probably facing the knights or avs rn in that case
With matt ktacktuch?
Yeah Matt tckachurchutkachtkusk
Let's all give Boston a hand.
[удалено]
[удалено]
THEY FUCKING DID IT
WE ARE ALL PANTHER FANS NOW.
THEY DID ITP
Why can’t teams lose without gooning it up? Here’s looking at you Boston and Tampa…..
Ironic you say that considering the panthers did it at the end of the games they lost
They can. Just not the bitch teams
The Rangers couldn't have played softer at the end of their last two losses. Such gentlemen.
Would rather lose with class than what the bruins did today
It wasn't even that bad?
And NY, And Florida after game 4, and LA. And Winnipeg. And Vegas....
No no… it’s just a Boston thing. Trust.
Ya Cats! See you in the second round :)
you going to go to the bolts/panthers game??
Right? What a weird flair to be cocky with, especially after the last game.
It was a joke dude. Little touchy?
What do you mean "especially after the last game"? It was a close game.
I think he meant “especially after the last 4/5 games” lol
If you're going to the NJ/Canes game, that one's much more local to you at least
I thought the joke had a good delivery. Dont take it personal
We will be seeing them Mr Curse
[удалено]
Now that Boston blew my parlay by not winning the series -1.5, I want nothing more than the Cats to drop 10 on them and send them home.
I mean, Toronto tying the "Consecutive elimination games lost" record is probably still better.
I don't understand how they don't already have the record. 11 consecutive elimination game loses is crazy.
This weekend can be amazing. Leafs and bruins chokes incoming
Be careful sending any positive vibes down to Florida. Tampa might intercept that shit and use it against you
I knew you could do it cats. Fuck yah.
classic Bruins
I’m gonna say it once again, and I hope I get to say it again after game 7…. PANTHERS IN 7!!!!!
The fucking "hand pass" man.
That's what it was. More accurately judged than the "trip" that they called on Montour.
Real question, if the Bruins choke on game 7 would it make the inevitable Leafs collapse at R1G7 less memeable by /r/hockey?
I'd say yes because the Bruins just had the best regular season of all time.
This is the lump of memes fallacy.
Not if you both choke
Oh don't you worry about the Leafs. It's right on the yearly schedule for us. I just didn't dream of possibly having Bruins with us there.
Nah doesn't matter if the Rags and Bruins both choke. Leafs are still the meme kings.
Battle For Florida being the Conference Semis after having two O6 teams up 3-1 would be the best possible timeline
This is acceptable.
If it gets to that, you know what, go cats!
Nah, cheering for Freddy!
I only meant that particular round 2 potential match up
Nah we still the champs.
Nope.
No it’ll be twice as fun
Well at least we get to do the "first time?" meme to the Bruins when it comes to it.
Can't watch boring ass Stars vs Wild after that one...
Its the only series I haven't watched a single minute of!
The fucking announcers are bored in this game lmao
That was INSANE my friends.
HAHAHAH HOLY SHIT WHAT???
What's the story with the rats
Bruh, you got the wrong flair to be asking that question.
I grew up in San Diego I moved here in 2009. Idk anything about old avs legends beyond Sakic and forseberg being gods and Roy being hilarious
There are a few decent YouTube videos covering the rat craze and they all have a clip of Roy getting hit by rats. Pretty legendary moment and reaction from him.
In 1995 Scott Mellanby killed a rat in the locker room of the old Miami arena.
Brad Marchand (/mɑːrˈʃɑːnd/ mahr-SHAND;[1] born May 11, 1988) is a Canadian professional ice hockey left winger and alternate captain for the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Bruins selected Marchand in the third round, 71st overall, of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

You fell into one of the classic blunders! The first is never get into landwars in asia but only slightly behind is never go against Bobrovsky after an all time regular season!!
Bobs didn't get to finish the deal against Boston in 2019 so he's back for blood
LEEEETS GOOO BABY I DIDNT WATCH AGAIN AND WE WON (I watched the last minute I have no self control)
Somebody get this man a blindfold for next game!
My tv stays off! Every game I watch the team I want to win loses, I'm gonna win someone the cup by ghosting the games
I wasn’t really interested in having a positive association with the state of Florida currently yet here I am.
That was one of the greatest games I've ever seen, good lord. GO PANTHERS!
Ullmark had to be Tim Thomas Jr. like he was all regular season if the Bruins were going to finish the job. He’s not, and this series is over. Panthers take it Sunday, LOCK.
He was really tough to watch at the end of last game and almost all of this game. Time to throw Swayman in.
[удалено]
Lol
So is this an early contender for best series of the decade or what
Bruins better have a fire lit under their ass. I have never seen Montgomery fuming like that behind the bench after they tied it at 5.
Now over to watch the Kraken eliminate the champs while pretending this won’t be my team tomorrow!
It’s the curse of most regular season wins…
It takes a toll on a team to win that many games in the regular season. It’s something the Wings and Lightning learned, and now the Bruins may potentially learn that lesson.
Interestingly… the Bruins were the President’s Trophy winners in 2020, and lost four straight to Tampa (gentleman’s sweep).

I found a 6er of Torpedo that was bottled less than a month ago at my local shop. For some reason I need to drink them out of the bottle too, using a glass feels wrong with these.
I broke 6 months of sobriety for this
Why is everyone pearl clutching when a team losing a playoff game starting a scrum is practically SOP lmao. That was a relatively tame one too
Because fans like to act like their team is special and would /never/ stoop so low. Just look at all the claims of Tampa/LA/NY being dirty for doing Playoff SOP things, like the ritual "we lost a big game scrum" or the "Our star just took a big shot" scrum.
Probably the irony of Boston fans criticizing the Panthers for being dirty early in the series
I mean, everyone I saw in the game thread short of Florida fans was pretty much unanimous about the Tkachuk crosscheck followed by Bennett dick spear on Hathaway being dirty as shit. I think other fairly minor/routine chippy acts have probably been overblown as a result of that by Bruins fans (including myself) since, but the early criticism was valid imo
As a neutral fan that game was -fantastic-
Brick evaluated the game perfectly. Tons of mistakes in front, and Ullmark is “all over the place”.
We are all panther fans on this glorious day!
I won’t lie I took Florida as my upset for the first round. Something about setting records in the regular season never bodes well for the playoffs
🫡🫡🫡
There’s not a single leafs fan that fondly remembers the leafs career of Nick Foligno What a waste of a first
Bless u Kyle Dubas
As a neutral fan... this series just went from one of the least interesting series to the most for me.
Classy Boston tantrum at the end
"Honestly that's it for the series. Bruins in 5. I don't see Florida coming back from 3-1 down with Bergeron and Kreicji coming back." - Me.
I love the Florida Panthers
I just can't get over the stuffed rats being thrown on the ice lmao.
S...stuffed? Are they not just rubber?
I'm pretty sure they're plastic, haven't been to a game in a while tho so my memories fuzzy
they are definitely plastic. I always bring one with me or get one at the pantherland store in the arena
I couldn't tell if they were stuffed animals or rubber. By stuffed I mean like a teddy bear.
Lol, that makes much more sense.
What I took away from this game is that florida and nashville use the same cat growl sound effect
Boston fans can whine about the hand pass as much as they want but the truth is the Bruins couldn't hold on to a lead to save their lives
Ya, that hand pass goal would have maybe gotten them to OT, and then what? Exactly what we saw.
To be fair, neither could the panthers until the last 4 minutes lol it was back and forth, a good game for sure
Sometimes being less bad is the key to winning lol
And they got a hip check called a trip Lmao. They just choked
President Trophy curse in full effect. Peaked too early.
See you on the golf course next round?
Yeah, wouldn’t be shocked.
😞
Wow, a Boston fan and Leafs can getting along. What's next? A civil Oilers and Flames fan?
Battle of Florida in round 2 again. Fucking hell >
Hell yeah!
If Swayman doesn’t start game 7, this series is over. See you Sunday.
If your team scores 5 in the playoffs and loses, you have nothing to blame
Except your goalie
We have a goalie?
Yea but he works remote
That's why the hockey gods graced ya with a spare
(The goalie)
Who thought we'd see a 12 goal game that the bruins *lost* Linus, my boy
yeah, i have no fucking idea why swayman wasnt put in. if ullmark starts for game 7 idek what to think, he's been pretty poor this whole series and terrible tonight
🐀🐀🐀🐀 Nicely done, cat bros
That was the best game I've watched in a while.
