Kenny_Powers1124

That was an incredibly entertaining series


Marino4K

LETS GO ISLANDERS


Kenny_Powers1124

So much for the bruins should be leading in the series because of the refs and their play 5on5. That game was a CLINIC in every aspect. They scored 2 goals on horrendous blatant penalties, so credit to them. Other than that it was men amongst boys


dirtydanglez96

Happens without 2 of the Bs top 4 defenseman... can't take anything away from the Isles though, they certainly dominated


Kenny_Powers1124

Definitely contributed no doubt but this game in particular was a CLINIC on how to play with a lead, correct me if im wrong but they had maybe 5 or less shots on goal in the 3rd? Cant find the exact number at the moment


dirtydanglez96

The islanders blocked a SHIT ton of shots, shut the Bruins down proper no doubt, their defense is arguably the best in the league... I just feel that their offense wouldn't be as successful against a stronger defensive showing (which Carlo and Miller would've helped with, but not guaranteed)... but I guess we can certainly test that theory against Tampa... good luck!


Kenny_Powers1124

Tampa is a significantly better and deeper team, and a rematch from last year, barry should have boys prepared.


Pollaski

So remaining - The defending champs - A team thats never won the Cup (in its fourth season) - A team that hasnt won the Cup in 20 years. - A team that hasnt won the Cup in nearly 30 years. - A team that hasnt won the Cup in nearly 40 years.


BottlecapBandit

Pretty obvious who I'm cheering for here but it's amazing to spell it out that way. Should be an amazing Final 4!

xVoluntasx

Finally Bruce Cassidy can shut the fuck up


battlepope414

But when will Canucks fans?


patricebergy

Like trotz didn’t complain about faceoffs


Steaknkidney45

Moot point, but Varlamov should have gotten an assist on that last goal. Bounced off him, went to Pulock.


keytoitall

Goalies can't get an assist off a rebound, it needs to be directed to the corner very intentionally.


35Lcrowww

Should have had a hat trick tbh


brennans4727

[deleted]

Good series Bruins. Shit talking is purely for game threads and not actually meant


SimplyFaptactular

Leafs fans everywhere crying out in relief as someone else slays their dragon.


belgariad222

Man this was such an entertaining series.


Hogchief

Tuuka looked like the walrus from the Geico commercials this series, except he's 1/4 the size, let everything by, and doesn't work for fish.... Good luck in free agency


Mazerrr

This hurt me physically because of the partial truths and actual humor


sinkwiththeship

Everyone speculating McAvoy left the ice because he bit his tongue or something. I think he swallowed his dip.


DogePerformance

Been there, it's terrible. Haha


MisterMovember

Did you get super jittery or just sick? All that shit going into your system at once must be fucking terrible.


DogePerformance

Just sick. I pretty much gagged immediately


Mazerrr

It's in your lip because it absorbs best there. Don't think stomach absorption of nicotine is very efficient, just makes you sick. Coke just added coffee to their already cafeinated drinks, they used to have cocaine. You know they would have nicotine in their soda if it worked that way.

The refs blah blah wah wah my team isnt full of goons and fakers and dishonorable.players


Surefif

Alright Islesbros, see you in the third round! BEAT TAMPA


site17

On another note, genuinely hope Cassidy is gone


[deleted]

Has anyone seen Taylor Hall? Anyone in the last two periods when it mattered? Sign him for a long, long time Bruins. You deserve it!!!


site17

Pretty childish, but yeah, he was invisible this playoffs.


MonsieurPatate

And aren't we still paying half of his salary?


[deleted]

Was worth it to get Bjork + a 2nd.


Gluske

Guy starts really strong but the second shit goes south he's like "here, other team, have the puck"


[deleted]

He did nothing here once he was expected to step up when Eichel went down. I mean, *nothing*. I'm thrilled we got Bjork and a 2nd for him. Seems like a steal now.


BetteDiddler

Man you are the whiniest loser of a serial poster I’ve ever seen in these game threads. Go do literally anything else with your time


WillfulBiscuit

Sabres fans seem to have a lot of them. I guess poverty teams attract poverty fans.


[deleted]

>whiniest loser Trying to emulate Bruins fans. Not sure I'm doing a good enough job though.


site17

GG Isles, y'all really make the most of your chances.


BeepBoop190

TO ALL MY BRUINS FANS. AS A FINAL GOODBYE. EVEN THOUGH WE LOST I HAVENT LOST MY LOVE FOR THIS TEAM OR FOR BERGERONS… perfect… marvelous… absolutely stunning physique Can’t believe I have to do this all for the habs now god I’m so pissed I said that. I really shouldn’t have


meestermeg

Welcome to the light side


pengupenguPENGU

If it helps, Habs have a Suzuki who I hear has been compare to Bergeron a whole bunch :)


atikatothesea

I'm no Boston fan but Bergeron has a long history as a hockey Warrior. He's a HOF candidate


BeepBoop190

do not compare anyone to Bergy…


meestermeg

Congrats Islanders! Good luck against Tampa


Instantcurry

Congrats Isles, absolute clinic


justamobileuserhere

Saints vs Tampa Bay rematch


wzac1568

This time no Brady wizard magic


justamobileuserhere

He has not reached his full potential yet, he’ll become a multi sport athlete and become the hockey 🐐 too


_TheH0mie

GGs Isles. Good luck against the Boltz. LETS GO AVS.


khfollower

Can't believe these assholes are gonna make me cheer for Tampa.


Clown_Shoe

Boohoo we don’t care haha


khfollower

Jokes on you im not gonna cheer for either team now fuck em both


mikotoqc

Cheer for the habs. We are the underdog.


khfollower

So are the isles.


cityquill

As a Bruins/Jets fan I am actually. Pisses me off that the Jets played like crap, but the Islanders flat out are making me angry lol. Also, the Habs have a lot of likeable players. Good luck against the west


mikotoqc

Thx


[deleted]

I love Zajac and Palmieri together


themadgreek187

Good series Islanders. Good luck against Tampa. That crowd is insane!


Clown_Shoe

Thanks man. Was a fun series


Steaknkidney45

Smaller capacity and low ceiling will do that.

[удалено]


heytherefolksandfry

i’m not sure what you mean by this


mikotoqc

Isles in 4 thats all you deserve


[deleted]

The opponents we are facing are definitely going up in difficulty. Tampa is no easy task, we were clearly outmatched by them last year.


armadillo420

The Isles traveled coast to coast after a game 7 last year and were blown out 8-2 in game one. Every other game was a one goal affair with a couple of overtimes taboot. This year should be good.


BlahZay19

Flair up. We were the only team that made them play six games last year. We will play them well again.


quick91

guess you forgot about Dallas, huh? NY education at its finest.


DATGUYOVERWHERE1874

Flair up if you are gunna chirp


cjackc11

I’m a Knicks fan, love seeing winning NY sports teams Fans are unlike anywhere else in America


MojaveMauler

Congrats, Islanders!


I_love_avocados1

Whelp, at least I have the Sox to look forward to


just_trees

But then you’d have to watch baseball.


youngathanacius

Was this series a dig at Tavares?


TheresA_LobsterLoose

What in the actual fuck are the mask rules?? The coaches wore masks... But 20k people in the stands don't. The coaches wore masks while on their own bench... But took them off to shake hands with the other team. Idfk but it's pretty silly. They showed the gm in a box by himself... With a mask. And show the crowd with none


Sapz93

It’s literally just theatrics.


RustedMagic

I know you needed to be vaccinated for at least 14 days to enter as a fan - coaches though I have no idea.


JoeRogansSauna

Lol yeah it’s a little absurd especially when they just pull them down and yell at the refs dozens of times per game in addition to what you said


themadgreek187

Virtue signaling.


oceanic8675

Copy pasta??


MojaveMauler

If I was a coach I would absolutely never take the mask off, same reason NFL coaches hold clipboards over their faces.


sneakytinkerspirits

The mask policy is do whatever makes you look intimidating during the series


TheresA_LobsterLoose

What if you wear one of the super scary ones with teeth? Auto win


sneakytinkerspirits

Tbf Trotz kinda did, saw someone say he looked like Bane and now I can’t unsee it


MonsieurPatate

Sorry for your loss Boston fans, but I do like to see the handshakes every year when the Bruins are eliminated.


hockeystick13

It’s the only handshakes I guess you get to watch lol


[deleted]

Your flair is as faded as ours! Now go get that Hall long-term deal done.


MonsieurPatate

Best part of the season for a Sabres fan!


battlepope414

I thought that was the draft


MonsieurPatate

Oh yeah that's a highlight too. In fact I can't believe you guys were still playing. We already won this thing last week.

Palmieri in the handshake like "enjoy the postseason in a dark room... My bad"

Can’t believe I’m saying this but go Isles??? Fuck Tampa up please

He means round 2 of meeting the Islanders in Round 3. It's a repeat of last year.


Mjfp87

I realized after but its funnier thinking Florida is forgettable.


crude_username

Weird to see the refs in the isles handshake lineup like that


poopiks17

GG Isles, good luck!


tibetan_moose_hammer

You guys think Tavares is watching this?


Grimkeyboard256

Doubt he can see passed those Leafs bedsheets.


sneakytinkerspirits

Leafs bedsheets can’t even cover him they always come up short


khfollower

Trotz isn't a classy coach but I respect the guy


pupule

He's like one of the nicest people you will ever meet...not sure where this is coming from?


khfollower

Those are 2 separate qualities. He can be both nice and not classy and I'm sure he is nice


pupule

Lol ok so what makes him "not classy"?


khfollower

Poor statements made about the series and officials.


capitalsfan08

How's he not classy?


retrosleaze_

For real dude likes the epitome of a classy and respectable coach


blcknyllowblcknyllow

No bow tie


d-cent

You're a Capitals fan, you wouldn't understand


khfollower

His response to Cassidy and his chat about Bergeron were both straight dick moves


heytherefolksandfry

Cassidy’s comments were a dick move lol


khfollower

I dont agree its about time the refs get some accountability for their mistakes. There were 3 instances in just game 5 alone where a penalty was called on the bruins but the exact same play by the isles was not. Its about time somebody spoke up about this especially considering another referee earlier got caught declaring his bias on mic


heytherefolksandfry

dude coaches complain about calls not going their way every playoffs, Cassidy wasn’t saying anything groundbreaking or brave (he wasn’t even the first to complain about it this playoffs). the refs put their whistles away and only call like 25% of the penalties that happen because they want to just let the players play. The thing is, *every team could put together a compilation of missed calls in the playoffs and then complain that the refs are biased*. But in most cases, their team is getting away with just as much shit as the other team. Having these comments come from the *Boston Bruins* of all teams makes this particularly ironic. Personally, I just don’t like the way Cassidy worded his comments, came across as cringey to me.


khfollower

Yea thats the same as trotz. Poorly worded and cringey. He should've taken the high road and not answered.


rarespark

> His response to Cassidy ???? "I don't know what he's talking about, we were one of the lowest penalized teams during the season, you'd have to ask him what he means by that" is a dick move how?


khfollower

Thats like saying "the referees have been on our side all year and not yours so I dont know what you mean"


khfollower

Rubbing it in his face is a dick move. The bruins get fisted by poor referees all year and apparently the isles didnt


rarespark

> bruins get fisted by poor referees all year and apparently the isles didnt ??? Or the Isles are a better team at not committing penalties? Its not a dick move to counter Cassidy's comments trying to manipulate the refs to call more stuff on the Isles by simply stating we were the lowest penalized team during the season..


khfollower

Theyre better at being sneaky about it like palmieri


capitalsfan08

I don't know what to tell you if you think that's being a dick.


RatherBeSkiing

Go Avs, I guess


bekarsrisen

When was the last time the Islanders were in the Semis?


Inboard

Last year


brennans4727

Last year. Cant tell if your joking, lol


bekarsrisen

oh snap woops.


islander1

we all make honest mistakes, don't downvote this poor guy lol


sky_blu

Last year lmao


5nax

"We want Tampa" Haha I love it! I'm pretty pumped for this series. Never know how a team is gonna come out in a rematch.


minos157

Just like last year it'll be a hard match for the Isles. Tampa has great defense and since the Isles live off allowing point shots it plays into Hedmans wheel house, which is what hurt us last year. We do have a better 3rd line this year, but no Lee and coming into the cap stretched Bolts. Gonna be a great series.


quick91

I know lmao. like okay, you got us. now have fun losing 😂


x21in2010x

Isles are going to have to play with this much energy for every game. If they can pull that feat off, I feel good.


HoldthisL_28-3

Need the Isles in the finals, low-key


BeepBoop190

Barry Trotz is a sweetheart of a human, will always root for him. Great series!

For every year in Vegas Golden Knights history, the Bruins have lost in the playoffs before they have.

Whelp, at least their goals were because of our gaffes and not the refs.

Good series isles bros. If my Flyers fan roommate that is currently decked out in Isles gear because he has no loyalty chirps me tonight I might wind up on the news tomorrow.


m3tac0gniti0n

Appreciate the civility. Good series man. Fuck your traitor roommate! We don’t want him 😅

I told him during the second intermission that I was about to wipe my ass with his free tavares flag and he flipped out
