      Swayman gets outshot 4 to 1 on average. He definitely doesn’t deserve the blame. I also feel bad for Carolina. They outshot the Rangers on average 4 to 1 as well but Igor Shesterkin just bails them out time and time again. Then in overtime a lucky bounce here and there and all of a sudden you get to move on.

      While you could blame the Bruins players for not helping Swayman out games 2-4, I can’t say you can blame them for this one. They died, went to hell, and came back to try and win this game for Swayman.
      That first goal by Lundell; dude took a hard shot that brought him down and Florida just happened to be in perfect position to take advantage, that second goal… idk what do you even say about that second goal? I’m looking for the comment section to help me how to describe that shot from Forsling

      @@TrueMr.Quinn1 Sway had 2 bodies infront. Forsling shot that between the legs of the defender and found a tiny hole. Maybe Sway should have hugged that post, but he couldn't track the shooter because his line of sight was blocked. It's a bit of a lucky goal. But in the playoffs, every shot has the potential to be a backbreaker.

    Carter Verheaghe man, i don't know why he's never quoted immediately amongst the very top players of the NHL but the number of clutch goals & assists he puts out during the season and at key playoffs moments like that is truly something to behold.
    That sneaky poke-check pass just after a shot to where Barkov is gonna be, poking amongst 3 Bruins with 2 of them with their sticks already on the puck or so so close to max out the pressure that is every bit as impressive and skilful to me than whatever speedy deke a McDavid can pull off. Some would brush this off saying "oh he's just lucky there" but that's the thing with Carter, have a serious look at his game guys it's never ever just pure luck, it's a constant creation of chances and a mastery of those seemingly insignificant details that are in fact so so hard to control at that level & speed and so often make it work. That's what separates him from so many average players, from almost all of them actually. Carter "clutch" Verheaghe.

    As a Bruins fan, it was rough. The 1st goal I think Swayman wasn't ready for. It looked like one that he would put his body in front of or shift a bit more toward the left, but he barely reacted. That 2nd goal though; just the most unfortunate combination of screened by own defensemen, puck on end, no looked between defenses legs. No way in hell is that one on Swayman, not this game and not the series. He was the main reason we got this far, no doubt. I get we like to take our time with shooting to let stuff develop, but there are some times (like our PP at the end of game 4 vs Panths) where we just needed to rip some at net. Swayman starts 12 of 13 games, we only have more SOG in 2 games total. A really heartbreaking end, but still hopeful going into the offseason.

Looking at that play he can’t see that puck so his entire decision has to be based on what he can see, which is that forsling is pointed away from then net taking a contested sharp angle shot, 9 times out of ten that’s going to be a 5-hole shot that doesn’t get off the ice due to how forsling has to shoot it behind his body like that, only the puck happened to be on end so it got the lift it needed to go high. Zero chance for swayman to have guessed that the puck was on end, the only way he makes that save is luck, nothing to do with his skill as a goalie.

    The Bruins were simply out played by a superior Hockey team. Other than Goaltending, which I’d give Boston a slight edge, the Panthers are just better than the Bruins in every aspect of the game. A team like Boston can’t win a playoff series against a team like Florida unless everyone is contributing.Too many guys who we relied on during the season for secondary scoring just disappeared. If the Bruins are going to get better they need a few more legitimate Top 6 forwards starting with a Center who can actually win a face off. Getting bigger & more physical would help too. Boston was playing like it was the regular season & the Panthers seemed to be just pushing them around.

    Swayman was the only reason Boston stayed in the series. Whoever blames him doesn't know shit about hockey.

    Swayman did everything he could, considering the Bs can only score 2 goals a game, the only exception being Game 1. Nobody is going to win the Cup scoring 2 a game.

    Both teams played very well, no reason to make wholesale changes over a series that could have easily went either way.

    I don't like how far ahead the eastern conference is getting from the western conference... like.. they're a full 2 scheduled games ahead of the last schedule match up in EDM vs VAN... feels like they're trying to give the eastern boys a rest before they go up against the western teams in the final

    Florida/New York is the right and just conference final match up. New York has to have the edge, but Florida thrives on opportunistic goals. On paper, New York. On the ice, I have no idea.

    Carolina is a team with plenty of traitors, coach being one. That's my take.

    The biggest problem the Bruins have is their anemic when it comes to putting the puck in the net. The Bruins need to trade one of their goaltenders and get in return a real first line center. Seeing Debrusk is highly likely to be on another team's roster next season, the Bruins will only need one center to feed Marsh and Pasta. That's because they are the only players left on the team that have the skill needed to put the puck in the net. Now let's look at the biggest elephant in the room. Who is the one who paid a fourth line center 5.5 million and is going to let one of their best players leave to free agency. Hmmmm who can that be, Oh that would be Sweeney. Who has three first round picks and only hit on one. Granted it was one of the shallowest drafts in recent years, but with three picks, you could have traded one and bring in a proven player. I guess Sweeney doesn't like first round draft picks, seeing he traded all the Bruins first round picks for the next couple years for players who are no longer here. I know he is Cam's buddy but maybe it's time for a new GM.

    That wasn't a painful way to lose. Who in their right ming would be upset about what the Bruins did this year. Never expected them to make it as far as they did. I'm not mad.

    I have no hope in beating FL. 'Gers were already running out of mojo and stamina in games 4 and 5. Game 6 was better, but also very lucky against a much faster team with moderate-to-good goaltending. Now, we're getting some much needed rest. Great. Maybe we'll get back Chytil and/or Wheeler. And please Pete, bench that useless clown Rempe. Anyone but Rempe. Back to game 6, I challenge any Rangers fan reading this to tell me they weren't deeply concerned about their play going forward after the two game losses and down 3-1 after two periods.
    You saw it on almost every play, right? Same as games 4 and 5, they were being beaten to every puck, check, passing lane, etc. Were it not for Shesty's magic, it would have been at least 6-1 early or mid third. Remember the huge sighs of relief on each Kreider goal? I sure do. With introspect, those were not good feelings because everything prior was terror. You were living the nightmare of every year starting with (for me) 1979 through 2023, excepting 1994. And even in 1994 you know damn well how many times they came frighteningly close to losing, especially to the Devils. Their defense kept collapsing and Richter was handing out rebounds like burgers at a backyard barbecue. Don't at me. I loved Mikey The Brick Wall and everyone else, but shit was going south for the whole team. Again, were it not for a little magic and a lot of luck...mostly luck...we'd have lost. I mean, I don't even think we can be sure Mess touched the puck on that cup-winner against the Nucks. Seriously.
    Speaking of the Devs, I don't understand it, but last year the 'Gers did almost this exact same thing - crazy good in games 1 and 2, bombed the next three games, made a comeback in game 6, then got trashed in game 7. And I'll go back further. In 2014 the 'Gers were doing great all playoffs and made it to SCF against the Kings. They came out like thoroughbreds in game 1 first period. The remainder of the game and series they got trashed except a meager 2-1 win in game 4. Maybe that's unfair. Kreider is the only current player who was on the team in 2014.
    Of course there's been much turnaround since then, but it appears to be a pattern. Or maybe it's just hockey.

      I agree with benching Rempe. He's a liability, especially when the refs target him the way they have. Of course, we were concerned after Game 5, one of their worst of the year, but it wasn't a trend. Game 4 was the Rangers best game of the series in terms of Grade A chances for and against.
      Moreover, you can't read too much into a series against the Canes, who play a style unlike any other team. They dump it in and bring all five fwd to bottle you up, and sometimes you just have to make the safe play to keep the puck outside. You wind up defending a lot, but you're not giving up Grade A chances.
      My biggest concern is the health of some of the Rangers best players. It appears that Chytil is still dealing with concussion issues, though they never tell you anything specific. He would make that 3rd line a threat to score but I doubt we'll see him. It's obvious that Fox is not 100%. Kreider was listed as day-to-day, so he's probably got some nagging injury issue. I'm not sure about Bread and Mika either. The Canes were obviously cross-checking with intent to injure throughout that series, and the refs didn't stop them. When they didn't call anything on that play where Burns literally broke his stick against Mika's back, the tactic was being validated rather than discouraged. That's playoff hockey, but it turns the playoffs into a war of attrition.
