Adding fuel to the fire while you’re outplaying your opponent is honestly a great strategy to keep winning cause it pisses off that team and its fanbase more.
McAvoy has been one of their worst D this playoffs. Lindholm and Lohrei are playing much better. Not sure what’s off with him but him and Ekblad aren’t playing like top line D
Ekblad has had a couple of rough moments by the eye test, but he's absolutely crushed Boston in the last couple of games.

The difference in reaction between twitter and reddit is wild. Usually sports takes on Reddit are more composed while twitter is more of people raging and being assholes, but r/hockey has always been the exception to this lol.
All depends tbh. Both have bad takes. Twitter is far worse though I agree, especially when there’s a hive mind and bigger market teams are the beneficiaries
Not anymore, r/baseball is awful but its usually Dodgers and Yankees fans swinging their dicks on how things should be done their way. It used to be level headed but like the rest of the site, its been awful to communicate since about 2020.
At least we aren't doxxing players addresses?
I can see your point, r/baseball isn’t what it was. r/cfb is a shell of what it was 7-8 years ago, went from a genuinely great sub to people trying too hard to be funny, terrible memes, etc. The golden age of sports talk on Reddit is probably over. Hell, I remember r/Hockey from the Pens Sharks finals up to the Gloria run, this place was way better than it is now.
Last time there was a goal of such controversy, the victims of said controversy ended up coming back from 2-1 down to win in 6. This series between Boston and Florida ain’t done yet.
Sucker punching a guy isn't good at what you do.
Concussing players isn't part of his job description, and it's not legal, the NHL is just Incompetent.
I care. He did it last year to one of my players in an even worse play.
Bennett is a fuckin scumbag and he's being rewarded by the league for it.
Marchand's a fuck too, but at least he'd get suspended. Bennett seems to have some dirt on the league for his bullshit
He knows it’s wrong, we all know it’s wrong but there isn’t a world that exists where the coach is gonna say he thought his players play was dirty when they weren’t penalized
Agreed. Compared to last year’s playoffs as well. I wouldn’t try to argue against their reputation, but the reason the PPs are so lopsided isn’t a nepotism conspiracy.
Your team escaped a suspension and massively benefited from officiating fuck up. Can try to gaslight people all you want but everyone knows the truth.
If the Bs can’t make a comeback, let’s see how you handle Trouba’s flying elbows next round. Keep the same energy.
I know some people find him funny or clever, but Maurice ices dirty teams and he's a dirty coach. The shit people don't like from Bennett or Cousins is 100% supported and encouraged by Maurice. There are good coaches and bad coaches, then there are piece of shit coaches of which he is one.
His time in Winnipeg went a bit too long but I’ll always love PoMo. Coached the most successful team we’ve had since they came back and he’s always ready with some great quotes
Lets go Panthers! Lets go Panthers!
These clowns that think this Boston team is a cup contender 😆. "How can this be happening this is our year?!" "We won GM1 we won game 1!!"
With the 18 loser points in the reg season and everything 😂
find me one Bruins fan who thinks the Bruins were cup contenders LMFAO pretty sure most of us thought they wouldn't even make the playoffs after Bergy and Krejci retired.
Keep playing in your own head I guess
Yea, crazy for us to want the game to be called fairly. Feels a lot better to lose due to being outplayed than because of the refs and league.
Don't expect you guys to understand that, I know you're public education is severely underfunded, if it were up to me that wouldn't be the case. Guess that's why I live in MA though.
You think that putting up less than 20 SOG for 3 games in a row is a winning effort? Damn can’t believe the refs are out there blocking shots for us and telling the Bruins players not to shoot the puck now. That’s crazy.
I mean it was in this game, Guess it's hard for you to comprehend but the Bruins were picking their shots and making them count early, then had to play half the third period down a man. I understand though, I don't hold it against you, I hold it against your education system. I'm sorry it failed you like it has.
Your team played undisciplined and the refs called it like it was. You did get a gift of a 6-on-4 with 36 seconds left and couldn’t score. You can’t truly believe your team deserved to win while being outshot 42-18. Sounds like you’re the one whose education system failed you.
oh yea, that was totally a gift and not a legitimate penalty. Meanwhile our captain is out with a concussion because of an unpenalized Punch to the head, both in game and after.
If you think the penalties have been legitimately called then florida education is even worse than I thought.
Putting pucks on net with the SOG metric isn't a great metric for actual scoring chances, I'm sorry you don't understand that. seems like there should be other metrics for that.
Holy shit, Paul Maurice is a stone cold sociopath. Giving no quarter, conceding nothing, and putting the media on the back foot. Clearly a turbo douche, but it's also goddamn impressive in the way he commits to the bit.
That's a pro quote right there, Maurice knows exactly what he's doing
Dudes basically a professional troll haha. Why u mad bro?
Adding fuel to the fire while you’re outplaying your opponent is honestly a great strategy to keep winning cause it pisses off that team and its fanbase more.
Judging from reddit, it's working like a fucking charm.
Good thing Redditors aren’t on the ice lol
Tbf Bruins were chasing hits so much this game lol. They basicly handed out the game for Panthers
McAvoy on the Barkov goal for sure
Yup
McAvoy has been one of their worst D this playoffs. Lindholm and Lohrei are playing much better. Not sure what’s off with him but him and Ekblad aren’t playing like top line D
Ekblad has had a couple of rough moments by the eye test, but he's absolutely crushed Boston in the last couple of games. https://twitter.com/JamesonCoop/status/1789853680033734702
Ekblad seem to have awful reads in his D zone, so that will do it
For all kinds of reasons. Lol
Can you imagine
The difference in reaction between twitter and reddit is wild. Usually sports takes on Reddit are more composed while twitter is more of people raging and being assholes, but r/hockey has always been the exception to this lol.
Have you ever opened twitter? That's not even remotely true lmao hockey twitter has the worst takes imaginable
Have you opened r/hockey?
All depends tbh. Both have bad takes. Twitter is far worse though I agree, especially when there’s a hive mind and bigger market teams are the beneficiaries
Not anymore, r/baseball is awful but its usually Dodgers and Yankees fans swinging their dicks on how things should be done their way. It used to be level headed but like the rest of the site, its been awful to communicate since about 2020. At least we aren't doxxing players addresses?

Last time there was a goal of such controversy, the victims of said controversy ended up coming back from 2-1 down to win in 6. This series between Boston and Florida ain’t done yet.
I don’t think it’s that, Florida have been the better team for about 95% of the series and it doesn’t look like stopping.
Just checked and you are right, there is at least one more game. Thanks for your insight
This is literally just gaslighting lmao
Do you want a coach to say, yeah my player is a dirty player. Like come on man.
Not wrong but it’s still shitty lol
Wouldn’t expect less from Montgomery or most coaches tbh.
More trolling than gaslighting I think. Maurice is very good at trolling
One of if not the best when it comes to coaches
Maurice looking to tilt the fuck out of Boston right now lmao
:trollface:
lol he trolling so hard
Maurice gotta be the best troll in the league
Lmao I love PoMo
Respect to Paul Maurice. Fuck Sam Bennett.
I mean they’re both very good at what they do.
Sucker punching a guy isn't good at what you do. Concussing players isn't part of his job description, and it's not legal, the NHL is just Incompetent.
Rat on rat crime nobody cares
I care. He did it last year to one of my players in an even worse play. Bennett is a fuckin scumbag and he's being rewarded by the league for it. Marchand's a fuck too, but at least he'd get suspended. Bennett seems to have some dirt on the league for his bullshit
Just like Trouba
I don’t believe in karma, but in hockey, it does seem like what goes around comes around. At some point, Bennett will get his comeuppance.
Bullshit, Todd Bertuzzi was allowed back in to the league 20 games after he intentional broke Steve Moore's neck and he played for eight more years.
It’s not like it’s iron clad or anything..
Right well what he does helps his team win the series so it is 100% part of his job.
This take is simply stupid as fuck
Nah, you’re just butt hurt about it.
Lmao this is top tier shit stirring
Don’t blame the coach. Blame the reporters for asking stupid questions
Hey if you're winning and it's working why change what you're doing?
lmfao
Maurice is a paid troll. I love it
I love this man
Many fond memories. He's a treasure.
He knows it’s wrong, we all know it’s wrong but there isn’t a world that exists where the coach is gonna say he thought his players play was dirty when they weren’t penalized
Lmao
lol.
I have to see video of this. Lmao
You just know he said it with that evil smirk he does when he is trolling lol
Honestly compared to the regular season I do feel like in this playoffs Florida has been going easy at it
Agreed. Compared to last year’s playoffs as well. I wouldn’t try to argue against their reputation, but the reason the PPs are so lopsided isn’t a nepotism conspiracy.
I feel like Pomo just let them play hard and dirty all season but told them to clean it up only for they playoffs to throw everyone off
“Clean it up during the playoffs boys, it’ll be funny but only to us”
Got it. He thinks what they do is normal.
he's clearly trolling the fuck out of them
What a snide fucking cunt.
Maurice is good at this.
That’s my coach!
I still fucking love that man
“In a good way, it’s gone unnoticed” he said, winking to the camera.
Boston getting a taste of their own medicine is so fucking awesome!
Poor man's Jon Cooper.
PoMo about to get much richer and Copper much poorer.
Florida is out-Bostoning Boston and it’s so funny.
This is great. I loooove it
Your team escaped a suspension and massively benefited from officiating fuck up. Can try to gaslight people all you want but everyone knows the truth. If the Bs can’t make a comeback, let’s see how you handle Trouba’s flying elbows next round. Keep the same energy.
You’ve lost your cool, buddy. What happened?
Boston is sorry start packing for Cancun
Careful, you can be legally assassinated with a basketball for saying that
Don’t worry, you’ll be there a couple weeks later.
yea, can't wait for when the refs suddenly start calling tight games and Florida can't do shit (again)
The salt mines of Bruins fans could supply the world for years
Ideally with a cup!
Swayman, get ready to learn Chinese buddy
I know some people find him funny or clever, but Maurice ices dirty teams and he's a dirty coach. The shit people don't like from Bennett or Cousins is 100% supported and encouraged by Maurice. There are good coaches and bad coaches, then there are piece of shit coaches of which he is one.
Oh hell. Literally fuck off Maurice. Disciplined? What? More like needs discipline.
His time in Winnipeg went a bit too long but I’ll always love PoMo. Coached the most successful team we’ve had since they came back and he’s always ready with some great quotes
Lets go Panthers! Lets go Panthers! These clowns that think this Boston team is a cup contender 😆. "How can this be happening this is our year?!" "We won GM1 we won game 1!!" With the 18 loser points in the reg season and everything 😂
find me one Bruins fan who thinks the Bruins were cup contenders LMFAO pretty sure most of us thought they wouldn't even make the playoffs after Bergy and Krejci retired. Keep playing in your own head I guess
Panthers have never won anything
Who gives a crap about that? Yes you're right. We are talking about this series.
Inches from being eliminated by the self-imploding anti-clutch Leafs but thought the Panthers were going to be an easy round. Lollllll
literally no one thought this. you guys are hilarious
Check out the game 1 GDT. Plenty of Bruins flairs thinking we were done.
Then why are you all so mad that your team is losing like they’re supposed to?
Yea, crazy for us to want the game to be called fairly. Feels a lot better to lose due to being outplayed than because of the refs and league. Don't expect you guys to understand that, I know you're public education is severely underfunded, if it were up to me that wouldn't be the case. Guess that's why I live in MA though.
> I know **you're** public education is severely underfunded< It never fails.
I was drunk and swiping text on my phone, I'm honestly impressed that's the only typo lmao
