ECQF: Boston Bruins [ATL1] vs Florida Panthers [WC2] - Panthers Win 4-3

[Johnny Makarov]

Talk about karma. Remember when we said Hall was the derpiest derp in the NHL?
and then we got gifted Sam Bennett! lol

Tkachuk has showed up for 1 out of 4 games so far. Sounds about average for him.

[midniteowl]

Bruins Win!!!

[Paulie Walnuts]

Why are they the Florida Panthers and not Miami Panthers?

I'm sick of the drive by bull#### pot shots at the Panthers as a franchise. What they were in previous eras is not who they are now. Either talk about the game or get the #### out of the thread.

Jesus chill dude. We make fun of the Coyotes all the time and Jordan and Scrop barely make a peep.
It's your own fault for cheering for 2 franchises who crap the bed in the playoffs.

I wouldn’t call it “crapping the bed” against the Bruins who set a record for best regular season team ever, who are missing hall of famer Bergeron and still are slotting a former Hart trophy winner onto line 3.

It would have taken a literal miracle to beat the Bruins in round 1 this year. It might take a miracle for anyone to beat them at all.

Well with all the talk and praise Tkachuk has gotten all year you would think they would at least put up a fight.

and yes hopefully no miracles will come. I put $250 on the Bruins to win the cup!

Because they don't play in Miami? They play west of Fort Lauderdale.

Tkachuk, Bennett and Montour are basically the only guys who have showed up for this series at this point.

If I was a Panthers fan I'd be more pissed at PoMo and whoever runs the PP over there.
1. Starts Bob over Lyon
2. 2/41 on the PP over the past 13 playoff games

Ekblad and Barkov also invisible (again).

Yeah, barely saw Ekblad at all today….

It's stuff like this that makes me think you're just trolling.

Tkachuk has 5 points in 4 games and leads the team in points. Plays hard and physical, tries to lead the team off the ice with significant quotables in the media.

He's done everything he can this season. Not a lot of support right now. Duclair and Lundell have zero points. Verhaeghe, who had a great playoffs last year, has 1 point.

Barkov has been below average on offense because he has to defend so much and Ekblad is now injured.

Other than Bennett and Montour, there's not a lot of support right now. Those three are the team.

I'm not saying this to pick a fight with the locals, but posts that you're responding to are just cope because he played for the Flames last year. That's all.

Tkachuk and Bennett have been good this series, and they're still two young guys who have a lot of future ahead of them. Sucks for Flames fans to see two of the team's highest ever picks with chemistry and impact in the playoffs, but doing it for somebody else while the Flames have already cleared out their lockers, but such is life. Those guys are doing well.

God damn Bennett is still only 26.

The schadenfreude is heavy here with some posters, I guess it's understandable since the guy chose to leave. But the reality is Tkachuck has been a beast for Florida this this year and without him they wouldn't even be in the playoffs.

And don't get me started on Barkov who is my favorite player and an elite player but just doesn't seem to have another gear in the playoffs.

Best players on the team this year. They have several good pieces also in Forsling, Mountour, Ekblad, Lundell, Luostarinen. I'm pretty sure Reinhart will be dealt soon along with Duclair and they can recoup some picks or other players. IMO they need Knight back and just him alone would make them Tampa2 in the east if he is healthy.

[Paulie Walnuts]

The playoffs are more than points though.

Tkachuk doesn't have that other gear he's always been invisible in the playoffs. He had all the quotes here as well but on the ice hey was trash and usually made the other teams play harder because his stupidity.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Tkachuk should be suspended for that nasty cross check.

Also missing Krejci, a 125 career playoff point producer. Good luck to anyone going up against this team once they get these 2 guys back...

Dude has a hate boner for Tkachuk. Just ignore him
