The oilers were pretty bad as well last night horrible D and Skinner bad

Leaf PP: 9%

Bruins PP: 50%

I know what's favoring Boston. Putting pucks in that juicy net!

i had live bet boston ml heavily at a very bad line late in the game from -900 to -1000 when the fair should have been around -1500 so I was risking quite a bit to pick up a little and was thus watching the final minutes intently

boston played very good lockdown d, even when Toronto was doing a good job controlling the puck in the offensive zone, they never were able to get someone open in front of the net nor able to find good shooting lanes

was a huge sigh of relief when i saw tavarez commit the penalty and shocked the refs actually called it but obv super happy about it

saw Marchand shoot and hit side of the net, was disappointed it didn't go in because i just wanted this thing iced, but then I'm watching and notice that none of the bluejays are skating back to aid bertuzzi in recovering the puck, so it's not even a defensemen in his natural habitat fighting for the puck in the corner 1v2 but a winger, pasta wins the puck, he shoots and misses too, figure oh well, but then i see still, not a single leaf is back yet, so Marchand can just casually collect it and skate it in the net - one of the biggest omg did they really just quit like that moments I've ever seen in sports

yes i get it, time is running low, they need to cycle the puck up quickly and generate chances, but at least have more than one guy back there

you can see it here minus marchand's initial missed shot


the entire leafs zone has only one leaf in it and he just got knocked down but pasta is not aware they haven't back checked and just flung it at the net and missed


Marchand goes to the rebound, only now are more leafs entering the screen, and none of them are doing it at full sprint


Marchand easily gets there first and with plenty of time to change direction, skate back in front of the net, and drop it in the net

was just shocking to witness, was thinking how much my youth hockey coach would have screamed and yelled at us to backcheck if my team gave up like that

RIP Bob Cole

RIP Just an absolute legend

Ya, the goat

Al Shaver died yesterday too at the age of 96. He was the voice of the North Stars throughout my youth.

Some of the great games Bob Cole must have done what a great long life he had

To really drive home that we lost a great announcer, Brian Boucher says Tampa would be better off going shorthanded a couple of times to "keep it simple" and "build confidence" while the pbp guy wholeheartedly agrees

jfc... i thought I've heard my share of dumb things announcers say but that's a new level of stupid

(this is only a small portion of the bob cole discourse from over the years ... and very funnily, a lot of the oh thank god he's finally quitting posts are from 10+ years before he retired lol)


in conclusion, bob cole was a land of contrasts. rip

Well Florida is for sure the better team of these two.

Canes just need to take care of business. In a great spot.
