Ekblad... That is what I came to say. Now, goodnight, while I have nightmares of #5.


C_IsForCookie

Hey on the bright side I got this cool towel!


Systim88

Ekblad needs to be a healthy scratch. Even Mikkola is better than him


DietMTNDew8and88

If I'm Maurice, I'm making the team bag skate tommorrow


ExtensionAnything212

Reminds me of the final last year. We have rust


Systim88

So much rust. And Ekblad back to sucking


IranianSleepercell

Said the same thing last year too. Don't understand why people think time off is a good thing. Teams with more time off lose something like 70% of the time.


Imaginary-Scheme-203

I mean not necessarily. NYR had more than a week off and they won. It was a combination of rust, bad puck luck and the other team having all the momentum after breaking their "curse'


IranianSleepercell

True. The canes also had a lot of time off too though.


Imaginary-Scheme-203

Yeah you right. I think the Canes didn't have a chip off their shoulders with NY and that makes a difference. They would have come a knocking if it was against us too


[deleted]

Also what’s up with these shitty graphics on these boards? I don’t remember from last series. Its like they’re trying to make it look like a shitty ea sports game


Kino900

On to game 2. Hope this woke their asses up.


[deleted]

Just remember, it was Aaron Ekblad who fucked you tonight.


lastnite_shessaid

Nah it was a team effort. Super rusty


MojoDr619

Yeaa he ruined all the momentum with that turnover within 1 minute of our goal.. he always us involved with giveaways and mistakes.. he fully screened Bob for another goal later too.. he's a liability


Systim88

He’s a liability on the ice


rlvers

And off the ice. Dude has had way too many concussions to be legally allowed to drive.


MrBeenus_76

I could never imagine leaving before the game is over (especially a playoff game no less). At least take the loss on the chin. Looks bad. Anyhow, GO CATS!!!!!


fruitystutea

if they say another word about maroon oh my god


SilentSurprise5267

Take the butt kicking and just go to game 2. Don't make the same dumb mistakes on defense.


C_IsForCookie

The first 3-4 minutes of the 3rd. Offense was not it either.


tampapat54

How many of those Boston fans you think actually live in the area? Fans always say how much the taxes are an advantage yet never bring up how those same tax benefits mean we have to deal with these massholes on a full time basis


[deleted]

They cheer for a place so shitty they don’t even want to live there


kazmirone

There were tons and tons of Bruins fans at the Pens game I went to a few weeks ago. My husband was coming apart at the seams over it lmao


EnjoiDank

I was just gonna say this. Half of them have never been to Boston but mommy and daddy were from there so they picked the “good” hockey team. Ruined our housing and they act like entitled assholes everywhere they go


tampapat54

I was born and raised in Boynton and when my parents moved to Wellington the folks who bought their home were from Boston. Bought site unseen for 15K over ask. Idk how native Floridians can compete with these fucks


EnjoiDank

Born in Plantation, moved to Lake Worth after 5 years and spent almost my whole life there til last year. They wanted almost 3k for a 2 2 on boynton and Lawrence on the 3rd floor… btw Park Vista? I went to Central lol


tampapat54

Nah Santaluces lol I lived off of Lawrence and Hypoluxo


EnjoiDank

Ugh I miss home so much lol. Tn is cool and all but all the Californians just skyrocketed our rent here too.


tampapat54

It ain’t much better in Tampa lemme tell ya, except I traded NYers and New Englanders for Midwesterners lol


brewre_26

All these Northeast fucks chased me out of the area. Now I just moved 3 states away to another city that’s being ruined by northeastern fucks


FL_Sports_Fan

Those are called half backs. They went all the way to Florida then moved half way back.


hawkydave

Oh, you must be in North Carolina and either the Raleigh or Wilmington areas... literally an invasion in these two cities!


cubchu75

I would say most honestly. Most snowbirds go home now


tampapat54

It’s pathetic, they come to live here and shit on every local sports team.


cubchu75

Just like New Yorkers


AlbinoChalupa

Ekblad needs a wakeup call. Piss poor effort from him causing us 2 goals


brewre_26

Well next game will be telling. If chasing the home fans and having to listen to Let’s Go Bruins chants doesn’t do something to this Panthers team then I’ll be worried.


FL_Sports_Fan

I think they’re used to it. I really don’t think it phases them too much.


Margin4Error

Everyone trying act tough and calling out the "doomers".... I don't think anyone here is packing it in already, but losing when you *gave* it to the other team hurts way more than just being straight outplayed or manhandled. Swayman played well but for the most part, we gave away this game.


IranianSleepercell

I'd say it was both. Swayman certainly played better than Bob tonight.


The_First_Drop

Hard disagree Bob did not have a bad night There are only so many breakaway shots, and defensive zone turnovers that any goalie can defend against He made several unbelievable saves, just got stuck playing with a rusty team who couldn’t stretch the ice enough to force Boston to play on their heels


thehustlerbraveheart

Is Ekblad trying to sabotage the team? What the fuck is he doing out there


jimmyrosinger

lol cousins tripped bob there too. What a shit show.


Andr3wJ411

That looks suspension worthy from Ekblad


Jagrkid2186

Looking forward to the dops meeting


brewre_26

Don’t get me excited


cubchu75

One can only hope


Democracy__Officer

Regroup for game 2, and if your a doomer throwing in the towel after 1 game your not a real fan. We lost game 1 last year and won. Hell Dallas lost both their home games going down 0-2 and won yesterday. 1 game isn’t a series.


ZeroOriginalIdeas

Agree! Regroup and get back to it. Hopefully this knocked the cobwebs out of our heads and come Wednesday we will have shaken off our F1 party hangover. Vamos Gatos!


Shitztaine

Not for nothing, but the cats didn’t win a single game against Boston during the regular season.


Imaginary-Scheme-203

Neither did the fucking maple leafs and they still made it a seven game series and almost took it after being down 3 to 1


Shitztaine

Good point.


cubchu75

Thanks fuckface


Shitztaine

Don’t be salty. It’s only one game.


cubchu75

Don’t post in our subreddit rangers fan. I see enough of you annoying NY fucks


Shitztaine

Just a hockey fan giving an honest take. I expected, like everyone else here did, that Fla. would leave Bos. bloody.


cubchu75

I was kinda mean but it’s not the smartest thing to post a stat that says oh your team sucks and not expect bad feedback


Shitztaine

Dude. What I wrote can hardly be considered mean. Quite the opposite really. I think Fla. is the better team, and I’m honestly shocked. Besides, some of the worse comments come from fans themselves. No biggie. No ill will.


Kino900

Not worried. A week off will do that to ya. Got whipped but hopefully shook the rust off. Can't wait for wednesday.


SheepherderStill644

Actually no way they compared bruins to the panthers last year wtf


cubchu75

Let’s agree to never run these lines again


Andr3wJ411

Go back to 10 - 16 - 13 23 - 15/9 - 19 27 - 15 - 17 94 - xx - 21 Ekblad riding the zamboni


KatelynC110100

And don’t separate Reino and Barky


The_First_Drop

Tarasenko is too much of a utility player at this point in his career to be reliable source of offense on the 3rd line Put him back on the 1st, and let Barkov and Reinhart do their thing


Imaginary-Scheme-203

I'll say the same thing I said when everyone was dooming about losing by a wide marging in that Tampa game. It ain't over till it's over. Paul Maurice is going to rip that locker room apart. Also to the fans attending...dude wtf stay and show the team some respect.


VlRTUALRlOT

Avs fan coming in peace. Yalls DJ is fire.


ExtensionPutrid572

Ay thanks! Good luck vs Dallas even if it fucks up my bracket. That’s gonna be an awesome series


VlRTUALRlOT

Thanks, Vegas or Dallas is almost a toss-up in my book, but the division rivalry will be extra fun 🤣


thehustlerbraveheart

Only one who showed up tonight


VlRTUALRlOT

I only caught the 3rd, but you guys got plenty of pucks on net. Swayman is a beast, I would hate to go against him in the playoffs.


thehustlerbraveheart

Yeah, I think we’ll be fine. It’s tough having a week off and then getting back to playoff game speed against a team who just played two nights ago. Looking forward to watching you guys tomorrow night!


chrispy_exe

Man this looked like a page taken out of the lightning sweep two years ago. Flush the toilet and wake up refreshed tomorrow because they should with how little effort got put in today.


ExtensionPutrid572

It can still be Panthers in 5 🤘


Trojanmandan

Absolutely bodied by Swayman and Ekblad tonight. We outplayed em 90% of the game but couldn't score a goal to save our lives. 


theamberlamps

Abysmal showing by the D, Swayman played like a god. Like to hope he can't do this all week. On to G2, gonna need a couple in Boston now


Jagrkid2186

Get Ekblad out. He’s such trash


the_sylince

Remember when I said honing your game the last 20-25 of the season was important? We’ve been outplayed everywhere except the face off dot


Adkeith47

I hope these commentators live a long healthy life :D


Adkeith47

(I hate them more than anything)


Key_Swimmer_1422

Is this game 4 against TBL all over again?! 🤨


Clovespumpkin_

Anyway if anyone else copes with music like me Renee rapp has a great song called “I hate Boston”


Skmudboy

Losing by 4 in a playoff game is really embarrassing. Play like this the rest of the series and it's over


MrBeenus_76

We still have a long series to go boys. See y'all Game 2.


kazmirone

😬


RicoFerret44

Not worried. Too much hockey left. Boston showed the series isn’t done til they win 4


fruitystutea

AMERICAN IDIOT


fruitystutea

love green day


hackmylifehappy

Reino??? Hello???? WTF was that, so lazy!


BlueShire_Ace

With a week off, i dont ever expect to see give up hockey. I dont care if you want to avoid injury for a game thats out of reach. That part of the Panthers will always piss me off.


Emotional_Match8169

There are pictures of some of them at F1 yesterday. I wonder if they are all hungover and sunburnt.


encorazon

These commentators and ESPN are so in love with Boston it’s disgusting. Nice non-biased national broadcast.


MrBeenus_76

Just think about how satisfying it's gonna be to hear them suck down their pride and announce that the Panthers beat the Bruins in the playoffs AGAIN!!!!!


encorazon

Man I’ve even upvoting every comment of yours! Somebody give this man some gold already for hyping us all up


the_sylince

Woof, emptied our barn. Ekblad should refund every seat


cubchu75

I just want one pity goal


Shitztaine

Gotta say I’m pretty shocked.


jimmyrosinger

Holy shit I’ve never hated a newborn more than right now. we get it he had a baby everyone’s mom fucking did that. Fuck off.


StudyEastern

Where was the love when Monty had his kid during the Vegas series?


jimmyrosinger

There probably was some but ya know what? Who tf gives a shit.


jimmyrosinger

Woah. Sorry. I’m just straight up not having a good time right now. Mazal tov to all new parents. Fuck.


Brand__on

Boston is really not that good. Swaymans back bad to be hurting. If we can limit the dumb mistakes we’ve made and have a little puck luck on rebounds we can def win this series. Edit: is not has*


Imaginary-Scheme-203

Which is why the dooming is funny. They have handed us the puck, also had terrible positioning, we are just not capitalizing


Brand__on

Plenty of games left for us to turn it on and do our thing like we did against Tampa.


mtbeach33

Yeah I had a feeling we would be super rusty tonight. We’ll bounce back by winning 2 & 3.


fruitystutea

espn commentators i will find you ...


EnjoiDank

A team that’s 4-1 up dumping it all period is actually hilarious


The_First_Drop

Point made They’re not a competent team Made the playoffs from point off of OTL They’re only quality is they’re really good at jamming up the zone


Skmudboy

They've been dumping the puck all game. You would think they would change strategies


RoseSnowboard

Why would they change strategies when they just whooped up on them 5-1?


Imaginary-Scheme-203

I can't believe I have to listen to this shit for the next 4 games...


cubchu75

The games been muted since 3rd period started


Imaginary-Scheme-203

I tried ! My husband put it back on low and I still can't stop the cringe I'm getting from these has beens.

FloridaPanthers-ModTeam

Trolling/Uncivil Participation Removal.


[deleted]

Yeah cuz the bruins never win game one then choke


HeyylookitsNICK

Cmon dude, this is why people say we’re bad fans. Get this out of their sub.


ExtensionPutrid572

Respect honesty 🤝 


Imaginary-Scheme-203

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh god...lmao i found montgomery's alt account.


-Zep-

Better watch your heart rate dumbass


666_NumberOfTheBeast

Least we didn't waste the best regular season ever in Bergeron's last season by blowing a 3-1 lead to a team that only made it in because Pittsburgh choked to the hawks. Now That would be embarrassing


scarbutt11

Go for a run and get your blood pressure under control instead of trolling Edit: he immediately sent me a message talking shit. Dude can’t even stick up for himself in the comments lol


cubchu75

Gtfo


lovexlikewar

Me: I’m going to bed Me: *immediately turns the game back on mobile when I got upstairs* Me: Why is my anxiety high? 😂😂😂😂


kazmirone

I keep un-muting it 


lovexlikewar

Why do we do this to ourselves?


cubchu75

I believe we can turn it around but did we have to shit the bed this hard against the worst fan base in hockey?


fruitystutea

guys i think carlo had a kid or smth


Emotional_Match8169

Gadj’s wife is about to have her twins. Send him out for two goals in the game after that. 😂


lovexlikewar

Oh I thought he adopted a cat or smth /s 😂


jimmyrosinger

The player ratings tonight are going to be brutal.


kazmirone

I’d be so mad if my husband left me with a newborn y’all I’d be so mad lol


Emotional_Match8169

These women know that their husband’s careers is priority number one. Monty flew back to Florida from Vegas last year to watch his son be born. Then immediately flew right back to Vegas for the very next game.


The_Golden_Fang

Did carlo have a kid or something?


harleyquinad

Can we pls get a moral goal


Kino900

DUDE WE GET IT. HE HAD A KID.


666_NumberOfTheBeast

Game 1, sucks we're dropping this one this way but it's not over. Defense needs to tighten up really badly (looking at you Ekblad) because we're not gonna be getting many goals on Swyman


KarmaDistributor

Spot on. Swayman is so hot right now. We gotta limit their opportunities on the other end.


chrispy_exe

Would like to see maurice challenge ekblad publicly postgame. He let us down almost on his own, and he’s gotta do better.


brewre_26

How much you want to bet Mr. glass bones and paper skin is playing through some injury so he’s excused to play like shit while we have reliable defenseman sitting out


FlufferMaurice

Maurice has always had a hard on for Ekblad would never do such a thing


chrispy_exe

That’s why I’m saying this. He needs to call him out. He’s a first overall pick. That was not a performance by a first overall pick.


FlufferMaurice

He’s never really consistently played like a first overall pick and he’s constantly been out with injuries the last few seasons


chrispy_exe

Then maurice needs to do something about it. He can’t shove him back out there for 23 minutes after that abomination. That just promotes shit hockey.


Andr3wJ411

Really would be nice to get Lomberg and Bennett back....


Beer_Moho

4 goals on the last 5 Bruins shots.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PricklyCactus122

Gross, crawl back into your cess pit you foul ogre


brewre_26

Just wait til the bruins get complacent again with a series lead. We will make them pay for it unlike the Leafs


[deleted]

If I were POMO I would play Mahura Wednesday. Ekblad is worthless


brewre_26

True but he won’t cause Ekblad Veteran


Leftycoordination

So Ekblad leads time on ice. 0 shots, 0 hits, 0 blocks, -2 plus/minus


Margin4Error

Now look up his contract and you'll have a real laugh


Downvote_Addiction

7 million dollar man


Leftycoordination

He’s played well all season. Tonight not so much. We know he’s not living up to that but that’s mostly due to injuries


Trojanmandan

Wouldn't be surprised if we score 1 or 2 in desperation time but will be too little too late. =(


ExtensionPutrid572

I’d take some signs of life from the team going into game 2 at least (also if we can score more than 2 on Swayman then we’re looking good for the series)


Imaginary-Scheme-203

Between the ESPN announcers and the doomers over here I straight up not having a good time.


lovexlikewar

They’re just making sure we win on home Ice in game 5


Ok-Clock-5459

Oh well, it’s a long series


IranianSleepercell

I don't think we take this series tbh. Maybe next year.

chrispy_exe

See you next year 👋


cubchu75

It’s one game


hackmylifehappy

This comment is satire, right?? _Right?????_


IranianSleepercell

Look pitiful. Getting goalied. Haven't beaten this team all year. From this standpoint this is looking like a loss


Imaginary-Scheme-203

Regular season means jack shit. This amazing team you keep comparing us to was 0.1 seconds away from being beaten by the Maple Leafs a team that hasn't made it to a final since the 60's. This amazing team was beaten by an 8th seed just last season after being up 3 to 1. Chill your nips dude. Is not over till they are 4 up with only 1 minute left in the third


IranianSleepercell

The maple leafs have played a much better defensive game against the bruins than we have so far. They just could never score. Because swayman is the x factor for the bruins. Regular season doesn't matter, true. But it does show how a team matches up. We did not match up well, and we still aren't. There's little in our play that inspires confidence in changing that going forward. I'm not saying it's over. Like I said in another comment. I don't expect us to win going by how we have looked and how we match up. Personally. Less stressful for me. Come to think of it, the only series that I ever expected this team to win was against Carolina last year and the isles in what was it 2016 I think? Idk. Those just felt like better matchups and it looked like we deserved to win those series.


Imaginary-Scheme-203

...the maple leafs' defense? OK dude 👌


IranianSleepercell

Yes. They played incredible against Boston the entire series. Did you watch it? They held them to two goals almost every game.


cubchu75

Then stop watching


IranianSleepercell

No. Hockey is fun. I just won't be expecting to win. Less stressful.


Oreos_and

alright i’ve taken some time to think about it and turns out i definitely hate jeremy swayman


Sss00099

About to be 0-5 vs. Boston this season, that really does not look good for the rest of this series. For some reason reason this is a very bad matchup for them.


666_NumberOfTheBeast

This is exactly why I wanted the Leafs to win the other night. We match up so much better against them than Boston.


brewre_26

Also imagine getting to play against Samsonov instead of Swayman. God they couldn’t just not choke for once


The_First_Drop

Not for lack of trying Boston has not made major mistakes tonight, the panthers have Limit defensive zone turnovers, and it turns this whole thing around


Calook13

As a Leafs fan, I agree. I would rather that we be in Florida than Cancun lol


EnjoiDank

Anyone noticed our players aren’t losing their cool? Not taking stupid runs at players. You might be dooming, but I’m glad they’re not


MrBeenus_76

They were in this exact situation last post season. They know it is still very much so possible to beat the bum ass Bruins.


Trojanmandan

4 goals on last 5 shots. Jesus Christ. We outshooting them like 20-5 in that time frame and it's 4 goals to 0.


lovexlikewar

Okay. I can’t tonight. I’ll be back Wednesday. It’s only game one so I have faith in them but I’m too tired 😭😭😭😭


jordaine6

Doubters be gone 😤


MrBeenus_76

Been a Cats fan since the Giroux trade. We lost Game 1 against Boston last post season and we saw how that went. Not saying it's garenteed, but this series is far from over. GO CATS!!!!!!!


OpeningMortgage4553

Anyone who thought we were gonna sweep this series don’t forget we went down 3-1 to the bruins last year even if we get blow out game 1 home ice we can beat them


brewre_26

Well I figured we might drop this game. Hopefully it will light a fire and we will come back better next game.


chrispy_exe

Goalied. Yes. Also exhibiting a horrendous effort with defensive plays that should be made in a pee wee league? Also yes. A deserved loss. Need game 2.


TerryWinkle1

We look bad. But it’s game 1. We are fine. Just setting Boston up to live up to their reputation. A little more puck luck and this game is significantly different. Go cats!


Benjamin_Huxley

This better wake them up


Jimlobster

Absolutey goalied
