they didn’t have many high danger chances and swayman is by far the best goalie in the playoffs combo of both
Toronto needs to be the underdog, if they get this to game 7 and matthews comes back they will shit their pants again because everyone will believe in them
DeBrusk has a level of burst with the puck on his stick that very few players not named MacKinnon have. He clearly doesnt have the rest of the elite talent, but he’s fun to watch skate through the neutral zone with the puck on his stick
But to IrishLAX2 point, debrusk is a very underrated player now. He will be paid too much when his contract is up though.
My toxic trait is thinking with zero goalie experience I would never let a guy open my legs and tuck it 5 hole
i was a very mediums goalie and my whole game was based on making guys earn a goal. You will not beat me in the middle…but then I played with and against Vermette and Pominville and they would open me up if they wanted and if not they would just shoot around. these players are something else, I can’t even Imagine playing against a guy like Patrick Kane.
In all honesty Boston should be embarrassed this series is going 7. Swayman has been immortal and Toronto's 2 best players have missed a combined 6 games.
Marchand gonna get the auto 10-game suspension? Or is the league gonna ignore their cut and dry suspension rules in the playoffs again?
This is vermette and it looks so easy to stop he fakes the low block shot so quickly and then he takes it backhand so fast that you have to open up…and he slides it in he must have scored 100 goals on me like that in practice and If I was cheating he was either taking the low blocker shot or not sliding it in and backhand it over my left pad
I hate that he is on the team. It is the quintessential NHL move to trade for and constantly play a 36 year old coming off of back surgery simply because he was a contributor to three cup winning teams.
Nothing to be embarrassed about. We’re just not that good, especially when Marchand and Pastrnak aren’t having great games.
Listening to 32 Thoughts this morning sounds like there’s a possibility he might just retire after a tough year for his family.
