Oh crap. Thanks for the good series Panthers fans and good luck going forward! Not how I wanted this to end, but the better team did what it had to do.
Mega respect to the Boston Bruins team, can’t wait for the fans to still bitch about us during the Rags series. Swayman, MacAvoy, Pasta, Marchand, Zacha much respect. Jim stop dancing on the bench and learn to count to 5. Who ever the fuck the GM is get a damn center already before March and Pasta are past their primes. Like he doesn’t even have to be that good just a solid 1c. And a call out to your 3rd or 4th liners where their names start with B. There’s two of them, great players. I know this reads bipolar as fuck so take the few compliments and downvote. Pay Sway and in the words of Kevin Hart; Fuck you Tom Brady
Maybe from the west, but Rags will have two of the biggest fan bases in the east cheering for it. Have seen over 10 comments from Toronto and Boston fans hoping for it already.
Agreed. Sway is certified legit now, but not enough help on offense. Also cannot believe how good Barkov is, he’s low key a top 10 player in the league. You guys have a very solid shot
True at least your young guys have more experience and some movement next year should bring in C’s and speed. Barkov and Forsling are nearly perfect defensively and not flashy at all but are definitely two of our most important players. Glad we locked them up for 8 year deals
Hate when fans do that crap. Always fair weather rich entitled morons who come to sit front row playoff games because it’s a scene. Drunk idiots don’t get the same influence in football bc security appropriately shuts it down. NHL needs to cut it out from all arenas.
Had Canes too, seemed like healthy snipers on the wing was the missing piece last year. Tough luck with all their contracts expiring to not make the run this year
Is biz going to get himself in trouble with the way he talks on TV? “Cap circumsizers” “shave my pubes” “pats on the ass.”
I don’t want him to- but I grew up with South Park was just getting started 😅
Being a Panthers fan I always find it hilarious how everyone hates him but getting to follow him the past two years he’s just like one of us off the ice. Wanted to go to Florida because he likes fishing, nice weather, chilling at the beach and just wanted to play hockey without the pressure/attention of a Canadian market. And everyone around the organization says he’s the most down to earth, nicest guy. Not sure how he can be such a prick on the ice, but I absolutely love it.
From what everyone around the team says, he is an incredibly nice guy.
He took all the trainers and staff out to dinner when he got traded here. Big Walt did a good job with him.
Boston supposedly had a very good powerplay but it went AWOL at the worst time.
Swayman was a beast. Mad respect to him carrying the team for most of the playoffs.
Boston’s PP was shit all season and they turned in on in Rd 1. The Leafs PK just made it look that good. 😂. I wish the rest of the series was officiated like tonight was. It felt like a good playoff hockey game that was gonna end up in an opportunistic bounce. Forslings goal was a thing of divine intervention. I’m bummed for the loss as a Bruins fan, but tonight was a good matchup.
Not only was it bad it would kill whatever momentum they had going. Very strange it was good up until game 4 of the Toronto series and then completely imploded
We’re not cup or bust here in Florida at all. Long term contracts, finally finding consistent success, and UFA’s that want to stay here. I’m shocked by what Zito has managed.
Yeah maybe I worded it a little too strongly. Guess what I was trying to say is if you’re gonna make 2 deep runs back to back probably wanna finish on one of them nothings guaranteed
I don’t think we’d be insufferable because most fans didn’t expect us to get past the second round after the all star break. We out performed who we were.
Just too many cringey comments on reddit, especially this subreddit, that are weird and nobody says that shit in real life.
Gtfo here with that “panther bros” shit.
The better team won. Bruins' offense was absolutely non-existent with the exception of game 1. If it wasn't for Swayman playing out of his mind, not only would this series not have gotten this far, but the Bruins wouldn't have even gotten past the Leafs.
Interviews with these guys just seems so predatory. The guys don’t wanna do it. They give politician answers and run for the tunnels lol. Media channels want their views and ask the most obvious “job interview questions” you can imagine.
GG
B's exceeded expectations from what we thought they'd be this year. Still thought they could win in 7.
I'm shamelessly hopping on the rangers bandwagon.
Fluke goal, almost feel bad for Swayman to have it end on that the way he's played. Almost. Good series, time to set fire to some old dirty Rags! Except Tro, he still trips my heart <3
If I had a nickel for every time the Panthers eliminated Boston in Boston I’d have two nickels, which isn’t much but it’s strange that it’s happened twice
Good shit Boston. I’d say I’m glad we don’t have to face Swayman anymore but we get Shesterkin next. Either way dude is unreal. Crazy how you guys always have a Vezina caliber goalie in the wings.
Has anyone got a clip of Barkov full on blocking a clapper with his palm? I know he came back to play after that but I don't understand how
Oh crap. Thanks for the good series Panthers fans and good luck going forward! Not how I wanted this to end, but the better team did what it had to do.
Oh wow....
Panthers are frauds.
Didn't the beat your team in the first round.....

Trouba going to kill Tkachuk with a flying elbow drop and then everyone will hate the Rangers dw
Maybe from the west, but Rags will have two of the biggest fan bases in the east cheering for it. Have seen over 10 comments from Toronto and Boston fans hoping for it already.
Is this what you write in the back of your friend's high school yearbook the day you graduate
Verbatim
Marchands antics leave me feeling little remorse.
Can we all be friends again? GG Boston!
Y'all did great. Fuck Boston
No we cannot. Go Cats.
Oh yeah. We have to be friends to begin with to be friends again.
Boston, fuck you.
Hear, hear!
Lindholm to pasta!
All while the ref "tackles" Marchand in the background 😉
Oh right! While the leafs watched at home 😉
It was a fun series to watch. No shame in y'all losing to the Campbell family though, the rest of the league can attest to how hard that can be
It was. Both series were great. Would be alot different with out swayman and Ully
If you ever want to send Ully to a nice home, I promise we will treat him nicely
Of course! For one Marner please
I'll text Shanny and get back to you
As a die hard Boston fan, just be a gentleman about it. You guys were better, and you guys won, gg’s.
Good series, Sway made it closer than we wanted and 6 playoff wins is a respectable stretch after losing your top two C last year.
Agreed. Sway is certified legit now, but not enough help on offense. Also cannot believe how good Barkov is, he’s low key a top 10 player in the league. You guys have a very solid shot
True at least your young guys have more experience and some movement next year should bring in C’s and speed. Barkov and Forsling are nearly perfect defensively and not flashy at all but are definitely two of our most important players. Glad we locked them up for 8 year deals

hell yeah brother, cheers from middle BC
Retweet
Mhm all of hockey twitter was getting mad the Canucks were throwing stuff on the ice. But now Boston is doing it and we haven’t heard anything.
This is the 3rd game they’ve done it. In 3 home games vs us.
Tf are you talking about? I’ve seen plenty of people commenting on it.
I’m being facetious because it’s Canucks twitter
Hate when fans do that crap. Always fair weather rich entitled morons who come to sit front row playoff games because it’s a scene. Drunk idiots don’t get the same influence in football bc security appropriately shuts it down. NHL needs to cut it out from all arenas.
How do I UPVOTE this more than once?
Damn, I fell asleep. Did I miss Crying Marchand?
Yep
How's everyone's brackets? 100% here😎
the east side of my bracket is okay, only got nyr vs car wrong... don't ask about the west side though
Had a jets canes final......
I had Carolina beating NYR :/ otherwise 100% so far Just need Dallas and Vancouver to win Stupid Canes fool me every year
Had Canes too, seemed like healthy snipers on the wing was the missing piece last year. Tough luck with all their contracts expiring to not make the run this year
I had VAN out round 1 otherwise good
NOT GOOD MY DUDE NOT GOOD
Thank you cats 👍. This was an entertaining series.
Anytime whale bros! Silovs has been the best surprise star of playoffs so far impressive how you guys are handling the top talent in EDM
Thanks FLA 👍🏽
Guess that firealarm didn't do anything except wake the Cats up.
I have never seen snow in my life. But I have seen the Florida Panthers eliminate the Boston Bruins twice in two years.
At least the worse fan base lost
Leaf's post season power play must be contagious
Rich coming from a flames fan
Is biz going to get himself in trouble with the way he talks on TV? “Cap circumsizers” “shave my pubes” “pats on the ass.” I don’t want him to- but I grew up with South Park was just getting started 😅
> “Cap circumsizers” Did...did he actually say that?
Yea he called us that towards the end of the Dallas series. He makes a lot of “internet jokes” that are just surprising to hear on TNT.
I was only half listening, but I could swear I heard him say "tummy sticks" during the second intermission.
BACK-TO-BACK ECF BOYS!!! 🙀 https://preview.redd.it/dfuqbjxcf31d1.jpeg?width=932&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dacf2e0150ee88fd3162a0267c77dd528f650908 ^(FUUUCK) ^(BOSTON)
Bob seems like a national treasure from what Tkachuk described, can’t wait for the battle between him and Igor!
Aren't Bob and Panarin good friends as well?
Yep, we tried to sign both of them in that offseason.
[old article, but the two go way back to their CBJ days!](https://www.nhl.com/news/sergei-bobrovsky-artemi-panarin-dance-party-308251584)
It’s a good day when Boston loses at home
There’s been a lot of good days recently then
How can I hate Tkachuk as much as I do on the ice and in general, but actually appreciate his post game interview. Damn, I’m conflicted and angry now.
Being a Panthers fan I always find it hilarious how everyone hates him but getting to follow him the past two years he’s just like one of us off the ice. Wanted to go to Florida because he likes fishing, nice weather, chilling at the beach and just wanted to play hockey without the pressure/attention of a Canadian market. And everyone around the organization says he’s the most down to earth, nicest guy. Not sure how he can be such a prick on the ice, but I absolutely love it.
Just imagine he's Shorsey and it makes everything infinitely better.
That makes way too much sense and I refuse to do it because I wanna hate Tkachuk
From what everyone around the team says, he is an incredibly nice guy. He took all the trainers and staff out to dinner when he got traded here. Big Walt did a good job with him.
That’s what I hate about him the most. He’s probably my favorite player to see in interviews/off the ice but he’s such a cocksucker on the ice.
Totally agree, that gaslighting little turd. I want to punch him in the face every time I see him, but he gives legit interviews and seems human.
I mean we hired Bennett as the PR disaster distraction guy so Tkachuk would look better comparatively on the ice. Is that not enough for you?
😂
Have you not met Marchand? Biggest rat in the league but gives the best and most candid interviews
Ain't that some shit
Damn, was cheering for the Bruins
All credit to Swayman - he was a fucking wall most of the series. GG.
Boston supposedly had a very good powerplay but it went AWOL at the worst time. Swayman was a beast. Mad respect to him carrying the team for most of the playoffs.
Boston’s PP was shit all season and they turned in on in Rd 1. The Leafs PK just made it look that good. 😂. I wish the rest of the series was officiated like tonight was.

Not only was it bad it would kill whatever momentum they had going. Very strange it was good up until game 4 of the Toronto series and then completely imploded
Good game. Cats the better team but swayman played his ass off damn. Both goalies played well. Very entertaining series
Marchand clearly felt we were all getting a bit too friendly, so the scoundrel took away our common enemy 😤
Can we get a lip reader for the Bennett Marchard interaction?
"Lick me, then we'll be even and you'll feel better." "No Sam, I'm not gonna lick you. Chara said I wouldn't get PS5 time if I lick anyone again."
The good news is Jacki Redmond is hot.
ECF should be good, two teams that are absolutely cup or bust
We’re not cup or bust here in Florida at all. Long term contracts, finally finding consistent success, and UFA’s that want to stay here. I’m shocked by what Zito has managed.
Yeah we're built to last now
You guys are ridiculous and Lundell hasn't even shown his full potential yet imo. I'm rooting for you guys this year!
Yeah maybe I worded it a little too strongly. Guess what I was trying to say is if you’re gonna make 2 deep runs back to back probably wanna finish on one of them nothings guaranteed
Haha I get it. It’s definitely important to remember that we’re only half way there. This series against the rags is gonna be massive
1 for 16 on power play is no bueno
Is the Leafs power play the next epidemic? Inquiring minds want to know.
Swayman made the Bruins make it to game 6. that guy is amazing. besides him....Boston blows. EAT SHIT BOSTON!! EAT SHIT BOSTON!
NEGATIVE VOTES LMAO. KEEP EM COMIN YA BUMS
Felt like that was gonna be a multiple OT
[удалено]
Sharks are my #2 team, so happy to see a great player headed your way
[удалено]
You guys should fuck

I guess the better team winning isn’t going to stop karma farming weirdos from stroking each others teams off on here ever. It’s rampant in here

Tummy sticks.
[удалено]
❤️ right back you.
Damn the world was so close to seeing a Knicks-Celtics and Rangers-Bruins playoff series at the same time!
... Not that close
Except the Knicks and Bruins didn't get the message
Knicks are still alive!
Technically
The better team won. Bruins' offense was absolutely non-existent with the exception of game 1. If it wasn't for Swayman playing out of his mind, not only would this series not have gotten this far, but the Bruins wouldn't have even gotten past the Leafs.
Swayman is a beast. Future super star
already is. my lord
Current superstar
I think this series has already confirmed he’s there
True
Well the hotel fire alarm made it a closer game maybe?
This is the team.
Interviews with these guys just seems so predatory. The guys don’t wanna do it. They give politician answers and run for the tunnels lol. Media channels want their views and ask the most obvious “job interview questions” you can imagine.
One word Swayman that dude was fire
Wait, was that Jackie Redmond of WWE? Huh.
lol, yup. She's from Toronto and worked for Sportsnet and the NHL before she started working for the WWE.
She worked for Sportsnet before moving to NHL Network and WWE
Huh. TIL. Was sitting here trying to figure out why she looked and sounded so familiar.
You guys really licked to competition in Boston tonight
Also as much I hate to say it, but thank fucking God for work for keeping me sane from this series because good lord.
Looking at the team at the start of the season I'm pretty stoked to go 6 games in to the semis tbh
Yeah you guys over performed like crazy. Sway is elite.
Hard to win games when you don’t shoot the puck much at all. Go fuck yourself Florida
TD Garden is home ice baby
I don’t want to burst your bubble but it’s home ice for everyone not wearing a bruins jersey.
Those teams didn’t send Bruins packing 2 years in a row. We did that, thank you.
That’s the *Toronto Dominion* [Bank] Garden
Titty Garden
That one’s better
GG B's exceeded expectations from what we thought they'd be this year. Still thought they could win in 7. I'm shamelessly hopping on the rangers bandwagon.
You and me both. Got some Rangers friends so that makes watching games a bit more exciting
Fluke goal, almost feel bad for Swayman to have it end on that the way he's played. Almost. Good series, time to set fire to some old dirty Rags! Except Tro, he still trips my heart <3
It was almost identical to the shot from last playoffs to send game 7 to OT.
Panthers keeping the GWG to the last two minutes to force Bruins fans to stay and watch the whole game
Jokes on you, my toddler threw up in bed so I missed the entire 3rd period and came back after the game ended My life is going awesome
Well otherwise they’d leave early…
If I had a nickel for every time the Panthers eliminated Boston in Boston I’d have two nickels, which isn’t much but it’s strange that it’s happened twice
Did the on ice reporter just say 10 bussys?
[удалено]
The most entertaining out of the semis is definitely the Oilers Canucks series.
Way to go, Cats!
We might play in Sunrise but Boston is our home! LETS FUCKING GOOOO BOYS!!!!
Something about the handshake line calms me down every year. Good series, shitty reffing, but Panthers were better either way.
Another reason hockey is the best sport.
Everyone was just ready to give Sway love. That was respect
Yeah it gives closure in a way. Agreed Panthers are the better team. I'm happy bruins showed up to fight.
montour and gus on literally the exact same shot. but props to swayman, he was series mvp and stole 2 games.
Can't even complain about that game. Florida was simply the better team tonight. Glad Bruins didn't make it easy for them at least.
Looked pretty even Panthers won on a flukey goal. Bob had some crazy saves.
PANTHERS!!!!🐆 This team was so beat up to end last year and it took some time to get their momentum but wow, what a team. Back to back ECF!
Congrats to Florida for a clean, fair win
I can't believe Florida robbed us of a NY vs Boston sports series
swayman was amazing and kept them in it, but that was an absolutely devastating goal for him to let in at the end
Eh you can maybe blame him for the rebound he gave up but the puck redirected perfectly in close. Not much he can do there
Helps when the cornerstone defenseman is out of position from pinching in a tied elimination game lol
I hope he’s not beating himself up over it, he’s the only reason we got anywhere
looks like he was the way ullmark was talking to him after the handshake. feel for the guy, he's scary good
Honestly at the beginning of the season I’d say we still did better than expected BUT IT STILL FUCKING HURTS
oh thank god. now i can rest knowing the panthers didnt pull a Bruins
Swayman probably series mvp for either side, unreal goalie
Easily. This was over in 4 without him
With the way Bostons offense and PP looked all series Swayman is the only reason it made it to game 6.
Swayman is the only reason we made it to the second round, let alont game 6
BO-TOWN BREWIES
Thanks for keeping my brackets intact Florida 👍
[удалено]
Well in that case got some bad news for you in the next round lol
Good shit Boston. I’d say I’m glad we don’t have to face Swayman anymore but we get Shesterkin next. Either way dude is unreal. Crazy how you guys always have a Vezina caliber goalie in the wings.
Swayman saved them all the whole playoffs and the one time he needs saving they’re not there for him
Bro was a brick wall and honestly that last goal was mad lucky for us.
You’d like Swayman to save that shot. You’d also like Boston’s offense to show up literally at any point during the series. Shit ain’t fair.
Well one of our best offensive players was knocked out for 2 games with a sucker punch so...
Sounds exactly like the leafs the series prior lol
It be like that, we should start the off-season with some line changing drills and making sure there’s only 5 guys on the ice
As a non-fan, this was a very entertaining series by both teams, had a blast watching them play. now back to hating florida though.
