Can’t be too mad about this season from a Boston perspective in my opinion. I think this series showed they had gone as far as they were gonna go. They had clear strengths (Swayman) but also clear flaws, and you’re not gonna win a Cup with clear flaws unless you get incredibly lucky. Hopefully the front office recognizes those flaws and improves on them with their cap space
@@zachlesk5685do you follow the bruins at all? Have you seen any playoff games in the past 20 years? The Bruins fail every year. 2011 was the anomaly. Enough with the hate.
@@mattgauthier7216 nah I’m good Boston sucks and I live for their losses, just like Toronto. Yall really becoming the American leafs w these consistent playoff chokes, buncha bums in Boston
@@zachlesk5685 this wasnt a choke. This team had no busines having a 109 point regular season and a first round win. They overachieved. Also, you clearly lack something in your life if you have to go onto a comment section to post your hate for Boston.
Florida was definitely the better team. Panthers were all over them in the 3rd period and Bruins couldn’t get out. Bobrovsky got comfy and that was pretty much it.
Can't blame him at all. Anyone that does needs a psych eval. He deserves to be on a team that can back him up and help him win, and it's not Boston. Really hope he goes elsewhere, gets paid well, and plays well enough to win the cup.
Same, but mostly due to the fact that the Panthers are my #1 favorite team and the Nucks are my 3rd favorite team so either way one of my favorites would be winning the cup
The fact Boston is even here is still mind blowing to me. Amazing team and franchise. Will be an interesting off-season. Panthers v Rangers is going to be a helluva series
The Panthers revenge tour continues. Now they have to get a series against the Rangers. Vegas and Colorado both gone, so no revenge there. Maybe the revenge is for all the Vancouver Trades?
When coach Paul Maurice was in Winnipeg I didn't think he was all that good of a coach. But since he left and came to Florida I am impressed with his coaching style.
His roster is stacked. Only "weakness" is a goalie who looks shaky on easy shots sometimes. Maurice's real test as a coach is coming up against the Rangers.
Let's go Panthers! Man, I was honestly TREMBLING throughout the entire game. I had trouble sleeping last night because several scenarios kept coming to my head. Thank God. Onto the ECF now, this will be a based series. Let's Go Panthers
Great series. I only got a little bit nervous when Boston got the late pp. try not to lose sleep over it it’s not healthy. Could lead to bad performance in work or something. After all it’s just a game and as much as it sucks to put the time and money to support your team and if they lose well. There’s hopefully a next year if we’re lucky enough to see it. But just remember sports are just a distraction anyways
Swapping blown 3-1 leads in back to back years would have been pretty cool. Props to Boston for making it much further than most expected with probably the shallowest center depth in the league. Hard fought.
The lack of discipline from Boston in this series was pretty surprising. Obviously there was a bit of suspect officiating at times, but the amount of flat out silly penalties Boston took at bad times really surprised me.
To be fair, a lot of the "bad" penalties they were called for was stuff the Panthers were also doing and not being called for, so. Hard to know what is and isnt allowed when it's not called one minute then called the next.
@@APigthatflys I'm with you, but that doesn't excuse a lot of the blatant penalties Boston committed at the worst possible moments. Mcavoy trying to hit Bennett in the head with 6 minutes to go in a tied elimination game is a perfect example of this. Florida is a dirty team, very sneaky about it. If you engage them in that game, you lose every time.
Florida learned to be dirty from Boston. Boston just got beat at their own game. Were there bad calls? Of course there were, I’m not arguing that point. Swayman is a stud though, he deserves that new payout whatever he gets
Helps to be realistic. Boston was hard pressed to even make the playoffs this year, much less 2 wins away from the conference finals with their lack of depth at center and not enough gamebreaking forwards. Pasta can only do so much without a true #1 center.
@@casewojo6186 wow, didn't realize saying something polite equated to hero worship. Plenty of hockey commentators are disgustingly biased and I wanted to show my appreciation. I'm genuinely surprised that it was so offensive to you. 🤷♀️
As a devils fan, Boston far exceeded what I thought they would do this year. Hats off to the coaching staff. Thank you Shannon for the realistic "better team" analysis.
Successful season relative to expectations. Made playoffs easily, identified #1 future goalie moving forward (pay the man Don), gave young guys valuable playoff experience. Have some cap room, hopefully Don can pick up a couple pieces
Bruins fan here, I’m not upset as much as I am disappointed in the effort in the series. Florida is a hell of a team and they deserved it way more but you really need to look at guys like McAvoy and Pastrnak. I was absolutely disgusted by the fans in Boston throwing stuff on the ice after the game.
Yea as a fan of both Boston and Florida so I didn't mind who won. The officiating was just so bad at times to where it made it miserable at times to watch and it was bad for both teams. Like I know playoff officiating is bad but this series man that was agonizing.
As a Bruins fan, I believe they overachieved this season and I was very happy to see them playing in the second round, but Florida was by far the better team. As many people have said, the only reason it went 6 games was because of Swayman. You can't score one or two goals every game and expect your goalie to throw a shutout. And in all honesty, I thought the officiating was excellent tonight. The fans were just begging. A power play wouldn't help the Bruins anyway, the way they executed when they had one. Will be an interesting offseason. Instead of signing these one and done veterans, maybe it is time for a rebuild. There are still enough good players to be competitive, but without a major overhaul, this team will not go far for years.
That was one sneaky (or El Soft-o) goal Forsling scored to end Boston’s run. I remember when Gus was a B-Hawk when Chicago was on the way down; waived by Carolina, now look at him kicking it in Florida. 🌴
The fact that Boston went as far as they did this season and playoffs is remarkable. Swayman was incredible, probably the best goalie performance since Jean-Sebastien Giguere 2003 Ducks cup run. I know he won’t get the Conn Smythe, but he definitely should.
Really looking forward to the B's end of year review. My lingering question here is if our lack of scoring was most because of Florida's play style, our philosophy of quality over quantity, or our general lack of skill/ lack of performance.
There's gotta be something poetic there. After being such a wall for the Bruins and almost single-handedly carrying them through a few games, the shot that finally gets by Swayman to end it is one of the flukiest stinkers ever. Can't deny my happiness to see Boston go. The playoffs always get better when the Bruins and the Bolts hit the golf course. Thank you Cats 🙌
Three issues for Boston in this series: - let Florida get in their heads - lack of offense (Pavel Zacha getting his first career playoff goal tonight sums it up). - dating to last playoffs, going 1-6 at home vs Florida.
As a Panthers fan since they started the franchise, playing the Bruins is always a nail biter...especially when so much is on the line for both organizations. Call it what you want for the B's, rebuilding, retooling, low expectations, it doesn't matter. You can never count out anything unexpected from happening. You only need to look back at last year's playoff in the first round, between the Bruins and Panthers, to see where I make my point. Any given day...in ANY professional sports, you just can't say it's over until the last second has clicked off the clock or the last out is made. Tip my cap to the B's and to you Shannon on for your great analysis and feedback.
Good stuff, THG. That was awesome. I never understand why people throw crap on the ice. I Love BOB and Barkov is a warrior. Im so glad we resigned Gus Forsling cause that kid is an unreal D-man.#GOCATSGO #VEZINABOB

Bridge year for Boston. They exceeded expectations, but Florida has that very Montreal thing about them. Insufferable for Bruins fans. Didn’t expect to win the cup with roster, and I know people hate bruins fans, but 1 cup in 50 years is very frustrating for a market filled with generations of hockey fans and players. Oh well. Onto next year…
New York vs panthers was my prediction, but now it gets real hard to decide who moves on to cup finals. I’m thinking rangers win, but if panthers do pull off a hard fought win against New York, then they will win the cup no doubt.
Bruins got much further than expected after Kreji and Bergeron's departure. Not bad at all for a rebuilding year. The B's problem was their discipline: Not their lack of it. The surprise of these playoffs is going to be vengeance of the cardiac teams (Rangers and Canucks) when they make the finals, and mess up almost everyone's brackets. Florida counts on themselves being the most unpredictable team on the ice. They'll have trouble with NYR; Lord help them if they meet Van.
I am going to enjoy being neutral for that series. It's been exciting having an emotional investment in three of four series, but a break from that is nice too. That's where I am as much a hockey fan as I am of any specific team.
Swayman proved he's a true franchise goalie if there was ever any doubt. He carried the bruins all playoffs. If I'm the bruins I'd trade Ullmark for a center asap
I understand why people are complaining about the officiating. But as a Bruins fan, you cannot blame the series loss on it. This team has had some major flaws all season. They've rarely been able to play a full 60 minutes, and some games they just didn't show up at all. There are more problems, but those are major ones that proved to be costly in the playoffs. Florida absolutely deserved this win. Swayman can only put the team on his back for so long.
I gotta agree the better team won. Was there slight hope they would bring it back and at least have a 7th game...sure. The only thing I have to say about this game is Swayman deserved a better fate. I don't wanna say he "cost" them the game because...duh, he didn't. But that last goal was definitely one you'd like a save. And I only say that because of how out his mind he played all playoffs. I just wish if they had lost it woulda been on a crazy snipe or tick tac toe type deal. I hope Swayman doesn't beat himself up over that one or blame himself for the teams fate. Jim Montgomery said it best after the game. You can't win every game in the playoffs 2-1. Number 1 center is a must this offseason. I just hope it's not at the cost of Ullmark. See you in October B's
The number of complaints about Boston not getting favourable calls is funny. The reasons they lost: lack of team toughness, untimely defensive miscues, an inability to generate and sustain offensive pressure. The better team won.
Fans are all mad. What they don't remember is the bruins had the easiest schedule to start the year. Not many coaches could do what Monty did this year and get the results. I'm not mad they lost this series. It was expected. They need to get 2 decent ce ters this off-season. On to next year. Bruins fan.
Boston had one player, Swayman. Almost stole the entire series on his own. I was getting more and more nervous with each game and each save. I was saving my lucky charm for game 7, looks like I get to save it for the Rangers series. Good news, Dallas won. Now to see what Vancouver does.
I wonder if Pasta was hurt these whole playoffs, he looked off to me. Excited to see what the Bs do this offseason. Badly need a 1C and some more weapons on offense but they should have some cap space to work with
Agreed that the better team won this series. The B's had no offensive answer to the scoring depth of the Panthers 🏒. Hats off to Swayman, who played incredible 🥅
I’m over here in Boston feeling like this team was equivalent to the Sandlot (Pasta and everyone else) and certainly reached their potential for the season…Whoooo boy, not the same sentiment around town! Local radio and its accompanying RUclips stream is absolutely furious! Everybody is BIG MAD. Lol 🤷🏻♂️
2:16 Yes, it’s Wah-thur-spoon… something I’ve said a few million times in my life, lol. Not a Bruins fan, but I’d take a gifted Wotherspoon jersey! Or maybe he’ll be a Penguin some day. That’d be ideal.
Yep, not like I was trying to get this in before the next game started or anything. I don't have a script. Thanks for being the 876th person to point it out.
Honestly though. Did you think it would take this long into the playoffs for one of your teams to finally get knocked out? With two still knocking on the door to make the western conference finals it's gotta be pretty exciting (and probably nerve-racking).
The fact that Boston re-signed Wotherspoon is just astounding. He is absolutely the worst player on the ice (for either team) whenever he plays. Constantly misses passes (which often lead to icing calls), turns the puck over, has terrible gaps, takes dumb penalties...etc. Every time he and Peeke were out there, they were always hemmed in their own zone for their entire shift. Really not looking forward to another season of that. I didn't know hardly anything about him before this season, but now it's blatantly clear why he was a career AHL-er before this season. I would certainly hope the Bruins can find a few more serviceable defensemen this offseason so he can play in Providence (or if another team wants to claim him on waivers, feel free). And dear God...whoever is in charge of the defense; figure out your changes. 7 Too Many Men penalties in 13 games is just flat embarrassing.
The off season is going to be interesting for the Bruins. The can definitely use a high end center and don’t need two number one goalies. I hope the keep Montgomery. He only had so much to work with.
Bruins fan here. I'm disappointed with how this season ended, but at least it's not as bad as last season. Last season I was crushed. I hope that the Rangers get past the Panthers. Shannon, I'd love to see what you would do with this team in the off season to improve their center problems, and what changes they need to make to get more shots!
As a panthers fan AND THG fan, I feel bad that my team had to eliminate yours, but I will root for the stars & nucks to make up for it. (Unless they play my cats, of course)

Jim Montgomery said it best after the game. You can't win every game in the playoffs 2-1. Number 1 center is a must this offseason. I just hope it's not at the cost of Ullmark. See you in October B's
The number of complaints about Boston not getting favourable calls is funny. The reasons they lost: lack of team toughness, untimely defensive miscues, an inability to generate and sustain offensive pressure.
The better team won.
Gutted
Hopefully Bs retool for next season
Good luck to the Rangers & Panthers
LOVE how Shannon forgot Vancouver was still in the playoffs.🤣
Uh huh
People forget this was a bridge year for the bruins they lost a lot of players and still made it to the second round and made it hard for panthers
Fans are all mad. What they don't remember is the bruins had the easiest schedule to start the year. Not many coaches could do what Monty did this year and get the results. I'm not mad they lost this series. It was expected. They need to get 2 decent ce ters this off-season. On to next year. Bruins fan.
Boston had one player, Swayman. Almost stole the entire series on his own. I was getting more and more nervous with each game and each save. I was saving my lucky charm for game 7, looks like I get to save it for the Rangers series. Good news, Dallas won. Now to see what Vancouver does.
I wonder if Pasta was hurt these whole playoffs, he looked off to me.
Excited to see what the Bs do this offseason. Badly need a 1C and some more weapons on offense but they should have some cap space to work with
He’s just bad in the playoffs.
Agreed that the better team won this series. The B's had no offensive answer to the scoring depth of the Panthers 🏒. Hats off to Swayman, who played incredible 🥅
Panthers and Rags should be a good series.
Pastrnak is 2nd highest paid player in NHL. His playoff points put him at #36.
Who was on his line? The Bruins don't have a number one center.
@@TheHockeyGuyThe disrespect to Morgan Geekie smh
Pasta needs more top end guys in the top six.
Dude, you could totally play by play or color analysis for NHL games.
Stars vs Florida is the championship we want. But NY Rangers vs Edmonton is what would be epic
I’m over here in Boston feeling like this team was equivalent to the Sandlot (Pasta and everyone else) and certainly reached their potential for the season…Whoooo boy, not the same sentiment around town! Local radio and its accompanying RUclips stream is absolutely furious! Everybody is BIG MAD. Lol 🤷🏻♂️
Panthers vs Stars for the CUP
This game was pretty rough to watch. I don't know if the ice was bad, but the ability to corral passes was non-existent.
Swayman was great but Bobrovski was better tonight
2:16 Yes, it’s Wah-thur-spoon… something I’ve said a few million times in my life, lol. Not a Bruins fan, but I’d take a gifted Wotherspoon jersey! Or maybe he’ll be a Penguin some day. That’d be ideal.
Florida’s the one team left that hasn’t won the Cup?! Dude! DUUUUDE!!!
Boston fans keeping it classy by throwing bottles and cans during the handshake line.
That last comment about Florida being the last team left without a cup is funny considering who Shannon's favorite team is lmao
Yep, not like I was trying to get this in before the next game started or anything. I don't have a script. Thanks for being the 876th person to point it out.
Was a tight game.
9:55 You're forgetting about your other favorite team the Canucks
Yep, you're only the 656th person to say it.
@@TheHockeyGuy lol what a passive aggressive response
This is good final 4 teams since none of them has won the cup in this century yet.
Who are you rooting for if the west is DAL vs. VAN
Vancouver
Honestly though. Did you think it would take this long into the playoffs for one of your teams to finally get knocked out? With two still knocking on the door to make the western conference finals it's gotta be pretty exciting (and probably nerve-racking).
Fun drinking game: Scroll through the comments and take a shot every time someone points out the Canucks haven't won a cup.
That would be a lethal game.
The fact that Boston re-signed Wotherspoon is just astounding. He is absolutely the worst player on the ice (for either team) whenever he plays. Constantly misses passes (which often lead to icing calls), turns the puck over, has terrible gaps, takes dumb penalties...etc. Every time he and Peeke were out there, they were always hemmed in their own zone for their entire shift. Really not looking forward to another season of that. I didn't know hardly anything about him before this season, but now it's blatantly clear why he was a career AHL-er before this season. I would certainly hope the Bruins can find a few more serviceable defensemen this offseason so he can play in Providence (or if another team wants to claim him on waivers, feel free).
And dear God...whoever is in charge of the defense; figure out your changes. 7 Too Many Men penalties in 13 games is just flat embarrassing.
He was only in the lineup because of injuries to other defensemen. He's not going to play much next season because the injured players will come back.
The off season is going to be interesting for the Bruins. The can definitely use a high end center and don’t need two number one goalies. I hope the keep Montgomery. He only had so much to work with.
I was hoping Panthers win the series in 5 but i will take 6. Cup coming to Florida. Thanks Calgary for Thakuck.
They will get stomped by New York or Dallas.
@@mattgauthier7216 I’m sure you said Tampa and Boston would do the same 🤡
Bruins fan here. I'm disappointed with how this season ended, but at least it's not as bad as last season. Last season I was crushed. I hope that the Rangers get past the Panthers. Shannon, I'd love to see what you would do with this team in the off season to improve their center problems, and what changes they need to make to get more shots!
The Rags get past the Panthers only if Bettman's refs call a ton of soft penalties against Florida.
So great to see the panthers beat the bruins at home
As a panthers fan AND THG fan, I feel bad that my team had to eliminate yours, but I will root for the stars & nucks to make up for it. (Unless they play my cats, of course)
I think Swayman is the new Vasilevskiv. He is so tough to beat.
Let’s go Panthers!!!!!!!!
Too mamy men on the ic,e, ..not enough men shooting. Future looks bright with brazeau lohrei,beecher,and of course swayman.Peeke was pretty solid.
How long does that take u to write holy cow
The "all regular season" award, is down to Boston and Toronto...
10:00 when did Vancouver Canucks win a Stanley cup?
1005
9:55 Shannon if I remember correctly canucks have never won the cup either.😉Maybe a Vancouver Florida final?
