The objective was clear: win a hockey game. And boy did they. The Boston Bruins held on and held their own in a nailbiter of a game 5 in Sunrise, Florida. With a game 6 in Boston, do they have what it takes to stave off elimination again? 📲Follow us on X @TapetoTapeMK ➡️https://twitter.com/TapetoTapeMK 📲Join our Discord: ➡️ https://discord.gg/AQfC73RbnS 📒Show Notes:📒 ⚫Swayman continues to hold on to the top goalie position in the entire league ➡️ https://www.moneypuck.com/goalies.htm

Needless to say, Maria and Karoline are displeased with the league's disregard for the black and white rules and for player safety. Besides dealing with the clowns in black and white, the Bruins continue to struggle at the face off dot and on the power play. The execution challenges of the last 5 years also have returned. Is the end of the season near? We hope not.   📲Follow us on X @TapetoTapeMK ➡️https://twitter.com/TapetoTapeMK 📲Join our Discord: ➡️ https://discord.gg/AQfC73RbnS   📒Show Notes:📒 🟡Obvious sucker punch by Bennet on Marchand in game 3➡️ https://twitter.com/emilymkaplan/status/1790073754589986988?s=43&t=X9aeYmlc-MyP1-tytMtg6A ⚫Pat Maroon speaks at the press conference on May 13 ➡️ https://twitter.com/_TyAnderson/status/1790059433759789400 🟡Horrible non-call relating to goalie interference ➡️ https://twitter.com/ScoutingTheRefs/status/1789829802037215470

It was expected that Florida would come back hard and fast and it's a game that got away from the refs. We welcome in special guests, our Too Many Men friends of the pod, Adrian and Moe to talk about game two. What went well and what didn’t in the game we all expected to go Florida’s way? 📲Follow us on X @TapetoTapeMK ➡️https://twitter.com/TapetoTapeMK 📲Join our Discord: ➡️ https://discord.gg/AQfC73RbnS   📒Show Notes:📒 ⚫Pasta talks about fight with Tkachuk ➡️https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUcsa550_nw Game 2 highlights➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUR_usp5vxQ

The Boston Bruins decimate the Leafs with an unbelievable over time goal by David Pastrnak in game 7 and keep the ball rolling into game 1 against the Panthers. Jim Montgomery is out of Maria’s dog house…for now! And Jeremy Swayman is making an excellent case for best player in the league. 📲Follow us on X @TapetoTapeMK ➡️https://twitter.com/TapetoTapeMK 📲Join our Discord: ➡️ https://discord.gg/AQfC73RbnS 📲 Maria is on Twitter/X @MariaofH2OTown 📒Show Notes:📒 ⚫Nobody comes close to Jeremy Swayman ➡️ https://www.moneypuck.com/goalies.htm
