Well at least he's admitting what we've been seeing/posting! Recognizing the problem is a start, eh!?

Well at least he's admitting what we've been seeing/posting! Recognizing the problem is a start, eh!? Kevin, I think thats what we all want from Monty, to show more toughness, be tough on your players..Personally I think Monty is a great coach and maybe he would be even better if he had a bad temper or something..I dunno if roaring and bauling at veteran players do much good but someone off the ice needs to lead and that HAS to be the coach..IF he has a plan in place and the team isnt buying into it, we have a serious problem..But if Bruins are slipping and coach has no answers, even bigger problem..Whatever is going on right now needs to be fixed really fast..Bruins have surprised us all season and it has often happened when we dont expect it..Something like when we beat Leafs twice and should of beat EDM but we did take 4/5 points during a stretch we were all concerned about..Just maybe with the Panther and TB coming up, they do exact same thing..Bruins should be fighting like hell to finish first to avoid TOR, TB and instead playing Washington, Islanders whoever finishes 8th..IF Rangers or Carolina finish 1st, very good chance Bruins play the 1st wildcard which currently is Tampa..WIN your division and good chance you still play TB but who you prefer, Leafs or Lightning???

Yeah he need to address the short comings like end of periods GAA, all the non OT/SO wins. Stop shuffling lines & bench Grz too!! The Loafs they don't have the winning post season experience (LOL) not the goal tending Bolts have. We also could play Wings 1st round too? The Bolts have more pts then Cryers BUT because of F'N Gary Buttman's STUPID format the Cryers are seeded higher!!

I never did like this wild card thing..I;m a firm believer in 1st vs 8th, 2nd vs 7th etc..That avoids 1st playing 2nd in Rd 2 which makes no sense..IF Bruins finish 1st overall and Florida 2nd overall, they meet in 2nd round if both teams win their opening round..That makes zero sense to me..Also, this EAST VS WEST in SCF isnt right either!! Maybe forget the travel part altogether and have 1st vs 16th, maybe thats how it should be..No doubt its the fairest way..

As much as we were so confident a year ago at this point and with all the uncertainty this year you still have to play the games and hope for the best. 🍺

Tonight’s game will show where we are with regards to being ready for the playoffs. I don’t necessarily need a win but effort, physical play and strong details and determination is everything to being successful in any 7 game series.
This team is so confounding that I can see us beating the best in the playoffs but I can also see us losing to the Wings, Caps or Islanders. We’re not a stacked team but there is a recipe for winning with this group and on the flip side it can also easily go horribly wrong.

Swayman needs a strong game tonight. His last three games were sub .900 in save%. .810 .828 .897
Weirdly he is 3-2 this month and Ullmark is 3-2-1.

We’re not a stacked team but there is a recipe for winning with this group and on the flip side it can also easily go horribly wrong. Great post and it explains precisely how Bruins have been all season..KJC, the one stat I do like is our record against higher ranked teams compared to the bottom feeders..Actually I believe our record is worst against middle of the road teams like Detroit,Philly, St Louis etc... I have zero clue what to expect come postseason..Are we better off playing a Leaf team 1st round OR working our tail off in an attempt to finish first in the East or overall.. Some nights this Bruin team looks like a legit cup contender while other nights not so good. For sure Swayman hasnt been the same past month and your stats prove that..Thats why we dont even know who starts game one..Whoever wants it bad enough needs to show it..Career wise, tonight just might be one of Swaymans most important reg season starts, same with Ullmark tomorrow night..

A win tonight would go a long way! Florida is 5-4-1 in their last 10 so not exactly hot by any means! Monty really called our guys out here lately - time for a response game!

AND they got shutout twice their past 5 games, Panthers recent games posted below..You're right on Ory, we need a statement game tonight for sure and they play this same Panther team 1st game after this 6 game road trip..Tonight, Swayman needs a big game and tomorrow against Tampa, Ullmark needs the same..I'm predicting a low scoring 2-1 victory..And even if they lose, IF they play a solid 60 minutes, I dont even care if its another overtime game as long as the effort is there..Coyle and Marchand need to hit the scoresheet both games. www.google.com/search?q=Florida+Panthers+schedule&gs_ivs=1#sie=t;/m/0j8js;7;/m/05gwr;mt;fp;1;;;&tts=0

Looks like JVR sits tonight with Jacob Lauko replacing him on 3rd line..Lauko is a hard worker but do he belong on 3rd line while Bruins have 2 centremen in Boqvist and Beecher on 4th line?? Geekie is the 3rd line centre but the problem is he cant win a faceoff..Freddy has a better winning% than Geekie so maybe they should switch places or at least give him the FO's..Bruins are getting killed in the circle as Beecher and Zacha are our best and theyre only winning 54.7% while Coyle is just over 50%, everyone else well under 50%..It really hurts them especially special teams.. thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/latest-news/notable-bruins-forward-facing-potential-scratch
