What a joke. shitty end to a great year. Maybe the biggest choke in my lifetime, definitely the most biting. The Bergeron era is most likely going to end on this piss poor, sour note. With the exception of 2011, this team's most memorable attribute will be not just shitting the bed at the worst time, but how they do it. It's uncanny. An unmitigated fucking gut punch, every single fucking time.

And for all the years that management didn't bring in the depth needed for the playoffs, they certainly did this year. That's why I put this one almost solely on the guys on the ice. They had this series and flubbed it away time and again.

I turned it off as soon as FLA scored and glad I did. Bergeron deserved better than this type of send off. And by that I mean getting ready for the next round, not packing up his locker for the last time.

Marchand and Bergeron were each -6 in series and Bergweron played only 2 games..Still say they should of stuck with lineup that won 2 games in Florida..But it is what it is and not a damn thing we can do about it..I just feel so GD bad for every Bruin fan, honestly thats what hurts the most..Especially everyone here, you all deserve SO much more..

Well management did their part, the roster was good enough to go deep. Head’s should roll, this was an embarrassment. Our style of play killed us in the end. The playoffs has always been about strong defensive structure and we only knew how to play one way. A run and gun system was never going to work in the playoffs.
This loss is going to have such a ripple effect. Our roster was going to be ripped apart either way because of the cap but this makes it hurt all the more.
All the best to the guys here, this is a tough one.

All the best to the guys here, this is a tough one. So true.. and the sad fact is we saw in games 3-4 what the team could do without DK and Bergy. so it wasn't a lack of talent issue.. but with that said there was still too many passengers.. Lindholm may have been the biggest disappointment.. if he had played the way he had all season the B's sweep Florida I'm sure of it.. Even McAvoy who was a beast the first 4 games seemed subdued a bit the last 3 games. over worked? injured? guess we'll find out. this loss just stings so bad because of how high they set the expectations when they steamrolled the league for 82 games just to lose in a manner that was quite frankly so out of character. and they got huge contributions from Orlov and Bertuzzi but in the end something so simple as forechecking hard and taking the walls away.. a tactic I use with my 10U teams.. they couldn't over come..

Two things I asked back in October. Can this type of run and gun system work in the playoffs and can you win with two 37 year old centers? Two silly questions at the time because of the start we got off to. I was happy to be along for the ride all season that’s what makes the ending that much worse. If not Florida it would have been the Leafs, our style was great for the regular season but wouldn’t work in the playoffs.

I don't blame the "Run & Gun" plays cost the play offs. They didn't run & gun, they just couldn't contain the Cats in the Dzone. They were relentless in pressing forcing the Bruins into give aways. Out coached??? more like out played (except gm 6 Swayman should've started). Krejci was done & never should've played in post season. Bergy is just plain worn out, but as the warrior/captain he is it would've taken a LOT to keep him out. The team won all those games & lost them when they needed the wins the most. I'm PO'd that they lost, especially when they were 3-1 coming home. As long as the Loafs don't get to the finals that will take a little of the sting away. Next season is a whole new crap shoot, but I'll be watching for sure!! Have a great summer Bruins fans!

I think the thing that drove me up the wall the most were the d zone exits. How many times did they try the cute pass through a Florida player, or have absolutely no mustard on one that all the opposing player to do was reach out, stop it and transition it. It's like they forgot basic clearing etiquette - if you don't have clean play send it hard up the boards, off the glass, or fucking lob it out if you have to. Florida's main game is the forecheck and you're playing right into it with piss poor efforts like that. I don't have the time, or the will to go back through the video to look, but I am betting 80-90% of the goals that Florida scored in this series were a direct result of lazy, half ass, brain dead passes trying to come out of their own end. Goddamn, it was giving me fits nightly.

This one stings for sure but all the elements were there for this type of let down. The Game 5 gaffe by Ullmark in OT (very uncharacteristic puck handling for him). The Game 6 "hand pass" review on Debrusk (an inconsequential, unintentional graze of the finger tips of the glove). The Game 7 nervousness (going down 2-0) and general garbage clearing attempts and passing. Our 5 on 5 play was terrible when it mattered the most. Florida's D really outworked and outplayed us (blocking shots, creating turnovers and exiting their zone). Our defense...I found myself wondering WTF are these guys doing more plays than not.
Some years you just don't have it in the playoffs and unfortunately this is one of those years.

I remember a few winning streaks this year where we actually locked things down defensively. For the most part our other wins were mostly about creating scoring chances and turning it up in the third and out scoring the opponent. We were calm, we were confident and we knew we were in every game. We had the talent and if it works you stick with it.
The playoffs are about emotion, the tempo goes up to the next level and you have to lock things down, we couldn’t achieve any of that. We just weren’t ready to do what it takes and our regular season success had us resting on our laurels. I’m curious to see what comes out of this disaster. Sweeney and Neely must be fuming. Changes to personnel were coming anyway but I wonder do they stop at the obvious changes.

Got beat by a better team. They were stronger down the middle, on the forecheck and in goal. Forty two turnovers in the last 3 games. Horrible break on the tying goal. Bergy blocks the shot from the point that ends up right on Montour’s stick. Gryz in perfect position to block the game winner turns away to defend an invisible pass……end of season. Enjoy the summer everyone.

Enjoy the summer everyone. They were the better team in this playoff series but they aren’t a better team. Before game one we were better in goal, had a stronger faster D and our depth at the forward was unmatched. Florida had a game plan and they executed the game plan. I watched most of this series and I don’t know what our game plan was. I think we thought we just had to play our cute regular season hockey and we’d be fine. A lot of questions need to be answered, no way should this have happened.

@nhlbruins . Like all teams ; players grit it out to play through major injuries in the Playoffs. My sources tell me soon to be Vezina G Ullmark was playing through a debilitating & painful injury that limited his mobility and technique.
He shouldn’t have played then ?
