Aloha bitches. I come in peace. Nothing can be said that hasn't already been shouted out. But I will say that what we saw is the reason why i stopped following so closely after the 2019 Cup debacle. My take is this falls on Montgomery. Not using the very capable Swayman when Ullmark was injured and clearly not himself. The rotation worked well all year and SWayman could be a starter on another team. And the bizarre lineup shuffling.Pardon the spelling, but Jim Montgomery is not a wartime consiglierie. (how do you spell this word? I assume you all talked about the dumb dumb dumb decision to let Bergeron play in that last reg season game vs Montreal. A team with a history of being bad luck for bruins all this right here Although, honestly, I'm over it. Was what it was

Was what it was Kovs it was over for me after we lost Game5..Had that feeling I had when we were up 3-0 and lost to Philly..Knew we were in serious trouble and will forever question why Monty never stuck with EXACT LINES that won games 3 and 4 in Florida, they dominated both games..But as you said and I agree, it is what it is, hockey season is over for me..

I heard Bergeron say he played against Montreal because he had talked about it with Monte, he had his rest days and they wanted their full lineup as much as possible to play together before game 1.
We beat a useless Montreal team, we put in almost no effort, we looked horrible and if that was ramping up for the playoffs then I can why we didn’t make it out of round 1.
I’d happy to never be the first overall or the favourite to win it all ever again. Winning regular season games without working for half of them really fucks with a players mind.

I think they misread where the weakness of the team was.. Dimitri Orlov was a luxury item they didn't need.. Bertuzzi luxury item not needed.. First on the list should have been a center to hedge against injury and the other was a physical left shot D that can clear the net once the playoffs started when interference penalties aren't called anymore.. Carolina and Tampa the biggest hurdles to coming out of the East play heavy in your face hockey.. you can't tell me that Don and co didn't know this yet they went and got more offense? Hathaway??? honestly if Hathaway had been the only addition maybe they still lose to Florida but my gut say's no. won't even get into the fact that even if they did still lose.. having not mortgaged 2 first rounders would have made it sting less.. Just a reminder that Pasta was a 1st rd 25th overall.. or we can talk about all the rookie mistakes Monty made.. experimenting with lines that were working and didn't need tampering with.. zero conviction in his decision making and zero intensity behind the bench.. I will say he is a great guy and was a breath of fresh air for the core with his positive attitude but in the end he rode the Bergy farewell tour bus to a regular season crown.. and when they needed a leader of men he wilted and deferred. see Goalie Bob etc. Wasted year for sure as next year this team won't be as deep as it was even pre deadline 2023.. and zero future for a few years to boot.
