He let Bergeron run the room last year and the boys followed Bergy's example and played a workmen like game most nights. They played with structure. The playoffs the wheels fell off when Monty panicked.. we're seeing it again. and I love Marchy but he's in over his head as the captain.

Am I overreacting when I say they haven't looked this uninspired and passion less since the Dave Lewis experiment? I know there's such a thing as recency bias, but man, these guys look lost. Maybe Brandon Bochenski will come out of retirement.

The playoffs the wheels fell off when Monty panicked.. we're seeing it again. I love Marchy but he's in over his head trying to lead this group. He's very good at gaslighting the press. And totally agree with you. I dont see a lot of solid changes to adjust for the poor play. Thats a coaching issue.

Give it a couple of weeks and Sweeney will have to pull a Billy Guerin and make coaching change.

Brick: "What can help this team" Monty:"Well we get to practice Wed before playing Thurs, that should help everything."
"We have to hold each other accountable and have a good practice."
What?! smdh

What?! smdh Wow...I know he's a players' coach, but Goddamn. If that's how this team is being run, I guess there's really no mystery as to why they're tanking.

Bag skate them for 55 minutes then make them skate for 5 more. Glad I had no power so I couldn't watch.

I don’t think this is about effort except maybe for the fact that we never finish checks but it’s mostly because everyone looks lost out there or they’re just not buying in. Monte will be gone before Christmas if he doesn’t fix this.

I'd really like to just see a team that is hard to play against for a night again. That's the first thing I think they need to change. They need to pass the eye test again. Start hitting everything that moves, make it a rough night on the other team and the wins will pile up again. Play with some fucking grit! On a few of the goals I find myself shaking my head thinking "WTF are the defense doing?" They aren't tying guys up, aren't playing any position at all, aren't winning any battles. They are absolute bystanders! It is soft and totally pathetic. They stand their like fucking pylons and watch the puck go in the back of the net.
Lindholm and Shatty - 0 hits. How do you play damn near 20 minutes a night as a defensemen and not hit a single guy? Is this rec hockey? Talk about taking the night off! End rant!

And HOW is it all the coaches fault when players are not even hitting or retaliating when our guys get hit?? Crafar said something like 'It seems like the team is giving up on the coach"..Maybe thats it but this lack of physical play is fucking killing us..Bruins are 0-3 since Grzelyk returned and Lohrei was sent down..Is that a coincidence?? HOW did this team go from the best in the league to one of the worst as of now?? SO many questions but no answers and its so damn complicated!! Ory, love your post and agree 100%..Hit everything that moves and if for no other reason, just to prove to your teammates you had enough of this crap!!

Getting this team to hit everything that moves is the equivalent of teaching a cat to bark. It’s never really been our game.
We won early because of our stellar goaltending, we fed off that confidence and played well for a while. Injuries hit, we got a little lazy or cocky and our goalies don’t look as sharp now. I really don’t see us as any kind elite team. We lost too much talent and leadership in the offseason and replaced it with bargain bin players. It just couldn’t last.
