I hate the way we play, Montgomery can’t be fired soon enough. Also if Sweeney doesn’t add some toughness to the roster he needs to be sent packing as well. Put the Yutes out there with wheels, nope put out the Guys who are dog tired Or put 4 guys out and hope the refs don't notice I guess.

Another blown lead. They do know a game is 60 minutes right?

We ran out of gas in the third but when we play not to lose and try to kill off the entire third period you get what you deserve.

Boeser left all alone to screen the goalie on the tying goal and all alone again on the winning goal. Fucking soft bullshit defense again.

Bruins have gone 8 straight games without a regulation win for the first time since Jan-Feb 2010

Ouch...
The Bruins are now 25-1-7 when leading after two periods this season. That .758 winning percentage ranks 27th in the NHL. Only the Coyotes, Islanders, Blackhawks, Sharks, and Blue Jackets have been worse.

I know the NHL has a stat for everything so I'm wondering if they have one for the team that has had the most empty net opportunities and not scored an ENG in a season. Alongside that one, I'd like to know how many times they've allowed goals in those situations as well as how many of those games they've gone on to lose. I'd have to think that this team's gotta be top 3.

I don’t think there is an easy fix to this teams constant choking out games if anything it will only get worse. For Myself the Coach is over playing are core players and are gassed when it counts . Sitting the Yutes with ten minutes left and a two nothing lead is a disaster for both parties. We need to inspire the Yutes sure they will make mistakes but how they learn.
The other problem is every team in the league is more Physical than this group , this team is big there just soft . Pasta Marchand and MacAvoy are getting pounded night in night out with zero response, and when we respond we get are ass kicked killing any momentum.
I don’t think this management is capable of building a team playoff worthy sorry , the blueprint hasn’t changed forever and we are actually trending the wrong way . I hate the way the Bruins have been neutered.

Montgomery had that same look on his face after the tying goal last night as he did in all of our playoff losses last year. He’s out of answers and has no fresh ideas. He has his system and that’s it, his only move is to put the lines in the blender.
We don’t win enough of defensive zone draws, we’re too passive in our own end, we don’t block shots and we spend extended stretches in our own end to the point of exhaustion. Our biggest problem is Monte.

They need to be more aggressive instead of packing it in….too bad the 1st 2 lines are too tired to do it because he sits the 4th line all the time.

Even if you remove coaching from the equation, this team is a victim of its own prolonged success and we're now in the back half, or even bottom end of the cycle. When management has traded away picks and assets for the annual kick at the can, this is ultimately the end result. I honestly believe last season was our last best shot at another Cup and we all know how that ended. I really wish that CN and DS has simply acknowledged that and began rebuilding, but nope, gotta keep them asses in the seats. And to a degree, I get it, it's a business, but sacrificing long term future success for some short term gains is what got this team where it was pre 2008-ish. And if it's any consolation, we're not alone - DET, COL, PITT and several other successful teams have hit the wall and gone through this. TB is currently in very much the same boat as us. And the thing is, a full on gutting of this current Bruins team is not needed, but some hard decisions will need to be made. If it's me, I see what you can get for Grz, Lindholm, DeBrusk and Ullmark now. Picks, solid prospects, whatever it takes to get younger and start building another core. This spiral will continue if not addressed and we'll go back to being also rans for a decade, or more.

Agree I get we’re on the back nine of a long run , but their blueprint for success (post season) is very flawed . I think all here will agree losing sucks but the utter choking out games is getting old .

Not a playoff team. Not hard to play against.

Our biggest problem is Monte. I feel like he's the Russian coach in Miracle. No idea what to do next. His weakness is managing players and their talents--he admitted a few days ago he's been going to the well with certain players too often. I like Monty as a human, but his coaching skills have touched the ceiling.

CN and DS have been here along time and they’ve done a good job of drafting and acquiring talent considering we’ve been at the top of the league and buyers almost every deadline. What they haven’t done is address the need for toughness in the lineup. It’s Boston FFS it’s not California, no offence to the people of California. Chiarelli wasn’t great at drafting, even worse at keeping costs down but he knew the importance of building a tough team. Toughness won us the cup in 2011, yes we obviously had talent but that by itself doesn’t get you to the finals. We lost in 2019 to a tougher team but definitely not more talented. Last year we lost to a tougher team in the first round but we were by far a more talented team. So we should part ways with both Neely and Sweeney for not figuring this out during their time here.
I see Montgomery’s style as a polar opposite of Butch. Cassidy was more defensive and tougher or more abrasive on the players which got him fired but Montgomery is Mr. Nice Guy and more about feelings and making most of the team happy. His offensive game plan so far has been good for regular season success but a first round exit should lead to his demise this year. Some say with the way he was out coached last year he should have been axed then.
