Well they won a couple that they could have easily lost so you knew they were gonna lose against this team,road trip should be fun,should figure out who the starting goalie for the playoffs is gonna be.If Lindgren and Trouba would have been playing they would have pounded the Bruins into submission

Rags are good. If Coyle’s a passenger they’re sunk. Have a passive system in their end because they have passive defensemen. The goalie rotation is appeasement.

Top 6 Bruin players were -3 each while Brazeau on the 4th line was a +2..I hate to see lines changed yet again but get Brazeau off 4th line, he also assisted on 1st goal..Marchand needs to get out of this funk and Jack, sry you were right 1st time as he's stuck on 399 NOT 298..Personally I would reunite Marchand and Pasta, maybe Brazeau with Geekie and DeBrusk..I would put Coyle back on 3rd line yet you dont want all those changes just before playoffs so it's a bit of a tough situation..We have all been complaining about different lineups every night so what can they do?? Stick with those lines or changes again before playoffs..It's a tough call and Im happy I dont have to make it. Here's the Boxscore... www.espn.com/nhl/boxscore/_/gameId/401560325 |

My biggest take away from last night was that Swayman is in a funk, if Ullmark was in and played the way he played against Ottawa we win that game. We give up a ton of chances every game and when you don’t get timely saves it makes all the difference in the world.

We give up a ton of chances every game and when you don’t get timely saves it makes all the difference in the world. You may be right about Swayman, but the story line remains the same - they score to go ahead, or tie, take the next bunch of shifts off and blow it. I honestly haven't seen anything like this in all my years of watching this team. The only time I can remember a team with this type of recurring brain cramps/laziness/situational awareness lapses was the Dave Lewis one. I understand they're tops, or were tops in the league right now, but take away the loser points from all the OTs and we're a bubble team. Their inability to recognize the situation and bear down to close games out is going to be their undoing in a few weeks. Edit: And how many of those OT games were ones we had the lead in late and blew? I don't know the number off hand, but I think I mentioned before - how many of those were us coming back to tie as opposed to ones we were leading and choked out the lead? I'm betting way more the latter than the former. |

When opposing teams have their push back in games or get a wave of momentum we never quite know how to handle it. It turns into a shit show in our zone and the only thing that seems to save us is timely big saves until we regroup. We’re too passive defensively in our end during 5 on 5 play but ironically killing penalties we’re super aggressive. Our PK is good so maybe Monte can wake up and smell the coffee and make some adjustments. |

Yup, as much as I hesitate to blame the coach in situations like this, it's becoming more and more frequent and I believe Monty has to share at least some of the blame. Conversely, why I generally don't like to blame the coaching, especially at this level is that these guys are pros and in this instance, the mistakes they're making are of the absolutely basic, game management kinds of mistakes and/or straight up laziness. These lapses in play shouldn't be happening this frequently with a group of guys most of whom are veterans and should know better. A game where this happens here and there, OK I get it, it's a long season, but these aren't isolated incidents, it's become the norm. |

Side bar, why is that known Hab fan in our locker room calling our starting lineup 🤮 |

I think you feel it's mostly coaching and I feel it's a combo of coaching and players just being too comfortable. But I do agree, I think Monty's coaching style may have run its course with this group, especially if they bow out early next month. Which I absolutely expect and am prepared for. It's funny - I felt like they should have kept Butch when they canned him, Monty shows up and they have the best season in league history...but then Butch wins the Cup and Monty's team shit all over themselves in the 1st round. You may be more right than I want to admit.  Yeah, what the hell is up with that? |

Maybe they can watch the film of getting scored on twice with the empty net and learn a thing or two. Embarrassing to see the Ranger hats litter the ice for Panarin's hat trick. Rags are a really good team. Expectations for the playoffs are at an all time low this year for me.
Have to agree on the Celine Dion thing. What the fuck were they thinking? That's not a good look for the team. If she was a Bruins fan or something okay but she's not - plain and simple. Whoever made that decision should be canned lol.

You may be more right than I want to admit. Yeah, what the hell is up with that? I turned off the game yesterday and went to sit out on my patio. It's only the 3rd time in my life I've turned off a game. With the roster we have I cannot even believe that we still have a 3rd period strength problem. WTF. Monty made some comment after the game about..."we shouldn't be tired." Well, Monty, they're your players...why are they shitting the bed still in the 3rd? I wanted to think this was a conditioning problem, but it's so repetitive that I have to think it's a "I don't care" problem. They put up a decent effort in the 3rd compared to other games, so why isn't there a "W"? WHY isn't there a player who can score a goal in clutch situations when the game is on the line? Why do you turn to on your roster? I don't know that we can blame Sway...I think he's having a mediocre stretch and that happens. The D was god awful yesterday, especially Lindholm. Our play in the neutral zone is weak weak weak and the entry is not working well. The play gets very "hot potatoish" when they start to struggle and there isn't cohesiveness. How do we create a strong finish to our game? |

There's a lot of confusion on the ice at times when there are too many black and gold jerseys in one spot, or there's no one at the end of a pass and the puck just gets turned over |

I look at the Ottawa game and see a ton of similarities to the Ranger’s game. Ottawa is not nearly as good as the Rags but they dominated us in the second period, if not for Ullmark making huge saves we’d be trailing going into the third period and maybe the outcome is different. My point is about our defensive system, it’s been horrible all year but most nights our goalies save us.

There's a lot of confusion on the ice at times when there are too many black and gold jerseys in one spot, or there's no one at the end of a pass and the puck just gets turned over 100% agree and like you, I dont like blaming the coach but I would love to know what Bruins record would have been with another coach..I mean, how much credit do Monty deserve for last yrs historical season and so far this season?? I really liked what KJC said about how Bruins are SO agressive on the PK..Where is that agression 5 on 5?? I mean those 3rd period lapses are coming just before the playoffs,not good..Monty has been juggling lines all season, not sure how you create really good chemistry when your linemates keep being changed,, This years playoffs I believe will determine Monty's fate and for the sake of all Bruin fans, I hope this is the year they win it all.IF they won last night after Florida losing, Bruins would of been THAT much closer to finishing 1st and not having to play Leafs 1st rd.. I'm not overly concrned with Marchand and Coyles recent slump scoring wise..When the post season begins, Coyle and Marchand will be at their VERY BEST, I truly believe that..And WHAT do Wotherspoon have to do to stay in lineup..Seems to me Monty is playing Shattenkirk alot lately..One more, it's a coin toss as to who our Game 1 goaltender is..I would much rather Sway slump a little now than later but he needs to prove he's capable of carrying this team and he's running out of time and he's due a contract.. Long story short, Bruins have problems that should of been resolved months ago and that concerns me..Hope you all have a super weekend!! |
