Pasta has played with berg/marchand for 5+ years, no excuses he needs to wake up.. its simple, i feel this is space jam all over, someone took his talent
Florida's physical play is forcing quick decisions. Since Monti keeps f****ng with the lines, players don't instinctively know where their teammates are, so they make bad quick choices. He needs to set lines and leave them! Pasta is getting shut down because ofit.
The inconsistent play really concerns me. The on a whim line changes really concern me. The brain dead turnovers really concern me. The weak blue line entries really concern me. Ullmark starting to play out of the net really concerns me….. We’re playing this post season like it’s pre season…. We should’ve easily dealt with them but instead our horrific play is keeping them alive. They haven’t done anything to win any of their games except just being on the ice. We’ve literally given them the vast majority of their goals. If we keep this BS up then we can kiss that Cup goodbye along with Bergy, Krejci, our impressive stats and the ripped out souls of this fan base….
He does this every fuckinh playoffs. Dissapears . EVERY PLAYOFFS. Just like Mathews.
It's simple. He does not play well against hard checking teams in a playoff environment. Just look at the Stanley Cup Finals against St. Louis a few years back. He is soft plain and simple. Thankfully is huge in the regular season and helps the. get here. Now it's up to guys like Bergeron, Marchand, Coyle, Hall, and Bertuzzi to hopefully replace Pastas goal output. So far Marchand and Hall have been doing that. Coyle looks very strong in the playoffs atmosphere. Go Bruins!!
Milbury- The most hated, failed Bruin of all time- A Wimp.
I’m blame the bogus lines on the slow start. These were brand new lines. In a fuckin elimination game. Then he has the audacity to say in his interview that he’s not sure why the boys had a slow start. Bud really? Don’t let the shots fool you that was their worst game of the season. Top to bottom they were terrible.
He disappears every playoffs why are you guys surprised. Any bruins fan knew this was a serious possibility and more than likely, I was hoping maybe 11 milly over some years would let him
Relax a little more
Stop fucking with the lines…I expect a big game from pasta down in FL
There are games he looks like he is the best in the game, but last night he was just cruising around wacking at the puck, almost waiting for something to happen instead of making it happen. He was not skating very hard or hustling last night which makes me think he is possibly nursing an injury.
He plays for the Bruins. Choking franchise has choking players.
This is why I was nervous about them investing that much money into Pastrnak. He's just not built for the playoffs. He's so soft, and makes so many bad decisions. He needs to make better decisions and get a little stronger on the puck. I'm not expecting him to be Bergeron, but he really needs to tighten up his game.
Put swayman in for the love of god
Like hearing Milbury. He's hockey's Charles Barkley.
Didn't know he was anti Biden. No wonder he got fired from ESPN for a benign comment
Can we say 3 straight losses and 3 at home as well? bye bye overrated bruins, AND LOSING TO THE WORST TEAM IN THE PLAY-OFFS, PANTHERS EAT PASTA, ANOTHER OVER RATED PLAYER
sO FUNNY, FUNNY BOTH BOSTON TEAMS GET BOUNCED IN THE FIRST ROUND, NOW BOSTON MOONBATS CAN FOCUS ON IMPORTANT THINGS FOR LIBS…PUTTING MEN IN GIRLS BATHROOMS
Pasta leading the team in minutes on ice is a fuckin joke. The Bruins won't win shit with him on the ice more than everybody else.
They haven’t realized the playoffs and beating a team like Buffalo in January are two massively different things.
What wrong? Can’t pass doesn’t make good decisions with the puck,with the exception of scoring hurts the power play rather than helping it sorry but every time he handles the puck I cringe.
Noticed a general awkwardness from his movements a few times I hadn't seen. However I only watched the bruins for ~70% of their final 41 games
The Panthers had so many injuries and illness over the course of the season that everyone has played with everyone so for us chemistry is not a concern. Bergeron coming back actually hurt the Bruins. After game two they redid the lines and beat the crap out of us for two games. Patrice comes back and they redo the lines again and changed the matchups that were working. This series is gonna be decided in OT of game 7.
Is this WCNN, Pastrnak didn't score 9 goals last night so he's going to Providence DRAMA
