people were saying Jim Montgomery should win coach of the year before playoffs, now most Boston fans want him fired.. 🤦♂️
tough tough week for Boston..
Blame Panthers because they just play better 😉✌🏻
Don’t worry still gonna get 120 points or more next year no matter who’s in the lineup because that’s the CULTURE but again no cup and probably another game 7 loss at home…😂😂😂😂😂 go Vegas go Bruce Cassidy yesssss
Did anyone mention 1971? They set all those records like Esposito and they got beat by a rookie goalie.
In the end this is ALL on Jim. He shouldn’t have started Forbert and Foligno who were out for months in game one, should have pulled Uhlmark in game 5, Bergy came back to soon, to much and he shouldn’t have moved players in and out after a win. All these bad decisions magnified the players insecurities and a a a whole they choked.
C'mon with the placing blame BS.. WTF.. Wins in sports aren't guaranteed, no matter the team. Florida did hockey harder than the B's. It happens.
The Bruins played this series with no ♡ or soul. Whose idea was it to have Marchand play Lady Bing-like? And what was up with Bergeron's injury and all the secrecy? Something wasn't right but it is hard to put a finger on it.
For the players, the regular season is for your next contract. The game is wide open, no hitting, and lots of entertainng speed. As long as you make the Top 8 teams in your conference, you make it to.the Play-offs, where the game and even the officiating changes. Boston had a few key injuries and met a team that loafed in, well rested and constructed for Play-off hockey.Most recently Tampa and the Florida Panthers have had the same sad experience. The 82 game season means squat.
Simply answer. Squarely on the coaches and the players of the team.
Should have kept Bergeron and Krecj out. Coyle was great with Marchand.
Ulmark reminded me of Rask. He acts like he doesn't give a Fu#$.
Bald-Headed Coach is100 percent to blame
Like Mike tells it like it was, eei/GHMS needs to have more B’s talk, need to get Sophia Jurksztowicz as regular on show!!! Go B’s, miss LB
They were too soft and not built for the playoffs. Simple as that. If they were playoff ready they would have closed it off in game 5.
Milbury is right – we Bruin fans will not forget for a looooooooooooong time because it will take a loooooooooong time for them to ice a team even close to as good as what we thought this was. Cannot believe they were not tougher for the playoffs. Didn’t learn from the 2019 finals vs St Louis.
As a Panther fan no bruins fan/ media outlet has admitted that you just got out played. We out worked you and had way more heart. Let's go Panthers!!!!
😂 it's was clearly a team effort 🎉🎉
Bruins suuuuuuckked. Choketown.
Coach Mongomery. He stuck with Linus Ullmark and he wound up giving up 11 goals is 2 games.
He never adjusted his defense on the panthers. I lost count on how many times Rinehart was wide open in the middle of the ice.
Too many mental lapses. He didn't even call a time out to re- strategize.
LeeeNus Pullmark.
2010 Bruins. 2013 Bruins 2019 Bruins 2023 Bruins..
Blame the Senators of 2007 because Florida played the exact same neutral zone trap effectively.
