Embarrassing ! They thought all they had to do was step on the ice. Bill Buckner can rest in peace. Biggest choke of all time. Out coached out muscled and out played.
Bruins played Florida 4 times over the regular season and split the wins, BEFORE Fla. picked up Tkatchuck… That tells you everything you need to know. The only stats that matter for the first round in are those.
I said from the beginning that the Bruins were making a fatal error by putting Ullmark as the one and only starter. They should have kept their winning rotation with him and Swayman. Once they messed with that rotation, the whole team also started to unravel. Took themselves too seriously and tried to over-control instead of just carrying on and enjoying the moment.
Boston are a good team but not that good! 60% of teams are rebuilding. Florida finally hit their stride just before the playoffs. And someone wearing sunglasses in their basement to talk to Milbury and Shannon wellā¦what can I say!
I had Boston getting knocked out of contention by Buffalo and Ottawa. They had a great season. But I didnāt expect a deep run. Whereas most crowned them Stanley Cup champions in February.
No Way did I pick Boston! I was totally right in my Call. I said if Florida gets in they are going to give Boston a rough ride and one team that will beat them. And I was 100% right!! š¤§š¤§š¤§š¤§š¤§
Good point made by MM. Bruins clinch first overall March 30. Bergeron gets hurt in Montreal April 13. You know the playoffs are an endurance test. You know that injuries are going to be a factor. Why would any of the Bruin's top players be playing (or playing much) after March 30? Two weeks to rest those guys. Two weeks to rotate goalies and get the 3rd stringer a game or two (I stand to be corrected if they did that) . Two weeks to get 3rd and 4th liners and potential call-ups more minutes. Injuries are part of the game. Guys get hurt in practice, but in a nothing game? Why tempt fate?
Wth, Mike… everyone's had 3 years to learn, if not already, how to frame a video camera. Be prepared. Wear a collar. Drink your coffee to look alert. And sit upright and not stoop. The guy's got 20+ years sitting in wardrobe green rooms and watching tv producers line camera shots…
The team that has the best shot at going deep into the playoffs is the good team that doesn't care about finishing first in the league. You can either win the season or win the playoffs. Too often the teams that have played hard for an entire season are banged up and exhausted come playoff time. It's all about peaking at the right time.
It was a total team collapse. They didnt play their game in one game the entire Panthers series. The defense couldnt move the puck or get the puck out . The goalies were horrendous and lazy and carless. This is what the Bruins do they choke!
Do you think that because the Panthers squeaked in that maybe we underestimated them? We gave them a chance and confidence where they believed they could beat us.
Your Stanley Cup window is quickly closing , Bergeron..old , Marchand..old, both are slowing down ,and next year dont expect to repeat like last season . Jack Edwards is in therapy !
You all have to give the Panthers some credit. Boston took two games on the road, was up 3-1 and then lost the next 3 of which two were home games for Boston. As of today the Panthers went up 2-0 on the Leafs with both games in Toronto. You always want to play your best at the end of the season.
Does anyone else see the pattern. Bruins were nervous, true. Their defence was not matching Panthers physical play. Ulmark stopped attacking shooters at top of the crease. Finally, you insert Bergeron and Kreijci ( both older and hurting, nowhere near 100%) into the line up against a young aggressiveforecheck and all of a sudden they canāt get out of their own end. Should have kept the injured centre out of games 5 and 6 , gibe them their swan song for game 7 if you want.

When the trade decimated, basement dwelling, Blackhawks beat them,
I kinda got the idea that Boston might be a little squishy.
Greatest playoff choke in NHL history, that's what went wrong. š¤£š
Montgomery must be Fired!
Bruins need a coach. Montgomery isnāt the man.
Ullmark – Lindholm. Swedish Meatballs.
Too many Euros
No heart.
Mike Milbury,knows the game,outspoken,but put his cards on the table,we need more like him!Woke ness hurts the game and our country,end of story!
Mike Milbury is still relevant. No thanks

Love MM, but Zacha isn't soft. He's a skilled, gritty player.
Bruin haters love it. And most of their teams didn't make the playoffs.
all hockey pucks need to stop saying the word obviously to the point of nausea and Milbury where have you been hiding the donuts?
Millbury is the most obnoxious announcer ever. Glad he got fired.
The question is really what DIDN'T go wrong with the Boston Bruins.

No goaltending when it mattered.

A complete collapse?
They lost in seventh-game overtime. One shot the other way and all is good.

LEAFS FANS HAVE BEEN ASKING THIS QUESTION SINCE 1968 !
Hey Milbury, are there any women in your home to distract ya?!?! Lmao.
Someone has to tell Bob to stop the gaping mouthā¦ā¦.

Is it just me? McCowan looks terible!

They started to believe their press clippings and nowhere near to being the best team in the history of the league
Rigged, scripted. ThecBoston Globe posted 6hrs before end of game Bs lose gm 7
EXPLAIN THAT!!!!Ā”!!!!!
