Bruins Coach Says Team NOT READY for Stanley Cup Playoffs!

Bruins Coach Says Team NOT READY for Stanley Cup Playoffs!

Dissatisfied with the way the Bruins have been playing of late they lose to the Flyers 3 to2 over the weekend prior to that they lost 5 to2 two games in a row now they have lost in regulation I think the first time in the new year

That has happened right so uh or since early in the new year right around that time uh Jim Murray go well he’s the opposite of Bruce Cassidy right Jim mcgomery is one of the reasons I hired him because he they needed to have a softer nicer approach for guys like Jake

Dbras in the room and they’ve even found a way to piss him off and he’s calling him out and he said he hated this game against the Flyers on Saturday and this practice today so he had him skating gassers because they pissed him off you’ve pissed off Jimmy giggles and

Rightfully so if you want you were a way M these last two games were atrocious now here’s the thing not to contradict myself but I kind of want them to lose I don’t want them to win the President’s Cup because I don’t want to have them uh getting that Albatross for the second

Consecutive year and I do believe that thing is a curse you don’t want the stupid President’s Cup also I want them to engineer this so that they end up getting the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round because the Maple Leafs are even bigger losers than the Bruins

They’re four and 4-0 against them this year I don’t care how talented those forwards and centers are I I like the Bruins against Toronto can we win one round that’s what I want but it’s the way that they’ve lost that’s what’s pissed me off the game against the

Rangers second and third period they were completely outclassed hampus lolm was atrocious absolutely atrocious the second goal you saw it Paul right oh yeah it was the goal at the end end of the second period of put him behind uh was a complete giveaway by Lind Holm but

I actually thought I mean they played really well I thought in the first period you’re right they got outplayed in the second and third uh ma you weren’t here two empty Nets uh in that game so the 52 was yeah it was a 3-2 game it’s skewed a little bit but you

Know and I understand Montgomery’s uh you know frustration because they’re two similar kind of games they’re playoff atmospheres playoff intensity the Philadelphia game was and I watched a good chunk of that third period it was wild yeah um you know the stand there was a lot of intensity they’re playing

To get in uh the Flyers so a lot of desperation and they didn’t respond and it’s the same kind of stuff at the end of games where they’re coughing up the puck it was Lind Hol against the Rangers uh a terrible after a beautiful goal by Heinen you know had tied the game

Immediately after uh I thought Omar gave up that real softy to put him behind in the third period Heinen just gives a terrible pass back to the point which Springs a three on two gets them in trouble and I thought the the last goal you you you didn’t see it this way I

Thought the shot went off of Carlos stick and kind of roofed over all Mark’s shoulder but it doesn’t really matter the bottom line is it’s the same kind of mistakes that they’re making at the ends of these games and if you’re at a playoff series and I don’t care if it’s

Toronto or anybody else Jim I don’t know how you’re feeling good with a onego lead in the third period yeah so it’s not just the inability to close too the other thing because again this game on Saturday it’s a you know you talk about like a lack of response in another way

Too so there’s a kneeon KNE hit oh yeah on Brad marshan the first period the first period where he goes down and he loses his mind there’s no call by the refs you want to about that fine I’m not going to argue on that because there’s call ter terrible no call so he

Goes back to the bench he’s slamming his stick he’s yelling at the refs they penalize him for this for un sportsmanlike which is ridiculous but there was nothing from his teammates you see a even if you didn’t watch this game go look at the clip on Twitter find it online you look

At this show like is anyone going to I don’t know kind of Muddy up someone’s face with your glove get into a scrum something nothing no response from his teammates to your captain nothing that speaks volumes to me there’s a softness going around with this team like in

Especially in these last couple of losses again I I I want them to engineer it so that they don’t win the the President’s Cup I want Toronto in the first round it’s the way that they’ve lost these last couple of games I’m like because the go ending hasn’t been great

Either all Mark I thought was downright rases on that third period on Saturday well right now what they’re uh I I think they are tied with Florida in points but the um the Panthers have played one fewer game yes right yeah they got game so uh Mur you and they got Florida

Tomorrow night the Rangers are right there too so yeah I I would rather have the one i’ I want to win the division but I’m with you on the I don’t I you can keep the oh I hate the president president’s trophy or whatever it’s called you can keep that but I don’t

Want to drop to to the two three at at some point Toronto’s going to beat them and I don’t want to you know I don’t want to deal well Paul you’re not the only one worried about the playoffs because Jim Montgomery had a pretty pointed remark Mark as far as that was

Concerned Jimmy Stewart It’s Montgomery number four please absolutely I don’t think our team’s ready yet for the playoffs we got to continue to get tested and we’re going to get tested okay Mar you agree yeah that’s a good thing to hear from your coach too I don’t think we’re ready for the playoffs

I mean good for him for saying it give him a kick in the ass I agree now look maybe they’re waiting you know who knows last year the Bruins just breeed through the regular season the playoffs came and they weren’t ready to go they got tamped

And in the playoffs the same way the lightning did that year when they get swept out by Columbus I think it was wasn’t it the Columbus Columbus beat Tampa Bay that year they had the historic regular season you could smell that one coming from a mile away that

One was just they were headed for that thing from the middle of the season they were it was too easy so this one’s been a little harder and yet I don’t have confidence in that this is my theme today Murray I don’t have confidence in anybody I don’t have confidence in the

Red Sox I certainly don’t have the confidence in the Patriots to get it right I have less than zero confidence Mayo whom I like seems like a nice guy but in terms of running my football operation no thank you and the Bruins in the playoffs oh yeah right no that’s my

2011’s the fluke but I think we’ll learn a lot because this upcoming stretch that they have I mean it’s all teams that are in or vying for the playoffs you got Florida tomorrow night they’re all on the road Florida at Tampa Washington who’s been kind of hot trying to get

That last Wild Card Spot Nashville who’s in as of right now so if he’s going to call them out and they’ played soft with this stretch coming up up I think you’ll you’ll learn a lot and maybe even be more terrified not ready for the playoffs your coach says you’re not

Ready for the playoffs you got 10 games to go now that’s plenty of time 10 games is plenty of time you can get a little wind uh you know little bounce in your legs and be ready to go but Murray I’m with you I’d rather have Toronto I would

Rather have Toronto the first round yeah I just would like to finish as high as you could I mean I’d rather play a team that’s not as good as Toronto Toronto is talented but I just want to end up happening what what happened last year where you know you you end up getting

That second wild card team who had to basically play a months’s worth of playoff games gets in they got nothing to lose right now so again if you can maybe get Washington like I don’t want the capitals right now if they ended up squeezing I think as of right now it’s

Detroit but no no no no no give me Toronto they’re bigger losers than the Bruins I mean that’s how I feel seriously
