work it out so u can leave it behind!!
Solid legs means solid results
Paul cant do this
be sure ant
Been a Bruins fans a long long time we don’t have the fire power to match the opponent. Effort is there the goals just aren’t. Back to back pp goals were killers.
gotta try going with ullmark with his numbers against florida. they clearly need to win games 3-2 or 2-1 with a goalie standing on his head
Swayman???????
Can't win with 4 shots a period. Ugh! Let's go boys!
About time he took responsibility for his game planning Maurice has out coached Jim…let's goo panthers in 5
I've seen good players,then I've seen better actors so what are we.seeing
This is an example of a soft coaching staff that equals a soft team.
There's no goalie, player, evenly refereed game, ice surface, etc., that's going to help this Bruins team.
Yes, aside from the epic #88 David Pastrnak Game 7 OT goal, and #1 Jeremy Swayman's performance: they're done, for the 2023/24 season.
There's always next year.
When a head coach says “I don’t know” in response to why they aren’t playing well, explains it all. That’s why they had 8 shots in two periods. Because the coach doesn’t know
Bruins fan here. I told my son 2 months ago the Bruins were imposters and would get the crap kicked into them in the playoffs. They were only high in the standings because they had a lot of OT losses (2nd most in the league) which got them points. But they were still LOSSES. Bruins season will be over Tuesday night. Bruins only beat Leafs because of a crazy bounce from the corner. All those poor saps that paid big money for tix at TD Garden to see the Bruins take 17 lousy shots ( a whole EIGHT thru 2 periods ) in a Stanley Cup playoff game. Northeastern Women's team could put up a better fight here.
How bout we need a better goalie, you can’t commit to one side as a goalie, they’re picking him apart.
It’s the playoffs, put some ffing effort 👍🏻
You need better management of the puck, more effort in skating, glasses…for sway, and more FIRE from the coach! Where’s the passion? Where’s the grit? You have to be better as a whole, no excuses.
Bench McCavoy!
Some of these responses …ooof. Time to go 😂
Jim, please sit down with Charlie Coyle and remind him he is the friggin 1st line center for the Bs! He has got to score!! Zacha too. Come on!! Liked the McAvoy/Lohrei pairing. Give Brazeau and Beecher ice time!!!
perhaps we can win a friggin faceoff
How about the game plan the B's were using in the third period when they came damn close to making it a one goal game. Try that at the START of the game, not the last 15 minutes.
Stay outta the box!
Pasta wants to go to the IIHF championship.
the move to get rid of Cassidy will be looked back as a huge blunder for a guy who had a drinking problem… pathetic.
Sway let up 5 and he thought he was one of their best players. The team is cooked.
This team finally got burned by their top 2 centers showing who they TRULY are. Coyle has been a joke in the playoffs since 2019(minus 20). Zacha has never scored. The team also badly misread McAvoy thinking he was a big-time defenseman. He has cost them for years.
Boston is simply outclassed on every aspect of the game. Swayman is shook. Start Ullmark and maybe the team will step up
Monty's system is not built for the playoffs, but great for the regular season. Players are often out of place to make the right play and appear too inconsistent when a team has time to prepare for them, because they don't make meaningful adjustments to what is now being done to them. Grant it, Florida is more talented, but from the outside, when Toronto (arguably a soft run & gun built team without a strong defense) started following Florida's style or blueprint in games 5-7 – they all of a sudden looked like defensive world beaters against them. I do give Monty monster props for taking accountability here and do believe he can figure this thing out, although he will probably need more talent at key positions to go all the way.
Yes and that was great but at look at the following next to games 2, We have no consistency and our shots on goal at times our unacceptable if we are even gonna come close against this team.
They have to drive to the net. That’s how you beat them.
THE worst Bruins game of the year and at the wrong time. Looked like a beer league team!
No grit. Time for the putting green .. that's the plan.
About getting better. A 50 per cent improvement. Means 6 shots. Instead of 4.
we were not meant to get this far. I love florida fans all hyped up that they re winning against the weakest roster in the playoffs. It's over look at how they are playing. This team is capable of the play they showed in gm 1 for 5-6-7 games no worries when they are healthy.
You cannot win if your team doesn't win the Board Battles against a good forechecking team. Clearing the puck is a state of mind knowing your going to get hit and you will out work the other team to clear the puck. Mentally tough teams beat forechecking teams like Florida. Vice Versa against Opponent on Offense you dump, forecheck and out work and skate in O-Zone.
YOU BEAT A TEAM LIKE FLORIDA BY WORKING, AND WORKING HARD! Nothing is EASY in the Stanley Cup.
They haven't played a full 3 periods of hockey since game 6 vs Toronto. Either these games are RIGGED or they have lost faith in this coach, his leadership and his game plan. Changes need to be made in Boston. Bruin fans will not tolerate this BS any longer.
1 goal between your top 2 centers in 10 playoff games.
Was the puck really "hopping over" the bruins stick or was the announcer just being nice cuz of bruins were missing the puck with stick?
“ I don’t know” = Florida is the better team but I can’t say that out loud.
Coach has no answers. Saying that we have to be better is not enough, execution and planning is. Actions over words. End of the day, this Boston team is not good enough and are deflated. That goes back to coaching.
Not that complicated.
Hustle and tenacity.
Basically as per usual they are being out hustled to and on the puck.
Whatever the so called game plan is, losing the small hustle and tenacity battles and I'll add faceoffs you have no chance against the Panthers.
The bruins getting here have far exceeded my expectations for this season. They don't have a true core anymore. They gave up everything to go all in on nothing last season. Pasta is the only real goal scorer and dissappears in the playoffs every year. Not exactly tough to defend against. Marchand is getting older, slower and more injury prone. McAvoy is a constant let down. This is a decent regular season team and that's exactly what they were built to be. Never get your hopes up for the bruins in the playoffs.
Bruce Cassidy held his men accountable. The Bruins couldn't handle it… grown ass men being paid buku bucks couldn't handle a real head coach. He left and immediately won a cup with a team that had some brass between their legs. Meanwhile, we get Monty doling out the 12 step program in between periods.
Compare press conferences of JIm and Paul and you know exactly the team that will advance.
Don Sweeney out !
Keep Swayman and pasta shop the rest of the garbage and rebuild the team.Mcavoy is overrated.
Jim your only win is game 1!! you guys are playing just like the leafs series! slow and sloppy!!
Bruins have no mental toughness you have to compete for 60 minutes and then some
I would honestly consider scratching or demoting Zacha lower in the lineup. He’s making blind passes that are turning over and ending in the back of sway’s net, taking bad penalties, while contributing nothing offensively. Lauko and others are hungrier wingers who will do more with those minutes, until zacha wakes up
