Bruins went 4-0 in the regular season against the Panthers last season, and it didn’t mean shit. I’d rather this team struggle out of the gate and then be fighting for their playoff lives to make it to the 3rd/4th spot in the Atlantic.
Too many times we’ve seen this team get off to hot starts and then coast the rest of the season. There’s also no benefit of being the heaviest and tallest team in the league if the guys can’t skate or pass quickly. So, I expect the conditioning to improve after the 1st couple weeks of the season
Did Terry OReilly have any sons ? Cause damn trade anything to get one. Even if he doesn't skate. I thought you played with grit between whisles not after them. Seems like the video guys are working overtime.
Bad game. Now Swayman needs to show us $8.25 million reasons to love him this year.
75% of games last year bruins relied on there goalies, in the playoffs i would say it was 95% of the games, not saying Korpi played well as he didn't but when a game starts 15-1 in shots not sure can blame him, making it 2-1 then giving Up a shorthanded goal after is much worse, ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I’m with Brian. Bad look to laugh on the bench when you are getting handed your rear ends.
Agree w Bridgette and Brian on kuntar he never takes shift off and makes a pesky impact. Scott wiffed on ther point
"We lost because the panthers didnt want to fight just be pests" is quite the take start the show with. Florida has fought boston the last 2 playoff series, INCLUDING Tkachuk.
Bruins need to watch Mighty Ducks 2 and figure out how to handle Team Iceland (Panthers) haha
The Bruins were awful in pre-season but they had excuses. They were awful last night and there's no excuse for not trying.
HEY ! No Smiling 😂
it's time to fire Jim Montgomery so he can go somewhere and win the Stanley Cup. The Bruins still can't handle all the forechecking and mainly just dump the pucks out to the neutral zone or icing. Until they can find a way to release the pressure and counter attack and move the puck with purpose, we may be just good enough another first rounder only
