BRUINS GDT 11/4 | Game 11: Motown and Bound | Bruins @ Detroit Red Wings | 7pm ET | NESN, 98.5 FM

Linus needs to tighten up his game a little. He let in 5 in this loss, and 4 against the Ducks in that OT loss.

Ride Swayman for a few games, he's earned it, been by far the better goalie.

You have said this several times

point taken

We get it you dont like mcavoy

my bad.
but I'll say.....I'm not as high on him as many seem to be

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Yeah! LOVE that Monty took an abuse of official penalty. Effing loved it. You can't get any more shorthanded and you can't call them out in the media without getting fined so might as well tell them what you really think.

Absolutely.

A well timed game to be all over the officials.

Put the spotlight right on them post-game as well. Bettman can hold another GM meeting threatening any protest.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Team is down 3 of their 6 starting dmen, goaltender has to know he needs to be sharp. He’s been mediocre. Again just one game and this team is still impressive, but I just don’t agree with the fans who can’t call out the goaltender ever. He’s human

He “has to know” he needs to be sharp?

I don’t even know how to respond to that. You think a player playing well is because he “knows” he needs to play well? Some games you’re off the charts. Others you aren’t so good. Others you suck.

Tonight’s game, the team didn’t deserve to win. It was grade A chance after chance.

I’m not an Ullmark or Swayman fanboy. I don’t mind saying when goalies suck. But the narrative was established early when Ullmark gave up a soft goal and it was ridden almost the entire night despite the fact that they were point blank chances. It’s just mass confirmation bias.

Lots of people are going to take their goaltending and “refs were against us” narratives out of this game and it’s too bad because the actual story is that team didn’t play well enough. They’re missing some guys and the effort was not consistent for 60.

Edit: you’ve also seemingly built your argument off of me saying “ullmark was good tonight” and “no one can call out the goaltender ever”. Both of which I did not and would never say.

 

[lopey]

I wouldn’t say rough stuff is forte lolo

The Dallas game will make this one look fun. The sunshine and lollipop society ain't gonna like it.

your a gem. Dont ever chsnge

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

I suppose if you watch enough games you’re gonna have a night like this one. I came home from a night out and the Bruins were winning. In the short amount of time I was changing out of my suit, they gave up three goals.

Le sigh…

We’re on to Dallas.

Yep Dallas 7-1-1 on the season and 3-1 at home.

It's sad how much you want to see this team lose. I'm not even sure why you're a Bruins fan because you don't actually seem like you like them.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

There was enough 5 on 5 play that the bruins should’ve gotten back to business.

Refs didn’t help but that’s going to happen again and will probably happen in the playoffs two.

They were way too loose defensively in the second and in the third compared to what we’ve seen so far this season.

You have to think if we had a healthy lineup maybe the mistakes made wouldn’t have been as egregious and they win that one in regulation.

Not putting too much stock into the loss. I don’t like some of the negative trends that are continuing though in regards to Lindholm and 5 on 5 play from our top guys.

Also barring that late PP goal I thought PP unit 1 killed momentum every chance they had. The pasta goal makes the percentage look better but that unit could have put the game away earlier

 

[bruins19]

Jack doesn't know what our record is. He thinks we are 7-1-1.

He is really struggling. Not looking like he is getting better.

 

[BamBamCam]

Would be nice to see TFred show up when a game turns like this. Instead of getting benched for the #rd.

 

[Save By Thomas]

Yeah! LOVE that Monty took an abuse of official penalty. Effing loved it. You can't get any more shorthanded and you can't call them out in the media without getting fined so might as well tell them what you really think.

They need to 'unofficially' hire some dude to attend post-game press conferences to sit there with Moops and just throw verbal haymakers at the officials. Moops can claim ignorance and we can all reap the comedic benefits.

Laughable

 

[Thirty Seven]

Give the Refs 2nd or 3rd star they really wanted to be a part of it today.

 

[caz16]

OR...he is sad because Mac isn't on his team

Bingo

 

[GloveSave1]

Sounds like a good thing I missed this one…heh…the refs would have triggered me hard.

We're going to need you to put that suit back on vs the Stars...the Bruins center of the universe may depend on it.

I think the guy in your avatar has a better eye for the game than you.

 

[JRull86]

Not sure what people expect when you have 3 NHL defenseman on the roster currently, I clueing two of your top PKing D.

PP was horrible yet again despite late goal.

Officiating a joke, but when is it not?

 

[Ned Bouhalassa]

The guys were slower overall, didn’t bring their A game, didn’t deserve to win. Our goalie made terrific stops, it’s not on him. The rough stuff should have happened way earlier, to set the tone and slow them down. Oh well, we still rock.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

I was as pissed off as anyone here about how Monty flubbed the first round last season.

I say this here and now. Dude is MY f***ing coach. Don't care. He's the guy. And I trade him for NO ONE.

 

[rfournier103]

Yep Dallas 7-1-1 on the season and 3-1 at home.

So what?

The Bruins are 9-1-1 on the season and 4-1 on the road.

 

[Forester65]

Ride Swayman for a few games, he's earned it, been by far the better goalie.

He wants his own Vezina.

 

[sarge88]

The Dallas game will make this one look fun. The sunshine and lollipop society ain't gonna like it.

A one goal loss on the road while missing 5 regulars, in a game that was officiated at a D- (generous D-) level, isn’t exactly something that’s going to make people think the wheels are falling off.

 

[rfournier103]

We're going to need you to put that suit back on vs the Stars...the Bruins center of the universe may depend on it.

I do look good in it if I do say so myself.

Same shirt and tie, or can I change that up?

 

[Oates2Neely]

Ullmark is part of that team that didn’t play well enough. He was bad. As was the D. He deserves to take some blame.
