I don't like us being out worked ...out skilled sure, I can handle that ....out hustled and I get angry...and I'm angry
One other thing I noticed is that they attack the puck carrier every time. Two or three times today there were situations where most teams/players would have curled off and changed, but the Panther didn’t and instead attacked and slowed down the rush.Florida hockey is dump and chase without regard. In a frustrating yet good way, for them. Bruins should be mirroring this with the new size roster but fail miserably outside of the Kastelic line.
Yeah but that’s because, as Judd Sirott said today, playoffs build rivalries. Which is why we hate the habs and the leafs hate us.Oh I get the frustration. But Florida gets talked about and raised a lot here even when we're not playing them. That's always a sign to me that a particular team has got into the psyche of a fanbase in an unhealthy way. Obviously the Bruins need to find a way to counter them better, because they're not going away. But there's a bigger picture out there too that I think gets lost sometimes whenever the Panthers come up.
"Hey you f***ers, stop making plays! We got a 3-0 lead keeping it simple and now you want to make plays?!?"One thing I notice with Florida is that the puck is hardly on anyone stick for longer than 2-3 seconds.
I feel the bruins hang on far too long and by the time they make a play, it’s fully covered or they’re smothered. Poitras got caught a few times hanging on too long. Pastrnak and Marchand too.
The 4th line plays straight line hard working hockey.
No? Look like we had a finisher last game the same guy that hit crossbar today or this game would've been at least tied. It's game 4 2-2 sky isn't fallingThey lost two games to a team far superior than them and did enough to win just don’t have the finishers
Yeah I agree. Florida is just in a different league right now. No Tkachuk and no Barkov, no problemNo? Look like we had a finisher last game the same guy that hit crossbar today or this game would've been at least tied. It's game 4 2-2 sky isn't falling
2-2 one crossbar away from at least a point today ease up this is a deep solid team they will be fine
Brad and Pavel (also Pasta) should not be the team enforcers.I love how it’s Marchand and Zacha showing spine. I mean, it’s sad, but I’m glad they’re willing.
Needed Zadorov, Frederic etc to do something in these games. Frederic has been remarkably frustrating against the Panthers over his career.
he was bad and spent a lot of time on his backsideHe is right.
The first line is a nonfactor five on five and was out played yet again.
The second line has no juice with geeky. There’s just not enough talent on that line to beat other teams second lines.
I also thought that was Patra‘s worst game. He looked like he was being pushed off the pock easily and the turnover on the power play was especially bad.
I am not sad that Greer is no longer a Bruin.
Time to stop asking and to start throwing. It's Florida, what do you expect.
This is just stupid.It could be Marchand just hasn't gotten over his summer vacation yet?
Just sayin..

I didn’t think Florida was looking to start shit - they looked like they were trying to emulate the Kings with constant movement and pressureBrad and Pavel (also Pasta) should not be the team enforcers.
I thought we got some new guys to handle some of this?
Pound their D...Maurice knows how to tame bruins. Hes kryptonite to us.
Our defensive zone doesn't look great. The slightest bit of pressure and they're throwing it in awkward spots for others to pick it up or they just flat out turn it over for no reason. You would have thought we had the 1 goal lead at the end with how Lindholm was killing time in our end in the final minute.
Powerplay needs a new voice and plan. Skating to the blue line and panicking isn't very effective.
Not to put too fine of a point on it but our obsession with whether the black and gold teams gets more pucks behind another team than they do behind us isn’t exactly healthy in the first place. But, you know, it’s ours.
I absolutely agree on the overpassing. Early in the game they were making hope passes, just throwing it, hoping that someone on the team would get to it, although there was no one near it. Especially on the power play, they tried to pass diagonally through too many legs. Ugh. Winnable game. He was not alone, but Pasta’s second penalty was moronic.McAvoy & Hampus L. shouldn't sniff PP minutes. Coaches somehow don't have them ready to initiate. Bruins a day late in and a dollar short in taking charge. PP is great.......................at over passing and/or one timers that miss. No PP structure screams poor coaching. Monty will be good enough to make the playoffs but that's where it ends.
If this doesn't straighten out by Thanksgiving, and they aren't within striking distance of the playoffs Sweeney needs to show Monty the door.
No idea if Gallant would be better but I doubt he worse. Thing is, I read that he doesn't last more than 2 seasons with any team.
It's too bad Mike Sullivan isn't available. He's just the right mix of a guy who seems to give players either a pat on the back or a kick in the pants.
Yeah, behind the f***ing bench!
