Yea I thought that too.

But what do you do with 6-7 forwards that can't put the puck in the net?

Meaning....Kelly, Lucic, Eriksson, Gagne, Campbell, Paille, (and then 2 rookies Fraser/Griffith)

Whether we like it or not, the Bruins have been passed up.

You get Jeff Carter, Rick Nash and Tarasenko on this team as a line and Julien will have 3 guys at the blue line in the offensive zone.

Bruins have absolutely no idea of offensive positioning.

Why should i? Who else is gonna get credit for getting the Stars to the playoffs? It sure as hell won't be their defense. Seguin and Benn are the only two guys worth a damn on that team at the moment. Hell, even Spezza has been junk.

We've come to expect losing to the Habs. What's scary is the fact they out hit us tonight and they beat the crap out of us in two fights. Geting out muscled by the Habs, when we are losing 5-1.... That's just plain pathetic.

Glad Chia thought it was time to change up our identity and load up on skill and speed.

" We got the results we wanted to after one period, but to make it a long story short. We werent able to sustain it." -Clode


Okay

You don't agree with Clode? Bruins were the best team in the first, all went downhill in the 2nd after that early turnover by Yeti that led to a PS goal by Wuss. The Habs got 3 straight PP after that to take momentum and their late period two quick goals on two Seidenberg mistakes sealed the game.

Bruins got like 1 scoring chance after the 1st period and didn't create much yesterday neither. The Kelly experiment has to end. Put him back on the 3rd line and if you don't want to cal Spooner/Koko, than shuffle the deck and go top-2 lines heavy with:

Lucic-Yeti-Loui
March-Bergy-Smith

Okay

No **** Sherlock? Sustain isn't the word, they downright stopped playing. I wish I could earn the money they do just for playing one period and skating around for the other 2? show some god damn emotion ffs

I am a huge fan. I was at ground zero when game seven ended and my classroom walls are covered in my Bruins memorbilia. Every trip out here I attend and even fly out to Boston once a year for games.

That doesn't mean that I am forced to tune into a team that isn't exciting to watch, doesn't play a brand of hockey I enjoy anymore, seem disinterested in the game and don't enterain. The team has no identity or passion anymore so I'll tune back in when I won't be bored, disappointed or getting overly critical of players who aren't playing with that passion anymore.
Nobody is forced to watch a Bruins game but I know I am always hopeful we can turn things around and I want to be watching when they do.The way I look at it is if I want to take glory in the good times then I have to endure the painful ones.Start watching.

It's all well and good to play like ****, but to show absolutely no fight or team identity, is ridiculous. I know 2 of their best 4 players are out but do something. Lucic hasn't been the same in 3 years going on 4. Marchand only does stupid ****. They had to play the backup because the Vezina winning goalie can't beat their biggest rival.

That's what pisses me off. Lose the game, fine. Lose by 4, it's November. But show a little life while you're doing it.

Don't overreact. Lucic can put the puck in the net. Loui too. The others just can't.

But the Bruins identity is defense. Without Chara and Krejci to have the puck in the OZ, it looks worse than it is.

They had a bad loss against the Leafs who looked good yesterday and tonight, played a team 100% healthy and fresh at home and they got the bounces.

Some say the Habs are a top team in the East. If that's true, than good news. They are not that good. I would rather play them than the Leafs for sure...

your right about the defensive indentity,but i think seids is clearly not the same so far since returning,and krug has been less then impressive in my eyes,top it off with losing boychuk...ps....tell loui he can start putting that puck in anytime now

If you got the time(each video is 10 min.) watch these highlights of a Bruins vs. Stars game from Nov. 2008.

This is what the Bruins were. A team that fought for themselves and each other. Watch how many times teammates come over to support and fight for one another. These Bruins didn't take no @#^&%$ from anybody.

To see what the Bruins have now devolved into is disgusting.

How will the team get through this? Bergy: "It's about character, resiliency and making sure we battle through it" ^CS

I love Bergy, I really do, but they aren't sick, and the team doesn't have cancer, you don't battle through it, you're playing like a busted ass, compete. So what do you need to battle through exactly? You need to start playing hockey, thats it.

There it was, glorious chance to unload on Subban and Lucic wastes it. Don't care about his wrist, just tune that clown. Did he pass up Komi way back when...? Is this what chia was talking about when he mentioned a new direction? Did the loss to the habs in the p/o do what we did to the nucks? I can't believe chia is buying into this less toughness more skill mind set that some on this board pine for. Hope these two games have been rock bottom we bounce from. Get chara, miller, Stewart, robins, knight in here and play with some attitude. Can't believe Neely is ok with this. Btw seidenberg was gross tonight, worst player by far tonight.

Emelin Weise Subban heading out for beers now on St.Catherine St. meeting up with Burrows Laperierre & Ott. Troll city. Bruins are a no longer feared.

Fat contracts, NTC to mediocre players, refusal to rattle the vets cage & switch up lines or *gasp* bench a struggling vet.

My Bruins tee shirts officially getting packed into bins with my summer clothing. This was a gutless showing tonight.
