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.

He is right... what can he say!

The Kelly experiment in a scoring C role as to end. Give that spot to Spooner or Koko. Seriously...

Spooner isn't Bergeron 2.0. Ridiculous I know. Julien is a good coach, but it baffles me, he'd rather a career 20 point guy center his first line than a kid who has offensive talent and creativity. And it's only for a few games. not permanent

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.

Who cares on Subban and all Habs players... and you are right...Bruins are not feared!

One thing about NHLers is they generally just give the "right" answer. I hope to God that behind closed doors it's a lot different than Kelly's pregame interview "just need to move our feet" or Bergeron's post game comments. These quotes just bleed complacency.

I can't stand this!

If Spooner want's -- then the role is his!!!!!!

But man what did Spooner do to believe it would be better to the Bruins to have him!

Man Spooner needs to get THERE!!

If not... He stays down where he is!!

Can anyone imagine bergy or Kelly or eriksson yelling, punching the wall, flipping the table in the dressing room? They're to nice. Need a guy like Thornton or chara. Mcquaid might. But who else? Rask? Lucic? What a mess

You forgot to list the Yeti, who is nicer and gentler than all three combined. He's like J.Thornon: A gentle giant.

And I can see Kelly and Bergy punching a wall and flipping. Not Loui.

It's not just that they got beat 11-2....The entire group of forwards didn't even come close to scoring tonight except for a chance by Griffith and then Paille's chances that he flubbed. That's not even to talk about how they let Emelin run around all night without a response. That was disgusting.

When they traded ference,Horton,boychuck,iginla...they traded away like half the guys who love a good fight or a good scrum. That team literally won alot of games via just being nasty and mean and not ever giving anyone a free pass on anything.

If they're not gonna be the big bad bruins, they need to be something else, they can't just be a team with no identity, which is what they've turned into.

Sorry to say this current team isn't gonna be outskilling anyone, so they need to make a move one way or another, either go for skill or that defensive/mean team we used to be.

They seriously were lacking Thornton's leadership/presence on this road trip.

Meh. I don't think these issues are about leadership. Its about performance and ability. I'm watching guys like Campbell, Paille, Gagne, Fraser, and Kelly go out there and play as hard as they can possibly play. It's still not good enough. Thornton would fall into that same group.

Btw, I have seen many people ask for the Anthem Singer's name:

Her name is Briannah Donolo



I think she is a local girl

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.

I watched too many games last year and started watching this season but quickly was not enjoying watching them play. When you actually sit down and prepare to not enjoy three hours of 'entertainment' you have something wrong going on. It's that simple.

It isn't about winning either because I went to the bar to watch the Ottawa game and was constantly losing interest.

As a product for entertainment value, the Boston Bruins haven't been this low in value in a long time.

Realistically, you are hoping for a tip in that you can spot on a replay from a shot from the point, a goal from a screened shot from the point, or a rebound from a shot from the point.

Carl Soderberg has his moments of creative flair that is entertaining but the rest of them seem to have this feeling of...resignation.

Perhaps they have just bought into the idea that the only hockey that matters is in April. It has looked that way since the Cup, win or lose.

Habs fans must be eating this up. I'd be. Keep feeding them.

We've come a long way since Chara invented the Pacioretty memorial stanchion.

Too much went out the door, not enough coming back in via all the kids, add injuries, and we are what we are.

Now we're running over Bergeron, too?

Yeah, whatever the **** ever. Enjoy.
