this team has no leadership and it shows.

y'all underestimated the impact of Thornton & Boychuk.

who is y'all? seriously. who the hell are you talking to? Because I don't know if you noticed but the vast majority of people on this board HATE the Boychuk trade and recognize that Thornton's personality is sorely missed. You're not coming in here and dropping knowledge.

Playing awful
Not currently playing
Playing very well
May never play again

Agreed on Kelly and Campbell, but quite the names to use for examples...

Point is replace them with guys with heart. Ference Thomas Horton Boychuk hated to lose & hated the Habs & Leafs. The Kelly's Campbell's Gagne's look far too comfy getting destroyed in Montreal here tonight. Find some players with heart.give me Gallagher over any forward not named Bergeron Lucic Krejci Yeti right now

Rask would have given up 10 tonight. He gave up 4 against a AHL caliber team last night Habs actually have some skill unlike TO

Nice to see Chiarelli's vision of the small, nice Bruins is going so well. Speed and skill, who needs grit and toughness

Gotta wonder if 'relli and Neely watched the whole game and saw the same thing as this board. Losing once like that is an anomaly; losing twice like that in as many nights is a pattern. Injuries or not, this was disheartening. I wonder what the solution upstairs is? Stay the course? Or shuffle around?

Now that makes more sense.

Got your initial point but was wondering what the hell those players were doing in there minus Boychuk haha.

Show some heart. Jesus what is going on. I would love, love love love, to be a fly on the wall in the Bruins offices right now. Im not one for knee jerks or anything, but they cannot, cannot say this team is lacking because of the absence or Chara/Krejci/Miller. There is a lot more wrong than that. This 'system' isn't working in today's NHL. We have no energy line to speak of, none.

The worst part is, the guys everyone wants to cut and trade have low value because they're playing like a steaming pile of ****. I don't know what they need to do, but they need to do something, because icing this team isn't going to just 'sort itself out' and Claude needs to look at the lines hes coming up with, Soupy centering Looch and Griff is probably the stupidest thing he has ever done. Period.

Team sucks.

They are going to play themselves right out of the playoffs with this team as constituted.

Chia needs to make moves or plan for the lottery. He can't wait until the deadline-there are some tough teams coming up in the schedule and this team is going to lose if they don't do something.

Fraser is a bust.
I love Campbell but probably time to move him.
As much as I would like to see them move Kelly they can't until Krejci comes back (Kelly imo is slightly more versatile than Campbell).
Bart is probably worth a bag of pucks at this point but move him too.

Gagne is cooked.

The team's problems aren't just ChAra and Krejci being out but those two out make the holes and issues we already had more pronounced.

If only every team they played could be buffalo but that is t the case and they won't beat too teams playing like this.

Kessel, Seguin, Wheeler... who am I leaving out? Oh yeah, even Jagr :shakehead

Oh remember that Clode doesn't like talent, he just likes his pluggers.

Sad that offensive players can not play well in Boston.

Honest question, did anyone besides myself else get this awful feeling as soon as Dale Weasel scored his penalty shot goal that the Bruins were pretty much finished from there on out.

All sailed elsewhere. Good thing Chia kept Kelly & Campbell....

Really not missing a bottom pairing dman, a retired goalie, and a guy who will probably never play again due to injury. Yep.

On the other hand, I'm actually missing Boychuk
