Bruins were out playing this team for the majority of the game, and then missed multiple wide open nets in a 30 second period.

Two fluke point shots it is what it is. Still a decent road game for the Bruins. If McAvoy had hit that wide open net we’d all be saying what a good road game it is. This Carolina team is so beatable.
They haven’t been bad. They’ve just been predictable. I’d love to see a heat map of bodies in front of each goalie. I’d imagine Ullmarks end would be smoking and Raantas crease a nice cool blue

A decent two periods. 48 is dragging down 25 tonight and our first PP unit is a momentum killer. Too many one on three entries by 88 and the ghost of 63.

4th line attacking the crease. 3rd line constantly pinned in their own end.

Need more from the 3rd line and gotta hope 63 and 37 find something. 74 is best player on that line.

Maybe its the zero 5v5 goals in the past 11 periods vs this team?

Ranta sucks, no chance they win this series with him
Plenty of valid concerns, but lets panic if the team is down 3-0 in the series, not 2-0 in one game

I like Gryz but he needs to provide elite offense for his defensive deficiencies and he just doesn’t do it.

I swear some fans want the Bruins to lose so they can jump on immediately and start the bashing. Jesus Christ, are some of you really fans? I get the frustration and we know the Bruins deficiencies but my god some of you love to pile on. SMH!!!!!

Losing to Canes for exact same reasons the lost to Islanders. Coach and strategy needs to change. Maybe they can't or maybe its too late.

I wouldn't be as worried if I hadn't seen this song and dance from the team for a good # of games this season.

The bruins already struggled to score relative to other top playoff teams all season. In the playoffs scoring only gets harder to do.

They weren't magically going to become a team that scores at will in the POs. We have seen this team pile up shots and still struggle to get one on the board at times.

Forwards look tentative. Slow on the forecheck. 2nd line looks like a 3rd line and the 3rd line looks like the 4th.
