Post-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 7 - IT'S OVER - THIS IS GOING TO HURT FOR A LONG, LONG, LONG TIME

[NeelyOrr]

I would like to apologize to Bruce Cassidy for calling him an asshole. It is very clear he was dealing with a bunch of soft babies.

I didn't want Butch fired, but I was outnumbered.

 

[finchster]

They have no prospects and no draft picks and nobody to center their top two lines and no cap space.

I have one name for you, John Beecher

 

[Mad Dr Pepper]

I am in this historic thread to wish everyone the best of luck and it's time to take a step back from cheering for this team for a couple years. Not worth watching and having the team choke and lose the way they did.

Sorry core, you sold your fanbase out.

Honestly...

I feel the same.

Choke after choke.

Year after year.

So much for this supposed great culture they have.

Don't know if I'll watch next year.

Probably not.

I'm so sad.

 

[JOKER 192]

They have no choice but to tear it down. Salary cap and all.

No better time

Plenty of players that will get you multiple 1st rounders, now is the time.

I'd love to put this on Sweenelly but it's not on them. For once they got the post season right.

Coaching staff was clueless. To little way to late.

 

[Emerz]

Can't believe I let myself believe they weren't going to blow it with Bobrovsky out of the net, I really thought they'd just shut it down, 1 god damn minute left and they can't just fling the f***ing thing up the ice.

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

We really lost the series bad in even strength play. If our PP hadn’t come up with big goals, it could have been ugly.

Yes, feels like the only one being able to generate anything 5on5 was Bertuzzi. Because everyone else refused to embrace playoff-hockey.

It's pretty sad, but we have seen that before over all those years. That core could have won way more, but they didn't.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Welp it’s been a pleasure watching the bruins this year and conversing with all of you… tough end to a great season…. And going to be interesting to see how management goes forward with the roster/goalies.

Don’t worry I’ll still be around, I signed a contract when lindholm signed to at least be a closet bruins fan until his contract is up

 

[Alicat]

Maybe practice is essential no matter where you are in the standings

 

[Gordoff]

My guess on injuries:

Broken ribs for Bergeron.

Broken spirit for Lindholm.

Broken toe for Orlov.

Broken eyebrow for McAvoy.

Broken everything for Krejci.

Broken vision for Zacha.

Broken ribs for Hathaway for sure. Other than Bergeron injury I don't care about the rest of them. THey played soft. Didn't hold their positional play.

 

[easton117]

Funny thing about this series. Florida played more like the Bruins of old than the Bruins of now did.

Chip in pucks. Get dirty. Go to the net.

I don’t know when exactly Boston decided they no longer wanted to play that way but I’d hope, in the future, they would go back to it.

They’ve become a team that relies on power plays to win games and looks lost in the playoffs 5 on 5.

They look small. And they played small all series.

The guy that beat them, Tkachuk, is the guy that should be a f***ing Bruin at this point.

 

[CAW1313]

God this sucks! I love Boston hockey but have no faith in them in the playoffs

 

[N o o d l e s]

Best player was a guy you just acquired. f***ing shameful

 

[Midship]

Not the pictures I wanted to be posting. Taken with tears in my eyes. Last hugView attachment 700567View attachment 700566

Whatever. Choking dogs.

 

[Zillah]

Sooooooo , we have very few prospects , an aging team and little cap space … good times !

 

[Sevendust]

I wanted to ask how the Bruin fans assess Orlov play in this series and if you’d like to keep him ?

Wrong timing

 

[Lord Ahriman]

The core will go down as great players who choked in every big moment and only won cause Thomas became god for 2 months

Thomas and Chara.

 

[UncleRico]

The rebuild has to start this offseason: sell, sell and sell.

It should have started last offseason when they failed. This time we dove in even harder and mortgaged the future for two years. This team is porked for a while.

 

[goldnblack]

With how much better Florida was, I ain't even mad.

Florida played better hockey, full stop. Congrats to them for wanting it more.

 

[Bodit9]

I can't remember how many times I screamed "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!" at the TV this series. It was just so brutal.

 

[BTO]

Anyway I have no interest in a post-mortem at this point.

As I said on Friday, I would be here on Sunday and if they won I’d be right back here for game 1. But if not I’m not going to wallow in misery over it. Been there, done that, not worth it anymore. I’m going to go outside and enjoy my spring and summer (if it ever stops raining) and will be right back here in September. Or April. Or whenever.

Be well everyone.

 

[Coach Parker]

End of an era. No chance Bergeron or Krejci come back. This was the year. Looked like Bergeron was crying hugging Marchand at the end.

So disappointed in Charlie McAvoy tonight. Worst player on the ice in too many of these big games.

I am right there with him. My favourite player of all time just choked away the season by coming back and leading his team to 3 losses in a row. I never thought I'd see the day.

 

[roflstomper]

I never wanted to be right. My heart is in pieces knowing that this is how Bergeron and Krejci are going out.

You are a very intelligent fan. You could see it.

 

[Brass97]

I can’t put a finger on Monty’s mind.

So often when he speaks, I feel like he watched a different game than I did.

Whole team is like this. Raycroft interview Gryz after the first and he basically said "Well, I think we did a good job..." and right there I stopped listening because they did nothing "good" in the first period.

 

[Oates2Neely]

2019 was worse. This sucks, but life will go on.

Somehow I will probably cheer for the Leafs, they have waited for too long.

F*** the Leafs & F*** their loser fanbase. I’ll easily root for mouthpiece chewer over that loser franchise/ fanbase

 

[LouJersey]

Perfect! Sounds like a recipe for draft lottery if I ever heard one!

The draft lottery is no fun when someone else owns your pick
