At first, I was embarrassed at how they played.
By the end, I was disgusted at their lack of any real pushback.

Embarrassing.

 

[Bridges31]

I didn’t even bother watching the third. Did Pasta and Marchand wake up? I see pasta had a goal.

Oh well on to the next one.

 

[McGarnagle]

 

[SPV]

17 giveaways stands out. Felt like even more than that to be honest. Gotta clean up their game.

@trenton1

should've just started pounding bennett at that point, it's 6-2, game is over. they already owed him for
suckering our captain in the playoffs. it's embarrassing. do you think it's the coach, the players,
or both?

JUST BURN THE TAPE

 

[BTO]

Well on the plus side:

 

[Mione134]

Burn the tape. Get on the plane. Get the f*** out of Florida.


Figure out what kind of team you're going to be before you land in Logan

 

[Grimey]

Not so much annoyed about the loss as I am with this “I hope Sam Bennett didn’t hurt himself running our goalie” mindset from this team. They’re just too nice.

 

[Babajingo]

Bruins practice tomorrow

 

[mar2kbos]

I think identity will be a problem for the next month or so. Seems they are caught between playing a skilled game and big body game. They haven’t looked comfortable since game one of preseason.

Could have a coach and a few players left in different airports between FLA and Logan. Landing not required

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Anyone who has ever played the game even just recreationally knows there isn’t much you can do when you are not in shape . Just end up puck watching. Physically and mentally they weren’t ready . It might be a tough couple of weeks before they find their legs .

 

[NDiesel]

I'm sure they'll come around but that was bad. They gotta make these clowns Tkachuk and Bennett pay next week too

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

Patriots will have better record after 7 games

Playing the game the "right" way.

Maybe this was it, I thought they maybe went too much size and needed to add some speed to the lineup, but perhaps they are just getting their skating legs back still.

Pasta was invisible, he wanted no part in this one.

 

[Bounces R Way]

One game but it was ugly.
Korpisalo and the entire defense were all mostly terrible.
Elias and Freddy were OK. Zacha scored a goal I guess.

Their mediocre. As planned. Good enough to make the playoffs. Thats all that matters. It's going to be many years of mediocrity.

I don't really know what the alternative is. Not being a top flight contender isn't a good enough reason to throw in the towel and suck on purpose. They have Pasta, McAvoy, and now Swayman signed through their primes. If a young C with top line upside hits the market for some reason Sweeney had better move heaven and earth to acquire him.

 

[BTO]

Well they clearly weren’t ready. Still thought it was pre-season. They’ll get better. But they better get *a lot* more physical first.

I did like E. Lindholm’s onetimer tho.

 

[Babajingo]

I wish Monty would say "I don't by the groceries"

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Utter failure to respond. A Bruce Cassidy style game of chasing points even when the game was heavily decided. Infuriating.

Added all the size only to have Frederic try politely, Zadorov and Kastelic be physical, and everyone else play as though it was game 43 against LA or Utah.

The fans truly do care more than the players which is remarkable if that cowardly Florida team cannot break a team out of its conservative shell.

Possibly both? I didn't like that Monty said last week that he "didn't like" Wotherspoon ripping the helmet off of Othmann at the end of a fight. Who cares? He was angry after taking some hits. Wotherspoon has that 2011 Bruins mentality of turning loose at the right time. No one should be stifling that.

And have shown zero big body game. Long season ahead
