BRUINS GDT GAME 10 7:08 PM - Gritty comes to Boston - NESN, NESN 4K, ESPN+, SN1, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[TheFerenceWheel]

Zacha looking like NJ era Zacha, which is not good. Marchy.... I fear he's not able anymore.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Why not try the 4th line on the PP??

..what have you got to lose?

 

[Bounces R Way]

Dick around with it on the perimeter, pass it to another guy to dick around with it who then passes it to another guy to dick around with it some more before inevitably turning it over.

Is that the gameplan? Try to think and dink your way to a pretty goal? Start blasting high and hard ones in there and if they don't go in go get it and blast em in there again.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Flyers getting a stick on seemingly every Bruins pass or shot.

Even on the B's PP, Konecny lost his stick and the stick still broke up a Bruins pass play by just being on the ice.

 

[FRyan4426]

Why is it ok for someone like Geekie to play soft and do nothing but they won’t try someone like Merk or Lysell because they’re afraid they’ll do the same thing? At least try it.

 

[The Un4casted Storm]

I wasn't trying to dump on him. I realize he needs to grow. However, it was still a bad
decision.

Sorry, wasn't trying to imply that you were dumping on him or anything . Was going to make my own post on his play and decided to piggyback off of yours instead, that's all haha.

Monty has said he favors “quality over quantity” which really isn’t what most NHL players need to hear IMO.

 

[Ladyfan]

So...the third has to be better...right?

 

[nORRis8]

I’ve never seen a guy blow more point blank opportunities by incessantly trying to pick corners. I feel like he shoots wide 9 out of every 10 times regardless of situation.

Yup.
Great sense at finding shooting lanes but the dude rattles it consistently of the glass

 

[Cam14b]

The three guys wearing letters are the biggest problem this season. Whether that's Monty's fault or theirs something needs to change. Even a win won't correct what we are all seeing with the eye test. Too lethargic and not enough fire!

I think the real players that need to smarten up are Coyle, Frederic, Geekie and Zacha.
McAvoy isn't far behind that lot too.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

I hurried home from golf to watch this mess????

You obviously finished up about 615?

 

[The don godfather]

Poitras to me has the vision to make things happen play him more.

 

[CDJ]

I’m starting to hesitate on him as well and I was a big defender of him as recently as this summer. The team is way too subdued and I’m not seeing anything from him that indicates he isn’t playing a part in it.

Team doesn’t seem to be built to play the way he wants

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Flyers sense a rare win here and will be defending with their lives in the 3rd. Not going to be easy to break down. Has this Bruins team got anything in the tank that can actually elevate their play and deliver a result? At the very least get physical and desperate and show some pride on home ice. A loss here and whatever momentum was gained from the Toronto game is instantly gone.

 

[RI.B FAN]

Not sure I want to watch this

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Quite literally have not noticed Frederic since game 1 against Florida where Tkachuk turtled.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

They can win this game easily by doing their play one period of good hockey routine so that's a plus.

Even the vaunted hitting hasn't shown up to do some damage.

 

[TheFerenceWheel]

That's because he's an overall draft bust

 

[hrdpuk]

how many periods without 5x5 goal from top 2 lines?

 

[BMC]

Game on!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OV]

Bruins new sponsor should be Old London Foods (they make Melba Toast)

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

This is it to me, he's a good coach but this group isn't built to his style and he and the players seemingly both refuse to bend or are unable too. It's on the players as well but in the end it's up to the coach to get the guys on the same page as him or work with what he has to find ways to win playing to the groups strength.

 

[CAW1313]

We are scoring 2 this period !! Lets go!!!!
