Does changing the head coach really make a big difference???

Nope.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Nope.

Tell that to the Oilers or St Louis

A coach like Tortorella at least has the team playing tougher and to its strengths (simple, intense).

Montgomery has this roster playing softer than Cassidy's Bruins.

Losing happens but make a statement to the other team.

 

[bwunderlich]

brick's right, flyers doing what they want to do

really disheartening

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Flyers want this more.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Zero urgency.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

I consider a move behind the bench sooner rather than later because the roster is the roster and you don’t have many other cards to play.

Agreed, however…..did Sweeney really think this roster could score goals though?

What else can they do? They can't trade anybody for a good return considering how they're playing right now plus cap issues and NTC/NMC in too many contracts.

 

[Horton Hears A Woo]

This team might suck.

Sorry, not clear if I mean Boston or Philadelphia.

Yes.

Might? This bruins team is a complete joke. You would think they would come out with fight and energy and blow this piss poor flyers team out.. instead we are seeing what the rest of the year is going to be. This team has no scoring period. It’s actually impressive when you think about it

[EverettMike]

LOL one shot on net this period.

 

[nORRis8]

We do not have the skill, firepower, desire to hem the opposition in late in the game.
Sad.

It can. But you have to get the change right. And that's not easy to do. Far more don't really work than the opposite.

Jesus Christ how many turnovers does Marchand have tonight?

 

[Alicat]

Great stuff from CMac and Marchand, the two whipping boys

Square, lower case J & a squiggle

 

[smithformeragent]

The days of player for player hockey trades that shake rosters up don’t really happen in the post salary cap NHL.

So you either slog though and hope they find their game or you can the coach and try to light a fire (whether it’s his fault or not).

It’s not like you can swing a trade tomorrow to inject talent into this roster.

So what else can you do? Be patient I guess.

evergreen

Monty drawing a sad face on his board

When he first came to Boston he preached defending teammates, up tempo hockey, and even calling time outs (Cassidy was brutally terrified of time outs).

Now... this.

 

[CDJ]

Haven’t the cancer survivors suffered enough? Can we get em a f***ing goal? Just 1???

 

[nORRis8]

A scrum!!!
Here's where Frederic acts tough and scares no one.

I think @Fenway has hit the nail on the head: Sweeney has a mandate to avoid the bottom falling out like what happened with the Blackhawks.

He’s done what he’s been tasked with doing by ownership, namely kick the rebuilding can down the line time and time again.

It’s worked….to a point.

Only if the last name says Tkachuk

Yes.

This game sucks
