Literally everyone: “Monty, how do you address the Bruins play this season?”

Monty:

 

[dangermike]

Monty's gonna end up wearing this whole debacle but at the end of the day - these are grown men who make millions - they can try a little f***in harder, right?

 

[smithformeragent]

Clearly they don’t have the talent to simply show up and go through the motions.

Again, what do they do well?

Do they have the roster that would make a coaching change an effective move? Would simplifying their game, hitting, getting pucks and bodies to the net, and limiting the finesse play help?

Do they have the roster to play that brand of hockey?

 

[Cam14b]

I say again, the letter guys WTF? 88 with a weak wrister from the blue line amd 73 with a weak turnover.....Add 63 turning the puck over all night and that's another embarrassing loss!!

 

[Bruinaura]

Hard to believe just a couple seasons ago Montgomery coached the team with the best regular season in history.

Must have been the players more than the coach

 

[The don godfather]

This is pink slips stuff. Unreal.

 

[22Brad Park]

Monty has had 2 really good seasons here so I figure he deserves a chance to get out of this funk.That said ,I would be fine if Cam and Don think otherwise.Even trade someone to send message.Again not even 10 games in but it's getting there fast.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Morning Bru should be good tomorrow……

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

23 hits is rather generous.

Soft, soft, soft players and coaches.

 

[mikelvl]

I'm not getting that two and a half hours back. What a waste of time.

-Monty won't even make 20 games and he knows it. He knows it because none of the assistant coaches were ever his guys. He's a lame duck coach.
-Charlie McAvoy has been brutal lately. He just isn't what they want him to be. He's not a PP1 quarterback, he's bruising dman who can chip in offensively.
-The Lindholm twins are as vanilla as you can get.
-Marchand is not 100%, no jump, not sure if he can ever get that back at 36.
-Bunch of tomato cans in the middle six, Brasseau, Geekie, what happened to Frederic?
-Some blame for Sweeney here too, incredibly slow team

 

[UncleRico]

Far too many players who were producing last year are not doing so the first 10 games of the season so far. Need guys like Coyle, Frederic, Zacha and geekie to turn the corner

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Woof I want a refund for that one

 

[DarrenBanks56]

beecher and koepke only playing 8 minutes??
shoukd be way more.
guys like marchand zacha lindholm coyle are playing way too much. they look so old and slow.

Make a trade maybe.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Two basic assignments for Bruins management every year – make the playoffs and keep the fans happy and spending money. So, what’s Charlie Jacobs’ tolerance level for the on-ice product being this bad? And how long does he wait and hope things turn around before ordering a major change? I know the decisions technically lie with Sweeney and Neely, but I don’t think they do anything significant without the blessing and direction of ownership.

Put it this way. Two seasons ago I travelled half-way around the world to see the Bruins, on the road. Now I’m really not sure I’d mosey down from Charlestown for a home game. Especially at Garden prices. Hockey is a results business first and foremost but you sink even further if the entertainment factor disappears too. Bad is problematic. Bad and boring even worse.

It’s an ill wind blowing down the Causeway. We’ve not seen this franchise in such a tough spot for quite some time, early doors or not. How will they respond?

Clone the Florida system. Simple as that. Simple hockey. Boring hockey. Winning hockey.

Far better than this.

Or the right coach for the right roster.

Maybe this roster is just too broken and uneven to deliver on a consistent basis.

They have some pieces at the top of the roster, but they also have holes.

The middle of this roster feels very bloated.

 

[aguineapig72]

This was an artistic masterpiece. Two and a half hours watching Black & Gold paint dry.

 

[bruinsfan1968]

Damn, I lost 95K in Sports book on this band of unmerry misfits!

How incredibly all true.

 

[Sheppy]

Nothing like being down 1-0 going into the third and mustering up 3 shots on goal.

They f***ing quit.

[Jorah Marshmont]

Start scratching guys like coyle and Frederic. Start sending a message. It’s not like they’ve been helping on the ice at all
