Defensively that may of been the worst Bruins game since the final month of the Dave Lewis era.

Forget the fact that they can't generate squat 5 on 5. How did a Top 5 defensive team go all the way to the bottom 5?

Like we know that they aren't built for high scoring games. But for the defensive coverage to be as bad as it's been thus far, to be giving up high danger chance after high danger chance, there is zero excuse.

We know they have the personnel to be able to defend. It's on the coaching.

Nothing says being “predictable to each other” like throwing the lines in a blender with guys who don’t play together.

What a geek.
His blender approach was pretty much the equivalent of this:

Some UGLY efforts from this group this year.

How can this be basically the same team as last year?

Seems like a team that has quit (on its coach?), or has had a some kind of serious lockerroom strife.

Monty will be the sacrificial lamb, but this entire team has issues.
Usually starts there especially when the team is basically the same as last year and playing much much worse. So the hope is a new coach wakes them up before having to do the other stuff

Bruins are in shambles. Big trade.
Would you???

Charlie McAvoy (9.5) and Coyle (5.25) for Elias Pettersson (11.5) and Tyler Myers (3.0)

That 14.75 out and 14.5 in.

Too early?
I would seriously consider this.
I don’t think we see a big trade right now , I wouldn’t mind a big trade but moves like that happen in the off season . A Johnson signing, a call up from Providence and Montgomery’s leash just got a lot tighter. I don’t think they fire him just yet but the time is coming .
