Post-Game Talk: GAME 14 - When the skies of November turn gloomy - Hogtown 4 BRUINS 0

[BadBruins]

Absolutely terrible PK and PP did them in. The lack of adjustments to the PP is infuriating. This game was there for the taking in the 1st period. Would have had the Leafs on their heels for the rest of the game had they even a respectable PP. Entry's are embarrassing. Trying to force the same one or two plays when they do eventually get set up.

Pastrnak looking this disinterested is concerning to me. Thought being back with Marchand might have sparked him, but no.

team needs someone to step up. 4th line can’t do everything

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

If Pasta is not 100% he should sit because he is doing nothing but hurting his team being in the lineup!
I hope McAvoy is also nursing an injury because it not be is absolutely brutal!

If he sits the Bruins have 36 year old Marchand and Frederic to score goals.

I jest on Frederic. Invisible yet again.

special teams

what were they, 0/1000 tonight?

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

Let's face it, this team cannot score. They had the same problems last year (but not quite as bad) and when Pasta or Marchand aren't scoring they virtually have no offense at all. Obviously the difference in power plays made a difference, but that's part of it. They do not have the scoring talent they need to be a cu[p contender and as is, this team is going nowhere.

hate losing to the Leafs. Just hate it.

Fire the PP coach

Yup.

Whoever he is. He’s lost them 3 games at least this year. Then fire his replacement immediately after hiring him.

Set the tone for the 3rd guy. Because there’s no bleach for the eyes. And mine need it after that mess I just watched.

Tough night all around for a lot of folks. Didn't see the game but i was getting text updates from my buddy who's a Leafs fan. Same problems. Ineffective power play, can't score 5v5.

Stay safe ya'll is all i'm going to say for those out there since i don't want to incur rage/wrath.

 

[Shaun]

the more i think about it the more upset i get about the coaching staff. truly pathetic the lack of discipline and the way this team has performed with the talent they have.

 

[McGarnagle]

Last week I was joking that Neely would fire Jim while everyone was distracted by election coverage but I'm thinking it might actually come true

Jim Montgomery's latest news conference:

I couldn't help imagining this guy with a bald head...

..and bingo, it's Monty

 

[22Brad Park]

Win or lose, the entertainment value of these games is lacking.

I had no idea Stolarz had this in him.

The PK could be historically bad, and the PP isn't helping.

Tired legs playing with only 5 D.

Bruins are 16th in PK & that was before tonite.

 

[rfournier103]

Not even one lousy goal.

If the Bruins are going to make a coaching change, they’ll never fly lower under the radar than tomorrow.

 

[Gordoff]

Not even one lousy goal.

If the Bruins are going to make a coaching change, they’ll never fly lower under the radar than tomorrow.

From what Dom said the other night on his Podcast, Monty is fairly safe.
Probably because of the two wins against weak and/or tired teams.
IMO, this is a roller coaster team/season with more downs than up.
Get it done DS, move on from him. Clueless.

 

[BTO]

Brutal night. Bad game too.

The lack of finish against Philly and Seattle seemed like an endless comedy of errors.

Tonight, though, the Leafs' goalie was phenomenal.

So far other than Florida, the Atlantic is mired in mediocrity. So if the B's beat the teams they are supposed to beat, hustle and steal a few wins against better teams, the playoffs are doable.

And they'd be entering the playoffs playing desperate hockey, for a change.

I do think by April/May the Panthers may be less formidable/fatigued, so you never know.

My issue is, at 56, I'm not as much of a results person as I was when I was younger. Of course I'd love to see the Bruins win another Cup. But I'm ok watching entertaining hockey; which right now this is not.

I'll add that goes for some of the out of town games I've watched, too. Structured defenses, sound technical goalies (who are huge), and long spurts of low-event hockey.
