Dracula is going to be in net for them?

And probably shut them out no doubt.

Checking the team stats above even with limited playing time Lohrei leads the Bruins D in points per game. A defensive work in progress sure, a forward playing defense maybe, but definite offensive potential they could use.

If we lose v the Flames and my guess get demolished by the Sens on Saturday with their potent PP.... Montgomery is toast by Sunday.

I'd rather see us win but this is turning into a "whatever" season

The indifference is strong this season.

vladar will be wanting to prove to the B’s front office that they made a mistake. Bruins will only score 1 or 2 goals anyway if they’re lucky

Yeah I'm sure Vladar is thinking that he needs to show the Bruins they made a mistake keeping Jeremy Swayman instead of him.

Wonder how long we can keep this going.

If Bruins lose to X, Monty will be gone by Yday.

Small sample size on a team that isn't scoring at all. Not saying a lot.

His numbers project to 8-24-32. Pretty good, unless he's a defensive liability as well.

I'm not worried about his playing time.

80's for me.

I will be doing everyone a favor and taking a brake from the board as well. Bad vibes not healthy

I was trying to put a timeframe on it and i think you’re in the right area here.

Well....what's bothersome is basically everything.
Offence is horrible.
Star players not contributing.
Defensive mistakes.
Horrible PP.
Turn overs.
Penalties
Crappy PK.
And the back-up (to a certain extent) is out playing the ""franchise"" goalie.

Certain players benched, called out in the media when it's the entire team minus the 4th line who are not playing good.

I've been holding off on canning Monty but if we drop the next two that's it. Something's gotta change.

Can't disagree with any of those things.

But will the Bruins really pay Monty to go away? Won't that crush Mr. Burns to his core?
