Post-Game Talk: GAME 16 - Advantage Linus - Ottawa 3 BRUINS 2 OT

[22Brad Park]

I am just so disappointed in these players. They are the elite and have to use a coach as a scapegoat to skate around in circles. You are professionals. Act like it.

His constant switching is bothersome I would imagine. They probably to a man never appreciated him grabbing Marchand on camera by shoulder either .I really feel he has worn out his wlcm already here with key parts of this roster.Saying he has no answers takes cake.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Nonsense. Kastelic and Koepke aren’t marshmallow soft. Nor is Zadorov. Well in the head, maybe.

I think Monty's the one who's soft in the head

..he keeps switching the lines around way too much

Swayman might be centering the 3rd line next game

Then be above it and get on the ice and prove him wrong. Tired of this blame game

It's past that probably.They don't want to play for him by looks of that 3rd period.

Which makes it worse. They are paid a lot and people pay a lot to watch. Step up

 

[bobbyorr04]

They do have a favorable schedule the rest of November. If they can't be 2 or 3 over. 500 by then I think you have to pull the trigger. Don't think JM is to blame at all but that's the way it is. Sweeney should go really but that won't happen til the end of next season probably

GM's usually have a limit of how many coaches they can fire

..and Sweeney has got to be on his last coach by now

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Monty is Sweeney and Neely's shield right now. If he gets let go at this point and they bring someone else in and the team continues to play like crap, there is no one to lay blame on but themselves at that point for constructing this roster. Kinda like how Julien was the fall guy and Cassidy was the fall guy for the multiple holes in Sweeneys lineup every year.

This is true. They fire Monty and then they're in the last chance saloon, because if the next coach can't turn the ship around, as seems fairly likely to be the case, then the GM is next on the block, and the Pres probably won't be too far behind.

But Monty himself is practically begging to be fired now. He looks and sounds miserable, desperate and out of ideas, and is just waiting for a mercy killing so he can make a clean break and consider his future career options.

Must be a very weird and uneasy place within the inner sanctum of the Bruins at the moment.

 

[The don godfather]

I say more patience needed . Let's give it another 10 games before cleaning house.

Yea I guess.Let me ask you this.Are u a fan of McAvoy running powerplay because that's not working.Is the answer step it up or have someone else running it?

 

[Clode]

Nonsense. Kastelic and Koepke aren’t marshmallow soft. Nor is Zadorov. Well in the head, maybe.

Team mentality. Those guys are big and mean but the rest of them play with the killer instincts of a Pomeranian and three guys aren't going to change that.

 

[Babajingo]

I know the offense is the major issue with this team, but Carlo is the worst.
A goalie on the Chelsea Peewee B team is better with the puck than he is. my god he is horrible.
He had the puck in his own D corner but with absolutely no one around him. I think there was a Sen about 15-20 feet away from him, and he coughed it up on an attempted dump out. Led to about a minutes more time in their zone.

He reminds me so much of Wesley.

 

[easton117]

Mentally and physically unprepared for NHL level hockey

The only thing that makes sense to me, based on how they start games vs how they end, is these guys are massively out of shape.

It’s the only thing that makes sense

 

[analyser]

We get completely dominated for half of the game by a rebuilding Sens team. The outlook does not look promising.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Yea I guess.Let me ask you this.Are u a fan of McAvoy running powerplay because that's not working.Is the answer step it up or have someone else running it?

Yes I am because I have seen him to it before. They are all turning into overpriced
Primadonnas

 

[easton117]

One thing I was wondering watching this one. What happened to cycling the puck?

Krejci, Horton, Lucic, three guys that wouldn’t win a race against my 8 year old daughter if you gave them a lead. Used to do it beautifully. Generated chances. Limited turnovers. Made them a handful to deal with.

Did that kind of play just die out altogether?

It certainly beat watching the one and done lazy wrister from the point we’re subjected to nightly now

No, that type of play/players moved to the Florida Panthers.

lol I know this is probably frowned upon here but I really like the way Florida plays hockey.

Reminds me of Boston 2009-2014

Great point
SweeNeely will want to hang onto Monty until the cows come home

..or until the fans no longer come home

It' might have something to do with the guy behind the bench.Look at type player he was when he played.Lazy Bynger if memory serves me right.

 

[Ladyfan]

I thought the Bs played well in the first two...but the third stunk.

I am really tired...tough week...

 

[bobbyorr04]

That's sports in general nowadays.

Yep...it's not only a Bruins problem

..every team in every sport have over-priced prima donnas

 

[easton117]

Sacco Magic

I’d prefer they go off the board to be honest. One of them is currently responsible for their pp at the moment. Another is doing the pk. Not sure who is doing what. But I’d like for it not to continue.

 

[Ladyfan]

Just left the game. Crowd was into it all night even tho the bruins couldn’t string two passes together and didn’t seem to care.this team stinks and has no chemistry. Fire Monty before it’s too late.

Zadorov was a terrible signing.

yep...looks that way so far.

I am exhausted. I hope they do better on the road.

Nice to see Linus. I wish him the best this season.
