BRUINS GDT GAME 17 8:08 PM - THE BEAR swims in the Mississippi River - NESN, ESPN+. 98.5 WBZ-FM

[lextune]

I don't buy the fact that not ONE player stands out (in a positive way) right now and everyone has decided to suck at the same time. Starting to think there is a dressing room issue here.

I said this a few weeks ago, looks like a team that has completely quit on their coach, or has had some kind of serious lockerroom problem.

0/4 on the Power Play for Boston
2/3 on the Power Play for St.Louis

Sweeney better do something fast .They need a good trade

I miss the days when you could trade a 1st rounder and get guys like a Charlie Simmer who could come right in and give you 30+ goals and a point per game.

 

[Thirty Seven]

I don't know how anyone can sleep after seeing this. I'd be worried about dreaming of the Bruins powerplay on repeat

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Bruins are heavier and taller. So
Many folk crying for this type of team. Going to be fun year of bigness. Woop.

Thank God they got rid of the quaterback on the powerplay Krug, they still have not replaced him.

 

[Ladyfan]

Our special teams are horrendous and break this team over the course of the game. IMO those coaches have to go first not get promoted by firing Monty

The PP has never been the best but the PK....was always so good.

 

[NeelyOrr]

coaching? You got to wonder

Coaching? Really? Well, at least, it's a change from the old 'he must be hurt' excuse.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

That comment should have been the last one for him.That is coaching suicide yet here in remains.

You gotta wonder if Sweely are nervous if another highly touted coach gets canned and goes on to win a cup within a few years. That happens again and it proves (shows what we all see) that management hold the most blame.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Team was looking ok in general play but not putting any real pressure on the Blues, PP was a failure as usual. Then some ill-discipline again, bad PK, and the wheels are off once more.

This group's confidence is shattered. I'm not sure if anyone could fix it, but we need to see someone try.

I'm inclined to agree. Don't know what it is, but body language is pretty awful all-around.

Watching Ottawa shut out the Leafs on my IPad

Ottawa plays with speed, structure and effort.....right now they are clearly a better bet for the playoffs than the team from Boston

Changes are need both behind the bench and in the locker room .....my player suggestion is Trent Fredrick while he still has some value

The move behind the bench becomes even more obvious

Plus their power play is structured and has constant movement. B's are so easy to defend when they a have the man advantage.

Yea I wish lol..I am Sweeney though I am trying to swing a trade with somebody.They need help

 

[Bruinfanatic]

0/4 on the Power Play for Boston
2/3 on the Power Play for St.Louis

Hard to win when both special teams suck.

 

[Ladyfan]

They don’t use their anger well, then.

I am pissed off too...I will have to find a way to direct my anger. It is not the Bs that piss me off but I am not a happy lady and ready to lash out

Yep....game, set and match for the Sens.

 

[Sigh]

Fix the damn PK. That would change the outlook SO MUCH.

 

[Ladyfan]

They don't look like themselves on the bench. No fun being had. That your read from your seat?

exactly

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

As a staunch Monty defender (and I still think he's a good coach) we can't do this anymore.

He says Poitras is sent down because the kind doesn't grasp the Bruins structure. I don't think there's a player on the team who understands it. I don't think Monty knows. What the f*** are we looking at?

 

[22Brad Park]

Rather TANK then be mediocre

 

[mar2kbos]

The team is certainly looking like they are waiting for the shoe to drop. Might as well do it fast, because surely the rumors arent motivating them

 

[FRyan4426]

Eye test says this team has completely quit on the coach.

 

[Ladyfan]

Bottom line is these two are your corner stones and need to earn their paychecks

Something is up with the whole team IMHO.

Agree with this and why I don't see Monty fired anytime soon

I think Monty has some real strengths as a coach but I'm also almost certain that at present he has too many flaws/limitations to coach a team to a Cup. Not to say he couldn't get there in time, but I'd wager it wouldn't be anytime soon. I couldn't see walking straight into another head coaching role like Cassidy did.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

The Blues PP was one of the few that was worse than the Bruins
