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.

...and who could clean the ice with his moustache in between periods.

 

[22Brad Park]

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.

Well he can't just sit there and keep watching this but I get what you are saying.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Getting rid of Monty is not going to make this guys turn into scoring machines, lets temper the expectations a bit. We got rid of scoring for size and grit, there needed to be a middle ground but they went a block past that. Silver lining if this is it, perhaps they get a good pick for once.

Jaffe is not a happy guy. Cant blame him watching this

Charlie Simmer! What a steal for Harry when he got him that year. Those were the days when you could make moves all during the year and teams did. Now you have a team with 11 guys with no trade clauses and the rest of the guys should be in the AHL which means nobody else wants them as they have the same bunch on their team.

Bettman’s Parity NHL

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Zadorov and Carlo sweet f***ing christ boys figure it out

Neither guy takes the ice away down low.

 

[neelynugs]

this team sucks

 

[RoccoF14]

Poor Billy Jaffe is going to stroke-out in the studio…

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

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 the 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.

I totally agree, Monty is a good choice to get rid of at this point imo. Canning Bruce was the mistake ultimately. Monty is a coach for a team full of structure and leadership that just need a good figure head to set the schedules.

 

[Absurdity]

Good on Jaffe for laying it into them

This team is lost, no coaching change is going to fix this mess.

A big named player or two need to go.

Hard to play a big & heavy game when you can't kill a penalty.

Little details..People here hated Forbert but he was better on pk then Zadorov .Not sure how much more I can take watching him wander around.

 

[ae530]

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?

A big steaming pile of dog shit

Put him behind the bench

 

[KrugAvoy]

This is going to be a looooong season . I have Center Ice and watch a ton of hockey . Bruins are the worst team I have seen .

It's a boys club. They went into the season out of shape think they'd steam room the league again. When they go down in the game they just curl up and give up . Heck even when they win half the time they need OT

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Well he can't just sit there and keep watching this but I get what you are saying.

I think they want a specific guy and don't know if he's available quite yet.

The roster has issues. No doubt.

But they're not THIS bad. The Bruins aren't... Like they look like one of the worst teams in the NHL most nights.

Point in case? The Blues are a f***ing MESS. And they look like a well-oiled machine next to the Bruins.

No more. Do something TONIGHT.

 

[McBrom7]

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

It’s just a stupid team. Acceptance helps.

They can obviously just stop taking stick infractions in the offensive zone but we’re almost 20 games in here..

It’s a sample size and they’re just a stupid team. Unless there’s a big coming to pasture or something this is who they are.

 

[badbrewin]

Used to be fun watching Behind the B last few years when they won regularly.

Dennis Leary will need counseling after this season.

 

[BB79]

PK or PP doesn't matter anymore, both are a disadvantage.

Fire Monty and trade someone to Columbus. Shape up or get fired/wished away to the cornfields of Ohio

 

[The don godfather]

Man did monty mess up that historic season with that 3 game to 1 lead debacle and here we are. Hope he survives because I think he can still make a impact come playoff time. Reminds me of julien situation.

Hard to play a big & heavy game when you can't kill a penalty.
