BRUINS GDT GAME 20 1:08 PM - NEW YORK, NEW YORK - NESN, NHLN ( NO ESPN+), SN, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[Fenian24]

If the roster doesn’t look like the toughness we had in 2011 or 2013, they won’t win in the playoffs. This is a good team we have but they aren’t there yet and if the goalies have any struggles we see games like the last 2….IMO…..we get this kind of results……but we have seen them forwards coast a lot the last 2 days.

Why are we even talking about the need for the BOSTON BRUINS to add toughness?

Because these BOSTON BRUINS are soft.

Because these BOSTON BRUINS are soft.

Bingo!!!!!

 

[NeelyOrr]

Because these BOSTON BRUINS are soft.

Yup. It's been quite a while since they were 'big and bad.'

 

[chizzler]

Do they play zone or man on defense? They surely get confused on assignments. Then they just try to shoot it out because they aren’t hitting and skating.

 

[Fair Warning]

Bruins will need some help before the TDL. It will be difficult because the only player they have of value, who can be traded, is Ullmark.

I think they may pick up a complementary player or two but won’t make any big moves. They don’t have the cap space or the assets, and I’d rather they not trade away any more draft picks given their need to acquire more prospects in key areas.

This year is a pleasant surprise so far. I think most of us had them pegged at #6-#8 in the conference before the season began. And with all the cap space set to be available next year, I’m not sure if this is a team I’d go “all in” on.

Rangers showing the B's who the real top team is in the ea

Is Mitchell really a better option than Lohrei at this point?

does it make a difference either way? Outside of cap

 

[missingchicklet]

5 games in 8 days. 3 road. 2 home. Home not even back to back. So travel for all 5 games. Throw in Thanksgiving. It’s a long season.

Yep. Bs worn down a bit physically and mentally ATM. Plus the NYR are playing awesome hockey and are one of the best few teams in the league. Crappy game today for the Bs. We got spoiled by last season's non-stop winning.

 

[Ladyfan]

See you next game. This thread will be ugly and that is not enjoyable

We have become the Vancouver Canucks of 2011. I think some posters here would love that team

 

[Bleached]

Whatever. Come April no one will remember two games in November anyway

 

[Alicat]

They need to do a lot of video work for Columbus and then you give them Tuesday off and have a real hard practice Wednesday and a morning skate Thursday prior to San Jose.

 

[Bruinaura]

Lauko with five hits

 

[BergyWho37]

I’d personally like to see more people finishing checks that would be something not these consistent flybys plays

 

[Alicat]

They cannot lose to Columbus period

I can't help but wonder what the BRUINS could have gotten from the Oilers for Ullmark?

Let's be fair, that Canuck team was much tougher than this Bruins team. This group of Bruins is starting to whine and cry to the refs like that Canucks team however.

Well they added alot of 1 year contracts with eyes squarely on off season and a centre .Where are they strongest to make a trade.Yup in nets but Ullmark has 16 team NTC so maybe ride it out with eyes on next season but hope this season with what they have.Poistras here and seeing Lohrei its a win already. House money this season baby

Admittedly, same here.

in the easy they will need ti get tougher to beat Rags or Bolts.
To beat the Devils or Leafs the Bruins current line up dies that.
Who else is in the east Canes ? They physically scare nobody.
But the west ? Ha! Knights , Stars, Kings, roll four lines and play a physical style to Bruins would not hold up against .....as it stands today.

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

All teams have to do is smother Marchand and pasta and we’re done

 

[Alicat]

Jacob Trouba’s deserves a suspension for the two handed to Frederic’s head

OMG Pasta

 

[Bleached]

Never seen anyone go into the post neck first before

 

[Alicat]

Thank god for the visor

 

[Fenian24]

Pathetic
