Is this a must win game for Monty?

Two weeks ago they had lost 4 of 5 and got beat 8-2. He survived.

They’ve now lost 4 of their last 6 including a 7-2 blowout loss. He’s still here today.

Their special teams is terrible. Their effort is questionable. Why would tonight be any more telltale than most of the last month?

Sounds like he's a lock for the top 6 tonight Go B's!!

Jackets are doodoo and this is schedule wise a good time to make a coaching swap if they feel they need to do that. But I partially agree with you that he likely isn't going anywhere this season.

Nothing is more mind numbing to me than any description of a hockey player's game, because they all sound exactly like that.

Powerplay is an absolute disgrace

I had to go back and refresh my memory about some of the guys that suited up for them in 2006-07.

This season might parallel that experience!

Now time to fight Monty

 

[smithformeragent]

Any word on whether or not Ford will sue the Bruins for damages related to defamation of character stemming from their sponsorship of the "Ford Bronco Horseshit Power Play"?

Kids are staying over tonight. Celebrating the lady friends pops’ birthday cuz the rest of their fam is in the Azores.

I have zero desire to watch hockey today. Maybe i will record and watch tomorrow.

Thank you to the Boston Bruins for this unprecedented indifference I feel toward hockey.

 

[Alicat]

We will see if I make it through the first period. The crash from an anxiety attack is brutal.

To me this feels more like 2005-06. I remember chatting with my high school buddy at a bar that September of '05 and he's the biggest Bruins fan I know. It was he who got me into Bruins hockey all the way back in Grade 3 class in 1990. We were all excited about the new additions. Zhamnov, Leetch, McEachern, Scatchard. Joe got his extension.

And that team turned out to be dreadful. Just awful hockey to watch. Slow, no effort. The effort level jumped once Thornton got dealt, but that was about it.

The 1999-2000 season is also a good comparison to this years team.

Excellent comparison. I can remember back then listening to scratchy WBZ 1040 on the radio here in Canada to hear the games. Painful year to follow them. Just a bad team that had no structure and found ways to lose. Looks like this team is a repeat.

What's scarier is the coach of that dreadful team might be the next long-term coach here. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

@Fenway , how are the viewership ratings?

Powerplay is an absolute disgrace

PK might be worse! 75%!!!???

I don’t like blaming coaches for team failures, but this is theoretically an “improved” roster on paper from last year and they are worse by every objective measure. And their effort is questionable, on top of seeing new line combos every day.

If this isn’t worthy of a coaching change I’m not sure what is.

4-2-2 last 8 in playoffs as of today

Meh. They are clearly playing like crap. Not sure barely above .500 in 8 games is much to party over.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

This B's team is definitely the CV 2 of the series.

They're more like Alucard from CV 3.

My kid finally killed the f***ing TV so I may be spared from watching this.

 

[Blitzkrug]

God trying to sell this Viel guy as some type of big add is an insult to our collective intelligence.

At least with Tyler Johnson he was producing at a viable clip in the NHL given the circumstances. This guy's career high for points is 40...in the AHL.

This is the last I’ll say on the matter (or I’ll take it to the OT thread), but the famicom disk system version of the CV3 soundtrack is far superior to the NES version.

Sucks to be you. You're going to miss the ascension of the next great superstar in Jeffrey Viel!

...is it baseball season yet?
