NESN ratings must be in the crapper.I don’t know how many more games like this I can take, this crap hockey just sucks the fandom right out of you. They’re gonna get steamrolled on Thursday (reverse jinx).

They borrowed them from the Columbus feed.
I can’t get NESN, I have to pay for ESPN+ and half the time they don’t show the Bruins.

Bruins' Jim Mongomery Throws Jermey Swayman Under the Bus After Blue Jackets Loss
Things are going south quickly for the Boston Bruins in the 2024-25 season with no answers in sight. Monday night at the TD Garden, they added to their long-run

Accountability? More rare than the duck-billed platypus.

Well I see he told Ty Anderson he's gonna step up so that's nice cause he's the elephant in the room.
There's lots of little things wrong with this team but a lot of them are the same things as last year just magnified. The real difference is the goaltending. Last year we had elite goaltending. Last year we would probably have come out of that first period undeservingly leading 1-0. This team has always played better with a lead and is simply not built for comebacks. Early saves held us in games and then we'd get a bounce and win. This year, he simply is not making many big saves and is inconsistent or even shit.
One could say Swayman broke this hockey team. The negotiation affected the mindset like Neely has suggested and he got the money and he is not delivering. One team had elite goaltending tonight, but it wasn't us. It hasn't been us on any night Swayman's played.
Face it, right now, if he was not the 8 million dollar man he'd be on his way to Providence and we'd be giving Bussi a shot. He most definitely would not be the main starter as Korpisalo has been much better (and he's only average NHL level). I generally don't dump on goalies, but if you look at last year and this year that's the biggest difference and the team as whole no longer has thew swagger great goaltending gives you.
Sure, you can argue that it's Sweeney's fault but in the end, Swayman got the money and has to live up to it and he isn't. In hindsight keeping Ullmark and trading Swayman would have been better. Trading Ullmark and then trading the hold out Swayman for a top notch forward and giving him the money would have been better.
Right now I wouldn't care if they waived Swayman and brought up Bussi. If some other team wants to claim that huge contract for nothing let them. We can use the money on a good forward for next year.

Has to be something right...
I don't pay enough attention, is it normal to announce no practice right after a game? Or was it not announced and leaked? Either way, interesting.
Though I'm pretty sure if they fire Monty they'll have an interm guy take the reigns from inside the organization.
Special team coaches should be fired as well if Monty is getting the axe.

Sweeney is going to load up Team Canada with basically Crosby, McDavid, MacKinnon, and Makar, then add a pile of two-way grinding forwards and soft lanky D-men.
I don’t have trouble with Bruins in ESPN+, except Stars are blacked out for me. NHL Network has taken a few already so ESPN won’t have those, or the TNT stuff.

The Florida Panthers broke this hockey team.

I want the NHL to no longer allow NMC/NTC in the next CBA. Right now none of the financial responsibility falls on the player, only the team. Teams need some recourse.
