"I fully expect this team to make a deep playoff run " ~JJ

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Worst game of the year.

K.Miller playing. McQuaid with the huge mistake on the 3rd goal. So few scoring chances.

Big dud loss in a must win against a divisional opponent.

Expect more of the same as long as #86 and #54 are dressed on the same night...

 

[trenton1]

terrible game.

 

[pierre gagnon*]

plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose, binkies are recycled and injured ones are back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

 

[BruinDust]

Seriously.

Without Rask, Pastrnak, Chara and Carlo, this team is up the creek already this season.

Even the vaunted Marchand has only been scoring at a 16 goal pace after his huge 5 pt. night in Game 1.

Just 4 goals in 19 games since then.

 

[Absurdity]

Bad game all around. Tomorrow will tell us where this team stands.

 

[DitClapper]

Chara is the most important piece on this team.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

Shaking my head at those blaming this loss on Miller and McQuaid. As usual, the offense is only able to muster up 1 goal. They're a much bigger problem right now than the defense.

 

[Emerz]

The offensively challenged bruins coming up with another 1 goal wonder game, would've been zero if pasta didn't get healthy.

There are big problems, we'd be in a lottery position if Rask didn't post a .950 SV percentage for like 12 games.

 

[northeastern]

The defensive group played tonight needs to all play amazing games to be even close to good enough... Chara needs to come back or Sweeney needs to make moves to save his job.

 

[Boston Bruno]

Bad game all around. Tomorrow will tell us where this team stands.

Calgary goalie has been lights out in november. Pray for elliot.

Once Chara is back out goes Morrow and Julien has his perfect lineup of defensive players

At least Marchand is creating chances and has skills.

Still waiting for Spooner to do something. Anything.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

0.7 seconds to send a message.

The new NHL.

Poor Morrow. Looked good the past couple of games and was saddled with K.Miller tonight...

 

[TheBigBadB]

Krug is not worth 5 mil he hasnt improved since year one.

 

[Hali33]

That was an awful game.

 

[BruinDust]

Shaking my head at those blaming this loss on Miller and McQuaid. As usual, the offense is only able to muster up 1 goal. They're a much bigger problem right now than the defense.

Well Morrow and Kevan made mistakes that lead to the 1st goal.

Krug with the bad turnover on the 2nd. Not much to blame McQuaid for on goal #2.

Then while Krejci was the primary culprit on goal #3, McQuaid certainly didn't play it well at all and got schooled by two highly skilled players.

So if were being fair both the 2nd pair and 3rd pair (or is that 3rd pair and 2nd pair, pretty interchangeable to me), were grossly at fault on the 3 goals allowed.

So yeah you can't just blame Kevan and McQuaid, but they certainly had a fairly big hand in the loss.

Fair to say right now offense and defense are an issue.

Problem is, Kevan and McQuaid aren't helping defensively, and they only hinder offensively.

 

[Gee Wally]

When you turnover the puck like they did theres no way youre going to win.

 

[BruinDust]

At least Marchand is creating chances and has skills.

Still waiting for Spooner to do something. Anything.

He's been the 2nd best forward, it's not even close actually.

Problem is that isn't saying much. And even he isn't playing up to expectations.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Chara is the most important piece on this team.

I thought he was a washed up over the hill past his prime former Norris overpaid loser... Shouldn't believe everything I read over here...

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

...

What. A. Dud.



Aside from a couple of players (Krug, Pastrnak, Moore), no one trying to push the pace of the game. Either passive or infuriatingly sloppy all game long.

 

[Hali33]

Don't think you can find an opportunity to sit Rask anytime soon and expect a win.
Team can't even ****ing score to take the slightest amount of pressure off this god awful defense right now. And seeing a couple of our forwards making sloppy plays knowing that is a real **** off.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

This team is boring win or lose.
