BRUINS GDT GAME 43 7:08 PM - THE BEAR cries as Connor McDavid, Wes McCauley, and Chris Rooney visit TD Garden - NESN, ESPN+, SN, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[Guelph Bruin]

Pretty good demonstration of why we need to sell at the deadline. We're simply pretenders this year compared to contenders.

 

[LouJersey]

Swayman the only reason this is 1-0. Some huge saves point blank from the slot.

Forward and defense completely outclassed

Can't remember a Bruins defense that gave up more or better chances on such a consistent level.

 

[Sheppy]

Good news only down 1 zip

That’s not good news, man.

 

[Alicat]

Good pk. Now extract your heads from your asses

 

[Fenway]

 

[Gordoff]

Bruins best chance to win is to be very physical on every play and hit, hit, hit.
Wear them down all over the ice but I doubt they have that mentality.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Lucky that Swayman showed up in that period because no one else did.

He had absolutely no idea where the puck was many times. Completely lucky.

 

[smithformeragent]

Maybe in addition to the 7th player, they can introduce the “Moral Victory” and “Silver Lining” awards this Spring.

 

[Forester65]

This makes it look like he has a man bun.

Channeling his inner Krecji.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Well that score could be worse that’s my only positive so far..

Pretty much. To only concede 1 was fortuitous. Swayman was steady. Had a couple of decent moments but their overall play remains very clunky. Can't build any sustained O zone pressure, D looks slow and half a step out of position, as it often does. But at least they are still in the game.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Marchand oscillates multiple times every shift between playing super aggressive defense and incredibly passive defense.

One moment he’s darting after his man, damn all positioning. The next he’s collapsing back into the slot affording the puck carrier ten feet of space.

 

[The don godfather]

That’s not good news, man.

It should have been 3 zip. They had suberb chances .

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Oilers get away with a bunch of shit, Referee's must be watching the game rather than calling penalties

 

[The don godfather]

I like elias lindholm but he is pissing me off.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Yeah that doesn't look like an acting job to me. Skinner's mask eats the majority of that impact and he's coming out of the game.

Zadorov is such a god damn plug.

Yeah and no one on Edmonton was willing to do anything about it.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

He had absolutely no idea where the puck was many times. Completely lucky.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky then good.

 

[Mione134]

I like elias lindholm but he is pissing me off.

Flames fans and Nucks fans felt the same way

 

[bruins19]

This makes it look like he has a man bun.

That’s what I thought at first - along with being the same size as Gryz. JK

 

[Sheppy]

Yeah and no one on Edmonton was willing to do anything about it.

I think Josh Brown will come calling in the second.

 

[nORRis8]

Evening all. What have I missed?

Oilers pressed he Bruins for the first bit, scored a goal eventually as everyone stood around with their head up their ass.
Zad went hard to the net. Bumped into Skinner and predictably got called for goalie interference.
Bruins killed it off.
Oilers kept pressing.
End of period.
Bruins outshot/outplayed.
Fans boo them off the ice.

 

[Blitzkrug]

1-0 feels like a miracle lmao.

Swayman has been sterling but ideally you don't let one of the best players on earth continually stand in front of him and/or the slot.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Passing percentage had to be 10% that period.
Team looks so bad. Needs a shakeup. Coach wasn’t the problem

Either make a trade or call up some kids for a bit.

 

[NeelyDan]

I think Josh Brown will come calling in the second.

Is he dressed? If so yeah he sorta has to

 

[The don godfather]

Are presidents of a nhl team allowed to go dressing room after a period and smash sticks?

 

[badbrewin]

Horrible. View attachment 957831

Looks like we could fit him into Tyler Johnson's old jersey
