Ok, torch me but I'm going to defend Lohrei. The kid is 23. He's still developing his game. If the team didn't completely suck in basically all positions he'd be playing with the baby B's and getting a chance to work on his deficiencies. I don't think he looks very good at this point but look at it objectively based on age and lack of development. Let's face it, outside of Bob E, none of the coaches have impressed. Also, the vets have not lived up to expectations on offense or defense. If Lohrei's your whipping boy, fine, but don't discount the fact that he's 23 and has lived in this dysfunctional organization basically for all of two seasons.
 
Donny needs to swindle ep40 from Vancouver for any chance to salvage the season. Wont happen so maybe sell? You cant continue like this not scoring goals. I'm perplexed on why they cant score.

Depends on the era

Early Nickelback actually isn't half bad. Silver Side Up is a legitimately solid album.

They started to suck when they started to take themselves a bit too seriously when they started getting preachy in their music, starting with All the Right Reasons.

Beecher, Lohrei killing them.

Zacha too, keeps taking the puck on 3on2's and stickhandling himself into a corner.

First goal flowed from the power play clown show double drop pass to Pasta who cannot stick handle in traffic at all. Who dreamed that up? Double drop near the blue line entry to Mr. Turnover - yet another turnover. Guaranteed. How come that’s not on FanDuel?

Can we ever just criticize a player without someone saying we're just making him a "whipping boy?"
 
Not claiming Lohrei doesn't deserve any of the blame pie on either goal, but where is the rest of the team? No backcheck on the first goal - how does the PK player beat the other 4 Bruins down the ice to get the rebound?

On the second goal, he blocks all passing lanes and gives up short side - Swayman got beat with not much space available. I hate when defensemen skate backwards on a 2 on 1 and give up either short side or passing lanes - I'd prefer aggressive play, but that has never been how the Bruins defend that. We see that same play almost every game.
 
Can blame Lohrei all we want, but if we want the kids to play we got to live with the mistakes and learning curve.

First goal was on Swayman he was late getting in position, slow responding. Up until then he had played great.
 
It only figures Swayman finds his game (post Jets game he's slowly, but surely gotten into form) only for the rest of the team to shit the bed profusely.

He's been great tonight. He's started to do what people have been asking of him; Start justifying that 8+ million dollar cap hit by keeping them in/winning games they shouldn't.

Just a shame it takes 18 other guys to win a game.
 
I am once again begging you to please call up some players who are hungry.

I’m at the point where I feel like I’m being trolled having to watch Wahlstrom and Frederic just free skate out there.

But it wasn't a 2-1. He didn't block any passing lanes cause there was no one to pass to.

He's got to be better but those are the kind of lapses you knew to expect from a young defenseman in his second year of pro hockey.
