BRUINS GDT GAME 44 7:08 PM - @ Tampa Bay - NESN, ESPN+, 98.5 WBZ-FM ( NO LIVE THREAD TONIGHT)

12% PP, 17 PPGs, and now 6 SHGs allowed.

So if this is correct, there is a 25% chance that when a goal is scored on the BOSTON BRUINS POWER PLAY it will be the other team? 23 goals scored, 6 were against the Bruins.

Disgrace. Please, Kelly and company, you are done. Fired and can go to Providence. You cannot run a PP and the talent Sweeney has assembled there cannot either.
 
You gotta think the Jacobs family is looking at what's happening this season, how many awful long term deals this team has along with the worst prospect group in hockey, and they're going to give Sweeney an extension.
 
But literally no one is saying that. This GDT is full of posters ripping basically every player and all of management.
The team 100% deserves it to an extent.

Lohrei has sucked for most of the season, no one is going to deny that. At the same time people have to acknowledge in d-man years, he's still a pup at only 23 years old. The development of a d-man is rarely linear and you'll see bumps in the road as you progress. Doubly so given the rest of the defense also sucks. Like im down with maybe sitting him, but i am absolutely not down with just throwing him on waivers.

However, in the case of the veterans as far as i'm concerned, there is no such line. You are looked upon to lead this team both on and off the ice and the vast majority have been complete and utter dogshit. McAvoy isn't getting paid 9+ to suck, he's getting paid that to be a leader of a defense. Elias Lindholm was brought here to shore up their depth, not scuttle it. Coyle needs to pull his head out of his ass and actually play hockey.

To circle back to the quick nickelback tanget earlier music wise; This Bruins team is the hockey version of Metallica's St. Anger. Just replace the 60+ minutes of Lars Ulrich banging on trash cans with having to watch their "power" play "work."
 
I don't even know what the identity of the team is supposed to be

Offensive powerhouse? lol nope
Stifling defensive systems team? not possible with all these young guys
Hard to play against grit grapple grind? if that's what they're going for they've missed the mark pretty badly
Big and tough? big and slow maybe
Strong special teams and goaltending? please
 
I can't stress enough how f***ing stupid the neutral zone drop pass is in the PP. It's so easy to defend and generates nothing but turnovers.

Swayman has bailed this team out a lot through 2 periods, but we need a save on that 2nd goal.
The drop pass works awesome if the guy picking it up has speed, but we don't and can't pass to save our lives so!
 
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.
I still don't understand why Vancouver is consider shipping him out instead of Miller.

Miller already essentially forced Bo Horvat out of town when he won the schism in the locker room between the two. Why am i being gaslit into believing he's somehow not the issue when it happens again?
