it pissed me off to no end when he didnt slow the pace and create a 2 on 1 in the second period. Any smart player wouldve done that. Instead he tried taking it to the net and he is just not good enough to do that
I don't think Beecher even realized that Lindholm was trailing the play and would've had a great scoring chance if he gets the puck to him

..how Beecher did not see him is a head scratcher, but shows why he only has 9 points in 54 games

very brilliant playing kuhlman in a game 7 over backes.
He also messed with the defense for that game 7.


carlo is just brutal. the guy is a turnover machine. gave nyr that first goal.
Carlo still hasn't learned to take a hit on the boards in that situation. Lots of dmen leave the ice with their skates to become dead weight, maintain their balance and absorb the hit without getting drilled on the glass.
 
The Lucic play was much more egregious than what Marchand did and I really never understood why it was looked at as such a chest-pounding moment for so many Bruins fans. A big guy ran into an unsuspecting goalie. I mean...it was kind of funny. And I certainly enjoyed Lucic beating up Gaustad when he was challenged however many games later. But I didn't feel any sort of "pride" as a fan given what transpired when he collided with Miller.
Agreed, the notion Lucic "broke" the Sabres is completely laughable. Several Buffalo GM and coaches "broke" the Sabres.

Beecher can skate and decent in dot.Expecting anything else from him is recipe for disappointment
 
I don't think ownership has forgiven Marchand's mistake in Game 7 of the SCF in 2019.



You had to be inside TD Garden to understand how deflating that second St. Louis goal was. @Ladyfan @Kate08 can tell you the crowd became scared and it affected the team.

Worst line change ever. Completely baffling.

Poster child for why trading for picks and prospects is a crap shoot.

As I said when Cassidy left:
 
One thing I'm noticing more about Marchand lately, and this isn't exactly the worst thing in the world is the fact that he's losing his mind after basically every penalty he takes, 80% of which are warranted penalties.

I know we've discussed the interference penalty he took quite a bit, but immediately after NY scored he lost it and went right at the officials. Right there he was lucky he didn't get another 2 minute penalty or a misconduct, I've seen it happen a ton when players go apeshit like that.

A few weeks ago he slapped the arm of an official away as he was being restrained from a scrum.

I just think he's feeling the pressure as the captain.
These things are happening escuse he’s trying to motivate these slouches. He knows what it takes and they aren’t responding night after night. There is only so much he can do.
 
In Bruce Cassidy's defense, after Boston fired him, Patrice Bergeron gave Cassidy a ringing endorsement, telling Mark Stone they'd win the Stanley Cup if they hired him. By some accounts, this even factored in Vegas hiring him.
 
Bruins notebook: B’s have orders to shoot the puck more

When the Bruins suffer offense outages, it is often because they don’t do the simplest of things – shoot the puck.

That’s something coach Joe Sacco wants to see more of so the B’s can go into the two-week break feeling good about themselves.

“We’re deferring too much, at times,” said Sacco. “I go back to last game, we had some time in the offensive zone. I give the Rangers some credit. They did a good job defensively. But on the flipside we didn’t do a good enough job playing off the shot. I thought we over-passed sometimes when we could have gotten pucks to the net with two on the inside. For our group, it’s a constant reminder about how we have to play offensively. A little more shot volume. We did that earlier on. I think get away from it sometimes and that’s when we don’t generate enough offense. And our power play. Our power play had been going OK for a little while but last game it didn’t do as well. And that’s an opportunity for us, especially our top guys. When they’re moving the puck well on the power play, they’re building confidence, on 5-on-5, too. But like I said, it’s little bit more of a shot mindset, playing off the shot, looking for rebounds, two-for-one opportunities. That’s how we’re going to generate more offense for this group.”

Time to start acquiring guys who want to shoot because this constant plea stuff for them to shoot under different coaches is not working.
 
Beecher is a late round pick that somehow got taken in the first round.

I know drafting is far from a science but how does a guy with that much of a negative in the offensive column go that high? Hands of stone killed many a kids i grew up with dreams of playing anything beyond bantam, yet it somehow didn't for Beecher?
It's a bad habit of "you know who."
