Post-Game Talk: GAME 59 - B's let a valuable point slip away

[Aussie Bruin]

I don't blame Swayman for the loss, not for his efforts in the regulation 60 nor in the fact that he got deeked out of his boots by one of the best players in the league in OT. I thought he was overall ok and the worst lapses were elsewhere.

But that's the problem. He was just ok. Just as he's been maybe slightly above 'ok' since he picked up his performance from the doldrums post-Christmas. And for a guy on over $8m with lots of term, having been almost a holdout, that's not really good enough, it's a problem, and you're going to get heat for it.

I really don't see him being traded. The Bruins do that and they're essentially committing to a full rebuild. But he has to be better. He's talked big, but that's the easy part. As such can only really hope that he eventually backs it up.

Letting Marner just skate by you like that is indefensible. My blood is boiling hotter than a fish fry right now.

I’m numb to it at this point.

 

[KrejciWinger]

The amount of games they've lost with Pastrnak's 2025 point production is comical

That was my breaking point with Swayman i think.

I've been a bit less harsh on him as a lot of folks here because truth be told, the team in front of him does suck and missing camp like he did tends to have a negative effect. But tonight? Absolutely no excuses.

The Bruins dogwalked the Leafs all night and f***ing moneybags over there lets them right back into the game. Pasta says i got this, then he does it again.

The OT goal was so, so bad. Marner is dangerous up close to be sure but you were on your stomach before he even made a move. Literally what the f*** are you doing?

The Bruins were turning pucks over the entire game with wide open lanes to get it out.And anytime a breakaway happens you can't fault the goalie.Jesus, he stopped a 2 on 0 earlier.You want to blame somebody blame the captain.He made a bone head play up 2 goals shorthanded to get Leafs feeling it.This teams is loaded with AHL fodder to boot.

 

[BTO]

Good win. Oh, wait.

 

[nORRis8]

Getting just enough points to kill the pick .. Outside going to watch Pastrnak they should be paying fans to watch

He's actually underpaid!!! Like seriously.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Feel bad for Pastrnak as he has been in God mode the last 2 months carrying this team on his back. Swayman once again not up to the task and the makeshift D is just not good enough. Everyone should be available for trade except for Pastrnak and McAvoy.

Wahlstrom with another lovely showing…..

 

[mar2kbos]

Sweeney better at least trade his UFAs, and if Marchand doesn’t have a small term contract by deadline he has to go to. He keeps any of his UFAs he needs to be fired into the sun

 

[Gordoff]

I console myself by thinking of the better draft pick we're going to get. I've got nothing else!

 

[I am Bettman]

Thanks to the leafs for fueling the Bruins tank, Michael Misa get ready to be a Bruin.

He gave up weak goals while Stolarz made multiple ten bell saves to keep that game from getting truly out of hand.

Unacceptable.

 

[Sheppy]

Again, treat it like a comedy.

This team right now is one, big, hilarious joke.

It’s a 1 man team.

We also have a goaltender that robbed this team blind.

 

[NeelyDan]

This is why you don’t pay big bucks for goalies. They really are only as good as the defense in front of them 90% of time.

Yeah this can be valid for sure

 

[mar2kbos]

Wahlstrom with another lovely showing…..

He needs to be a minor league lifer. He has nothing at all

 

[NeelyOrr]

Been saying it for months: objectively this is a very funny hockey team.

Yup, they're the Carrot Top of hockey.
Anyone who was surprised the B's gave up the tying goal with the opposition's goalie pulled hasn't watched enough B's games.

 

[The National]

No way anyone is still considering buying at the deadline

 

[22Brad Park]

Unacceptable.

Weak goals ? You mean the Holmstrom goal to tie it after Bruins could not get puck out 10 thousand times.

 

[Sheppy]

How many games has Jeremy Swayman been outplayed by the other teams goaltenders this year? I’m thinking… a lot?

The GM can’t draft and sucks at signing players. Logic would say, move on from Sweeney/Neely. They won’t. We’ll still be here in 3 years talking about having a prospect pool in the bottom third of the league. 10 years of Don is a big enough sample size to say he can’t draft.

Rangers: instructions unclear, gave bank vault to goalie

 

[Blowfish]

3:25 mark ... enjoy

 

[Lord Ahriman]

I don't care how much it's gonna cost, but I'd buy Swayman's ass out of here.

Idk how Lysell can be worse then that performance
