I know you love him but he's an average player that's getting older and slower. He's less physical that he was before if that was even possible, can't win face offs and has been garbage on the pk, a supposed strengthYa think?
I love Charlie but except for his PP goal he has been terrible. IDK WTF is wrong with him but he's got to fix it and quickly.
#91 is guilty of being stronger than everyone else. Majority of his penalties are just him being that.Should have kept Danton. He was so versatile. He could play on any line without complaining.
Good points.
Got to try and stay out of the box. I know it isn't always possible but yikes.
#91 spends far too much time in the box.
maybe someone with more inside info than this couch potato can answer this. I always thought it was often the vet players themselves who dictated how often they will play in preseason? Understanding of course the coach and upper management might want a longer look at certain players too?Well I am so glad I went to bed instead of staying up to watch this shit show.
I agree with posters who said Monty botched the pre-season by playing too many non-starters too much instead of having the regulars out there developing their chemistry. They look terribly out of sync with one another like they've never played together before, which in truth they haven't.
However what's worse is the vibe I'm getting from them- they're not invested (with the exception of the fourth line). Lazy passes, stupid penalties, more turnovers than Pepperidge Farm, they play like they don't give a shit which is a mortal sin with me.
His stats are mediocre thus far meaning for his salary he should elevate a team if he's the guy. If any goalie would be the same why is 8 mill being paid. He cant complain for months about salary then say oh well not my fault when the games are playedThey would be 1-6 without Swayman and in contention for a top 5 pick. He's worth what he is getting paid
I don't want him to be Carlo, but he ends up in the box EVERY game. He needs to me smarter. I do like him and hope it works out.#91 is guilty of being stronger than everyone else. Majority of his penalties are just him being that.
Bruins fans want to turn him into Carlo
To be fair, we've been doomed ever since our roster didn't consist of like 18 CanadiansWhen we carry a fulltime Russian we are doomed.
The curse is real.
But they are not and if you look at the division everyone has similar records right nowThey should be 1 and 6 and 7 points behind first place
So and the bruins have a top goal scorer and better goalie than skinnerEdmonton has a generational talent + another top 5 player in the world, maybe even top 3.
I don't buy it because of the 4th line playing the way they are. We keep saying players get neutered when they come here, but Kastelic is doing just fine.The team is much bigger, which is great, but when they flat out refuse to forecheck (other than the 4th line) it's an issue. That's on the coach, straight up.
Right. I don't disagree - But why aren't they getting the message yet?I don't buy it because of the 4th line playing the way they are. We keep saying players get neutered when they come here, but Kastelic is doing just fine.
While I think coaching hasn't been great and can be a problem, it's on the players to have to want to forecheck and get physical. The goal was to get bigger, but when the players they get that are big can't do what they are expected to do all the while having holes in other areas of their game, we get the product we are currently seeing.
It's easy to point at standings and be like "It's not that bad"Not as bad as everyone thinks
My only guess is they don't have the willingness to do so. Some of these guys have played for two coaches while they have been a Bruin. I don't think a 3rd coach would change how they play all of a sudden.Right. I don't disagree - But why aren't they getting the message yet?
Beat me to it- it's actually a little surprising that they aren't 1-6 right now.It's easy to point at standings and be like "It's not that bad"
but when you watch the games and see how disjointed the team is...

I don't think Montgomery is a good coach but he has had just about every decision he has made this year bite him in the ass. Screaming at your captain on the bench is not a good look and probably an indication of him knowing he is on the firing line. Old rule of firing coach is easiest move over trading players does not bode well for him.I love how Monty pulled the goalie with 6 minutes left and Nashville scored within 3 seconds of it.
They'll reach and grab a guy all because he went to elementary school 10 mins from TD Garden.I'm glad we still have our first rounder this year, silver lining I guess
