Right now they aren’t playing like a team who’s going to be anything more then a team battling for a lower playoff spot
Be ironic if they got bigger for the playoffs and didn’t make
It’s pretty easy
1. Start playing better and with urgency and get on a roll
2. If not Coach goes
3. If new voice doesn’t work it’s probably a busy offseason

Tortorella may be just what this roster needs, if veterans can handle his style.
Rotting with the awful Flyers. A coach who would drive a physical, forechecking, effort first system and allow for toughness. Short term investment for long term gain, this team lacks identity in a way it has not in a long time.

I hear ya there and I'm also Leary. He's big and plays a shutdown role. Just want to see Johnson and Lysell before they do anything crazy
For sure, game 20 they can start to be crazy, I'm not a Monty hater but I'd start there simply because he's without a contract and it's easier to replace him than to trade a guy like Carlo and which just creates a new hole.

It's so weird to be at the bottom of the spectrum of what fans expect from/think of this team while also thinking everyone is overreacting.
Like, after seven games a lot of my fears have been on full display, but it's still only seven games so we don't actually know anything yet.

I was thinking the same thing after I saw Philly lose another game tonight
Torts might be just what the doctor ordered to light a fire under this team's ass.. but would the B's hire Torts??
..maybe they're waiting for Philly to fire him before they oust Monty

It's kinda weird. This is the Bruins team I expected last year. Losing Krejci and Bergeron I was like "okay, the glory days are over but there's enough guts left where they can grind out a wild card spot"
They decidedly did better through the power of losing 257 games in overtime.
This year I come in with still relatively tempered expectations. "Okay well they got better on paper so they should be at least top 3 in the division"
Annnd they look like total trash to start. No scoring to speak of and that advantage they had of starting either of their goalies and feeling really good about winning is now gone.
I think we'll get a better idea of what these team looks like against two of the leagues better teams in the Stars and Leafs (yeah yeah I know lol leafs, but they matter until the calendar turns to April)

yeah not at all sure myself but I`m almost certain I heard on a broadcast, not even sure it was for a B`s game that the vets pretty much tell the coaches how many games they feel they`ll need to be ready and they go from there but I`ve been wrong a million times before so who knows
one of the most overrated coaches out there, he`d lose the room in a week
Sure, but then you play a high-intensity, dump and chase, heavy forechecking game, with, you know, bodies and pucks to the net, and get greasy goals. Was working perfectly fine for the 4th line. You have 4 lines doing that (not saying they have the guys to do that on 4 lines) and you have the Florida Panthers. I thought that was the point this year.

I'd say you have the Florida Panthers if you have 8 offensively skilled Fs like Barkov, Tkachuk, Verhaeghe, Reinhart, Lundell, Bennett, Tarasenko and Rodrigues. The B's have Pasta and Lindholm and kinda maybe Marchand at this point.
The other elephant in the room is that if you want to have a heavy forecheck, sending 2 Fs in deep then that's exposing the D which has been underperforming at a huge level. Not sure if not using Fs to play back in the neutral zone and help out on D is a great solution. Just opens up another problem.

It is not the wins and losses; it is how they are playing and that is not good, not pretty at all. If this team was winning, there would great concern the way they are playing.
All the players would have Bergey on speed dial, and he would have to make a call to management that he is too tough to play for and he is a meanie. Krecji will threaten to take the year off unless he is fired, oh !!! wait he is already gone.
They’re not all super high-skilled. Sam Bennett, for example, had 40 pts last year. Charlie Coyle worked half as hard as Bennett does he’d have 100 (not really). Tkachuk and Barkov had goal totals in the 20s. You know the line “you make your own luck” Sometimes you make your own skill too.
