Bruins will win game 7. They are a far better team than Florida by miles. Goal tending has let them down. Got skinned on the hand pass call. They proved the can beat Bobrovsky. Just need to someone to knock diver Tkachuk on his ass a couple of times and ring his bell. Monty and the powers that be have some decisions to make. It's all on them going into game 7. Go Bruins!
Goaltending and total lack of any kind of defensive play and not just on the Defenceman.

Teams that get upset in the first round are usually pulling up and not playing 100% against their opponents because:
1. they don't want to risk injury
B. they don't want to tire themselves out in the first round

then they get behind the 8-ball and panic
upset

time to reset the teams thinking and become the team they need to be to win the cup this year. We have yet to see that team.

If the B's can do it to the Canadians in game 7 in the 2011 first round than so can we.

Lindholm’s play has caught me off guard. He was a stud all season long. So far in playoffs he’s looked no better than Mike Reilly would. Complete disappointment
Something is wrong physically I think. I think some are hurt. That’s what happens when you take hits instead of dishing. Where’s all the aggressive stuff from the guys you excpected it from. Only one hitting was Mac.

I have trust that Neely and Sweeney aren't going to let Monty make the personnel decisions for game 7. They have far too much invested in this to let the ship go down with a coach who has got just about everything wrong in this series when it comes to deployment of personnel. No guarantees with any moves but it's clearly evident that Ullmark is broke and absolutely can't start game 7.

I doubt that. I’m sure they’ll be around. That decision is on the coach.

I think the decisions have been by committee all year. Some of the comments Monty has made throughout the year leads me to believe this

It’ll be his because he will be the one thrown to the wolves.

If this was a senior coach who was highly respected around the league, I would agree with you. In Monty's case he had to be thrilled that someone gave him a 2nd chance as a HC in the NHL, he will be deferring to his bosses. Sweeney built this team and has sacrificed a lot of the Bruins future for it, no way he lets it go up in smoke without getting his guys in for game 7.

Road Teams this postseason our now

27-17

Unbelievable
The regular season is a joke in this league. You just need to get it to the playoffs it’s always been the case. I think it’s the core of this team the leaders can’t will this team to victory. They’ve tried but the rest can’t follow.

I won’t make any more predictions. I’m often wrong and can’t risk going the “jinx” route.

Few thoughts:
1) Last nights game was a debacle, but to be honest at least it was an exciting debacle.
2) Have to go with Sway in Game 7.
3) Forbert/Cliffey (who I both like) cannot be on ice together. Gotta be Gryz playing.

Here’s two questions I have to ponder. A great deal of our success this season has been due to Montgomery’s use of D in the Ozone. We’ve had stellar tending in RS. So my question:

1) Was our defense this unorganized and error prone in our Dzone much of the season, but just covered up by our outstanding goaltending?

2) Is this an anomaly or a system problem covered up, again, by stellar RS tending?

Regardless. Go B’s.

Play Swayman and ffs stop playing scared.

Play in the moment and think about how you pulled together this season when we were down 3 guys. You played as a f***ing team.

I don’t know why they reverted to last year’s team but it is infuriating.

I have homework to do so I’ll probably just follow along here. It worked in 2013.

Sorry but their piss poor play has soured me on the team and I don’t think I will ever look at them the same.

If these guys are reading this stop playing scared. Simplify your game. Play as a team. Don’t think about the future. Stay in the present. You can beat these guys. You need to believe in yourselves like your fans have since October. Play a full 60 minute game. Start on time.
