Post-Game Talk: GAME 72 - Down and Out in Beverly Hills - Los Angeles 7 BRUINS 2

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I don’t know why people are so upset with what’s happening, they’re absolutely nailing this. Look no further than not challenging obvious offside calls the last two games. Funny that a lot of the posters who are pissed off are the same ones who have been calling for a full tear down - this is what you’d get for 4-5 years lol.

Not challenging that offsides had to be a clear message to the locker room that this season is toast. Why would any players try to get up for any game at this point?

Collect your checks and see you in September. To state the obvious. if they don't have a good 2 months to start the season next year we could be looking at a long rebuild here..

Folks relax. Double up on meds if watching the Bruins

This is a 30 day tank to get Desnoyers or Frondell or McQueen etc

Celtics did it, Red Sox did it, Patriots did it ….teams do it

It will be over in 3 weeks and we will know our pick

I suggest not watching and pretending their is honor in this shit

It’s all about the best opportunity to get a high pick
Definitely about getting best pick possible but boy o boy the Bruins upper management has been exposed.They have alot of work ahead of them in order to get the fans behind them again.This is one heck of a bad job.

I think Zadorov should keep his yap shut quite frankly if he's got nothing good to say about his own teammate to the media. Once again, what does Zadorov have to be pissed at Swayman about? Zadorov got paid too. The Russian turnover machine leading the D-corps in giveaways.
Yea and Jeannot right in Peekes face and he never cared.I expect alot more meanness then he plays with.Hoping next season he shows up.

🤯 The fact that this is even possible is insane.

I never thought we'd have a repeat like the purgatory that was the Dave Lewis era, but here we are.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. From last year to whatever the heck this team and organization is. Disgusting



There were 7 teams worse than the Dave Lewis Bruins in 2006-07. Currently 7 teams worse than the Bruins of today. It's hardly insane to think a team could be in that spot twice over 25 years.
 
They are now what I thought they would've been last season. If anything, they over achieved last yr and won a round.

This season has felt funky since the start. It's been a solid 15 yr or so run, but that couldnt last forever. We fall back, regroup and spring forward in time. Rather that than be mired in purgatory.
Agreed that a rebuild was coming and the writing was on the wall.

However; that makes it even more frustrating that we crippled ourselves with horrible long term contracts to Swayman, Lindholm and Zadorov right as it was starting.
 
Zadorov is probably pissed that Swayman is allowing goals like a 5'7'', 135 pound goalie in 1985.
Team lacks leadership after trading Marchand. Shit like this was always a worry. Pasta was championing the leader role, but I haven't heard or seen much from him over the weekend. Hopefully he hasn’t just completely thrown in the towel.

Someone needs to step up and get personalities in order.

He's playing on the top pair, has 7 fighting majors good for 6th in the league I believe. 183 hits (4th in the NHL on defense) - I can't be too upset with the "meanness" from him because he's constantly the guy who's stepping up in that regard. He's fought the best fighter in the NHL, too.

After Pasta (who IMO is a leader) there aren't many. Pasta is pretty much alone, and I am not sure how much help the coaches are right now either.

Gone are the days with Z, Bergy, DK, Rex, Brad, Looch, S. Thornton. Kelly, Seids, Ference... That was a team with many leaders without letters and strong coaching.

I hope they can sort everything out by next season. Getting Hampus and Mac back will certainly help.

It just feels like they're counting the days to go home at this point.

I'm probably wrong, but I still feel like not challenging that offsides was so demotivating to everyone in that locker room. A powerful message in a bad way... Why try to win if your own coaching staff doesn't want too?
 
This team is not set up to win. There are some good players but far too many holes and management know it and gave up when they dumped all of those players.

It feels like just a bunch of players thrown on the ice to get through the season. It has been years since it was this bad.

Get Mac and Hampus back...try and get Brad. Patch up the holes after the season.

Get Sway with goalie Bob.

Figure out who can help with leadership. I mean can't they find one player to sew an "A" on...beside Pasta?...if not that is pathetic. From where we sit, I am not seeing ANY leaders other than Pasta. It is weird.

The coaches need to be looked at and some changes need to be made.

We know this season is toast.

I think the team will be much improved by the Fall.

I consider the last 4 home games I go to as auditions for the players....just like pre-season games.

It isn't fun now, but I really believe within a couple of seasons the Bs will be good again. :crossfing
 
I think this goes beyond money. There is something seriously wrong between Swayman and the team. I think it’s beyond his holdout. Be it attitude. Be it taking responsibility. I don’t know. But there is a clear divide between him and the team.
He should be in Providence. Hell ECHL at this point. He wanted to set a goalie market and his play is garbage.
