What

You know, easy come, easy go.

I thought it was like a pre-season game where the other team (Caps) brought all of their regular NHL team and the Bs had mostly try-outs.

Actually, the Bs played hard and it was a better game than I thought it would be.

Pasta never quit.

Second longest losing streak in franchise history is nuts. The injuries are making it worse than it is, but man it still ain't good.

Be nice to get an effort win or for sway to steal one here soon but I won't bet on it

 

[VTBruin37]

Was working my 2nd job, didn't get to watch. No new record for Ovi? I'll take it. Keep calm and tank on gentlemen.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Ok let’s just beat Montreal and call it a wrap.

 

[KrejciWinger]

Washington getting Jakob Chychrun for nothing was absolute theft. We'll be lucky if Lohrei turns into anything close to a 20 goal scorer...

Heard on 32 Thoughts (Elliot Freidman podcast)that Monty could get some consideration for the Adams Trophy.
I would think that would be hilarious!!!

Meanwhile I’m stuck with this:

 

[Boston Bandit]

Bruins have a 9 game losing streak and as of tonight, the Blues have a 10 game winning streak

All this losing has to be killing him! He's such a good guy and wants to win!

 

[Bruinaura]

I'm sure this season can't end fast enough for Pasta at this point

 

[Alan Ryan]

Can’t say I’m disappointed by the result, but what I did like was Swayman really battled in this game.

He made a lot of big saves and gave them a chance. I honestly thought he deserved the win over their goalie tonight. Just a huge gap in offense talent between the two teams. Thought Lysell should’ve played tonight.

If they really want to right this ship quickly in the coming seasons, Swayman has to be better. There’s no other option.

That’s the scary thing for me. Can Swayman get back to being a #1 goalie? I’ve been so surprised to see him whiff on shots he has a clear look at with no obstructions.

 

[McGarnagle]

This might be the most committed NHL tank in years. I fully approve

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

Perfect game.
Nice effort from several players to entertain the home crowd. Points for Pasta and Swayman not totally sucking but still a loss. Perfect. The tank is strong!

I believe with a better d core and a coach who gets them playing any kind of system again he can. It can honestly be as basic of improvement that he just gets back to .915 on the year… doesn’t need to be .925. Just start there haha.

If he doesn’t, it doesn’t matter what else they do.. they’re screwed.

I think we all have to understand this is not a one-year blip

Only Nash, Flames, and Sharks have scored few goals. Let's say SWay absolutely robs/steals 5 games.
We're going into Hab-land tied for the 8th seed with THIS lineup, with THIS prospect pool.

But sure Ovi standing alone with a tap-in needs to be stopped. Dowd's perfect snipe on 2 on 1, oh wait, lets talk his salary. Collosal defensive gaps take their toll. No SWay has not been Top 10. No goalie who ever played would be with this lineup. Look at Igor too. Terrible D-structure makes elite goalies look average. Ullmark terrible tonight ... outplayed by Reimer.

But sure lets embrace a future of the Korpi/Bussi tandumb.

A baker's dozen shorties given up for a shockingly pathetic PP. A shockingly pathetic PK. Both bad all season. THose, despite everything else, is the story of this pathetic season.

Hell, during the 4-Nations, how many here wanted Brady for Pasta straight up?

It was good to see Beecher with a pulse. Interested to see if Letteri becomes a 20-goal scorer somewhere else in the NHL. Veal parm with a gutsy scrap. Wow. Team played hard, it was good to watch for a while.

Bruins had atenções year too. Wait till next year when his system gets instilled.

 

[BruinDust]

Meanwhile I’m stuck with this:

I will not watch a Sacco-coached team if he's here next year.

And none of Letteri, Beecher, Koepke, Brown, Viel, Mitchell, Wotherspoon or Callahan belong in the NHL. That "rush" by Beecher last night was definitive John Beecher. Instead of trying something to create space like pulling up quick or cutting back towards the boards, he continues on straight to the net, looses the battle and turns the puck over behind the net without even getting a scoring chance. Zero, and I mean zero, hockey sense. Useless player once the puck is dropped.

Don Sweeney has a A LOT of work to do and frankly this can't be fixed in one off-season, especially not when considering this year's UFA class is doggy-poo.

who cares, monty can go pound sand

 

[Igor25]

Good effort, surprisingly strong second period, then the outcome that was expected. At least it was entertaining!

I shut it off after the shortie!

 

[Igor25]

Meanwhile I’m stuck with this:

Then he doesn't belong in the NHL.
