The main concern for me is that I don't feel the team truly hates nights like these. That being said, there are too many anchors on this team.

The lack of speed and toughness is truly exposed against teams like Boston and Vegas who play a simple game of just winning every inch of ice and making you suffer for it.
I saw no emotional response from anybody out there. Just died quietly. Not a good sign imo.

Agreed, they're not the Big Bad Bruins anymore. The thing that impresses me the most is how composed they are and how they finish their checks. We should be able to match them physically. Unfortunately we didn't this game.
Didn't want any kind of physical play
And.seemd like coach didn't eitheall he has to do is tell his players to play physical and quit standing around watching

Exactly!

To be no contact team let opponents go where ever they want
And not seem to mind??
Sounds like a bad rebuild

That would be a very strange way to evaluate the quality of a rebuild (that isn't even 2 years old yet).

What's Bob Hartley doing these days? Martin seems like a hell of a guy and was a great hockey player,but there seems to be a relaxed country club atmosphere around the team.He was recruited from coaching timbits hockey. Need some intensity and experience behind that bench.These no show games are inexcusable.

A bit of a setup game, Bruins with several days rest, a bunch of their legends in house and the memory of last Saturday in their minds. Still would have liked to see more pushback from the team.

I feel for Marty St Louis, he has to face the media almost every day. Where is his support from up top with their comments/wisdom?

Another top 5 pick coming our way. Two more seasons of being bad then we should see improvement. Maybe aim for the playoffs in 3 years. Its a long process but it was much needed, a full rebuild. Im very impress by the improvement showed by Barron. Hes obviously not ready to play on the first pair at only 21 years old but he is showing some promise.

I honestly didn't think we were this bad. Wow
I don't think we're quite as bad as what we've shown tonight. It pains me to say it, but the Bruins are this good. Something I never thought would happen after their off season losses. I've also become a big fan of Swayman. Plus Marchand has done a great job as Captain. Now I have to go wash my fingers. Since typing that, made me feel dirty lol
