Marchand scoring the EN...I almost fainted in disbelief. He did everything he could but eventually he couldn't find a way to fuck it up! |

The Grz hate is getting a little silly. He played the least of any Bruins D man. He was even on the night. They beat a heavy opponent that was missing key pieces fairly handily. He had as many hits as both Lindholm and McAvoy.
He's no one's secret weapon but he gets way too much hate for what he actually delivers.
Like JDB. He's "on pace" for 22-26-48. That would be two off his career high even after a very slow start. Close to .70 points/game since Dec 1st, and a point per game player since Christmas. People were shitting in his cornflakes before the holidays but now he's a key part of them dominating teams like the Avs and Jets.

Watched some of the Sportsnet post game and wow. Amber asked the question "do we need to give the first place Bruins more respect and the answers were about wanting to see them in the playoffs and a resounding maybe because they got older and slower.
Fekk eff. Show me the Jets playoff success. Or Vancouver's. But they have their tongue out to ball wash those teams. Just intolerable.

The score news headlines doesn’t even show the play for first overall games was won by the Bruins. Perry has a headline, Bergeron saying no has won. Wow |

All I know is this has been uttered now for a long time...over and over again..."The Bruins have 8 regulation losses."....and still again...and over and over again. Even during that "awful" road trip.

It was great to put 3 past Helly, another big win, Sway is Vezina worthy, JDB has been hot, JVR and Geekie solid, love having Forbort back, but i have one gripe, our PP sucks, two shots or less on a PP blows.

You may call it "hate". I wouldn't, because I know why I am relentless in posting my opinion about #48 (in which I am definitely not alone).
If the coaches and GMs involved in this were a little more reasonable and didn't stubbornly treat Grz like he's a good defenseman (which he definitely isn't - he's not even an NHL caliber defenseman, he's a below-average minor leaguer), I wouldn't even think about being so harsh.
"He was even on the night", okay, that wasn't too hard as the Jets only scored one goal.
But wasn't he supposed to provide assists and a few goals from the blue line, basically replacing the a million times more capable Torey Krug?
Graesslich has two goals and five assists this season, and he's +6 because he gets all the protection Montgomery can muster.
Why, FFS, why?
A much more talented kid like Mason Lohrei has to feel something stinks when he has to sit out games while #48 can commit all kinds of lousy mistakes without being called to the floor.
Sorry, I am an emotional guy, always have been. And I won't calm down about it. |

Sorry, I am an emotional guy, always have been. And I won't calm down about it. 100 Percent....there is an amazing double standard with Gryz that Reilly,Lohrei,Shatt,Wotherspoon, and others have had when it comes to mistakes...other guys can make poor plays and it results in benchings/H.S. but he makes one and it's perfectly okay. I think Gryz is not a bad d and he can skate, but he clearly has major protection when he's with 73 and 25. On other pairings he can be a disaster for his partner. |

Montgomery needs to stop this. It's obvious that there's a double standard, and that can have all kinds of bad consequences not just for the B's but also for Montgomery's career as a coach. |

judas priest!!! but i bet your halford he couldn’t stop a puck His real name is "Helmut", a typical German name. Another buddy of ours started to call him "Halford" because of Rob Halford, and it stuck. But I don't think his wife and his kids and grandkids call him "Halford".
He could skate (at least much better than me), don't know if he ever played hockey. But he was one of the finest soccer players I have ever played with before he basically destroyed one of his knees.
With a little luck he could have gone pro.

But the Bruins overall got younger with PB and DK leaving and younger guys coming in. But that's hard to get through a dummy's head. |

They're getting older? Their two oldest players retired last summer. Every team gets another year older, duh, like really , that's the best they can come up with? They're slow? They've beat some pretty so called fast teams Avs, Scabs, Wings, Devils, LeRfs, Bolts...where do they come up with this shit, maybe they should do their homework. They want to see them in the playoffs?! You can say that about any team, geezus, hopefully Sportsnet loses the hockey rights next bid but unfortunately i don't know who has the money to outbid them. They're horrible.
*by the way, out of curiosity who was on the panel along with Amber?

Fekk eff. Show me the Jets playoff success. Or Vancouver's. But they have their tongue out to ball wash those teams. Just intolerable. I agree book! I certainly was down on the B's play even when they were winning earlier in the year, but I certainly hope everyone can see the difference in their overall "team" game & how their winning now & not being so reliant on the guys between the pipes! Swayman & Ullmark are winning a lot now because the team in front of them not the other way around! They're still playing well for the most part. I think looking back at the beginning of the season maybe the team needed that adjustment of not having PB & DK in the lineup & realizing they're not coming back. New guys coming in to play prominent roles & it just took time for them to find their groove. I don't care what ANYONE says. This is a far different team than the one that was winning in Oct/Nov! As far as what the networks do? Isn't that what they ALWAYS do though? ESPECIALLY the Canadian ones when it comes to hockey? I mean "Canada's team" the Leafs are a complete mess, have been for a long time, but EVERY FUCKING year they're in the top 5 for betting on to win the cup! NOW- all they talk about is when Keefe is getting the axe (deservingly so) & that Treviling SUCKS (deservingly so). But with Winterpeg, Nuks & Oilers all playing so well they need someone to get the hard-on for right? I stopped listening/watching to Rogers & CBC since Nov,11 2020 & my hockey life is far better for it! There's seriously so many other places to watch games all need to do is invest in a VPN & find a way to get the channels you want to see & the people you like listening to. |

And McAvoy, Lindholm and Carlos did more to knock a player off the puck. Where as Grizz got credit for a hit by the Bruins score keeper. It was merely a bump. |

But it would be less of an issue if there wasn't a 6'5" phenom scoring OT winners in PRov instead of helping in the bigs. Wotherspoon ready too. We've seen enough of the Gryz playoff act. Most on the forum do not like Gryz primarily through his playoff performances. He generally plays with one of the top ten defensemen in the NHL, so, his plus/minus will be noticeable until those playoff games. As for JDB, most are tired of his inconsistencies. If he continues to score, well, his game is a keeper. His defense is so much better than a couple years ago. Why trade him if what the Bs get back is a scoring winger. JDB needs to be more consistent. His playoff record is good compared to Gryz. So the on board criticism is warranted. One thing I don't understand though is how JDB is excused for being late for work that pays him 4m. I guess hugs are better for the late 20s crowd. I guess I am jealous, I was use to a verbal compound fracture when I erred in those years. |

Grz' contract is up at the end of this season, and I have a feeling that Montgomery doesn't want to make the decision for Sweeney now. If Montgomery healthy scratches Grzelcyk regularly, Sweeney has no leg to stand on if he wants to re-sign #48 this summer. |

Even before he started tallying goals/points in the past month, his effort was good. People were still shitting on him but the effort has to come first, then the scoring will happen. As for Lohrei et al, yeah, the younger guys get less leash because they don't have a body of work to show that they "get it" and can overcome their giggles/brain farts. Poitras is a lucky outlier, because there's no option to send him to the A, so he gets to ride it out (or watch from the team box). |
