Freddy looked like Year One and Two Freddy on that last rush before the horn in bringing the puck over LA's blueline before fanning and falling on the shot. He's not the same player, though. redemption |

Brandon Carlo with the vigorous exception to Dubois' presence around the crease.

Everyone has a bad game. Today its his turn True. I'm not slagging him off. It was that one sequence that made me think of his former self. Bad game. Geekie. Brutal |

This is what's known as a tailspin.
When Kings got it to one you could feel it slipping away.
on a side note, I've seen just about enough of Kevin Shattenkirk.

Man they really suck right now. But I suppose I'd rather endure a shitty February than an historically catastrophic April.

Sorry guys - but this scenario is waaaaay too familiar (stop me if you've heard this before). Bruins build a lead (with great records winning when scoring first and when leading after 1st & 2nd periods) and manage to fritter it away by being soft on the puck and not taking advantage of their chances (penalties & opportunities)...then the other team pulls their goalie, receives an iffy holding call (when the King was chicken winging the Bruins's stick), Bruins Dman(Forbort) gets the puck all alone facing the boards...instead of turning to his forehand and picking a spot to get to the neutral zone (or heaven forbid shoot at the gaping empty net), he weakly backhands it to the point where the Kings guy shoots a floater to a wide open Kopitar in front of Ullmark for the nice tip. On to OT, the Bruins are gifted a full 2 minute PP where their urgency to funnel the puck to the net at every chance is non-existent, and proceed to piss away the chances by keeping the puck on the periphery for practically the whole Pp...only to have the Kings handed a prime time chance with the recently freed penalized player. Of course he buries it, the ABC guys go nuts, the crowd is disgruntled(& bewildered) & the Bruins definitely earn the loser point.
Meanwhile, I see a graphic on ABC that says the Bruins are 2nd to Edmonton as Cup favorites at 8:1....somehow.
Dallas is next - let's see if this team can somehow salvage something positive from this terrible home stand.

When they were on that 5-1 run just before the AllStar break I thought maybe they'll get in for sure, but NOPE! Now that Sway & Ully are both not playing that great? They're not in yet! Even if they do get in? To quote Darrel Sutter from a few yrs ago in Calgary. "It's gonna a be quick 8 days!"

Edmonton’s a cup favourite only if they’re allowed at least a couple of goals against per game to be called mulligans…. |

I watched the 3rd period and OT and I’m sorry I did. Brutal loss. As soon as the Bruins got the power play in OT I said if they don’t score LA will and they did.

That's exactly where this team is heading! Bring on July 1st! Oh wait that's the day the B's give players like Grizz another 5 yr deal! |

Wasn't there an order put in before the season started for the B's to have some adversity? Well? I see this recent slump as a positive, not a negative. At the end of today's games the B's will be 2nd in the East. I couldn't care less if they fall to 3rd in the division, start on the road, who really cares. I will be glad to see them hit the road for their trip through western Canada, if that won't wake you up nothing will. Wait and see, they will turn it around.

Essentially the home stand slump is a learning experience! I tend to look at Florida last year as a motivation, they barely made the playoffs. I’ve also come to the conclusion that the course of action is status quo on the roster. Maybe a small addition. The beginning of the year was not a fluke. Most should look at Vegas schedule this year as an example of up and down play. |

Bottom line is I'm guilty of being a really spoiled Bruin fan. Just gotta keep the faith and hope Monty & Co can start to play pre All Star quality hockey |

Stop me if you've heard this before, but who cares if they lost again. They can lose the next 10 for all I care and still be able to turn it around in the playoffs.
I was happy to see Freddy score and get ornery. He needs to be a factor this post season and not eating popcorn again.

I don't consider myself a "glass half-empty guy", but I think some of you ("I see the slump as learning experience" or "as a positive") are, with all due respect, completely nuts. Of course with Dr. Evil and his constant display of incompetence behind the bench the glass can only be completely empty (pun intended) for me. They need to fire Morontgomery asap, but that of course won't happen. |

Sometimes I want the B's to turn down the PP...but yeah, I feel like who gives a shit right now...they make the playoffs and really who are they going to face that is so "scary" and "intimidating" that a few good goalie performances, puck luck and wins doesn't cure all...For the record, the Kings have always had this type of game v. the B's...always score late in the 3rd, always score in OT...always seem to have the B's number...Yet the B's own the Kings at Crypto last several years...shitty finish, got a point. |
