Another Lohrei turnover, c'mon Mason. Add another one — that’s 4 unforced blunders. He needs to get into the locker and regroup or get the team hypnotist in there stat. Yep, he'll get taken to school in the playoffs for sure, but he's a rookie so understandable. I'm hoping Sweeney brings in a couple Dmen, one for sure is needed.

So i have to get this straight, B's have the worst coach in the league,....the stupidest lineup choices,.....the laziest superstars,......absolutely no depth, one 1st line and two 3rd lines and one 4th line,......a bunch of bums from Providence and they're tied for 1st overall in league standings with just over 20 games to go. Did i miss anything? Imagine if the Bruins knew what they were doing!! No amount of lipstick you put on this pig will make her pretty.

I'd like to quote the immortal Herb Brooks (at least according to the movie "Miracle") to Pan Pastrnak: "You don't have the talent to win on talent alone."
Are you sure?!? Absolutely. And you know what: I'd trade him for a couple of lesser guys in a heartbeat - some 30 goal guys who will play a 200-foot game.

***Mason with brick hands tonight; worst performance by a Bruin dman in quite some time. Even Brickley let out an audible gasp on one of his gaffes.
***Geekie literally stick handled it into the net and somehow got called for goalie interference. That is really fuckin hard to do and one of the worst calls I have seen on a legit goal in a long time.
***Pasta continues to mess with my head. I officially have a love-hate relationship with the guy. Tonight was love as they don't get any points without him.
***Would love to see more Boqvist and Richard on 3-on-3. These guys can fly. Give one less shift to Pasta in OT (his shifts are way too long in 3 v 3 and he really gets exposed defensively with all the open ice) and let Heinen ride Pinein.
***Ullmark with a gift that keeps on giving allowing Eberle to score his 200th goal against the Bruins.
***It feels weird that the Bruins did not lose a game on the entire road trip, but yet, it somehow feels deflating.
***The Bruins would be on the bubble for playoffs if there was no loser points. If this trend continues they will need lots of lucky bounces come playoffs if they keep getting to overtime.
***Not having Hampus hurts. Say what you want, but the guy is steady as they come.
***While I want the Bs to get a better Top 6 center, I would entertain a trade for another D-man if they don't do the center upgrade. Is it possible to add Hanafin for the remainder and then sign him for next year using the money coming off the books for Jake and Linus/JSway? Just go with the stacked D approach since you got the goaltending.

(The situation room in Toronto must have been supported tonight by their special guest Eddie Vedder...) Ullmark is so goofy, he will definitely never win a playoff series. They should get rid of him, not Swayman.
Fixed it for you.

Guru Bauer has been worse than shit ever since he signed his retirement deal with the Kraken in 2021. (Words to the wise: never ever give a German a long term deal after he turned 30 - they love their "job security", but lose all motivation after signing. It's in their blood. Seids might be the lone exception to the rule.) Now he has suddenly played a few decent games in a row, and everybody's falling over themselves to praise him as the next Ken Dryden?

From nhl.com:
Okay, 38 minus 11 equals 26. You'll live and learn...
This kind of math is just as impressive as the situation room's handle on the rule book.

No amount of lipstick you put on this pig will make her pretty. 💯 You are what your record says you are. The issue here is people wanting to kill them in the playoffs now rather than play the games. If every team that goes into dog says were disqualified from the playoffs, no playoffs would be necessary. They have their issues, but they sound a lot like 2010-11 when people still thought you couldn't win without a Savard like number one C who scores a point/game.

Just go with the stacked D approach since you got the goaltending. Calgary winters have softened Hanifin and apparently he’s eyeing going as down south as possible…. Any available cap room come July needs to be spent mainly on upgrading the offense whether through trade or free agency….

The fait accompli is accepting. Human beings as a whole react to negative rather than positive. The forum is prime evidence. I still have my doubts about Monty.

Did i miss anything? Imagine if the Bruins knew what they were doing!! No amount of lipstick you put on this pig will make her pretty. I have no idea what you were expecting from this team before the season started. Lots of talking heads had them DNQ or fighting for a WC, maybe even a lottery team. I can understand that with the players they lost and the B's cap issues, i thought myself that they would most likely be battling for a WC. I don't know what has changed that has made fans think things should be any different but they are. I have said from the start that they as constituted won't win the Presidents trophy and won't win the Cup, but hey, get in and you never know and guess what, they will get in. In the end though i find all the caterwaulng a bit humorous when taking into consideration the teams expectations going into the season. If fans want to call it lucky, smoke and mirrors or only the goaltending then so be it, not my job to change anyone's mind. If a Cup wasn't the expected goal going into the season, what's the big deal then ? If this was supposed to be a bridge year until some contracts come off the books and some cap space is opened up, then for a bridge year things haven't gone too bad. I think for a smoke and mirrors team 1st OA isn't bad all things considered, especially since expectations were so low.

Sure, as i've said Monty isn't above criticism and he's on the 2nd year of a 3 year contract. If Sweeney doesn't like what he see's going forward or want's a change in direction i don't think he will hesitate to bring a new guy in.

They have their issues, but they sound a lot like 2010-11 when people still thought you couldn't win without a Savard like number one C who scores a point/game. Ummm not necessarily! Their record since last year in the playoffs is the inability to close out games UNLESS in most cases their goalies steal the game for them & that hasn't happened much since the New Year kicked in. BOTH goalies have been leaky, gaffs & no where NEAR what they were from Oct-Dec! Which again comes back to what Steve & I have been saying all season! They rely too much on their goaltending & if they don't get an awesome performance in 90% of their games they don't win! If you can't have your goalies have the odd off night & help them out more often than not? There's few teams that will succeed. So when they're having more off games then great games? That puts even more pressure on them not to fuck up! The # of quality scoring chances they give up hasn't changed. Just the # of times their goalies bailing them out has.

However... 40 goal guys like him don't come along often. Take the good with the bad I guess. Another "but..." Fuck, he can be so frustrating to watch. Dumb drop passes to no one in particular. Cross-seam passes that don't exist. No hustle back to take his man. All while having this dumb smile on his face like "every-ting fine, man". If he tightens up in the playoffs, I can live with it.

Who gives a shit how he reacts or how he looks, the guy is an elite scorer, HAS FUCKING CARRIED THIS TEAM OFFENSIVELY...WHEN IS ANOTHER FORWARD GONNA FUCKING SCORE IN OT EVER OTHER THAN HIM (63 once in a blue moon)...HIS 85 POINTS IS #4 IN THE NHL...HE HAS 60 FUCKING POINTS IN 34 WINS--AND HE STILL IS A POINT A GAME WHEN THEY LOSE!!!...JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, STOP THE FUCKING 88 BASHING...UNBELIEVABLE....WHEN IS 74 GONNA SCORE WHEN IT COUNTS? WHEN IS 18?
