Bruins need to move the morning skate to TD Garden instead of Warrior especially during the playoffs.

Toronto skated at TD Garden on Tuesday and could see the ice was going to be bad - The Bruins used their practice facility.

They have now lost five of their last 6 home playoff games ( all in Round 1 )

I have no idea if doing this would improve their play at home but it certainly can't make things any worse. :banghead:




Tuesday, April 30 (Warrior Ice Arena | TD Garden)

- Morning skate, 11 a.m. (Warrior Ice Arena)

- Head Coach Jim Montgomery and select players available to media following morning skate

- Game vs. Toronto Maple Leafs, 7 p.m. (TD Garden | TV: NESN, ESPN | Radio: 98.5)

- Head Coach Jim Montgomery and select players available to media following the game

They have to mitigate the poor ice with simplifying their game. Soft, crappy ice feeds into just playing heavy forecheck, straight line hockey and lots of shots on net. It's basically what other teams use to defeat the Bruins on home ice.

This team just wants to play its tick-tack-toe east-west game looking for the perfect shot and that gets harder when the ice is garbage.

I say again, what can we do as fans to make it happen? Do we need to tweet at the bruins and call their office repeatedly this week to get them to change it for a potential game 7 and beyond?

All the revenue from tickets and a huge fan base and they have some of the worst ice in the league. It’s embarrassing.

The amount of whiffed shot/passes and wipe outs by players last night was absurd

Now they can play grab ass at the morning skate and more easily account for where Pastrnak will be most likely to eat shit with no contact. Spoiler alert, it's every where.

They lose because they play with the effort and sacrifice of a September Black and Gold exhibition game not because of the ice.

The Bruins stayed in Toronto last night as they had to find another plane.


A similar thing happened after game 6 in 2013, which was notable in that the NHL scheduled a back-to-back for games 6 and 7 so they flew to Boston on the day of a game.
