Unless it's the Stanley Cup finals, that's the last Bruins home game I'm watching vs. the Colorado Avalanche.

20 years, unbelievable.

Turn the page on that one.

At least Rask stunk on a night there was no goal support. Would have lost anyways.

 

[bolt thrower]

That was probably the worst game I have seen in 10 years, just brutal from start to finish.

 

[maxbme]

Bruins were real sloppy but goaltending was the biggest factor. Varlamov was standing on his head while Tuuka let in a few softies. That Yak goal was a mess on all fronts

Vatrano, Debrusk, McAvoy and Carlo were the bright spots.

Silver lining.

Hate to see games like this, but they happen. Everything just looked out of sync.

Amen. Hard to blame the goalie when the team doesn't score a goal, but he picked the right game to suck..

 

[Gordoff]

Ugly, stinkin' game!

As bad as Rask has been today I don't think that Varlamov was the difference. The Bruins did not really generate any offence nor had they many chances to score, they just flat out sucked.

 

[Hali33]

Silver lining.

Yep. Much worse when there's one end of the ice really playing to win. Nothing was going right for them.

 

[wintersej]

I almost called in "sick" to go to this one. Glad I didn't.

One positive. If Beleksey can play like he did tonight, he is a useful player for the Bruins or another team.

Excited to see Krug once he gets his timing back. Was fun the few times they got 4 man rushes or 5 guys involved in the offensive zone.

Some of it is because of the injuries and breaking new guys in, but I hope that the mix/matching of the lines calms down at some point. Its a nice tool to get a jump out of the team when playing poorly, but chemistry is also important.

 

[Gordoff]

Not that I blame Rask but: Wondering what his win/loss record is in matinee games?

 

[Terrier]

At least put an end to this Columbus Day "tradition".

By the way, anyone here attending the game in Vegas?

 

[trenton1]

The only thing notable about this streak to me is how it takes 20 years for 12 games to be played in one city between two teams in opposite conferences. In the 80's and 90's it would have been about 6 years. Lots of expansion and labor disputes since 1998.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Worst game of the season.

Two straight games with Nash on the PP. Bergy can't come back soon enough.

You knew when Rask had a hole in his glove on the 1st goal that it would be one of those games...

 

[Alicat]

The layoff between games to start the season seem a bit excessive.

I definitely think it hurt them in this game to build off of the win Thursday night.

Hopefully Krug will get used to the mask and Bergy will be back on Wednesday

 

[ON3M4N]

While you'd expect to beat COL, I have to admit I'm not surprised we lost. We're still without Bergy/Backes, Krug just came back, we suck on matinee games and for whatever reason we struggle against the Av's. Case in point, going into Rask for his career was 1-4-1 vs the Av's....but he had a 1.87 GAA / .937 SV% over those 6 games.

For whatever reason we just keep seem to beat the Av's

 

[Cronuss]

Terrible end to a terrible game. Atrocious. What a waste of 2.5 hours.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Let's hope that we don't see stinkers like this one too often. I have not seen the Bruins this bad in quite a while.

 

[since76]

Rask fault, he even did not score one goal tonight !
Pouah

 

[C0ach B0mbay]

Garden ice was so bad today. Humidity in town is heavy. Could really see it on the power play. Paired with an early, fluky goal against it was tough to come back.

 

[Arto Kilponen]

Bruins were real sloppy but goaltending was the biggest factor. Varlamov was standing on his head while Tuuka let in a few softies.

Might be spoiler for you, but if you don't score a single goal, you are going to lose the game no matter what your goaltending is.

At least these days each team plays home-and-home against everyone. Much better than it used to be and much better than in NFL for example.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Ryan Spooner was an absolute zero today. Guy gets a crack to play with some stars and blows it.

Great player in the preseason though.

I'm pretty much ready to dump him and see what Kuraly, Czarnik or JFK can do.

Spooner hasn't been good.

But two of those three you mention were, and they didn't get much done either.

 

[Hamilton Brian]

Glad I didn't spend a whole lot of time watching. Maybe the Bruins should end the matinee games.
