BRUINS GDT 5/6: ECSF Game 5: Rise Up For Rene: 3:18 PM ET: NBC, CBC, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[SpitfireIX]

Wrong. They contended this year

Wrong, they lost in 5 games in round 2...

Still haven't won a Cup since trading Seguin

Lol, Seguin hasn't won shit since being traded.

 

[Gordoff]

I hate being right: Called it for tamp in five in the poll. Was hoping after the first game that I would be VERY wrong.

 

[GloveSave1]

Well. Good effort. I thought there was a pretty good chance we'd get blown out of this game.

Get healthy. Reload. Good first taste for a lot of our young players.

Where will spend the Rick Nash money?

 

[JOKER 192]

Still haven't won a Cup since trading Seguin

At least his salary would have kept them from signing Backes I would think

 

[crimsonace]

At this point I want any team from the West to win the Cup. In order, Nashville, Vegas, San Jose, Winnipeg.

I've developed a lot of dislike for the Pens & Caps over the last decade.

I've developed an even greater distaste for the Lightning in the last 10 days.

The West teams are all pretty "meh" to me, but I'll be rooting for whomever comes out of it.

 

[neelyforpresident]

Better team won. Improve the roster in the off season.

 

[Dr Hook]

As bad as this may sound, I didn't have much hope of it turning out any other way. We were outplayed for pretty much the entire game. Leaving game 1 aside, we really didn't look like we were in the same class as Tampa. They played a good series, so props to them- regardless of the bad reffing, and borderline to dirty stuff, they had our number. As per usual every year the Bruins don't get to the final, I am pulling for whoever comes out of the West.

 

[Cronuss]

I am not paying for NHL products next year unless there is a proper explanation or addressing of this shit show we have had to suffer through.

Not a f***ing penny from me. Not for a product like this.

 

[Krupp]

Hey, a lot of critics said boston couldn't - and WOULDN'T - make it to the postseason. They did more than that this year with quite a few rooks in the lineup.

They nearly clinched the conference.

They put the dagger in Toronto's playoff hopes. That right there alone makes me feel better about this season. Keep it in perspective guys. We ALL were worried they were gonna lose that series. At least they lost to a better team, from the net-out.

Seguin hasn't won a cup since leaving Boston... I'm a doing this right.....

 

[cat400]

This year’s edition of the Bruins gave us a wonderful ride.

They surpassed all pundit predictions and displayed a level of compete and grit that was second to none.

The future looks bright.

 

[Orr2Neely8]

They will be much better next season...good evening all

 

[Madturk]

After the first game, thought that this would be a tight series. B’s just overmatched and too much youth and lack of size on the defense.

Can’t be unhappy with the season

 

[devilbruin]

Tampa is definitely the better team. But I was hoping Boston could push them to a 7 game series at least.

Losing in 5 kinda feels like a humiliation more than anything. But **** it. I'd rather see Tampa get to the cup over the Penguins.

Guess I'm hoping for the Caps to make it first though

Would’ve been at least 6 if not for officiating. But the end result would’ve likely been the same. Lightning figures us out after game 1

 

[ViperGTS]

I hope Marchand doesn't pull any funny business in the hand-shake line. Lose with grace.

No such quarter should be given in this series. Those a holes don’t deserve this series win. They act like they are so good when the zebras gifted them this series.

Head hunting pricks.

 

[Bridges31]

What’s going to happen in 3 years? I’m honestly asking. Their best players will be 3 years older- that’s about it. There’s no mcdavid walking through the door. Their time is now.

Well they better hope Danato and a couple of their other forwards pan out as well as one of their D prospects.

Their supporting players and depth is still very young. Too young to be expected to carry the team in the immediate future.

 

[Iceage]

Unfortunately our team is classy.

Except one player.

 

[Grasshopperking]

Can't tell if it's the loss making me sick or the cookies, cola, and chips I ingested.

Moral of the story, don't consume garbage and you won't feel sick. Maybe next year the Bruins can serve up something palatable

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

This place is going to be an absolute cesspool....Even worse than usual.

 

[bearcountry17]

Chara is going to be servely over paid next season. With any luck he’ll be in the press box for 20 or so games.

Chara will go from passable #1 dman to the 9th floor. Nice hot take jack ass. How many goals did that lethal Tampa top line score against us? 3?

 

[bluetib]

Bright future if they start to look for size/wieight/speed/grit

 

[Trap Jesus]

I think this was very easily the worst series the Bruins have had since... I don't even know. You're probably getting into the 80s or something.

 

[Hamilton Brian]

Well, off to the off-season. Keep going with the plan. The give-up for Nash will hurt but it won't slow us down.

 

[Bruin1970]

I hope they meet washington ....thats a heavy team

Washington or the pens will eat that team alive. They are softer than a corolla

 

[mar2kbos]

They need to not go into next season thinking Chara is a top defenseman anymore. He was gassed from game 1 on
