Can we all agree it makes no sense to start Ullmark game 3?

I’m not saying anything it’s his fault. But what I am saying is he rotated the spot with another goalie almost the entire year and only recently did Cassidy decide he had “the edge” over Swayman. And they’re down 2-0 this series. Why would he now get 3 games in a row?

If you’re not going to make a change now, then when and what?

Swayman almost assuredly starts Friday. Makes sense to go with the vet who has been playing better for the start and especially on the road. What gives me pause is Swayman has been really shaky the last month or so. Hopefully, a week’s rest has him dialed in.

Good comeback attempt

Get ‘em Friday guys !!!!

Need more posts from the positive group who were nowhere to be found during the game because the bruins played like shit. I need to be told how bad the GDTs are because of all the negative Nellie's.

You can't see them because they have you on ignore.

 

[Mione134]

We're gonna win at home folks.

 

[PoweredByRICE]

Bruce you better say something.

 

[NDiesel]

I'm not ready to give up, but things are certainly looking rough. Swayman in and I have no idea what the move is on forward or D if Lindholm is out. Reilly-McAvoy I guess. Maybe throw McLaughlin in, not sure Frederic deserves to stay in as well as Foligno or Nosek.

 

[Yeti of the Flow]

Legit request for two separate GDTs next game. One with thoughtful posting / moderation, and the other can have the "this team isn't tough burn it down" nonsense.

 

[22Brad Park]

Cassidy needs to sit a few guys.

 

[13Hockey]

This Defense has to win us 4 of the next 5 games

Grzelcyk McAvoy
Reilly Carlo
Forbort Clifton

Lol

 

[Bs1011]

Cassidy needs to sit a few guys.

He should start with himself

 

[Lobster57]

They were horrid against Montreal and Vancouver back in 2011

no they weren't. 0-2 and 1-3 against MTL (granted at home) and 0-1 and 2-3(ot) against the Nucks. Hardly comparable to this farce

Wagner in for Frederic and then Bruce needs to put Blidh in over Foligno.

Reilly slots in for Lindholm because we need to be able to roll 6 D.

 

[Mione134]

We're winning at home. Use the Lindholm hit as fuel. I feel it...

It might just be gas. But I feel something brewing....or Bruin..

 

[BAD BOY]

I’m not giving up. But I’m very disappointed though. I’m not calling any players out . They know who they are..

 

[Bs1011]

This Defense has to win us 4 of the next 5 games

Grzelcyk McAvoy
Reilly Carlo
Forbort Clifton

Lol

Back to this lineup are we

 

[Root]

Can someone please start a thread about our expected goals against or something?

So much negativity, don’t you guys know how good our advanced stats are in the regular season vs Buffalo?

Blidh & McLaughlin in for Foligno & Frederic would be the first set of moves I’d make. Frederic can’t keep taking bad penalties every single night.
Reilly likely takes Lindholm’s spot.
Swayman starts.

 

[22Brad Park]

Hahaha Leaf game powerplay after powerplay to It's an unwatchable product Every game same shit .

 

[chizzler]

What we are seeing here is what many of us have warned for years now. This team gets bullied in the playoffs. No one is scared of the Bruins and they take liberties with them. There is nobody in the team to drop the gloves. Tell me you wouldn’t want to see that tonight with the BS that went on? Sweeney doesn’t know what he’s doing.

 

[CrownofThornton]

I love this team, but it’s been a struggle watching this team for half the season.

We’re seeing the part of this team that is a disappointment, the team we saw at the start of the season. It just isn’t constructed well, and at worse.. has no balls or fire.

Everyone should have been hitting Svechnikov. The team was getting punished with excessive penalties anyways, At least make them worthwhile.

I hope if the team gets swept it ushers in a brand new era for the Bruins, and not one based off of whatever it is Sweeney and Neely envision.

As long as we name the "thoughtful posting" GDT Jonestown

I love this

The point is that they were down and just about out and came back.

Anything is possible.

 

[13Hockey]

So a team that has scored 4 goals in 5 goals vs the Canes

Our big changes will be to insert Wagner and Blidh

And we lose our 2nd best D in Lindy

Sounds hopeful
