Great call by Monty, give the team a day off to reflect about what they need to do to win.
Have a very light skate tomorrow, work on PP and PK.

Sit Maroon the next game.
He is too slow and is not creating any offense.
Can we call up Merkulov?

I’m going and I may get popcorn for this because I have know idea if I’m watching Apocalypse Now or the Wizard of Oz.
Was talking to Eric a few minutes ago and both settled around 20 % (always comes down to 80/20) of Bruins fanbase leaving.
Being associated with chokers and losers not something anyone wants.
To all my friends here who will be vacating after a loss best wishes and good health

Although apparently, posting about the Bruins is still an acceptable way to spend time your time *at* work.
The Bruins can’t lose that game tomorrow night. No way. Is this how the 100th anniversary season is going to go down?
There have been three eras of my Bruins fandom:
1. Childhood - 1987: Can’t beat Montreal.
2. 1988 - c. 2006: Just one or two players away…
3. 2007 - present: Can’t win Game 7.
Yes, there have been some huge Game 7 wins, including three in 2011, but those are the exceptions.
I’m tired of all the talk of toughness and hard work and leadership when it comes to the Bruins. Ever since the Kraut Line departed for military service during World War II (and derailed a would-be Bruins dynasty), leadership on and off the ice has been lacking. There have been fleeting moments of glory, but that’s all they were: fleeting.
When the Bruins won in 2011, I thought that team would win 3 or 4 cups no problem. Maybe more. But it was the Blackhawks and not the Bruins who seized that mantle. 2011 was the exception. The aberration.
Yes, this is a bridge year. A rebuilding year. A retooling year. I understand that.
BUT…
The 2024 Boston Bruins should have won this series days ago. Do they not care? Was this SCRIPTED to go seven games??? Is that why they haven’t beaten the Maple Leafs sans their best player? If that’s the case, I’ll just throw all my thousands of dollars worth of Bruins stuff in the trash where it would belong.
No sports fan “deserves” a win. That’s not how it works. But we fans who invest our money and even more precious time in our favorite teams deserve effort.
We haven’t been getting it.
I’m sick of the Bruins “culture” and the myth of what that is. Time to change the reality of that culture.

Team is struggling to get pucks on net....and that's evident by the fact that Brandon SHUTDOWN D-MAN Carlo is tied for 5th on the team in SOG! If he had one more shot he'd be tied for 3rd on the team for SOG. When a guy who averages 4 goals a season is one of your top shot generators, you know you have a GIANT f***ing problem.
Here's a look at where the % of our team goals came for the Reg vs Post season so far
Coyle & Zacha accounted for nearly 20% of our goals this season, but have both laid goose eggs in the playoffs. If those guys who finished top 4 in goals for us this year don't find the net in Game 7, then we're in trouble. In those 3 Bruins losses, those top 4 guys have 1 goal combined.

The NHL, the stupidest League ever.
Due to being an old fart I remember these debacles....
I was 8 years old as I watched the 1971 4-2 game 7 v the Habs
1974 game 6 v the Flyers
And of course 1979

If you had told me that DeBrusk and Frederic would be putting the puck at the next at this rate in the postseason, I would have assumed a Bruins victory.

You need to have more faith in the Bruins fan base. Their a passionate group and want to win just like any other fan base. If the Bruins do become the first team of the 3 major sport leagues that blow a 3 games to 1 lead in consecutive seasons, being upset and frustrated is more than ok, and being aye the sun will come up tomorrow is also Ok.
Fans who would leave, are they really fans anyways ? Fair weather, perhaps.

He's fast and can actually win a draw once in a while. Coyle and Zacha are giving you zilch so why not?
Who's talking about blame ....who's talking about just that loss.
Just saying that being the Bruins are a team that builds for championships as their M.O....
this D is not even in the ball.park

You were young.
At least you could cry.
I was too old cry and too young to drink in 1971. It was horrible.
Everyone knew what this needed after last year’s collapse, a center and some toughness.
I have read some write Montgomery is good with the young guys. Sorry not seeing it, Beecher in and out Lauko is a black hole for offense. Do you give him credit for Lohrie and where he is in his development?
During the season should have tried Fredric at center for a bunch of games.
