What is disgusting is the Panthers have NO FEAR of playing in TD Garden as they have now won 4 playoff games in a row.That's disgusting!

The conflict between these two statements [arguably facts] is where I'm really struggling, and perhaps where the angst from the crowd is coming from also. For 50+ years I've chosen the Bruins as my team because they were never soft. They weren't always good, but always went down swinging - figuratively if not literally. This feels different and for the first time, starting to question my faith - if this is really the team I want to invest in emotionally. It hurts a bit.One thing I noticed tonight The crowd was angry at the team which seldom happens but you could feel it.
Charlie Jacobs fears the marketplace will not tolerate a rebuild and Sweeney has done a decent job keeping the team competitive in the Atlantic but they also have become soft.
Fire Sweeney.
Nothing else matters.
To me this is a perfect summationYou pay the price for letting it go 7 games against the Leafs.
Yes, Florida comes out a bit rusty in Game 1, but they’re the better rested team.
They’re also the better team.
The Bruins had a chance in this series. And they still do have a chance, but as others have said, their margin for error is razor thin.
To once again come out and get outshot 12-3 or whatever it was to start the game puts an immense amount of pressure on Swayman to be perfect.
The goalie can’t do everything by himself.
Add in cracks on defense and poor play down the middle and it’s not a recipe for success.
Game 4 isn’t technically a must win, but they have to have it if they want a chance at a game 6 as I don’t see Florida playing with its food up 3-1 with a chance to close it out at home.
So you do whatever it takes to win Game 4.
How ice DIS-advantage it seems……What is disgusting is the Panthers have NO FEAR of playing in TD Garden as they have now won 4 playoff games in a row.
Many expected a line brawl tonight even before the puck dropped - nothing happened.
The Bruins need to do it before Game 4 if, for no other reason, it could be their last home game this season. Get the crowd into it early..........
We are not 'The Big Bad Bruins' anymore - the team is Yogi and Boo-Boo
This is the all-time classic - a full-blown brawl during warmups
Look at the boxscore of that night - nobody got a penalty because the game had not started

We don't know who the officials will be yet but I fear Steve Kozari will be one of them.
Hopefully the Celtics learn this lesson and put their foot on the gas against the Cavs.This is why you needed to win game 5 v Leafs
they look gassed/fatigued and probably done in 5 maybe 6
You have to win an early series in 4 or 5
Florida to good to be with the gas light on
To me this is a perfect summation
Agree. He was one of the very few who showed up last night. He was also physical which was nice to see."Mr Inconsistent" has been the most consistent of ALL our players in the playoffs.
That's what I call kindling for my fire pitThat's disgusting!
Montour looked better last year and this PO
Probably dinged up. Took a few heavy hits tonight.What was up with Carlo tonight? Had a horrible game - Bruins were outshot 9-2 when he was on the ice - and was given less than 4 mins in the 3rd period, including just one tiny little shift in the last 11 mins. Was this simply due to fatigue, Monty keeping him on the bench due to his bad performance, or something more? Been a rock all playoffs, but alas not here.
Choking, heartless, gutless dogs. This whole roster could vanish in the offseason and I wouldn't blink. Beyond tired of hollow regular season success.

The “what did I do” shrug after is funny but I just don’t think enough is there or was brought up during the game for them to do anything about it.
The bear is thinking “I hope there’s nobody watching me take this McAvoy”.

Beecher is a player that I would like to see bring more. Has great size and speed. hope he just has to learn it more effectively . He seems to play so tentatively. Hoping as he gets more confident he will learn to use these great assets more effectively.Here's the thing.
Last year we went all in. It failed, that happens, look at Vegas, out in the 1st round even with all their BS.
Because we went all in last year , Sweeney had to look for bargains, IMO he did pretty well given the circumstances.
This team over achieved with the roster they played with this season. They had to work their asses off to finish where they did. With a very inferior roster they had more success in the PO's this year than last years dream team. Let's not forget our situation at center. We don't have a true 1C . Props to Coyle and Zacha for keeping it respectable but it is what is.
The future looks bright. Sign or trade for a true 1C and they'll be in business. Lots of young guys ready to take the next step.
Poitras,Lohrei, Beecher and Brazeau showed some good stuff this season. Who knows, maybe even Lysell , Merkulov and Regula can take the next step. Not bad for a team who's been perpetually rated at the bottom of the prospect pool.
The Bruins are playing a better team, simple as that. The Bruins look gased and have looked that way for some time. That's what happens when you have to bust your ass to stay competitive.

Bruins have most points since Sweeney been GM in leagueOne thing I noticed tonight The crowd was angry at the team which seldom happens but you could feel it.
Charlie Jacobs fears the marketplace will not tolerate a rebuild and Sweeney has done a decent job keeping the team competitive in the Atlantic but they also have become soft.
B's fans would want statues of them in front of practice facility if they played for B's.Tkachuk and Bennett being scumbags and water is wet.
All I have to say at this point is if they go down 3-1, at least give Bennett a good two-hander across the left hand for a parting gift. He can GFH and deserves it.
Florida isn't letting them.What kills me is the fact that they turn it on when down by a handful of goals.
Start the game this way. Jesus.
