When the shots are 16-3 in favor of the other guys, don't panic. Sweeney himself has said that this isn't a volume shooting team. They're healthy and ready to go. It's hard to play good teams. Everybody just needs to be a little bit better.

 

[Dr Hook]

At 2 shots a period wont even get you tipsy.
So you sure as shit are not winning a hockey game either.

This is where I am, too. Crap reffing and cheap shots aside, this won't get it done.

 

[BB79]

Options for tonight-
1-win
or
2-make sure Bennett, Tkachuk and/or Bobrovski aren't able to compete in the ECF

Pick one. Losing soft will be the worst possible outcome.

If option 1 is chosen, rinse and repeat for Friday night.

Here's my treasured Bruins sweater that my beloved Mom made me 50+ years ago. Hopefully it will bring some good luck. Maybe Espo's number will make it go to 7.

I have a Bruins jersey sweater that I knitted last year. I wore it to my first game and Pasta got a hat trick!

The detail on your sweater is amazing, so impressive

I have absolutely zero faith in a good 60 minute effort. I'm guessing they have 11 shots going into the 3rd, go down 3 goals at some stage and then put in a solid 5 minute push, score a goal and it's a 3-1 final.

They're just not a good enough hockey team.

For the life of me, I can't understand why I need to say this again, but I do. SHOOT HIGH!!!

Sweeney says that’s not there style man.

It amazing isn’t it this is our style doesn’t matter if it’s not working anymore,Monty will switch up the lines and lineup on a dime ,but when it comes to the game plan or style nope always seems to be the same . We saw the Leafs pretty much change their style of play after game 4 and it pretty much almost won them the series. Florida changed theirs after the first period of game 2. Don’t think their is a person on here that didn’t know that an aggressive forcheck was the Bruins kryptonite ,yes Florida has a more talented overall team ,but isn’t the inability to get the puck out of their own end or generate shots and a good forechecking game more about the system?

Carolina provided a nice template for winning on the road in an elimination game. Let's hope the B's were taking notes.

Forget about settling scores, and avoid all needless penalties.

Despite the over-zealous fan reaction, this isn't last year's Florida Panthers. They are limiting the post-whistle scrums, often abandon their heavy forecheck for the trap, and they aren't even dressing their two biggest pests (Cousins, Lomberg).

If the Bruins play the Panthers' game, they'll be shaking hands at night's end; and we'll have seen our last goalie hug.

Haven’t watched much of that series,but I don’t think the Rangers have dominated Carolina like Florida has have they .

10 shots per period
Shoot high

 

[22Brad Park]

If they lose, I just pray it's the last game of Montgomery that I have to see behind Bruins bench .I cannot support a coach who allowed his star players to take punches in the face without any repercussions. Sorry I just can't.

gotta stay out of the box.
power plays are like 22-10 in favor of the cats this series

Did you expect Monty to jump on the ice and fight?

Then they will all smile and shake Bennets hand.

Yes that’s for sure and we can blame the refs for some of the discrepancies,but also penalties tend to get called more on the defensive team in own end of which the Bruins spend most of their time.

The time to settle scores is the first meeting of the regular season next year. Got focus on winning the games (granted they haven't been doing a good job of that either).

This for sure. Only way they win tonight is if Marchand is back and pissed. Not enough talent and the talent they have ain't doing enough minus Sway. Offense isn't there. Defence is a mess. Special teams ain't great. League and refs biased. Coach out coached. GM clueless and endorsing low amount of shots. President to busy throwing water bottles.
This year's Bruins are a bridge team that has over exceeded expectations. Made the playoffs and knocked off the Leafs to save face for a lot of embarrassment. Not bad... Just wish they would play all out in this series against a rival in the 100th season especially after they concussed your captain. Show some pride but I feel Shep is right, 3-1 sounds about right with a 3 period push after a handful of shots.

He is the head coach of the SS Sissy

 

[Bad Bruin]

I fully share this wish.

I love your avatar!

Thanks. I have a couple avatars made up reflective of how I feel the team is playing. I’ll bust out the appropriate one when it suits them. Right now it’s Hissy Kitty. Annoying to its opponent but hardly dangerous…

Random coffee cup this morning has nice colours. A sign? Yeah!!

I heard that last time and nothing happened. That's a pile of horse shit .It should have been dealt with the second Sam Bennett's skates hit the ice after suckering Brad.Anyways I am no Cue ball fan his teams lack spine.

I’m just happy that Sweeney and Maroon are on the same page. Nothing like having your GM say its not about shot totals and maroon saying they need to throw more pucks on net.

I would pick number two.

Sam Bennett to the Bruins, and he's completely right.

This roster needs an overhaul from behind bench out.Losing is one thing I can live with that ,but to be humiliated in your own barn allowing your captain to get punched out is unacceptable.There is nothing anyone can say to prove that wrong because it happened.I am still hot about it days later

 

[Scotto74]

We win tonight and start the payback for them doing this exact thing to us last year. team that is 3-1 will lose both years back to back. Book it.
