[bobber]

Every team Sweeney has built unfortunately.

Sweeney likes college hockey.

 

[BruinDust]

Bring back the redline.

I would not be oppose to it whatsoever. The pendulum has swung too far the other way.

I read once Scotty Bowman would prefer it back in. I think Bobby Orr also said something similar.

 

[Bmf316nhl]

I understand that many fans are disheartened and it leads to this kind of fatalistic, defeatist attitude, but I say keep winning as long as you can because you never know what the road ahead offers. Bobrovski pulls a muscle, Tkachuk gets injured. Pasta has a break-out game. Or just sheer puck luck goes your way. Go as far as you can and the hockey gods allow!

100% this....

try to in the game in front of you and see where it goes....

 

[BB79]

Apparently this is more likely than Maroon stepping up

He doesn't want to take a penalty

 

[TobanWest]

Feels like the old Tampa series losses kinda.

I made plans for Friday in an attempt to double jinx the Bruins into winning. I will be somewhere I can't check the scores, so they will assuredly win to drive me nuts


Barkov turned down Marchand and Coyle. Bennett turned down Frederic 100 times. Tkachuk turned down Maroon. OEL turned down McAvoy. There is only so much they can do. 3-0 10 minutes left game 3 was the time to not be nice, but other than that.

So when the team is in a scrum and everyone is pawing at each other you don't think that maroon or Freddy could grab someone and start punching there face? Bennet didn't ask Marchand... Nothing more they can do? C'mon.

They are already being badly outplayed, I would love that but when the cats score on the PP people would be preaching discipline

haha That ship sailed long ago, they have had 21 pps in 4 games .

 

[KnightofBoston]

Just read that Marchand has been ruled out .......

Earliest he can return is a game 6 if Boston can pull it off

 

[Bmessy]

I won't write the eulogy just yet. but i think at the beginning of the year if you said we'd win 1 round and lose in the 2nd we'd all have been happy. their hot start and half a year at first place was well exceeding expectations and gave us a false image compared to what we really are. this reality sucks but hey, we know what the big boys in the league are like now. we are def on the bottom end of the remaining 8 teams. management should realize.

anyway, hope they play hard and can maybe break the puck out better. perhaps support your forecheck too? if it gets down 4-1 or something then i will post bail for any possible jailtime for assaulting bennet or tkachuk

Why are people so afraid of a penalty? They take a too many men penalty each game.
Run over Bob every chance you can and I guarantee they will stick up for their teammate, all while Marchy sits with a concussion and no response to Bennet.
Seems like the organization not only neutered the team but the fans too... Since when did the Big Bad Bruins turn into the Best Behaviour Bruins

 

[Mad Dr Pepper]

Let's enjoy what we have left, may it be one last game or more because because we have a long time before next season!

Go Bruins!

Yeah but it was against the Leafs

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

We don't wish injury on players.

Certainly not. Merely discomfort.

 

[The don godfather]

Bennett is a dirty p.o.s.

 

[analyser]

The Bruins have to realize that you cannot poke check Barkov. You have to step into him no matter how big and strong he is. Look at the winning goal on Sunday he looked like a man playing against young boys.

Could say this about the entire teams play.

 

[lextune]

I'm already preemptively aggravated.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Bennett is a dirty p.o.s.

The NHL literally allowed him to get away with rabbit punching Marchand in the temple. Concussing him, how f***ed up are they?

Already dealt with a stooge Fla poster. Tried to explain to him rabbit punching isn't part of any team sport in NA. Used Gronk's suspension for a real life example he still doesn't get it.

I agree and do not see a positive result coming the Bruins way tonight. They just are not good enough, like it or not. They just do not have the offensive tools to compete against the Cats as shown by the shots per game.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

So what dumb shit will this game bring tonight.

For the series
FLA leads 8-7 in even strength goals
FLA leads 6-0 in PP goals (Boston had one but gave up one shorthanded so...)

Who's going to look great in a Bruins jersey in 2025.
