No depth. Can't score 5 on 5. Blow it up. Bye Chara.

 

[BTO]

Meh, who want's a Stanley Cup * with an asterisk anyway.

Go Philly, NYI, Dallas, Colorado Vegas and, ahem, Van!

 

[TD Charlie]

Didn’t realize the faceoffs were that one sided. I mean, it felt like TB was clearing the boss of the dot tonight, but that’s more excessive Than i would’ve guessed.

 

[alg363636]

Off to meet Palat in my nightmares.

 

[missingchicklet]

This team isn't made for winning a Cup. Yet another season. Yet a lack of depth scoring and a legit 2RW again. Been several years now and the philosophy of the team makeup hasn't changed. Playoff coaching leaves something to be desired as well. Bs have some decision making ahead for sure. I hope they go in a different direction in multiple areas.

 

[TimThomas24]

I hope Reaves destroys their whole team

 

[Emerz]

Once again lines 2-4 quite literally were neutralized in to zilch against Tampa. I think Cassidy should have kept Marchand/Pasta together and moved Krejci up to 1C, I just can't get behind Marchand having Karson Kulhman as his winger, may as well have no one there cause that wasn't going to lead to any goals.

Points vs Tampa:

Pastrnak 6
Marchand 5
Krejci 3
Bergeron 2
Coyle 2
DeBrusk 1
Bjork 1
Kase 0
Wagner 0
Nordstrom 0

Halak played two games good enough for wins, game 1 and this game, can't blame him he's a backup. Big drop off in terms of production after Pasta and Marchand.

 

[PatriceBergeron]

Thanks to Chara if this it it.

I think Taylor Hall may be a loser and a locker room cancer, but at some point we need to address the wingers on this team (for the 6th year running)

 

[sarge88]

I hope Reaves destroys their whole team

They won’t get that far.

 

[Alicat]

Seeing Z walk off the ice the way he did hurt. He changed this franchise for the better.

 

[22Brad Park]

I am sad they lost but at peace with it.Sweeney has work to do and he best not let favortism play a part in it.Use your cash very wisely my friend.Anyways gonna relax a bit work at 6.Peace out folks.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Someone tell me why Bruce was smiling just now...

He gets to go home

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Bruins had nowhere close to 53 hits, that is certain.

This roster was as soft as roster as this team has had in history.

Bruce was brutal this round.
The Bruins were brutal this round.
The officials were brutal this round.
The NHL scheduling was brutal this round.
NBC's commentary was brutal this round.

Outside of the execution of the bubble itself, there is little to enjoy in this entertainment this postseason.

See you all in the preseason.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Somehow we'll end up with 3 first round picks...

 

[BTO]

Off to meet Palat in my nightmares.

If tb play Philly hopefully it's the mid-70s Flyers!

 

[LucicIsABeast]

The 2nd line, chara, krug and Carlo, all did awful. Need some forwards to fight in front of the net (and to teach the d how to properly shoot the puck past defenders)

We hear all about the leadership and the veteran core, but they play really flat playoff games for the most part. Where is 5hat leadership when it matters?

 

[Widdlez]

This series (and the St.Louis one) really turned me off of Bruce's defensive system. Seems like teams with smart defenseman are learning to take advantage of the Bruin's collapsing and we just aren't blocking enough shots and clearing the front of the net well enough to let the other team's D run the show like that.

Hope he adjusts because hes obviously not going anywhere.

 

[Zillah]

The old fashioned hockey trade is sadly a thing of the past in the cap era .our team is getting older and time to shed a little older talent for some future

 

[Dr Hook]

He gets to go home

still some good weather left for golf

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Well what can you do. A backup goalie who did all he could and was not as bad as most said. Secondary scoring and some size and snarl for next year please. Time to see what some of the new blood can do. This core has been great but they had time to develop, lets get some finishers and punishers that can skate.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Meh, who want's a Stanley Cup * with an asterisk anyway.

Go Philly, NYI, Dallas, Colorado Vegas and, ahem, Van!

I'd have taken it.

But I wasn't hopeful going in I guess, so what right do I have to be disappointed?

 

[Festy1986]

Whats the chances we get a new gm?

 

[Ivo]

This is not going to be popular, but I want Tampa to win the Cup. Putting emotions aside and thinking rationally, this is a team we have troubles with and they are in our division. We will have to go through them year after year, if we want to win a cup. We need them to lose some of their quality depth players, and them winning a cup would certainly help speed up their disintegration, seeing how cup winning teams always end up overpaying for their depth guys or losing them. Them winning it this year might make them easier to beat in the years to come.
