BRUINS GDT GAME 21 7:08 PM - THE BEAR visits the Columbus Zoo and a historical landmark - NESN, ESPN+, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[JAD]

Give me some tough Canadian born players, yes I said that. Enough of filling the roster with Americans and euros

I'm all for toughness ... I long for the days of Jonathan, Wensink, O'Reilly, but a true number one center would be nice too.

 

[GloveSave1]

Easy. Really easy. Finish your checks. Fundamental

They really do hate to.

It’s like telling Carlo to be nasty.

 

[chizzler]

When he ain't scoring, he's snoring.

I think he’s hurt. Not trying to stick up for him.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Actually the last three games
Marchand -3 -1 -3
Pasta -2 -1 -2
Zacha -2 -1 -3

That why the coach pulled Sway

 

[PaulD]

Rangers got smoked too. With Shesterkin in net. By the Sabres.
Knights are struggling
It happens

Bruins will be fresh and prepared to smoke the Leafs Saturday.

Sharks are warm up.

And Monty has to...absolutely HAS TO stop over coaching . History of it.

 

[BruinsJoe]

He was. So were Lindholm and Shattenkirk.

3 D who s playing like sissys...bench all 3 next game...and Frederic too!

Don Cherry how's things going?

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Don Cherry how's things going?

I wish he was our coach even at 99 years old

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

The more I see the games that Monty coaches this season, the more I’m convinced he doesn’t know what he’s doing. Switching lines every game is like throwing shit at the wall hoping it sticks.

Not a lot of lines have found chemistry really

They almost play better offensively with blender lines

 

[bobbyorr04]

He said the players had no legs , what a dumbass

That's not Swayman's fault ...and then he pulls the goalie with 7 minutes left

I would check Monty's coffee mug to make sure there's only coffee in there

Come on. Swapping out goalies when the team is listless is one of the oldest tricks in the book. Complaining about is just looking for things to complain about. When there are real things worth complaining about.

Tell Swayman that

They don't have enough talent up front.

If we are honest, Zacha is better on the wing. DeBrusk is best when he is the third best guy on the line. Coyle is best at 3C. Poitras is going to be inconsistent with growing pains.

Yes it's throwing shit against the wall. But playing with consistent lines is what lead into this losing streak.

Speaking of Debrusk, I don't remember hearing his name at all tonight.

 

[NeelyOrr]

Seeing as you don't seem to be overly emotional after a loss like other posters I hope you don't mind if I ask you why we think Swayman was mad at Montgomery. Why are we trying to create this narrative?

He's competitive and should be mad. But I do understand why Monty did it. Removing J-SWAY was his disappointment with the rest of the team and I'm sure the players got the message.

 

[GloveSave1]

Alright, let’s do tin foil hat…

The Bruins were marked by the league as the team that can’t lose. Starting with the Monty bench minor game. They wanted to take them down a peg or two. Bruins are sick of playing under that…so they are trying to get off the league’s radar.

Yes…I’m joking around.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Was there reports or video of him yelling at Montgomery that I missed?

Or is this just speculation?

 

[22Brad Park]

Figured we might have some warts trying to score goals but never thought we would see 3 straight games allowing 5.

 

[bobbyorr04]

The 2011 team with mostly Canadians and a damn good American goalie is a good example

Never got message very well because they allowed 3 more

 

[missingchicklet]

The best part about the whole thing is how Swayman will channel how pissed he is into his game. He plays very well when pissed off as does Linus. Hopefully it is contagious. I wouldn’t hesitate to start him on Thursday.

For sure I'd go back to him next game. One good thing about getting pulled is that Swayman's save pct. didn't go down as much as it could have. Bs goalies have not been getting a lot of help from the team D as of late.

Tell Swayman that

what would you rather he do when no one looked like they gave a shit?

also woof on that joke :/

 

[Gordoff]

He was. So were Lindholm and Shattenkirk.

And Gryz, and Carlo, and.....

 

[NeelyOrr]

Was there reports or video of him yelling at Montgomery that I missed?

Or is this just speculation?

If J-SWAY wasn't pissed, I'd be concerned about his dedication to the team. I'm sure Monty has explained the reason to him why the action was taken.

 

[hrdpuk]

I would sit Pasta before Sway , Goalie pulled with 7 min on the clock.

Seems more like panic moves rather rather than strategic moves

Down by three, that is actually following the spreadsheet.

Then maybe a few players should get benched.
