Bergy-less Backes-less Bruins Blow it in Budville.

Bs have come out unprepared to compete two straight games. Zero reason for that. Bergeron or no Bergeron there is no reason to play like the Bs did for 50 of the 60 mins tonight.

 

[Coach Parker]

I'm starting to get a little worried (still too early to get into a panic) that this team is a lot slower than we think.

 

[Gordoff]

Dale Arnold: "I'm not so sure those guys (Bergy and Backes) would've made a difference tonight either" Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

 

[bruinsfan1970]

I know the season is still young but I just got a feeling it will be up and down. I hate the pulling the goalie it backfires more than anything.

 

[billings21]

gotta be more competitive than that. i could see if it was random game 43 of the season, but you're getting dominated by a crappy colorado team in games 2 and 3? what have these guys been doing the past couple months?

 

[Lockheed]

After game 1 I seriously said "boy, this team is quick". After watching three Boston games and many other games from around the league I am not sure if this team is fast enough.

 

[Gordoff]

Blame chart for tonight:
Butch: 25%
Players: 50%
Sweeney:25%

As the season goes on, and if this continues the above blame chart will change dramatically.

 

[Bruinaura]

I just hope they don't push Bergeron to come back for the next game unless he's truly 100%.

Can't blame it all on speed. These guys were out of position, making bad choices, not physical, and playing un-enthused hockey. It's too early in the season for this kind of malaise.

Of course it's not just speed, the team as a whole was awful. But as others have pointed out, there are much faster teams in the league. And one has to wonder how much they can actually neutralize those speedier teams. Positioning and better decision making will help, but it's difficult to out play significantly faster teams.

I am willing to bet by November Cassidy will have Nash as the third line center and Kuraly the fourth. He loves him some Nash. I know they are down guys but he doesn’t need all that ice time and especially when they need to score goals. Seems every coach has their pet player and Nash is his.

 

[chizzler]

Team needs time to gel. Being out of position can make a team feel slower than it really is. They will get better. One thing.....Krejci and Pasternak still don't mesh.

I think Dobby will be in goal on Saturday.

Glad I missed this one. It looks like the Bruins are getting themselves into a lot of trouble for this season. Getting dominated twice by a bad Colorado team is really not a good sign for the future. It will be really interesting to see what Bruins team shows up during the next few games but a few more straight losses can be deadly. On paper our team looks pretty average compared to many others in the league.

 

[finchster]

12-16 games into the season you can start to panic. However, this looks like another bubble team.

 

[Fenway]

Thanks @dafoomie for these Bruins highlights

US Thanksgiving is the accepted benchmark of where a team is heading. I need to see the B's playing against Eastern teams before I will even grade them.

 

[BruinsPortugal]

wow glad i didnt watch that one. Only saw the highlights but that was some putrid effort defensively, looked like they werent even trying.

Great goal by Marchy though, need to see more of that.

 

[rocketdan9]

Could be just a matchup issue. Wont see the Avs again in the regular season...

 

[Blowfish]

On the bright side Spooner was 63% 13 face offs. And was the least minus lol.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Thanks @dafoomie for these Bruins highlights

Credit to Mcquaid for answering the bell. If the Bruins aren't winning i hope to see more fighting

 

[Hali33]

Looks like I made the right decision to go to bed instead.
