Bruins played well, effort was there, but we just lost the edge to a very good Capitals team. It just sucks more considering we're already on a skid.

What wasn't good was our PP. Jesus Christ.

 

[Pia8988]

Bruins were fortunate to get to avoid Washington last season in the playoffs. Will they get that lucky again?

 

[DarrenBanks56]

we played good. we win this game if not for the weak offside overturn.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Halak, Bergy and Bjork were good.

Maybe this is good that the team is getting exposed and real changes need to happen before we head into the second half of the year.

Krech needs 2 wingers that mesh with him. Jake and Krech are not working and the other guy is a journeyman.

 

[BAD BOY]

I thought is was gonna be 2-0. After that everything was a blur. I can’t remember anything.

Another Loss to the Caps....What's New!!!! Getting old and I only watched the final 2 minutes and that stupid replay crapola has got to go, the Refs get paid to officiate and if they miss it, Oh well. Let the game evolve and stop adding new problems every season.

 

[Emerz]

Game was over the second that Bergeron goal got called back.

Not a bad effort, don't think Washington played very good, Holtby was sharp.

Caps didn't even play a great game. Took a lot of very stupid penalties, and missed out on a couple easy goals. Bs indeed played hard, but just don't have the depth of the Caps. No chance this Bs team as currently constructed gets past the Caps in a playoff series. Simply not enough finish. Moves have to be made.

 

[Johnny4778]

Not a horrible game, but I think we have some real weaknesses for an “elite” team so to speak. Sweeney has some work to do.

 

[Budddy]

lack of shots on PP is a killer but the turnovers and losing offensive zone play sucks...too careless

 

[Aeroforce]

Was watching delayed on DVR for until the overturned goal.

Complete and utter nonsense and a major blight on the league. The linesmen aren't this bad; goals are being disallowed on infractions that are imperceptible to the human eye.

Krech needs 2 wingers that mesh with him. Jake and Krech are not working and the other guy is a journeyman.

Maybe give Krejci a shot on PP1 instead of DeBrusk, Heinen or whoever?

Don’t care that he shoots right....don’t care that he’d need to be in front of the net.....just care that he’s creative and talented and that the PP hasn’t produced in 4-5 games.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

how we stay in games with 3 4th lines is amazing. gotta figure something out.

 

[bobbyorr04]

I'm beyond tired of disallowed goals...

 

[pgm16]

Caps are a good team. Gotta come up big in Florida

 

[NeelyOrr]

BRUINS were beaten by a better team with more balance throughout. The BRUINS are more top heavy than Dolly Parton.
Hopefully, when the PO's begin, the BRUINS can be as overachieving as they were over the first twenty-some games.
Also hopefully, some other team can eliminate the Caps before the BRUINS face them in the PO's.

 

[Kazcram]

6 game losing streak incoming

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

I don’t particularly want Ritchie in the lineup but tomorrow I would flip Ritchie and Heinen .

 

[Baddkarma]

Just typical against good teams that are big and ornery'. Not good enough...

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

6 game losing streak incoming

Bruins will beat Tampa tomorrow. Tampa isn’t playing particularly well .

 

[Emerz]

Are teams employing a full compliment of video review guys looking at every single zone entry, then contacting the head coach after each goal to let them know if they should challenge? If so that should be disallowed, either they decide to challenge based on the real time view, or they don't challenge it.

 

[Estlin]

Bruins were fortunate to get to avoid Washington last season in the playoffs. Will they get that lucky again?

Which is why in part last season was probably the core’s last best shot at a Stanley Cup.

Yes, at least some teams have a video guy watching every entry. No, it shouldn't be disallowed.

 

[trenton1]

Ritchie just isn't hungry enough or nasty enough for my liking. He should have been matching the nastiness of Hathaway tonight all night long.
The Bruins are kind of vanilla and boring when the other team skates with them and cancels out the skill. They don't have the versatility to get nasty and win in several ways.

It's one reason the Cup slipped away and now the guy they brought in to help address it, well, he seems big, tough and...passive.
