BRUINS GDT Game 79 4/9 | Bruins vs. Whalercanes | 7pm ET | NESN, 98.5 FM

Came out hitting in the first and then the physicality just disappeared. Guess the message Marchand sent in the first with all those hits fell on deaf ears.

Maybe the BRUINS decided playing the Bolts in the 1st PO round isn't a good idea.

 

[Terrier]

Yikes, what a wacky night in Sway's crease. Two own goals, one Skoog, a slow roller and one bad angle goal waved off by a smidgen of red paint.

"Slow roller." That brings back bad memories.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

They’ve been fine lately. I’m concerned with the play of certain players and the goaltending from Swayman right now.

Swayman is a concern and given what happened the last two years in the playoffs, Ullmark doesn’t fill me with a lot of confidence but I’d start Ullmark game 1 and take it from there .

 

[22Brad Park]

Tort? Wasn't he the guy some wanted to replace Monty?

he won a cup

 

[NeelyOrr]

he won a cup

So did Claude, but he got replaced.

 

[Babajingo]

Pasta -3 with 1 shot on goal. There's your playoff formula if you are facing the Bs

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Definitely a flush it game ..


Bruins definitely play better vs Leafs then Tampa and no Vasi.Be hard series on nerves though lol

If the Bruins can’t beat Tampa this time around then they never will . Tampa’s core as great as they are can’t do it all . They aren’t as deep as they were , still good but beatable in my opinion.

Not by us during the regular season.

For a while I wasn’t sure if they’d finish with double digit shots on goal, soooo that’s a plus?!

In all seriousness, that game was ass

I may be wrong, but I believe the 'Canes lead the league in giving up the fewest shots.

 

[dugg133]

Meh. We know what this team is at this point, a stinker doesn't really bother me. Just get to the playoffs healthy.

I believe it. Boston didn’t make it very difficult for them tonight

Which they weren't last season. Especially Bergy, who re-injured himself in that last meaningless game at Montreal. "But Monty I have to play. All my family and friends are here." The only time I remember Bergy ever putting himself above the team.

It’s time to start resting guys . No one wants to avoid the Leafs more than me but being healthy is the primary objective.

Yeah Swayman's play is concerning for sure

He's making Monty's decision for starting playoff goalie easier

I'd prefer to avoid Tampa, but that's probably unlikely.

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

Bruins really can't handle the speed and tenacity that Carolina can bring. This is not a new thing. I don't see us being able to beat them should we meet in the playoffs. Maybe with great goaltending and luck but unlikely.
Swayman did make some big saves but this isn't the first time I've thought he doesn't track the puck well when it goes behind the net. He's vulnerable to wrap arounds and such. It is a weakness that could be huge in the playoffs.
PP still not good enough. All the usual stuff really. Carolina was just better. A lot better.

I don’t want to avoid them at all, feed me those perennial frauds

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

I would definitely prefer to play the Leafs first. Not afraid of them one bit.

20 years ago.

Still won one.That Flyers team has very little to work with.Virtually zero goaltending all season

So. I am on-site and missed the game. While check8ng for Bruins in 2 I scrolled too far and saw the score. I’m pretty close to skipping altogether given the result even though it’s against the Whalercanes a potential playoff foe. Any riveting reason why I should power through and watch this one?

 

[22Brad Park]

Bruins are on house money.They were not even picked to make playoffs so no pressure.Regardless they need to add scoring in summer.

Nope. Absolutely not. Move on

Frankly, I’m jealous of you
