So your move is to sit our top offensive players in OT. Well I respectfully disagree with your assessment.
What's the record for most OT losses ? Are the Bruin's goning to get another record?
Someone asked how does a team with Pasta, Marchy, and McAvoy lose so many 3v3's?
Simple actually, because when Pasta's on the ice with a 3v3 and the opposition has the puck, it suddenly becomes a 3v2.

Why are they so bad in OT? That’s 2 points for sure left on the table and Colorado was a winnable game too. How frustrating to stay up watching past midnight the last three games for that shit.
To answer my own question. We are trailing NYI in OT loses. They have 10 , Bruin's have 9
But there's 42 games left. Bruin's can do this.

That is funny, , Bonehead play by Pasta but replay shows Marchand loafing trying to save his gas for offense so he should bare some blame to.But that was funny for sure

Don, .500 hockey is not incredible, sorry.
It's better than completely falling apart, which this team can and possibly will.
Reasons, Not Excuses Dept: Yet another absurd NHL schedule, two games a week at most to begin, turning into a crowded, grueling dance card with back-to-back games; significant injury to important players; lesser talent; Montgomery's incessant, stupid, OCD game to game/shift to shift line juggling four months into the season, resulting in little but constant chaos and instability; a defensive system which is NOT WORKING, a critical deficiency for which Montgomery apparently has no answer.
Remember, it's a transitional year, with all that implies.
I love Brad and I know he's doing his best. Which, along with stellar play from Ullmark and Swayman, is likely the reason why the Bruins are where they are in the standings.
To me, coaching is the primary issue. If you look at the record, Jim Montgomery has done an excellent job this season, given what he has. On paper, the Bruins should be one of the better defensive clubs in the league.
But, I still have a strong sense of chaos and instability, a failure to address, let alone remedy, a defensive "system" in disarray.
If the Boston Bruins lack stalwart defense, always their calling card, that is the major problem.
And that, as I opine with increasing frequency, is on the coach.

Vegas looked gassed end of the third. If we had any offence at all should have had a regulation win but since this team is incredibly offensively challenged, as they have been most of the season, it's another loser point.
Better than nothing, but some of the bargain bodies looked like cast offs tonight.
Geekie set up perfectly several times but showed his less than elite skills on all occasions. Not to dump on him, he played fine, but he is what he is. As are the rest.
Maybe better we fall to 2nd or 3rd. I think they can beat Toronto first round. Let somebody else get banged up against Florida to start. Maybe then Florida also gets a few nicks and bruises and then anything's possible.
Not really worried yet, but also not expecting all that much.

I picked 6 points, so if the BRUINS can win in regulation and then get another point in O/T, I'm good.
Mood on that OT loss as told by gifs from Succession.
I need this west coast trip to end on a winning note. Please and thank you

When you ride certain players during the game, they become gassed in OT. Shortening the bench has consequences later on. You can see them being too tired and what happens are mental mistakes.

Are the Bruins running out of steam?
They've only won 5 of their last 10 games.
It feels like they need to make a move for a difference maker soon or this slump could soon affect their position in the standings.
Is finding that Top Six center our biggest need or is there something else that needs fixing?

So, no injuries last night at least? I hope.....
Those are generally penalties that happen when you’re lazy or tired.
Team is really beat up right now and I believe they will get it together shortly
