Hate to say it, but yup. Thank God for Tim Thomas.There’s something about this core that just seems to shrivel in big moments. If they can’t win this year they need to blow it up.
1971 Bruins.
Thankfully I won't be around in 2075.
Hang the banner for that.Whole league and every fan base cheering and laughing. Good job. Congrats on the President’s Trophy.
The series wasn’t reffed that badly. The Bruins shit down their leg.They will start calling florida on all their garbage against Toronto. They will start labeling them as undisciplined and Toronto finishes them off in 5
Sure you can. From January on, this team’s goal shifted. Just about every mathematical model didn’t just have them as favourites in this series, but dangerously close to a favourite for the Cup over the field. At no point in the last 200 minutes of hockey did it look like the best team in NHL history (TM) were actually better.You can’t fire Montgomery but he coached a terrible series
The game 6 game winner came 30 seconds after a blatant tripThe series wasn’t reffed that badly. The Bruins shit down their leg.
They at least made it to the finalsThe 2007 pats say welcome to the party.
This is what I was trying to say earlier.Ullmark was visibly not right for several games. Giving Swayman the nod up 3-1 made all the sense in the world. I'm sorry, but that's why we're here now.
Don’t forget that he’s still an ELC on their books. Is it beyond him to think shit’s died down and put him in the ECHL next season?Neely should've been gone with the whole Mitch Miller situation.
Orlov was better tonight, but Carlo was the only competent guy all series. McAvoy and Lindholm were disasters. Forbort looked like he was the fat old guy in beer league. Clifton an AHL lifer. Gryz was fine.The defensemen let this team down.
Yes they can and they should.You can’t fire Montgomery but he coached a terrible series
The one glaringly awful call definitely could’ve made a difference. But honestly, they didn’t deserve to win anyway…they were outplayed for large portions of 4 straight home games against a large underdog.The series wasn’t reffed that badly. The Bruins shit down their leg.
Why not? They canned Cassidy after losing a first round series in 7.You can’t fire Montgomery but he coached a terrible series
core has blown a 3-0 series lead, a 3-1 series lead, and went to Game 7 after being up 3-1 twice. Yeah, the core let’s this happen tooThere’s something about this core that just seems to shrivel in big moments. If they can’t win this year they need to blow it up.
“We want to hit singles all night long. We're not looking for home runs.”I'm sure the home run pass is going to hit eventually, guys.
Yeah I don't want to say it, nevertheless believe it, but Bergeron had a pretty rough series. His puck handling was unfortunate.Horrible way for it to end for Bergeron. All world defense absolutely humiliated all playoffs.
Neat. How many goals were off blatant giveaways?The game 6 game winner came 30 seconds after a blatant trip
I mean, I’m not even a hockey guy. Haven’t played anything besides parking lot roller hockey. But the lack of adjustments was obvious to my amateur eye. They got beat by the same issues by the same team for a week and a half.Sure you can. From January on, this team’s goal shifted. Just about every mathematical model didn’t just have them as favourites in this series, but dangerously close to a favourite for the Cup over the field. At no point in the last 200 minutes of hockey did it look like the best team in NHL history (TM) were actually better.
Thank him for the useless new addition to the white banner and send him on his way.
They have been chokers for nearly the entirety of their post-Orr existence. There’s a deep rot in the org that they’ve never shaken.In the last 13 years the Bruins choked a 3-0 series lead and 3-0 G7 lead at home, choked a G6 lead at home in an elimination SCF game without even forcing OT, didn’t even show up for a SCF G7 at home, and now choked as the best regular season team of all time against an 8 seed that barely squeaked in, with a 3-1 series lead, and a lead in the last minute, in G7, at home.
I have no idea how they managed to win in 2011 because they have otherwise wilted in the biggest spots probably more than any other franchise in that time. I guess Thomas being unreal, mostly.
It's possible for both that they played bad and that the refs played a major role to be trueNeat. How many goals were off blatant giveaways?
Refs missed calls. The Bruins played like absolute garbage. I mean, the fucking NESN guys are killing them for playing scared.
Ummm, the Bruins lost the SCF in game 7 at home and barely competed in it.That's THE worst loss in Boston in Boston sports history. All teams.
I don't do hyperbole. That's objectively true in history unless I'm missing something. Pats Super Bowls all neutral, Red Sox have all come on the road, ditto Celtics.
Holy fuck me.

Yeah, 2/3rds of the defense was a disaster at any given time. Just bizarre.Orlov was better tonight, but Carlo was the only competent guy all series. McAvoy and Lindholm were disasters. Forbort looked like he was the fat old guy in beer league. Clifton an AHL lifer. Gryz was fine.
Up 3-1 with 2 home games and they blow it.Up 3-1 with 2 home games and they choke. I’m sorry for the diehards here. Just an epic, yet, predictable collapse. For shame.
This.The defensemen let this team down.
