They need to find a backup goalie, hard to believe they thought coming into the season with this guy as the backup was a good idea.

Next practice, they should just make him go back and forth across his crease for the entire fucking practice.

Guys. I know you're angry. But there's nothing he could have done on that last one.

This is really the first game we can really blame 100% on a backup goalie who might play 15 games this season.

Let's have some perspective.

The goaltending has been bad tonight but you gotta bury more then two against a last place team with your back up going on the road. The problem is still lack of finish on this team.

They saved only $250K by singing Johnson instead of Khudobin. Not remotely worth it.
FWIW, the story is Khudobin wasn't signing here for 850K like he did with Carolina. He wanted more coin in exchange for being behind Rask.

And Khudobin has been out all season. Also - probably would not have signed here, as he was looking to go somewhere he might have had a chance to start.

It wasn't happening.

Bruins would have been better off playing the entire period with an empty net.

And a shot at a starting gig if an oft injured Cam Ward got injured again. He wasn't re-signing here.
 
You're right, I'm venting.

thats fine, but you got to get sonething better than Johnson. I'm sure there was someone available who at least had some experience and played an adequate game in goal at the NHL level

It doesn't matter if he had signed with the Bruins for the league minimum. He's been injured for all but two games this season.

The Bruins would be exactly where they are now.

Difference tonight was in net. Miller was outstanding, Johnson sucked. Sucks pissing those two points away against an AHL team.
