Lysell could be what we need - at least we need to try him out longtime. His speed could be something that works know when we have got an better structure defense to start the offensive with. We need to get the transition faster between zones with our type of structure and game plan.
Let’s hope Lindholm plays awesome in the 4 Country Tournament and becomes tradeable. Need to move him and get that contract off the Bruins books. Sad but Lindholm is a virtual ghost on the ice and non factor. His play reflects his recent record performance trending downwards. No idea why Sweeney didn’t see he was trending downwards?
My dad being a big Bruins fan since the Orr era. Goaltending is poop this year paid a big contract to Swayman and so far he's not worth it (his statement) Pastnak isn't playing his dependable stat producing games.
The problem is not Elias even if he don't produce points - Pasta is an bigger problem - I'm so frustrated that he get to low in 80% of his time in his office. He scored when he was higher placed. I cant understand that no one see this and change it. It is to easy for the goalie when he is that low - just move over to the side and Paste can't hit from where the goalie is coming. How did he score - high right from where the goalie come from and why could he do it - because he had an higher positions. This will also make space for the bumper guy who ever that is ... Now the top defender don't need to really care about Pasta...
The Bruins have failed to win more than 1 playoff round 8 of the last 9 years and the team has less overall scoring talent than it has since Sweeney took the job They've been about a .500 hockey team since last January and they haven't been able to score much at 5x5 in two years They're now 5-9 vs the playoff teams this year with a -25 goal differential Poweplay and the PK alg with the 5x5 scoring are bottom 5 in the league No, the Bruins aren't real Cup contenders and that's been painfully obvious for quite some time Brazeau & Geekie are in their Top 6 E. Lindholm is a 2c on his best night Zacha is a soft 2c that's gets roasted in the post season Lohrei & Zadoeov can't play defense worth a crap No offensive or defensive depth Their $8.5M cry baby goalie is one of the worst in the NHL this year It's not even close to a conversation This is not a Cup contending and this ride should shut down until it's renovated properly Adding some Tyler Toffoli rental won't change their fate It'll just piss more draft capital away in Don Sweeneys pursuit of saving his ass and job They also can't play NYI DET MTL & the other NHL dumpster fires every game 7-3 under Sacco However, 2 of the 3 losses were to the only 2 playoff teams in those 10 games & the other was to pathetic PIT Outscored 10-1 combined vs the 2 good teams VAN & WPG Talent Problem. Lack thereof They're still trying to win with Don Sweeney's proven method of playoff failure Goaltending & defensive structure first, strength down the middle & above average special teams Even with an in their primes Bergeron Krejci Chara etc .. that low talent offense, trying to win playoff games 1-0 or 2-1 approach did't even work with that elite talent in the post season Proof? 8 of the last 9 years they've failed to win more than 1 playoff round Now they're still using that exact same approach when the offensive talent has fallen off a cliff in recent years? Yikes! And the results have been, to the surprise of no one paying attention, largely the same... They can beat the average to bad teams most nights in the regular season However, the good NHL teams, especially in the post season, hammer them because the Bruins simply can't score at a pace to keep up with them Versus the NHL's good teams they often get behind and have to quickly abandon their defensive structure and attempt to win the game 0-0, this being the only way they can win games And once they get behind a good NHL team, that's when things really fall apart on the Bruins most times. The getting behind also sees them chasing the puck around and possession more and that leads to even more penalties for their terrible penalty killing unit to kill off why they put even more pressure on their goaltending to bail them out It has happened literally every game when they've played a team within the current playoff structure. Note, they are now something like 5-9 versus teams within the current playoff structure and have something like a -25 goal differential in those same 10 games The power play and penalty kill are still in the bottom 5 of the league as is their 5x5 scoring The effort, execution as well as both the defense and goaltending can play a bit better and when they do, the Bruins can squeak by the average & bad teams most nights That's what has happened under Joe Sacco in his first 10 games Better execution & effort beat the bad & average teams But they're not just losing to, they're still getting hammered by the NHL's good teams largely because they can't score and vs the good NHL teams their defensive warts become even more glaring But even when that stuff is going well for them, the lack of scoring talent burns them almost every game versus a good NHL team time & time again and that's not going to change by adding some Tyler Toffoli rental type at the deadline More Proof? The Bruins have up 7, 5x5 goals to WPG while scoring none Yet the Bruins actually had far more high danger chances at 5x5 having had 14 versus WPG's 5 The difference? Boston has a crap ton of low talent guys taking those shots Great they get into position to make those plays in the offensive zone but the low talent scorers still can't score It's called lack of scoring talent Kind of obvious when Morgan Geekie and Justin Brazeau are in your Top 6 every night and your next best Top 6!guys are all bottom 6 types too in Tyler Johnson, Frederic, Coyle and the likes They should be sellers at the deadline and the schedule in both December & January, where it's much tougher makes me believe they will be This Bruins team can't even play .500 versus the NHLs good teams and that won't change this year Cassidy learned that all Don Sweeney built teams can do is beat up the bad teams in the regular season Which is then followed by their low talent offense getting throttled every post season against the NHLs good teams who try every night in the post season Montgomery learned this as well So will Sacco When will the legions of Bruins Homers and Don Sweeney Apologists learn this? Or the Jacobs Family for that matter? Probably never I'm guessing
They need to totally blow up this team starting with Neely and Sweeney. They fired a great coach with a great record with the B's. They sign a second string goalie to a $66M contract and the guy is a bum. Marchy and Pasta are really underperforming. They need to get rid of Carlo, Wotherspoon, Coyle. Bench McAvoy he's playing peewee hockey. Give the " C " to Pasta and maybe he'll wake up and then let Marchy get back to his irritating self driving other teams crazy. That's for starters. I am impressed with Brazeau so far and Korposolo playing better than Swayman by far! Blow it up!
Capital P for Pretenders! They beat the bottom feeders and get blown out by the top teams, several times this year. They need to move all the assets they can and move on from Coyle, Frederic, etc., need a new GM too but that only happens once they stop selling out games. Let’s not kid ourselves about that fact too. This organization is overdue for a major rebuild, but we need new leadership at the top to do that and have it be successful. Otherwise we will just see more of a bunch of bottom six guys playing on the top lines (pathetic!) and our FA singing be a bust…….again.
The bruins could be okay if they just had special teams average teams can be okay and survive but they have nothing somehow they are treading water but
If we do make the playoffs we are gonna get smoked. But hey....What's new? Face it....Lindholm, Zadorov and Swayman not exactly helpin' are they? We are mid. Go BRUINS.
Old Boston hockey player here, that was embarrassing and humiliating, cruising around in circles, minimal effort, losing 50/50 bisquet battles. Booo. This is the first time in 60 years of watching the B's I've never Booed and really meant it. Pathetic. 🇺🇸🏒

Kasterlic is a hidden gem for the bruins.keep it rollin
The only bright spot so far
Love this podcast. At least the guys know and cover the Bruins and their history.
Well said!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
they're not even pretenders
Lysell could be what we need - at least we need to try him out longtime. His speed could be something that works know when we have got an better structure defense to start the offensive with. We need to get the transition faster between zones with our type of structure and game plan.
Last night I watched the first period of the Bruins Jets game.They are no match for a good team.
Lindholm is what he is. It’s been 30 games plus his last year in Vancouver. I say find some way to get rid of him.
Fuck yes, get him out of here.
Let’s hope Lindholm plays awesome in the 4 Country Tournament and becomes tradeable. Need to move him and get that contract off the Bruins books. Sad but Lindholm is a virtual ghost on the ice and non factor. His play reflects his recent record performance trending downwards. No idea why Sweeney didn’t see he was trending downwards?
The Bruins are absolute pretenders.
And we let em off the Hook !!!
The Boston Bruins should fire Don Sweeney!!!
Is Sweeney why Coyle is on pace for a 24 pts season? Or why McAvoy is absolutely brutal? Swayman? Zacha? Elias?
My dad being a big Bruins fan since the Orr era. Goaltending is poop this year paid a big contract to Swayman and so far he's not worth it (his statement) Pastnak isn't playing his dependable stat producing games.
Quenneville
Yes please
The organization, it's fans, and Boston sports writers will throw a woke fit if they hire Q.
Even if the bruins with against a good team, do you feel confident with them playing a 7 game series against them?
The problem is not Elias even if he don't produce points - Pasta is an bigger problem - I'm so frustrated that he get to low in 80% of his time in his office. He scored when he was higher placed. I cant understand that no one see this and change it. It is to easy for the goalie when he is that low - just move over to the side and Paste can't hit from where the goalie is coming. How did he score - high right from where the goalie come from and why could he do it - because he had an higher positions. This will also make space for the bumper guy who ever that is ... Now the top defender don't need to really care about Pasta...
Damn everyone is always so bad in providence, maybe they should send them somewhere else
Middle of the pack
The Bruins have failed to win more than 1 playoff round 8 of the last 9 years and the team has less overall scoring talent than it has since Sweeney took the job
They've been about a .500 hockey team since last January and they haven't been able to score much at 5x5 in two years
They're now 5-9 vs the playoff teams this year with a -25 goal differential
Poweplay and the PK alg with the 5x5 scoring are bottom 5 in the league
No, the Bruins aren't real Cup contenders and that's been painfully obvious for quite some time
Brazeau & Geekie are in their Top 6
E. Lindholm is a 2c on his best night
Zacha is a soft 2c that's gets roasted in the post season
Lohrei & Zadoeov can't play defense worth a crap
No offensive or defensive depth
Their $8.5M cry baby goalie is one of the worst in the NHL this year
It's not even close to a conversation
This is not a Cup contending and this ride should shut down until it's renovated properly
Adding some Tyler Toffoli rental won't change their fate
It'll just piss more draft capital away in Don Sweeneys pursuit of saving his ass and job
They also can't play NYI DET MTL & the other NHL dumpster fires every game
7-3 under Sacco
However, 2 of the 3 losses were to the only 2 playoff teams in those 10 games & the other was to pathetic PIT
Outscored 10-1 combined vs the 2 good teams VAN & WPG
Talent Problem. Lack thereof
They're still trying to win with Don Sweeney's proven method of playoff failure
Goaltending & defensive structure first, strength down the middle & above average special teams
Even with an in their primes Bergeron Krejci Chara etc .. that low talent offense, trying to win playoff games 1-0 or 2-1 approach did't even work with that elite talent in the post season
Proof?
8 of the last 9 years they've failed to win more than 1 playoff round
Now they're still using that exact same approach when the offensive talent has fallen off a cliff in recent years?
Yikes!
And the results have been, to the surprise of no one paying attention, largely the same...
They can beat the average to bad teams most nights in the regular season
However, the good NHL teams, especially in the post season, hammer them because the Bruins simply can't score at a pace to keep up with them
Versus the NHL's good teams they often get behind and have to quickly abandon their defensive structure and attempt to win the game 0-0, this being the only way they can win games
And once they get behind a good NHL team, that's when things really fall apart on the Bruins most times.
The getting behind also sees them chasing the puck around and possession more and that leads to even more penalties for their terrible penalty killing unit to kill off why they put even more pressure on their goaltending to bail them out
It has happened literally every game when they've played a team within the current playoff structure.
Note, they are now something like 5-9 versus teams within the current playoff structure and have something like a -25 goal differential in those same 10 games
The power play and penalty kill are still in the bottom 5 of the league as is their 5x5 scoring
The effort, execution as well as both the defense and goaltending can play a bit better and when they do, the Bruins can squeak by the average & bad teams most nights
That's what has happened under Joe Sacco in his first 10 games
Better execution & effort beat the bad & average teams
But they're not just losing to, they're still getting hammered by the NHL's good teams largely because they can't score and vs the good NHL teams their defensive warts become even more glaring
But even when that stuff is going well for them, the lack of scoring talent burns them almost every game versus a good NHL team time & time again and that's not going to change by adding some Tyler Toffoli rental type at the deadline
More Proof? The Bruins have up 7, 5x5 goals to WPG while scoring none
Yet the Bruins actually had far more high danger chances at 5x5 having had 14 versus WPG's 5
The difference? Boston has a crap ton of low talent guys taking those shots
Great they get into position to make those plays in the offensive zone but the low talent scorers still can't score
It's called lack of scoring talent
Kind of obvious when Morgan Geekie and Justin Brazeau are in your Top 6 every night and your next best Top 6!guys are all bottom 6 types too in Tyler Johnson, Frederic, Coyle and the likes
They should be sellers at the deadline and the schedule in both December & January, where it's much tougher makes me believe they will be
This Bruins team can't even play .500 versus the NHLs good teams and that won't change this year
Cassidy learned that all Don Sweeney built teams can do is beat up the bad teams in the regular season
Which is then followed by their low talent offense getting throttled every post season against the NHLs good teams who try every night in the post season
Montgomery learned this as well
So will Sacco
When will the legions of Bruins Homers and Don Sweeney Apologists learn this?
Or the Jacobs Family for that matter?
Probably never I'm guessing
What happened to Brandon Carlo ? He must be playing with an injury, he’s not this bad, is he ?
100 %
They need to totally blow up this team starting with Neely and Sweeney. They fired a great coach with a great record with the B's. They sign a second string goalie to a $66M contract and the guy is a bum. Marchy and Pasta are really underperforming. They need to get rid of Carlo, Wotherspoon, Coyle. Bench McAvoy he's playing peewee hockey. Give the " C " to Pasta and maybe he'll wake up and then let Marchy get back to his irritating self driving other teams crazy. That's for starters.

We are mid. Go BRUINS.
Bad and boring. Luckily i can watch other teams.
Old Boston hockey player here, that was embarrassing and humiliating, cruising around in circles, minimal effort, losing 50/50 bisquet battles. Booo. This is the first time in 60 years of watching the B's I've never Booed and really meant it. Pathetic. 🇺🇸🏒
