Pasta has 2 goals and 12 pim, most of his penalities have been lazy or in the O zone. His lazy play is I think just adding to the bruins issues.
monty should be wearing an asbestos suit these days with a kevlar cup and one of those new bowling ball NFL helmets. when everything falls apart, and i think most reasonable fans would say everything has fallen apart with this team, all you have left is the coach. monty is being exposed right now for having nothing. he's used the yelling at the star card. they've done the " everything is great. we're good.

haven't you seen enough ? monty cranks out an NHL regular season for the ages two years ago, but then " coaches " one of the all time epic chokes in NHL history. they could barely beat a limping leafs team in the first round last year and then they get rag dolled again by the panthers. i cannot imagine a worse team in the league right now because they just got bent over by a winless team in a shutout curb stomping, followed by more embarrassing hockey at home. yes, it can only get better, unless it gets worse or stays the same, but monty does not appear to be the coach that brings you to the next level. he's not coaching disciplined play into them. he's not holding anyone accountable. no one is listening. we've seen his playoff performance. monty is not fixing anything. the problems just keep piling up and laying there in a growing mess.
@@Mike___Honcho I’m just not in the camp that getting rid of Monty solves any of their issues. He loses on Saturday I think it’s a different conversation because you don’t want to let the season get away from them
@@bruinsdiehards thank you for the thoughtful reply, mr. die hard. but i have to ask you, do you think monty is doing any actual coaching -- as in teaching ? when one of your special teams is struggling, most coaches will work on it in practice until the chronic mistakes start to clear. it may or may not bear fruit, but at least you will see mistakes being fixed. for example, why does my butt clench up so bad every time i see the bruins try to use that ridiculous PP zone entry when they get to the line, but then pass it back to the last guy, who is moving forward quickly ? it is a recipe for disaster and it doesn't seem to help in any way. all you get is all 9 skaters at the blue line together. but the Bs are especially bad at it, comically so. last night another keystone kops breakaway giveaway. why do we see the Bs make the same mistakes from month to month, to year to year ? either the coach needs to teach it, or they need to forget it. do you see monty bringing even a better Bs team to the conference finals, or a cup win , based upon the back to back playoff disasters the last two years ? i don't think monty could have coached the 76 canadiens ( the team that held the regular season record before the Bs broke it ) to a cup because he really has only a negative history. he wasn't available by mistake. the 76 habs had scotty bowman. he made an awesome team consistently great and juggled big personalities under the hottest klieg lights. switch the two coaches. we pretty much know bowman could help this team because he brought every team he was involved with to the next level. can you see monty doing what scotty did with the 76 habs ? of course not. they would have locked him out of the locker room. what it comes down to is what gives you a reason to expect monty to improve now, when he has no past record of overcoming adversity ? ( and please don't cite the regular season record from two years ago. he had two top goalies, many veterans still at the top of their game, and the front office went all in, mortgaging the future for a cup run. he set the regular season record, beating up on 50 loss teams, and then drove the bus into the ditch in the epic playoff choke. ) i respect your patience with monty, but i've seen enough.
@@Mike___Honcho I don’t know if I can answer that about Monty as I have attended a practice and I have never heard form a player about him unless it’s in the media.
Appreciate you finally acknowledging that Poitras "looks lost out there." Maybe if Fabian Lysell is brought up, (who is a much faster skater) the time in zone possessions will gel better.
Dont worry people, bruins are gonna win against Toronto like they always do and have a better start to the season, nothing to worry about. Bruins are only 8 games into the season
Well said can't disagree with anything you've said here. I couldn't watch last night because it was gf's bday and I was watching the app occasionally and seeing the PPG against just told me it was just more of the same undisciplined play.
I think some of the "star" players need to sit out a game. put McAvovy, Pasta, Zadorov in the press box for a game and maybe that will light a fire under them. I see every game McAvovy is just a turn over machine, or he goes for these big bent over hip checks at the totally wrong time. He tries to play like he is Bobby Orr but just turns over the puck. Pasta 2 goals 6 penalities in 5 games is just bad there is no other words. He is the "star" of the team but refuses to back check, gets caught playing lazy almost every game. His goals have not been anything pretty at all, most have been accidents, when he does get a open chance he doesnt finish.
@@bruinsdiehards 2 goals in 5 games, -3 =/-, 12 PIMs. I know he is scoring but think the team needs a wake up call. pasta's play in the playoffs got him called out by monty, maybe the call out wasnt enough. but that is just my opinion.
@@soup31314 plus minus is truly a stat I don’t use anymore. I’m just saying I’m not sitting the only guy that is getting on the scoresheet at this point. I would sit Marchand, or McAvoy to send a message over Pastrnak
The bruins problems are far too many to list right now. And the whole "lots of new faces" excuse doesn't work anymore. Penalty trouble and turnovers are the most glaring issues (along with both special teams), but you also have lots of guys just flat-out not performing. Coyle, Geekie, Marchand, Brazeau are all off to terrible starts. I'd also even loop Zacha in the bunch. Marchand is definitely starting to show his age, and his recovery timeline from the 3 offseason surgeries are definitely playing a role. While I agree that Monty changing the lines almost every period over the last 9 games doesn't help; I think we are finally at a point where the undeniably poor drafting from Sweeney, and his willingness to trade first round draft picks is finally taking it's toll. Boston has been graded as having the worst prospect pool for at least the 4th year in a row; and if you are going to trade a Vezina winning goaltender (especially to a division rival) the draft pick you get back needs to be higher than mid 20's. The likelihood of that prospect actually hitting is less than 10%. Lastly, I'll say the "leadership" of this team is completely gone. The Bergeron/Chara leadership and willingness to take significantly below market value in order to field a competitive team are gone. Sure, McAvoy and Pasta probably took less than market value, but not nearly to the degree Bergy and Chara did. And then the Swayman contract just proved that most players on the team now are out for themselves. As long as they get paid, they don't care if the team is good; and Bergy was never about that. Each passing year since he retired, the culture of the team is changing for the worse.
You dont mention pasta and his 12 pim in the last 5 games, but instead say he "took a hometown discount". Pasta signed for 11 million, him and McAvovy both held out to get more cash then what they "hometown discount" was. Bergy was a great center but also he didnt know when to step back and take a seat when he was injuried and cost the bruins I believe at least 2 cups.
Too early to panic and firing Montgomery isn’t going to turn this around. Salary spent on Zadarov wouldn’t been better spent on offense. The salaries invested in just McAvoy, Libndholm, Zadarov and Carlo are too heavy. I think Sweeney might want a mulligan going back to July.
what offensive game???the bruins are finally seeing that offense is the most important-not defense!also,the lines are bogus.it's time to bring up beecher to at least the 3rd line because of his play&speed and demote geekie to the 4th line.i'm sure they're regretting ever trading tyler seguin.there's your no. 1 center.hated that trade and could have drafted sniper jason robertson who i knew about and would have drafted but with the 18th pick they took yet another defenseman.you could have traded down and gotten another high pick too but the management has no brains.i'm a bruins fan and am shocked and hope they don't make the playoffs and draft a scorer and sweeney won't be able to trade our future away.oh and brazeau should be on the 2nd line!-i like your channel a lot!!!keep up the good work!
Simple, you can't score from the Box. More discipline needed, and stable lines. Hey what do i know as a UK hockey nut but I see the same in my team (Ken Hodge Jr played for us in 97)
I think you hit it directly on the head. There’s no “chemistry” on these lines (except the 4th line). If Montgomery constantly changes the lines throughout the game you're not going to get the chemistry needed. Other than a few new additions, these guys have played together and succeeded. I cant figure it out. At least Zadorov didn't have a penalty. Marchand isn't the player he was a few years ago. He's still a solid player but, i wonder if "time" is catching up with him? he is 36.
Too many penalties with a pk that can't help the goaltenders. Defensive zone turnovers are a terrible problem that needs to be solved quickly. Agree that Lohrei should have been in the lineup to move the puck. Basically just playing bad hockey and the coaching staff and players need to figure it out quickly or else some big changes need to happen. Either a coaching change or big changes to the lineup
Lohrei was taken out because he passed the puck to the opponents more than to the Bruins the last game he played. I'm a fan of Lohrei but I don't think he is ready for the bigs. You need to play both ends of the rink.
Bruins are 4 points behind first place Panthers with Panthers a game up. Let’s not turn into a bunch of Leafs fans - yet. Let’s see what Saturday brings us. Sometimes the groove is hard to find and there was a lot of “distraction” early in the pre-season. Focus B’s, focus.
I wonder if after the hot starts of last two years the B’s were thinking it was going to be status quo, an easy fast start. Mentally maybe they were lacks. In any case Monty job is absolutely in jeopardy, as it should be. The bucks stops with him. Still not worried. However the needle is starting to move.
they are going to run swayman into the ground. boy do they look bad. endless stupid penalties and horrible special teams. very bad passing. they keep dusting off pucks instead of just whacking it at the net. thats how shit goes in.
Too early to bag Monty, this is the last year of his contract. September Don reported they started talking about Monty's extension, and it's likely going to be handled the same as Marchand 's negotiation - behind closed doors. Give him a minute with this team. He was a major risk to begin with. I won't get into it. Some of us think Monty's just keeping the head coach seat warm until Joe Sacco takes over... ? That would be the natural progression for Sacco's career. And hes a Massachusetts guy. I dunno? 🤷 I think Monty was exactly what the doctor ordered when he came in. don't know how it's going in the locker room now. I would imagine a different personality has revealed itself. Yet talking about firing Monty, a recent Jack Adams award winner, at this point in the season is a bit premature. Unless there's something else going on of which fans are not aware.
@@bruinsdiehards Jack Adams the kiss of death? Really?! Oh my.... We've seen trends like the Presidents Cup being a curse... But I didn't know that about the Adams award? Huh? 🤔 this is the insider stuff I like to get from you.
Again, this isn't about Monty, its about player performance on the ice. We're seeing a team that simply doesn't have the skill or grit to compete successfully. They're big, but play small .. and they are slow. Swiss Cheese Swayman is showing why he doesn't deserve an elite Goalie's salary. There were some very stoppable goals last night. He looked terrible.
I needed that Jamie Benn laugh this morning… Pasta needs to be a healthy scratch for a game just to send a message he’s taking so many stupid penalties.
It's not really Monty's fault he was given a team of very large players who are very slow and because there's been turnovers the slow players are not capable of getting back to defend and they just end up running around like chickens with their heads cut off this is more on Sweeney and Neely. Great they have a huge team that is built for the playoffs. But they are too slow to win games in the regular season to even get to the playoffs
Try being a fan of last place Leafs. Berube and all his bluster has hired new assistants and Leafs are near the bottom with the PK and PP. Should be a fun game on Saturday, Leafs and Bruiins. Battle of the "Booby Bowl"
I live in Toronto so I see my friends pain of being Leafs fans so I know all to well what it is like to cheer for a franchise that will always let you down
@@bruinsdiehards their play improved a bit as the game went on and they seemed more aware still to many penalties but compared with previous games 2nd and mostly 3rd they seemed to me to have the best game play yet but still have far to go to be my beloved Bruins
For the love of god, STOP switching the line combinations! These guys are basically playing on a new team every game. Pick the lines and finally say “This is our team” and be done with it. Let the players get used to each other. Switching a guy from line to line during a game isn’t going to do much. The game was manageable until the second period when Swayman was in a shooting gallery. They played better hockey when they stayed out of the box. The penalty kill and turnovers are going to doom this team unless “the details” are cleaned up. I’m not used to seeing this team so lifeless on the ice and looking dead inside when they’re doing media interviews. Wins make everything better and the Toronto game will, in my opinion, be the make or break for this team and Montgomery. They’re not really chasing their division rivals quite yet but this game is must win if they want to turn it around.
How do you get someone who is guaranteed 40k a game to skate/play well? Maybe we can see if they can win 3 in a row before getting paid again? This team is done for!
@@bruinsdiehards no i know that. and that’s the hard part. is monty is the one who’s job is on the line when it’s not his fault and hiring a new guy might do more harm than good
I am finding myself shutting the tv down when they get behind. In previous years as a fan you thought the team has a chance to tie and win. Not this season so far. I do think the buck stops with Montgomery. The line changes need to STOP! I feel Swayman is trying to find his way and is a little lost without his side kick. The DEFENSIVE PAIRS in front of him have been terrible! Diehard fan from NH
Well, if Monty is the problem, how different was he from Bruce Cassidy? Are these Bruins a bunch of snowflakes that go fetal and suck their thumbs when a coach admonishes them?!! Well if it's the coach, let's get on with it. (Do we all remeber when Paul Maurice was ripping his entire bench during the playoff)? They got over it, didn't they? Is Monty the new Babcock, perhaps? NOW, I think Pasta is a nice guy. But Idon't care if he gets 50 goals this year, if he's causing 75 against, it's a problem! Send him to Providence for a couple of months and give Tyler Johnson a chance. Having sdsaid that it seems like the entire team is ina funk from the get-go. Fix it!
Let me know what you thought of the game and is Montgomery on the hot seat?

Lohrei was taken out because he passed the puck to the opponents more than to the Bruins the last game he played. I'm a fan of Lohrei but I don't think he is ready for the bigs. You need to play both ends of the rink.
Bruins are 4 points behind first place Panthers with Panthers a game up. Let’s not turn into a bunch of Leafs fans - yet. Let’s see what Saturday brings us. Sometimes the groove is hard to find and there was a lot of “distraction” early in the pre-season. Focus B’s, focus.
They win tonight it will be turnaround point
I wonder if after the hot starts of last two years the B’s were thinking it was going to be status quo, an easy fast start. Mentally maybe they were lacks. In any case Monty job is absolutely in jeopardy, as it should be. The bucks stops with him. Still not worried. However the needle is starting to move.
That could be it that they thought they would coming out the gate hot
3 goals in the last 9+ periods is concerning, especially with a PK that can't keep the puck out of the net.
Very concerning
they are going to run swayman into the ground. boy do they look bad. endless stupid penalties and horrible special teams. very bad passing. they keep dusting off pucks instead of just whacking it at the net. thats how shit goes in.
Yup they look lost
Penalties that led to goals. 3 times, I think. Unacceptable!
You’re not wrong
Too much player turnover in three seasons. Management not Monty responsible for talent quality.
Pain.
Could be worse
Too early to bag Monty, this is the last year of his contract. September Don reported they started talking about Monty's extension, and it's likely going to be handled the same as Marchand 's negotiation - behind closed doors.
Give him a minute with this team.
He was a major risk to begin with. I won't get into it.
Some of us think Monty's just keeping the head coach seat warm until Joe Sacco takes over... ?
That would be the natural progression for Sacco's career.
And hes a Massachusetts guy.
I dunno? 🤷
I think Monty was exactly what the doctor ordered when he came in.
don't know how it's going in the locker room now.
I would imagine a different personality has revealed itself.
Yet talking about firing Monty, a recent Jack Adams award winner, at this point in the season is a bit premature.
Unless there's something else going on of which fans are not aware.
It’s interesting you bring up the Jack Adams. A lot of coaches around the league find that trophy to be the kiss of death
@@bruinsdiehards Jack Adams the kiss of death?
Really?!
Oh my.... We've seen trends like the Presidents Cup being a curse...
But I didn't know that about the Adams award?
Huh?
🤔
this is the insider stuff I like to get from you.
@@TheFoolintherainn go look up how many times the Jack Adams winner either got fired the next year or two years after winning. Its carzy
One thought - the skill & talent gap between the Bs and the Stars is huge
Grand Canyon
Almost seems that the Bruins, at times, stop playing for the guy.
I wouldn’t go that far but the look terrible right now
Again, this isn't about Monty, its about player performance on the ice. We're seeing a team that simply doesn't have the skill or grit to compete successfully. They're big, but play small .. and they are slow. Swiss Cheese Swayman is showing why he doesn't deserve an elite Goalie's salary. There were some very stoppable goals last night. He looked terrible.
As I said I don’t think they should fire him but if this keeps up the NHL will NHL and the coach always is the one that takes the fall
@@bruinsdiehards Yep, and the same cast of players remain.
@@erudite1579 they will never learn. Don’t forget Cam somehow will never be fired
8 MILLION!!
8.24 actually
@@bruinsdiehards yes but it doesn’t have the same ring as I yeah it at the screen
I needed that Jamie Benn laugh this morning… Pasta needs to be a healthy scratch for a game just to send a message he’s taking so many stupid penalties.
I’m glad someone found it funny. I couldn’t help myself
@@bruinsdiehards I would of made the joke too lol
Dallas is elite.
Boston is looking very average not the 65 win team that's for sure.
Yes Dallas is elite
It's not really Monty's fault he was given a team of very large players who are very slow and because there's been turnovers the slow players are not capable of getting back to defend and they just end up running around like chickens with their heads cut off this is more on Sweeney and Neely. Great they have a huge team that is built for the playoffs. But they are too slow to win games in the regular season to even get to the playoffs
Oh I’m with you and I doubt Monty gets fired yet but he will be the first to go if this continues unfortunately
Try being a fan of last place Leafs. Berube and all his bluster has hired new assistants and Leafs are near the bottom with the PK and PP. Should be a fun game on Saturday, Leafs and Bruiins. Battle of the "Booby Bowl"
I live in Toronto so I see my friends pain of being Leafs fans so I know all to well what it is like to cheer for a franchise that will always let you down
@@bruinsdiehards Well, I'm old enough to remember four Stanley Cups. Can't remember where I put my wallet or keys, but I can remember the 1960s.
@@keithball6480 that is hilarious
They do better I thought but still need to improve
What did you like about last night?
@@bruinsdiehards their play improved a bit as the game went on and they seemed more aware still to many penalties but compared with previous games 2nd and mostly 3rd they seemed to me to have the best game play yet but still have far to go to be my beloved Bruins
@@edsmall3725 the 2nd was a nightmare but yes they played a lot better in the third
For the love of god, STOP switching the line combinations! These guys are basically playing on a new team every game. Pick the lines and finally say “This is our team” and be done with it. Let the players get used to each other. Switching a guy from line to line during a game isn’t going to do much. The game was manageable until the second period when Swayman was in a shooting gallery. They played better hockey when they stayed out of the box. The penalty kill and turnovers are going to doom this team unless “the details” are cleaned up. I’m not used to seeing this team so lifeless on the ice and looking dead inside when they’re doing media interviews. Wins make everything better and the Toronto game will, in my opinion, be the make or break for this team and Montgomery. They’re not really chasing their division rivals quite yet but this game is must win if they want to turn it around.
I’m with you about Saturday. It’s a very big game
How do you get someone who is guaranteed 40k a game to skate/play well? Maybe we can see if they can win 3 in a row before getting paid again? This team is done for!
Honestly don’t know at this point. They keep saying the right thing but I don’t see it on the ice
All i know is i performed like that at work id be fired!
@@jonathanschadenfreude9603 100% agree unless you work in Politics lol
this isn’t monty’s fault because he keeps TRYING and doing his job the way he has the last two years. it’s on the players 100%
You can’t fire the players though. I’m not saying fire Monty but if this continues it will happen wether we agree or not
@@bruinsdiehards no i know that. and that’s the hard part. is monty is the one who’s job is on the line when it’s not his fault and hiring a new guy might do more harm than good
@@char7607 that is true
I am finding myself shutting the tv down when they get behind. In previous years as a fan you thought the team has a chance to tie and win. Not this season so far. I do think the buck stops with Montgomery. The line changes need to STOP! I feel Swayman is trying to find his way and is a little lost without his side kick. The DEFENSIVE PAIRS in front of him have been terrible!
Diehard fan from NH
The whole team looks lost
He shouldn’t be the team is hot garbage. Monty hasn’t lost the room the room has lost Monty
I don’t he should either as I said in the video but this is the NhL and the coach always takes the fall
D R A M A
?
Sounds too much like Kamala
What does?
Well, if Monty is the problem, how different was he from Bruce Cassidy? Are these Bruins a bunch of snowflakes that go fetal and suck their thumbs when a coach admonishes them?!! Well if it's the coach, let's get on with it. (Do we all remeber when Paul Maurice was ripping his entire bench during the playoff)? They got over it, didn't they? Is Monty the new Babcock, perhaps? NOW, I think Pasta is a nice guy. But Idon't care if he gets 50 goals this year, if he's causing 75 against, it's a problem! Send him to Providence for a couple of months and give Tyler Johnson a chance. Having sdsaid that it seems like the entire team is ina funk from the get-go. Fix it!
Well they waived Tufte today so a Johnson signing could be next
@@bruinsdiehards That gives both players opportunity. Appreciate your work. Keep it up!
@@omgaud thank you
Moving Trash around is still going to give you the same results Trash is Trash
So pathetic. Hopefully management starts taking a hard look at some of these players. They need to do some trading.
