when you've got no talent, you have to go max effort to win. McAvoy looked to step up in the past two games. Him and Swayman have to be the strong good signs. Hopefully the Bruins can re-sign Swayman and the bad blood from the Arbitration last year didn't poison the water between them.
More money this year, tons more money the following year. I'm still in the camp that wants to see new GM and new coach. They overachieved this year, all things considered.

Bs outshot 42-18. Last game 33-17. Before that 33-15. Bruins team this year is simply not good enough. They're not good enough, and they're terribly coached. I think as the new core comes on in the next few years, we've got to find a coach that can keep some discipline but not keep a war in the dressing room with the players like Cassidy used to. There has to be someone better than this guy letting too many men penalties and D line switches giving breakaways so often.

The goalie interference not being called is the most nonsensical thing I’ve ever seen Agreed. It's one of the worst calls I've seen in all of sports.

Yes, officiating is some of the worst we've ever seen. Full Stop.
However, I've got to say that watching these games where I thought we were even lucky to make it this far due to a terrible GM suite, and I'm done with Montgomery. He's not in control of this team in the playoffs. He wasn't last year, and he's terrible this year too. This team is so badly managed--they constantly are giving up extra men on the ice penalties and make horrible D line changes and almost give up goals so often. He's got to be replaced this off season. To be fair, I think this is also a combination of bad leadership on the team as well that is exacerbating it.

This is all gravy to me folks Ugly 2nd and 3rd (so far) though. Montgomery really let them hear it, don’t see that often Sadly, this series is the result of Sweeney mismanagement for years and years. Just have to let time pass and hope the team recovers somehow. Need to let old guys retire, etc.

and again. can't clear his man. at least he was there this time. McAvoy doing his best Forbort impression. Sweet. Reminder to self: this is not their year, no matter how great Swayman was doing before this game. Be happy with one series win and look forward to the future.

This Bruins team is terrible. Is this game 7? Someone should let the Bruins know.

www.capfriendly.com/teams/bruinsIt's going to be a couple years until enough money comes off the books, and we get draft picks again to even START turning this ship around and adding around the core. I'd love for them to win as much as any fan, but they don't have the team for a deep run. Getting to the 2nd or third round was BEST case scenario this year. Save your tears.

Yeah, they overperformed this year, which was obvious in the first third of the season. 10 mill comes off the books this offseason. This was an off year, they did well, but the plan had to be to put of a decent season due to Don selling everything and mortgaging the future for years. Have to survive a couple more years and get some kids going to reinfused the core. Marchand is in his twilight, and so many of the other lines are patchwork at best. Could be a couple years before we see a team ready to make a deep playoff run.

is Tatum on Gordon? Is he sleeping on him like this, or is it someone else? Gordon is just eating them alive at the rim. I would love to see replays of who was covering Gordon for all those put backs in the 4th. I know Tatum was covering once in the corner and he stood there and watched Gordon go right by him for the put back dunk. i want to see fire in the kids eyes, the kind of fire that has him start doing everything, not ball watching with that deer in the headlights look on his face when his man runs past him to the rim and puts one back in. He still looks 19 too often. KILLER. INSTINCT. Get some ffs.

Nuggets are going to win again this year. in their head to heads it certainly looks that way. Tatum is still not a winner in the last minute. He gets tight and makes bed decisions. Those two fall away shots that cost them Cleveland and the first Denver game were terrible shot selection choices he only makes when he gets tight. I don't know if he'll outgrow that or not. It is concerning though after so many years in the league.

if this is a preview of the finals, I hope KP sits on the bench every minute jokic is on the court. If he can't play D on the big, he's useless out there.

KP went ice cold about 2/3 of the way through the third. Jrue also bricking everything. What is wrong with them catching the ball tonight. I've seen half a dozen turnovers from literally missing an easy catch. It's like watching little kids "watch the ball into your hands before you move." so disappointing to not show up for a big game.

I can see "hack a Jaylen" being a thing in the playoffs if he keeps missing FTs like this. Then he steals - and can't hit the layup (because he dribbled into traffic). And....somehow we are only down by 6. Strange game. i just had that thought before reading your post. Hack a Jaylen. Ugh! Hate this. Grew up watching Larry bird at 90% every year.

will Jaylen ever commit to improving at the foul line or is this him for his entire career? Putrid...

Tatum still chokes in the big games. So depressing. He gets tight, and takes horribly ill advised forced shots.

So much whining about LAD. Call me when they win a real World Series. Better yet: I give you LAD and you give me the field for the 2024 WS. Straight up. You taking that? I don't think people are upset about the Dodgers potentially winning a ton of World Series rings in the next few years, I think people are just upset that a team can sign all of the top players and apparently the financials just don't matter. You can argue whether it's good or bad for the game, but it is frustrating that any time a player says "I like LA", you just know that he's signing with the Dodgers.
Could the Red Sox shell out 325 over 12 years? Sure, but players are clearly choosing LA for other reasons, and the Dodgers don't seem to be swayed by the luxury tax at all.
Regardless of who wins the World Series, baseball is less fun when one team buys up all the stars in a single off-season.
An entire system attempting to keep any vague semblance of competitive balance in the sport has been negotiated and re-negotiated over decades now. The Dodgers are breaking that system with their current actions. The sport is broken with this most recent trash move. They should have something massive done to their organization like forfeiting their top ten picks for five years, and their entire front office and ownership should be suspended for five years. The intent of the CBA is clear. If a team blows up their draft budget, there are repercussions. If they exceed the tax thresholds there are repercussions. There damn well ought to be repercussions for colluding with a player to circumvent competitive balance design--it undermines the entire sport. ps, Ohtani is a loser. I've lost all respect for him. He tried to join Trout to make a super team and failed, now he wants to undermine the entire sport of baseball to get a ring. Zero integrity.

Like i said before. Ohtani deferment was for YY. Who's picking us over the Dodgers. Nobody. Talent and Weather alone.They have studs everywhere. We don't even have a handful and they are willing to pay top dollar just makes it unfair at this point. I'm inclined to agree about there being an unfair quality it seems like the league office needs to address. The current stacking of talent via deferment is clearly thwarting the intended balance the CBA is supposed to maintain. Feels like the Dodgers should be punished severely.
