Devastating loss. Very sloppy and not good enough on the PK, obviously.
But we were still the better team. A little bad luck and some terrible officiating.

When it's this over the top, right or wrong, you have to question the integrity of the entire league. It is a logical assumption even if wrong. |

Bergeron hasn't looked right except maybe one game in the playoffs. Something is again wrong with him. Which begs the question--is he capable at this age, in this game, to play healthy? Seems like we get about 10% of Bergeron in the playoffs at this point in his career.
Marchand and Pasta looked good tonight, but it almost felt like Coyle was their center.
Krecji finally woke up, but now Hall is hurt or distracted. What he was bringing to the team is now missing.
Third line and fourth line, basically vanished.
I really wanted to see this team get one more or at least a finals with the core and choke one more away like they did against the bhawks and blues, but at this point, it looks like it's time to consider life after this core. Doubt they're signing Krecji this offseason or rask for big money, which means they're probably gone. Payroll locked into virtually worthless coyle. Trying to build around Pasta, McAvoy and Swayman is going to take awhile...I'll hope for a win Wednesday, but I'm not expecting one. And Cassidy, while the sort of Terry Francona type who inherited a good core and kept it running, can't seem to figure out this current puzzle. Granted, his pieces are extremely limited.

After the Ref being fired for the hot mic, how can the league not be under fire? This is not a "one bad cop" scenario. The refs clearly hear that stuff from their colleagues all the time and are fine with it. It's a systematic problem within the league. |

I don't think there's a conspiracy happening, but if you are that bad, and appearing to tilt things to favor the coach who just whined, then you deserve whatever criticism you get. |

Time to start Swayman in game 6 Yes. Tough spot for the kid, but it has to be done. Rask looked like he couldn't move out there. |

Too much time and space given out from our D-men last night. Bruins need to clean it up in the greasy area or it will be off to the golf course for our boys.

Rask starting. Ugh. He looked really bad the other night and I don't believe the back issues (seems clear that's what it was/has been) are going to improve significantly in 48 hours.
This feels like one of those situations where a coach throws away his season to "stick with my guy". Hope not.

Overdue for an appearance from playoff Kuraly. I'm thinking a Goal from him and one from Coyle or DeBrusk.

OMG, they called a penalty on NY! The leg white earlier they didn't care about, but now they called something.
Amazing.

Dirty MF.
But of course no call. You can almost hear the refs thinking "Well, we called two on them already...."

Ever wanted to see a team that just quits? Here they are.
3 unforced errors in the second, 3 gift goals. They want to be done with this season. Objectively I can't blame them, it was probably a horrible schedule to play...but if they want that cash, i hope someone remembers this apathy this period.

JFC. Grzelcyk is having one of the worst games anyone has had this season.

ps, the lack of calls on the after the whistle shenanigans against McAvoy was inexcusable by the terrible refs.

Objectively I can't blame them, it was probably a horrible schedule to play...but if they want that cash, i hope someone remembers this apathy this period. Difference between mistakes and not trying. Grzelcyk and Rask gave way three goals, and McAvoy, Tinordi and Grzelcyk almost gave away more. But the problem wasn't effort. It was execution. |

Tukka's last game as a Bruin?? I'm not in any way, shape or form a Tuukka basher. But it should be. Age, injuries, Swayman's potential and the need to spend money in so many other places means he should be let go. Find another cheap vet back-up. |

Age, injuries, Swayman's potential and the need to spend money in so many other places means he should be let go. Find another cheap vet back-up. Agree. The roster, such as it is, really needs to have money applied to other areas if they want that proverbial one more shot with Bergeron and Marchand. Swayman is a huge savings. Krecji vs. his performance has been overpaid for years. Coyle is super overpaid currently. The roster and pipeline are so weak right now, shuffling money might be the only game available to improve the roster. |

Let's hope for a good offseason and some better luck next year. I still think we can win another one for Bergeron.
At least I won't have to miss game 7.

Rubbing salt into the wound big time. Bruins just didn't have enough. Oh well...lots of drama to watch with the offseasons of Bruins and Celtics.

I started the Offseason thread, let's move over there after the sting wears off. The Roster needs some serious work.
