Its not looking good for the my bruinscharas got the flu or something, and obviously he didnt play tonight. they cant win without him, our defense isn't deep enough.
claude julien is a terrible coach. he has a ton of talent on his roster but he can't make them produce consistently. they just seem like they are outcoached every game, and when the gameplan fails they cant even execute the simplest of ****.
hopefully this embarassment will actually help us in the long run, and we can get some new coaching (and possibly management) in here to take the talent we have on this roster deep in to the playoffs. it's quite possible that julien just coached his last game in the boston garden.
of course, it is hockey, and you never know what could happen. the habs won 2 on the road, the bruins could do it too. stranger things have happened. until its over, im not giving up. lets go bs.
I can't put my finger on what the issue is. They are very streaky but can't seem to answer the challenge of the big game.
Julien may not have the respect of the locker room and I seriously think it stems back from the Cooke incident.
They B's are done. They don't have the heart to persevere.
Like I said, the talent is there on the roster. Claude just can't seem to get them to use it. They couldn't pass last night, couldn't get out of their zone, couldn't gain entry to montreal's zone, couldn't forecheck, couldn't get in front of the net, COULDNT GET THE PUCK ON NET. These are all basics of hockey. If he can't even get them to do this, how is he gonna win a Stanley Cup?
Not to mention our god awful powerplay... pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass. Its like they are looking for the perfect shot. Too bad there is no perfect shot. Put the ****ing puck on net. Thats how you score.
Honestly... I don't think Boston is playing that bad. They just can't solve price. Montreal is playing the same way they played in the playoffs last year. Defensive hockey. It's the way they beat Washington and the pens last year. Boston has gotta figure out something though. Trying to win in the Bell Centre is going to be one big task. It's definitely not easy, especially if Montreal scores first.
Agreed. The team seemed to be all over the place yesterday.
I've never thought much of Julien as a coach, despite him winning the Jack Adams. Didn't seem like much of a step up from Lewis, and I'd say it was risky to hire him after he was fired by the Devils after a pretty successful season. You guys should have gone with Quinn when you had the chance.
He'll be fired if the Bruins lose to Montreal.
I do and another goalie issue in Philly. Imagine that...
Otav89
Imagine that!
It's Booooooooooooooosh's turn now.
Maybe you guys should go after Bryzgalov in the off-season if the Jets don't re-sign him.....
I really hope so. Wish we could have gotten Laviolette when we had the chance. If he was the coach we would be going to the Finals. I remember what he did with that P-bruins team in 98-99 when he took them to the Calder Cup.
The Jets coming back to Winnipeg will be awesome ... when will Bettman and the NHL figure out the obvious ... Hockey will thrive in places like Winnipeg, Hamilton, and Quebec.
If it's not American it can't be good.
No TV dollars for him in another Canadian team.
Don't preach to me, I'm in the ****ing choir.
Tell it to Bettman.
I am not preaching ... just telling it like it is ... sorry, I thought you were speaking for Bettman

I agreed
Does Bryzgalov speak/understand any english otav89
Still don't know who's in net tonight. I'm thinking the kid. If he is shaky, put Booooch in And Pronger still hasn't taken a shot
Goalie issue's in Philly Nah...
Zioxide

You have a competent coach.
Much better show from the Canucks last night. Louongo came through when they needed him most. Although they do need to work on staying out of the penalty box. Down 3-0 now, the Blackhawks are all but done, but at least you still have the Bulls.

Boston thought the same last year, but Philly didn't quite think so.
Haha. True, I shouldn't get too ahead of myself. But the Hawks chances do look pretty slim. I wouldn't be surprised if Chicago does win Game 4, at least.
As for rwingscup, the NHL (and Winnipeg for that matter) were totally different in 1996 than how it is now. With the salary cap, and the high Canadian dollar, along with a surging Winnipeg economy, I have no doubts in my mind that the NHL will prosper in the Peg.
Don't forget about Colorado and Minnesota. Two places that previously lost their franchises only to have them return and thrive. (Atlanta however, is an exception, but chances are the Thrashers won't last much longer there -- hopefully to Quebec once they're ready to start construction on their new arena).
^^^^^Exactly.
The Coyotes will most likely move to Winnipeg, and I'd bet they'll be known as the Manitoba Jets. I wonder where the Thrashers will go?
An interesting blog post about the Canucks and what Brian Burke did for them:
An interesting article about how no one is really the clear winner in the Kessel deal. FTR, Cox is typically critical of the Leafs, and would not be described as a journalist with a Leafs-bias.
Looking forward to watching some hockey tonight.
robo, I think Boosh will get the start. I see that your GM shot down the Pronger has a broken hand again rumors pretty quickly.
Thomas will be the starter for Boston, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Tuukka "blame it on everyone else" Rask put in if Thomas gets into trouble.

Can't really say if the trade was good for the bruins or not when Seguin is still in his rookie year. Lets see where he is when he is 22 and Looch is 26.
Tuukka stepping on the ice for anything more than pregame warmups would just be another reason claude julien is a moron and a terrible ****ing coach. Thomas set the ALL TIME RECORD for save percentage this year. Not playing him is blasphemy. He's definitely not the reason we lost.
