Horrible gut wrenching loss. Too many in the past 7 games or so. The Florida trip with these losses to Nashville, Philly and now Pittsburgh are bad and might be too many missed points if we dont bear down.
agreed on the announcers, They add nothing to the game imho. The NHL needs to have a feed where there are no announcers but mikes along the boards so that we can pick up the audio from the players. That would be awesome.
Typical Bruins. I was praying they didn't go up 3 zip because they just dont know another way to play except to play, not to lose. Same old shit. This was the worse loss on my birthday since a 10-3 shelling I watched in person at the old garden against the Sabers. Thanks for making me piss away 3 hours of my 58th birthday thinking you were going to win handely only to shit yourselves yet again.
Those muppetts need to put our prospects on the goddamn ice! Why the fuck did Sturm wait until they tied us before calling a timeout??? We ALL knew the 3rd Penguins goal was coming very soon, and to nobody's surprise, they score right after the 2nd. This team is so fucking slow and so untalented, yet I spend money on tickets and merchandise, and will continue to do so because I'm an idiot who likes to pretend it's worth the money. We have just one fucking player that can actually move (Khusnutdinov), and one player that can actually dangle and carry the puck into the zone without dumping and chasing (Arvidsson). Our superstar and the only legit 1st line forward (Pasta) plays like he just lost his dog and his best friend and hasn't slept in 3 days, and would rather be somewhere else. He didn't even celebrate his own goal. He didn't even give a fucking shit that he finally broke his scoreless streak! What the fuck is going on with this team??? Does Pasta even want to be on this team anymore?? It doesn't fucking seem like he does! There is no fire in his eyes whatsoever. Zadorov is clearly injured. Hampus is useless. Elias can't skate, he can't make a good pass, he can't receive a good pass, and he can't shoot the fucking puck in any meaningful way. The fact that we are still in a playoff spot is beyond shocking, but I give it 5 days for them to get knocked out of their playoff spot. I hope everyone has come to terms with the fact that this team is not making the playoff's this year. This team is going to be gutted in the off season and 40% of these players are going to be long gone. It really fucking sucks that I have to watch the last 1/4 of the season knowing that this team is finished and the rest of this season is completely meaningless. This shit blows.
The Bruins owe me a refund of three hours of life, somehow. Season-defining choke job. NOT a playoff team, whether they make it or not, but they're doing just well enough to achieve a "meh" draft pick, while the Leafs are full tanking, to steal back the Carlo pick. Feels like the ping pong balls will support them in that endeavor, in case they don't fall far enough on their own. And I agree, they choked SO badly, they deserved to have the Pasta-pick play ignored. Period.
No, you're not being dramatic. They gave up in the third. For the first two periods we were literally eating Pittsburgh's lunch, taking pucks away and literally dominating them on the boards and then we went to whatever the hell the third period was. Mcavoy has been getting caught sneaking into the o-zone far too often. Korposalo couldn't absorb a rebound to save his life. Something has changed since the Olympics. I noticed it really badly in the Washington game but the shell that we go into is just such peewee hockey bullshit that it's embarrassing to watch. Now don't get me wrong. Strong play and clock killing is an art but they just shut down and play lazy. That game was 100% winnable but the Bruins decided to stop playing 3/4 of the way through.
Yeah I don't get that take on the backhander. I get that it was from distance but that's a perfectly placed shot and it wasn't weak. It's not like it was a floater that beat him that had wrist shot velocity and it's on the backhand no one knows where that's going. It was a prayer play and it worked. You can get on Korpi for his rebounds on some of the later goals for sure. But goalies aren't stopping that backhander almost ever.
Aspirot could use a few days off. Heâs a rookie, mistakes are going to happen. I think he needs a reset. Plus Harris is fine defensively. This was also the first game that I thought the fourth line was genuinely bad. Jeanot and Kuraly specifically could not get the puck out of their own zone properly at all it was torture to watch
I get that they shouldnât have been in ot but that was the most blatant interference ever in the history of hockey. I couldnât imagine fucking up at my job daily like refs do. Not little fuck ups either like catastrophic fuck ups. Iâd be fired.
Exactly how many more times does this need to play itself out for both Don Sweeney and Bruins Homer Nation to wake up
The Bruins have been a below .500 road team all season
Since theyâve come back from the Olympics they have lost all three of their away games
Thatâs not even mentioning that in the three games they won, in one of them CLB was the better team all game, the PITT game was one where it was 50/50 and the third one they barely won against a decimated Capital team
In two of those three away games they played putrid teams in Philly and Nashville.
Nashville had a fire sale prior to the game and their best player, Ryan OâReilly didnât even play
Versus Pittsburgh neither of their two best players were playing in Crosby or Malkin, they were playing a back to back and Boston still couldnât hold on to beat them despite having a 3 goal lead and being up by a goal late in their period
This isnât a new thing, itâs who Boston has been all year, a bad road team
When you combine that with the following below itâs mind boggling that the Bruins didnât at least try selling guys like Peeke and Arvidsson because there is ZERO chance that this Bruins team is beating any actual good NHL teams in any 7 game series come the post season

Itâs insane the local media and Bruins Homer Nation is praising Don Sweneey for doing NOTHING at this year's trade deadline!!!
The Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, a dead cat, you neâŠ.. All of us are qualified to be GM of a National Hockey League team if all of you have to do to get the job in terms of the trade deadline is to DO NOTHING!!!
Sweeney can say at the end of the year, âHey I trusted these guys, I didnât sell off and they screwed me and youâ
Or Sweeeney can say, âHey no one wanted us to add, so I didnât add, what do you want?â
What did Bruins fans want?
Well, this team isnât good enough to win anything this year so a good start would have been recognizing this and perhaps selling off pieces that could have helped even in the very near future
Or maybe recognizing this and trying to move pieces to add a Top 6 center or wing or a Top 4 RHD because without those pieces the Bruins as they're constituted today won't ever be a real Cup threat
Instead, Sweeney did nothing and the local media, Bruins Homer Nation and the Don Sweeney Apologist Society are throwing ticker tape parades for the guyâŠ.
That was without doubt an unacceptable loss, but to be fair, the bruins have only blown three third period leads this calendar year and all of them went to extra time. The only other multi goal third period lead theyâve blown this entire season was the Tampa game. I donât see that as a trend.
Announcers in general just canât stop babbling. âSmith is from Butte, Montana, and passes the puck to Jones who went to school at Oklahoma. Jones passes to Edwards, who likes to BBQ in his spare timeâŠâ
Shocked that Mittlestadt couldn't make a play with either of those passes that were closer to his feet than his blade. Goal scorers know how to adjust to get off a scoring chance.
Every recent loss has been predictable in the first 10 minutes of gameplay… poor D zone management/break outs, sloppy connections on transitions; missed passes & pucks just bouncing of stick blades when receiving passes, and one of the most glaring & concerning elements is the group effort…. it seems like half the team is trying their arses off while the other half of the group stands around and waits for the puck to find them. But honestly this is what we get for sitting on our hands at the deadline, we didn't move to improve, or take the opportunity to adjust the roster in anticipation of an off-season re-shuffle. .500 is what they were fine standing behind, and that's exactly what we're going to get. Not that surprising or upsetting when you recognize that fact.
The team looks out of sink. 4th line has been invisible lately. The rest of season should be interesting. I thinking the last game could decide if we make the playoffs.

Damn homie, hang in there! Youâll look back on this hangover fondly! Eat a banana or 2! Korpisalo is infuriating. Shoulda won this damn game
It's my fault I started watching when they were 3-0 up and 30 sec before the Pens scored

Happy International Women Day! The day we celebrate when women do things for the first time that men have already done
Bro the Sabers… the BUFFALO effing sabers… are apparently a wagon. Im here for it
Wow…. đŠ

Aspirot was -2. He single-handedly blew his coverage and place on the ice twice
Glad you had a great time at your bachelor party! Happy for you brother!
That was rough, to say the least. I'm glad they were able to back up Sweeny's decision to do nothing at the trade deadline.
What percentage of our power plays result in a good chance for the other team? Itâs annoying as hell.
least it was a point instead of no point
That game doesn't even deserve a fucking skit. This fucking team blows
Korpisalo should be cut immediately.

Taking 3 out of the 4 pts over the weekend isnât bad but watching that 3rd period yesterday was Bad . đ
0:30 it's called Schrödinger hangover. You're both alive and dead.
Good timing. That loss was so bad, it doesnât deserve a skit.

Can we start the entire Providence Bruins next game and give these knuckleheads a vacation day? Fire Korpi also. Softy
No, you're not being dramatic. They gave up in the third. For the first two periods we were literally eating Pittsburgh's lunch, taking pucks away and literally dominating them on the boards and then we went to whatever the hell the third period was.

Usually when you see this difference Home-Away consistent from one team, coaching and matchups….. Sturm
That backhand goal against krapasalo was disgusting on krappy and what the hell was that pass by McAvoy in ot unacceptable
Yeah I don't get that take on the backhander. I get that it was from distance but that's a perfectly placed shot and it wasn't weak. It's not like it was a floater that beat him that had wrist shot velocity and it's on the backhand no one knows where that's going. It was a prayer play and it worked.

This was also the first game that I thought the fourth line was genuinely bad. Jeanot and Kuraly specifically could not get the puck out of their own zone properly at all it was torture to watch
This stretch is making me be like âwell itâs a deep draftâ again đ
I'm with you man. It was THREEZERO FFS. Never should have been in OT. Awful.
I get that they shouldnât have been in ot but that was the most blatant interference ever in the history of hockey. I couldnât imagine fucking up at my job daily like refs do. Not little fuck ups either like catastrophic fuck ups. Iâd be fired.
Congrats Ian hope you feel better
Congrats on surviving the Batchelor Party! (or did you?) My invitation must've got lost in the mail. Go Bruins!!! – ah, whatever.
There were a lot of things wrong with this game, but the interference non-call in OT was BS.
Very annoying we have multiple candidates for worst loss of the season that involved 3+ goal leads.
TNT is the worst for a game broadcast
Drink water between drinks, bro. Saves you from the painful next-day regret.
Congrats bro. Hope it turns out better than both my marriages đ

For Doing Nothing!!!
Good Grief
Thr second i turned it on pitt scored 2 to tie it. Then i traded myself for future considerations.
been saying the pens will need 6 points over malkins 5 games to stabilize. Thanks for getting them halfway there Flyers and Bruins. Very kind of you.
That was without doubt an unacceptable loss, but to be fair, the bruins have only blown three third period leads this calendar year and all of them went to extra time. The only other multi goal third period lead theyâve blown this entire season was the Tampa game. I donât see that as a trend.

Up 3-0, the game well in hand, and they just imploded. Congrat's to you and the future Mrs Low Quality
Shocked that Mittlestadt couldn't make a play with either of those passes that were closer to his feet than his blade. Goal scorers know how to adjust to get off a scoring chance.

You have the Pass for today agree with everything you said today . Enough to put you back into a coma for days . Hopefully the coach beats ass here !

This has been happening all flippin year btw. These guys cannot keep their shit together on the road.
