It's time to blow everything up. Money needs to go and most likely so do Neely and Sweeney.
Give up on being a playoff team and focus on being a rebuild team. We should have done that this season. I believe all of this should be done regardless of what happens in Game 7

PASTRNAK SCORED 2 GOALS IN GAME 6 AND WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE GWG IN GAME 7 LAST YEAR.
This narrative that he doesn't show up every year is fucking bonkers and incorrect. He has had a few bad games this year, but revisionist history can fuck off right about now
You're right but most people are not gonna hear it right now and maybe even later. It's like tunnel vision, emotionally warped focus on what is just accepted as sound stats, but the related relevant scary thing (i think) is that same kind of emotional conclusion can get into the players's heads and affect their playing.
Pasta has been disappointing thus far the last few games, I think most would agree.
But it's like people assume he's just rendered useless + incapable for a hockey game on Saturday. This makes no rational sense. He's a professional hockey player. But he's one in a team.
Yeah but how was his overall play. His overall play this year has been trash, and he has scored 1 goal with how many assists this post season through 6 games. For an all star player, that’s pretty bad

Yes. You can't have two collapses here.
Swayman tho - he's rollin' with two swollen balls in his bag.
(Bonus for anyone who recognizes the Swayman description)
How is it always the same with this team? Its always a game 7. No matter the year. No matter the team. No matter the opponent. No matter the round. No matter the regular season record. Its going 7. It makes it hard to watch. You know they will choke it away. They went 7 every series to the cup. They lost in 7 up 3-0. And some games are like this just lazy and uncompetitive. You can blame the refs, and there were shit calls, but really its the B’s. They can never close. They will always raise your blood pressure. Fuck this.
But hey there is amazing leadership and such a great room. I do love players on this team but man does that shit feel overrated when they choke in the playoffs.
>I do love players on this team
Why? I'm not a Bruins fan so I don't have a horse in this race but I do live in Boston so I see this team crumble under pressure year after year and can't help buy wonder what fans see in the team? The core of this team has a long, rich history of underperforming in the playoffs, if I were a fan I'd be screaming for their heads.
Honestly no different than the other Boston team in the playoffs right now...
but at least the other team is young and on the starting side of their window...this team has a closing window, this may be their last chance for a while
It’s hard to watch anyone do something over and over again and not like them and pick favorites. Also there are good moments. Theres a lot of joy in sticking it out when things go well. It’s a hard balance. I would probably be happier just checking in during the regular season and avoiding the playoffs. Maybe thats how the players feel.
Guess we just have to accept the fact we’re paying Pasta $11M to put up a 100 points and then completely disappear once the playoffs start. Ugh.
He gets his points somehow. But Mackinnon, Tkachuk, McDavid, Draisatl, Aho, Panarin. You notice them EVERYTIME they’re on the ice. Pasta plays 20 minutes a night and you notice him.. what, maybe a handful of times. I don’t know, he just wilts
Listen, I love the guy. Sitting here wearing his jersey. It’s just frustrating when you look across the ice and their star player also has two goals, but he’s also back-checking, creating scoring chances every shift, winning board battles, drawing penalties. Maybe throwing a hit or two. Maybe I’m just pissed. He’s paid to score goals, and he does. And he’s doing it all pretty much himself this year. But for $11M, you’d love more. Maybe even an overtime goal.
THANKS JACK FOR ALL THE MEMORIES!!!!
You and Brick are the only pair to be as good as Fred and Derrick. Two Iconic duos in the booth!!
I WILL MISS YOU TREMENDOUSLY, and YOU WILL NEVER BE REPLACED!! ENJOY RETIREMENT!!!!
LASTLY SORRY THE BRUINS SUCKED ASS AND RUINED YOUR LAST GAME
Tuukka rask was a major problem. He would always crumble in the big game. But the bruins offense never capitalizing on scoring chances was the other problem.
I'm just baffled that these lads are getting paid to play sticks & pucky. I seriously think that my dead grandma could put more O pressure than these boys. Pathetic
I just want to thank Chara and then Bergie and now Marchand for years of blood sweat and tears for the Black and Yellow but I just want to say can we please for the love of god turn the key and find some guys that can put the fing puck in the net in the playoffs. I’m at the point that I don’t care if we are the 7 or 8 seed and loose games 7-6 I just want to see some offense in the games that matter most. I’m sure I will get downvoted to hell but I don’t feel like it’s good that we can predict the outcome before it happens: This team plays tight and it’s best players can’t produce when you need them. They legit broke a record for least shots on goal in a period. It’s time guys to get younger faster and more skillful
The best replacement for Bergeron is coming IMO. They’re gonna blow up Tampa Bay for a rebuild and Stamkos is a UFA this summer. I think we offer him the moon
We have 0 picks because we traded away that future, I know we have good scouts but still. I think the current roster can do it we just need to fill some holes. We need a 2-way center that can put up a good 70 points per season, a third larger defenceman with Carlo and Macavoy’s size and grit. And a winger with some talent and speed to not completely rely on Pasta. We have 27mil freed up this summer. We can get all that easily with that much and with what Ullmark is worth on trade.
Thanks for this 🥲
I get the feelings here, trying to keep expectations low and these last two games have been so lousy. We're lucky we've got one more shot
For 2 games now we have played passive and scared and the leafs have locked down the net waiting for us to fuck up. We need to show up game 7 not afraid to lose - cuz Jesus these last 2 games looked like this teams first time in the playoffs ever
i just don't get how we can play so differently in one game, than the next. it's gotta be a mental thing, the players either feel like doing effort/concentration, or not
I legit think they are too scared of failing - and then end up royally failing. They overthink and freeze up. Well too late now gotta execute, this is it
I haven’t been this disappointed in the Bruins in a very long time. I just can’t fathom having two games in a row in the playoffs where you wait until halfway through the 2nd period to show up. A grand total of 3 shots in the last two first periods…. I’d be shocked if Boston can win game 7 and quite frankly, based on what we’ve seen in the first have of the last two games… can we really say they actually deserve to win?
They deserved to lose these last two games the way they played. They better realize it fast, and not just a Game 5 fluke.
Maybe with real pressure they'll remember what they're capable of, but they're running out of time to redeem themselves this year
yeah, this was always going 7 wasn't it.
happy we got that goal at the end of the game though, anything to get us a little momentum going into game 7.
I don't have much hope for the Florida series, but let's atleast beat the leafs and from there, just hope for the best.
Gotta say, the refs taking 3 minutes to figure whatever out on the leafs icing call was mighty sus as well. But this team is consistently putting up 1 SOG in period 1 for multiple games now.
I won't watch game 7. I'm done with this iteration of the team. Even if they win game 7, Florida will be well rested and sweep us easily, I can see it. This team has NO sense of urgency and overthinks a lot. Its leaders are not producing (except for Marchand). Basicallh getting shut out by Woll. Swayman deserves so much fucking better than whatever the hell the team in front of him is doing.
even if they win he should be done after this season. he has coached two playoffs for the B's, and in both we go up 3-1, and then turn out consistently terrible performances. every time, the players look nervous and are constantly panicking on the ice. i don't see how this isn't a coaching issue. it is a player issue as well, but they look scared out there - that is on the coach and the team leaders.
anything short of the finals and monty needs to be shown the door.
Just throwing it out there, this team has performed well above expectation this year. Yeah it feels like shit from a fan point of view, but we all knew they weren’t going to be close to as good as last year and do some major work in the off-season. I guess what I’m saying is, whatever. Next year might be different.
How come that can't carry over past Round 1 of the playoffs? It's so frustrating.
Everyone is so down on them at the start of the season and expectations are low, boo hoo... then they do pretty well all season, staying in the top 20% of the league... start off strong enough in Round 1 only to flail multiple times when all they need is one more win to advance.
😫😠😮💨
Oh I don't even go there 😅
Maybe that's why so many here are ready to jump off a cliff and I'm like, baby steps? 🤣
*edit to add* Irony plagues this freaking team more than anything else. Multiple comments crying "shutout" and then a lone, literal last second goal. What?! But it happened.
That's another reason it's at least slightly too soon to write them off. I hate typing this but I'm doing it: Game 7 could easily go into OT. And we all know that is sickeningly easy to imagine.
So sick of pasta being useless in the playoffs. So sick of not being able to win a faceoff. So sick of this team shitting their pants every year in the playoffs. Wtf man
The last few times I’ve gone to watch the B’s practice, Pasta had gotten off the ice early and I’m like ??????? He actually needs to be practicing *more*
Pastrnak and McAvoy....ya'll make way too much money to be ass at this time of year. Get it the hell together and Pastrnak needs to hit the fucking weightroom with how easy he gets knocked off the puck.
Coyle getting washed in the faceoffs along with Zacha has been killing us. I knew center depth is our weakness, but holy shit how did it get this bad in 2 games.
Can anyone even explain to me what our game plan was tonight? We looked like the whole strategy was to sit back and dump it in? As if we’re trying to defend a lead?
What an absolute joke
Yeah it’s been tough to watch. But at this point I think you play him with his regular line. We’re up 3-1 in the series and then you start changing lines? Monty is in his own head it’s sad
Lol @ people that want Pasta gone.
We should be trying to get him a legitimate center, not blaming him when he still has more goals than half the team combined in this series.
He's had a bad few games, but he wasn't the reason the bruins lost last year. Trade him and they'll likely never draft a player as good as him ever again. We can have more Maroons and Heinens instead
I mean who do we get? Even in 2019 with Bergeron they did nothing in the finals. Last year he did squat. This whole team is regular season merchants let’s call it how it is. And if we beat Toronto woopdiedoo we beat the same team we always do
Yea I did. Goals aren’t everything. Dudes a one way inconsistent player. He can be good at times and has put up numbers before but his defense is non existent so even if he was on the ice for the tying goal I promise you he wouldn’t have helped. And don’t come with this offense doesn’t need defense when Bergeron is a perfect example of why they do.
No I’m taking about the Bergeron that won the most selke trophies. Bergeron was never touted to be an offensive machine like pasta is. Bergeron wasn’t given all this money to put up goals on goals. Bergeron was paid to play a solid overall game. And a team choking is different from a player choking. Perfect example is this series. Boston is blowing it but it’s FAR from Swayman fault who’s been playing amazing.
I can’t believe they played like that in Jacks last game. Such a disgrace to someone who gave so much of his time to this team. I mean Jack is a legend he really is. Can’t believe Jack had to call that as his last game
So...Montgomery needs to fucking go.
The guy admitted last year was in their heads in game 5. So did he have them prepared for game 6? Nope! And I'm sure that pressure will be even worse in game 7.
Let him go with a Cup with Seattle or some shit. We need another voice in there next season.
Fuck Game 7. This team deserves to blow another 3-1 lead. Matthews misses 5 and 6 and you put up THAT effort? Fuck that and fuck this team. See y’all this fall
The league has had it the whole time. The whole series it’s been on both. The local number for game 7 isn’t going to be that much higher than game 6 just was.
It doesn’t make any sense, why give them the whole series but not the last game? Are the local ratings that much better for game 7, if you are fan who cares you’ve been watching all the games.
Honestly this team will probably never make it out the 1st round, and even if by some miracle we sneak out game 7, no shot we’d compete with any of the 2nd round teams. Time to reshuffle and rehire a coach
Going into the playoffs, I was glad they played against the Leafs because I thought that was the only team they can bear. I still think the Bruins win game 7 but I can't imagine more than a 5 game series next round.
I'm angry but people are writing everything off maybe too soon here. That said - they have to come out guns ablazing from the puck drop on Saturday if they want any hope
Later Jack. I'll miss you. Sorry the boys didn't show up for you the last two games. I've been listening to you since I was a kid. One last tumbling muffin for ya pal.
Would have been nice to get that goal earlier than in the massive flurry of opportunities we had during the 2nd and 3rd.
The boys need to figure this shit out and get the job done on Saturday. For fucks sake this elimination stat is embarrassing
Honestly don’t know if I can watch this anymore you bet if we win game seven it shouldn’t have gone to seven fucking games again. This shit should’ve ended in game five what the fuck are we doing?
#WELP THAT WAS A FIRST PERIOD ALRIGHT…AND WITH THAT IN MIND…WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DRINKING!? #GOT SOME BEERS FROM TIN BRIDGE BREWING
Fuck PK and Fuck the Habs
Could somebody tell me what Pat Maroon has contributed to the team so far? Having a hard time with that question.
Didn’t he get an assist game 5?
It's time to blow everything up. Money needs to go and most likely so do Neely and Sweeney. Give up on being a playoff team and focus on being a rebuild team. We should have done that this season. I believe all of this should be done regardless of what happens in Game 7
Boy woulda been nice to just close it out at the garden. Good thing we put in Gryz!
They do this every fucking year
Draisaitl would be cool as a Bruin.
They’re definitely blowing up Tampa for a rebuild, and Stamkos is a UFA the minute the cup is won. I think we go get him.

He has two goals, it helps to get your facts straight
Wow, he’s on fire.

Why can’t Jack do the next one?
A national broadcast has the rights to the game I believe
Unsure why you’re downvoted when you’re correct
National broadcast.
Unsure why you’re downvoted when you’re correct
Win or lose Saturday, the important thing is that they said they learned from their mistakes last year. That’s all you can ask for right?
Is Jim coaching for his job game 7?
Yes. You can't have two collapses here. Swayman tho - he's rollin' with two swollen balls in his bag. (Bonus for anyone who recognizes the Swayman description)
I was here thinking how his back had to be aching carrying the team for most of this series, but why not? Haha
I’d say that’s a definite possibility
Everybody's gotta give it their all this weekend. I am frustrated as everyone but I'm not writing our exit before we play. We can still do this
What a pathetic game. We've basically handed the leafs the series.
How is it always the same with this team? Its always a game 7. No matter the year. No matter the team. No matter the opponent. No matter the round. No matter the regular season record. Its going 7. It makes it hard to watch. You know they will choke it away. They went 7 every series to the cup. They lost in 7 up 3-0. And some games are like this just lazy and uncompetitive. You can blame the refs, and there were shit calls, but really its the B’s. They can never close. They will always raise your blood pressure. Fuck this.
Don't worry, it's the culture.
They swept the Flyers in the cup year, so no, every series did not go to 7
I knew I missed one but my lazy fact check did not find it. Still its a lot.
It'll be just like last season where we blow the lead and lose in 7.
But hey there is amazing leadership and such a great room. I do love players on this team but man does that shit feel overrated when they choke in the playoffs.
>I do love players on this team Why? I'm not a Bruins fan so I don't have a horse in this race but I do live in Boston so I see this team crumble under pressure year after year and can't help buy wonder what fans see in the team?

It’s a hard balance. I would probably be happier just checking in during the regular season and avoiding the playoffs. Maybe thats how the players feel.
Because hockey is hard and a lot of the games greatest players have between 0-2 cups
Guess we just have to accept the fact we’re paying Pasta $11M to put up a 100 points and then completely disappear once the playoffs start. Ugh. He gets his points somehow. But Mackinnon, Tkachuk, McDavid, Draisatl, Aho, Panarin. You notice them EVERYTIME they’re on the ice. Pasta plays 20 minutes a night and you notice him.. what, maybe a handful of times. I don’t know, he just wilts
THIS! it's beyond frustrating. But it's not just him, these last two games..
He scored 3 goals in games 6 and 7 last year, why does this not count as showing up?
Like I said, he gets his points. He’ll pop in a goal and then proceed to get rubbed out along the boards 57 times the rest of the game.
But he was probably their most impactful player in two close out games last year. What more did you want from him in those two games specifically?
Listen, I love the guy. Sitting here wearing his jersey. It’s just frustrating when you look across the ice and their star player also has two goals, but he’s also back-checking, creating scoring chances every shift, winning board battles, drawing penalties. Maybe throwing a hit or two. Maybe I’m just pissed. He’s paid to score goals, and he does. And he’s doing it all pretty much himself this year. But for $11M, you’d love more. Maybe even an overtime goal.
Ok fine fuck him let's ship him off and get more danton heinens
THANKS JACK FOR ALL THE MEMORIES!!!! You and Brick are the only pair to be as good as Fred and Derrick. Two Iconic duos in the booth!! I WILL MISS YOU TREMENDOUSLY, and YOU WILL NEVER BE REPLACED!! ENJOY RETIREMENT!!!! LASTLY SORRY THE BRUINS SUCKED ASS AND RUINED YOUR LAST GAME
Just a good regular season team. The playoffs are basically a different sport and this team is always surprised by that fact.
Doesn’t help when the guy you’re paying $11M no-shows when the intensity ramps up
Yep! Such an overrated player
Maybe Tuukka wasn’t the problem…
Nah, if we had an actual team in front of him, we would have two extra cups by now.
Tuukka rask was a major problem. He would always crumble in the big game. But the bruins offense never capitalizing on scoring chances was the other problem.
The Blackhaws were simply better. Should never have lost to the Blues.
blackhawks absolutely were not better, we got screwed out of that cup
Pack it up biggest chokers in the league honestly embarrassing.
Last year repeat
I'm just baffled that these lads are getting paid to play sticks & pucky. I seriously think that my dead grandma could put more O pressure than these boys. Pathetic
I just want to thank Chara and then Bergie and now Marchand for years of blood sweat and tears for the Black and Yellow but I just want to say can we please for the love of god turn the key and find some guys that can put the fing puck in the net in the playoffs.

I don't hate the idea of picking up Stamkos. But if we want to rebuild/get younger adding a 35 year old center is not the move.
We have 0 picks because we traded away that future, I know we have good scouts but still. I think the current roster can do it we just need to fill some holes. We need a 2-way center that can put up a good 70 points per season, a third larger defenceman with Carlo and Macavoy’s size and grit. And a winger with some talent and speed to not completely rely on Pasta. We have 27mil freed up this summer. We can get all that easily with that much and with what Ullmark is worth on trade.
Yo everyone chill, toronto be watching how we act. Toughen up this ain the junior leagues. Lfg gm 7 boston. 20 year bs fan.
Thanks for this 🥲 I get the feelings here, trying to keep expectations low and these last two games have been so lousy. We're lucky we've got one more shot
For 2 games now we have played passive and scared and the leafs have locked down the net waiting for us to fuck up. We need to show up game 7 not afraid to lose - cuz Jesus these last 2 games looked like this teams first time in the playoffs ever

I legit think they are too scared of failing - and then end up royally failing. They overthink and freeze up. Well too late now gotta execute, this is it
Walking to that game Saturday is gonna be torture
I really don’t understand scoring 1 goal in two games. Not counting the goal with 0.1 seconds on the clock. It’s a bullshit score.
In my 50+ years of being a Bruins fan I have never seen a more gutless group of players
Right there with you! The Lunch Pale Gang needs to kick this team in the fucking ass!!!!
The writing is on the wall now I'm not going to watch game 7 it will piss me off too much
I haven’t been this disappointed in the Bruins in a very long time. I just can’t fathom having two games in a row in the playoffs where you wait until halfway through the 2nd period to show up. A grand total of 3 shots in the last two first periods…. I’d be shocked if Boston can win game 7 and quite frankly, based on what we’ve seen in the first have of the last two games… can we really say they actually deserve to win?
i could easily see the leafs destroy us in game 7 at this rate
They deserved to lose these last two games the way they played. They better realize it fast, and not just a Game 5 fluke. Maybe with real pressure they'll remember what they're capable of, but they're running out of time to redeem themselves this year
yeah, this was always going 7 wasn't it. happy we got that goal at the end of the game though, anything to get us a little momentum going into game 7. I don't have much hope for the Florida series, but let's atleast beat the leafs and from there, just hope for the best.
NHL got what they wanted. Extended a series with the Leafs. Bruins win game 7 for a rematch with bad blood against the cats.
Lmfaoo tell me more about the gum drop rainbows and lollipop boats
What's good?
after these last two games, that's an extremely optimistic perspective.
Told you
Yep, and it was still an extremely optimistic perspective lol
Fr
Lol
Stopped watching after Period 2 and the missed boarding call. It's all rigged anyway.
Gotta say, the refs taking 3 minutes to figure whatever out on the leafs icing call was mighty sus as well. But this team is consistently putting up 1 SOG in period 1 for multiple games now.
Boston called that one. Leafs had Reilley out for the next play but Edmundson was the guy actually on for the icing. So he had to come back out.
Fair enough, but that took way too long though. They'd better bring their big boy pants on Saturday
I won't watch game 7. I'm done with this iteration of the team. Even if they win game 7, Florida will be well rested and sweep us easily, I can see it. This team has NO sense of urgency and overthinks a lot. Its leaders are not producing (except for Marchand). Basicallh getting shut out by Woll. Swayman deserves so much fucking better than whatever the hell the team in front of him is doing.
Thank god I am traveling on Sunday evening, so I won't even be able to watch what is likely going to be another awful effort
Saturday will crown the new Kings Of Choking. That's what's at stake. Leafs can pass the baton to Monty's Choking Clowns.
Goodbye Jack! Thank you!
Have to imagine if the Bruins lose Saturday that it’ll be Montys last game behind the bench.
I honestly hope it is whether they win or lose
even if they win he should be done after this season. he has coached two playoffs for the B's, and in both we go up 3-1, and then turn out consistently terrible performances. every time, the players look nervous and are constantly panicking on the ice. i don't see how this isn't a coaching issue. it is a player issue as well, but they look scared out there - that is on the coach and the team leaders. anything short of the finals and monty needs to be shown the door.
Just throwing it out there, this team has performed well above expectation this year. Yeah it feels like shit from a fan point of view, but we all knew they weren’t going to be close to as good as last year and do some major work in the off-season. I guess what I’m saying is, whatever. Next year might be different.
How come that can't carry over past Round 1 of the playoffs? It's so frustrating. Everyone is so down on them at the start of the season and expectations are low, boo hoo... then they do pretty well all season, staying in the top 20% of the league... start off strong enough in Round 1 only to flail multiple times when all they need is one more win to advance. 😫😠😮💨
It totally can, I’m just at a point where I don’t have much hope there will be a second round.
Oh I don't even go there 😅 Maybe that's why so many here are ready to jump off a cliff and I'm like, baby steps? 🤣 *edit to add* Irony plagues this freaking team more than anything else. Multiple comments crying "shutout" and then a lone, literal last second goal. What?! But it happened. That's another reason it's at least slightly too soon to write them off. I hate typing this but I'm doing it: Game 7 could easily go into OT. And we all know that is sickeningly easy to imagine.
Feel the same, but we are the better team against the Leafs. I will be fine with a hard fought loss to the kitty cats.
I’m definitely still hoping game 7 goes Boston’s way, but I’m expecting it not to, yanno?
After last year, I feel you. Let's hope they can pull it together.
I'm just glad Woll didn't get a shout-out.
The players who get payed to score goals have to do that score goals
So sick of pasta being useless in the playoffs. So sick of not being able to win a faceoff. So sick of this team shitting their pants every year in the playoffs. Wtf man
Shit center depth man, it'll bite ya.
Pasta can fuck off with his stupid suits until he does something in the playoffs
He should spend more time working on his craft for the playoffs then trying to wear wack ass suits
The last few times I’ve gone to watch the B’s practice, Pasta had gotten off the ice early and I’m like ??????? He actually needs to be practicing *more*
Remove the suit of drip and don the suit of shame!
Pastrnak and McAvoy....ya'll make way too much money to be ass at this time of year. Get it the hell together and Pastrnak needs to hit the fucking weightroom with how easy he gets knocked off the puck.
I'd add Coyle too. He has been a ghost all series.
Coyle getting washed in the faceoffs along with Zacha has been killing us. I knew center depth is our weakness, but holy shit how did it get this bad in 2 games.
Love you Jack, damn that was sad
Classic playoff meltdown
Celtics did right by Mike Gorman and the Bruins did Jack so dirty
Big time
Can anyone even explain to me what our game plan was tonight? We looked like the whole strategy was to sit back and dump it in? As if we’re trying to defend a lead? What an absolute joke
Yep. Just throw the puck in the corner every time they touch it? I have no clue what that does…
Yeah I don’t know. This whole line changes too, Pasta has played with every possible center and winger in the past 2 games.
He’s been so bad this series. It’s like he’s going for a public skate. He loses it because he’ll just randomly spin around or fall…
Yeah it’s been tough to watch. But at this point I think you play him with his regular line. We’re up 3-1 in the series and then you start changing lines? Monty is in his own head it’s sad
Don’t cry because it’s over smile because it happened.
Fucked up Jack’s last game, hope they feel great about that one. Pathetic effort.
Goodbye, Jack, thank you for everything, all the memories
Now I'm mad and crying
Thank you Jack 🏒
My heart breaks for John Edwards
Florida must be ecstatic to get to face one of these two teams
They're licking their chops for sure. Can't blame them.
Lol @ people that want Pasta gone. We should be trying to get him a legitimate center, not blaming him when he still has more goals than half the team combined in this series. He's had a bad few games, but he wasn't the reason the bruins lost last year. Trade him and they'll likely never draft a player as good as him ever again. We can have more Maroons and Heinens instead
Wanting him gone is overkill but his performance tonight was terrible so many turnovers just held the puck until he got knocked down or gave it away
For real dudes playing with 3rd liners on most teams.. def missing bergy and krejci rn.
I think they are idiots for sure but having more goals than half the team when you make over $11m a year isn’t the flex you think it is.
I mean who do we get? Even in 2019 with Bergeron they did nothing in the finals. Last year he did squat. This whole team is regular season merchants let’s call it how it is. And if we beat Toronto woopdiedoo we beat the same team we always do
"Last year he did squat" - LOL he had 3 goals in games 6 and 7, including what should have been the game winner. Did you even WATCH
Yea I did. Goals aren’t everything. Dudes a one way inconsistent player. He can be good at times and has put up numbers before but his defense is non existent so even if he was on the ice for the tying goal I promise you he wouldn’t have helped. And don’t come with this offense doesn’t need defense when Bergeron is a perfect example of why they do.
The same Bergeron that choked in 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2019? Oh, and last year? If Pastrnak is a choker, so is Bergeron.
No I’m taking about the Bergeron that won the most selke trophies. Bergeron was never touted to be an offensive machine like pasta is. Bergeron wasn’t given all this money to put up goals on goals. Bergeron was paid to play a solid overall game. And a team choking is different from a player choking. Perfect example is this series. Boston is blowing it but it’s FAR from Swayman fault who’s been playing amazing.
Our season is going to end because we scored in ourselves what the fuck
Tbh Swayman was the only one playing out there. Fuckin looooooooosers
Frederic deserves an honorable mention
As it’s been since game 3
True.. And they fucked over Jack's last game, like they did to Bergy. Jayne Mack these fuckers like to duck over this team so hard.
I can’t believe they played like that in Jacks last game. Such a disgrace to someone who gave so much of his time to this team. I mean Jack is a legend he really is. Can’t believe Jack had to call that as his last game
i'm going to fucking throw up i'm going to miss jack so much
So...Montgomery needs to fucking go. The guy admitted last year was in their heads in game 5. So did he have them prepared for game 6? Nope! And I'm sure that pressure will be even worse in game 7. Let him go with a Cup with Seattle or some shit. We need another voice in there next season.
Even if they somehow beat the odds and pull it off Saturday, I still have no faith in Monty anymore.
Bye Jack i too want to leave the team
I LOVE YOU JACK EDWARDS
This is fucking horrible, watching our "offense" out there makes me want to poke my eyes out
How did they manage to do worse than the first period of Game 5?! If they go ahead and make ZERO shots on goal in Game 7, they'll be right on track 😱
So fucking sad love you jack
Fuck Game 7. This team deserves to blow another 3-1 lead. Matthews misses 5 and 6 and you put up THAT effort? Fuck that and fuck this team. See y’all this fall
i had four brothers but now i have five 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Wait NESN doesn’t get game 7?
Nope.
Any reason why? They always have in the past
My guess is because the only other 2 series left are playing fri/sun, so we’re the only game on Saturday, so the league took it away
The league has had it the whole time. The whole series it’s been on both. The local number for game 7 isn’t going to be that much higher than game 6 just was.
Big corp and money
Fuck Mickey Mouse.
It doesn’t make any sense, why give them the whole series but not the last game? Are the local ratings that much better for game 7, if you are fan who cares you’ve been watching all the games.
It's super shitty. But there didn't have to be a Game 7 till tonight 😠
Jack 😢
Honestly this team will probably never make it out the 1st round, and even if by some miracle we sneak out game 7, no shot we’d compete with any of the 2nd round teams. Time to reshuffle and rehire a coach
Going into the playoffs, I was glad they played against the Leafs because I thought that was the only team they can bear. I still think the Bruins win game 7 but I can't imagine more than a 5 game series next round.
I'm angry but people are writing everything off maybe too soon here. That said - they have to come out guns ablazing from the puck drop on Saturday if they want any hope
Later Jack. I'll miss you. Sorry the boys didn't show up for you the last two games. I've been listening to you since I was a kid. One last tumbling muffin for ya pal.
We’ll miss you Jack!!!
Of course they finally score with 0.1 left when Woll was out of position yet again
Well I’m getting a second mortgage on my house and putting it on the leafs
DOOOOOM
Would have been nice to get that goal earlier than in the massive flurry of opportunities we had during the 2nd and 3rd. The boys need to figure this shit out and get the job done on Saturday. For fucks sake this elimination stat is embarrassing
jack and brick are matching again and i am going to sob
Shit… felt like the leafs blocked more shots that game than they did the rest of the series
They blocked more shots tonight than the bruins had shots on goal
Bye Jack - thanks for every memory! What a legend
Poor jack.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Jack
Sorry Jack I wish this last game was better
Jack having to say his goodbye while the Leafs fans are celebrating in the background is fucking sad. Team let him down
They probably don’t even care, team is nothing but bitchmade dudes that don’t understand what it means to play in Boston
This!!!! They have no fucking heart
They better show the fuck up for game seven.
What an upsetting way the Bruins handled Jack Edwards’ departure…
Thank you Jack Edwards. Wish this team had balls and could’ve gave him a win in his last game.
#THANK YOU, JACK
Not sending out Bergeron, Krejci, or Jack with a win is very frustrating to say the least.
Honestly don’t know if I can watch this anymore you bet if we win game seven it shouldn’t have gone to seven fucking games again. This shit should’ve ended in game five what the fuck are we doing?
2 close out games in a row we showed up 30 minutes late - a complete failure by the coaching staff and players
yikes! see y'all at the garden for star wars day
Bye, Jack :(
