I’d prefer the Celtics have the garden to themselves, finish the choke bruins!

Sadly at yhis point i would be very surprised if they won game 7. The Bruins just find ways to lose.

Being a Bruins fan has to be more frustrating than being a Celtics fan for sure.

The Bruins are a lot like a James Harden team. They dazzle in the regular season but lack the grit to win when it counts.

Honestly Marchand and Pastranak are a big part of the problem. They're great offensive players, but hit them in the mouth and they shrivel. And our defensemen are straight-up soft. Bruins fans don't want to acknowledge this but it's true.

Our style is not conducive to winning titles.

2011 is looking more and more like a fluke. Tim Thomas was legendary but they got young, talented guys with grit around him too. Swayman has been a beast this whole series and has kept us in every single game, it's just all the guys in front of him are soft chokers. Would be nice if Pastrnak could actually show up too. For a guy who has these insane regular seasons on offense he disappears far too much in the postseason. Like the James Harden of hockey.

They could be the first team in the NHL history to blow a 3-1 lead in CONSECUTIVE years. And the sad thing is, the B's feel like the right team to make that sort of history, it's been fitting for many years now. Lots of chokes and heartbreaks.

A little strange that people focus on the Bruins players when they disappoint, instead of a knee jerk reaction to blame the coach.

Actually I'll take it a step further. First team in ALL OF MODERN SPORTS if that happens.

No pressure B's  :P

The rest of the NHL playoffs should be decent though

Montgomery is gonna be the fall guy just like Claude and Cassidy in the recent past, but if they lose tonight then they should be looking at simply the players, particularly the core group that's been here for a while (Pasta, McAvoy, Coyle, Marchand, etc.). It's literally the same story with this team over the past decade. "Lack of secondary scoring", "can't finish out series", "blown leads", "lack of toughness" at some point it's got to all be on the players.

Would be nice if Pasta actually woke up, same with Coyle, McAvoy and Zacha. Most of them have just disappeared for yet another postseason. Same story. Getting tired of it.

If they lose tonight I'd prefer to just move on from as many guys as we can and just rebuild. We also need to accept that McAvoy is a good player, not *great/elite*. That's all he is.

B's could have 28M in cap space this offseason which is nice but I'd still prefer to just start afresh and with a new, younger core if possible.

OMG B's might have caught a break. Woll is OUT. It's Samsanov tonight, the same goalie the B's shredded in the first four games of the series before they made the change. I guess Woll is hurt?

So many clownish plays by the Bad News Bears. That Leafs breakaway at the end of the Boston PP literally had me laughing. So dumb. Just bad fundamentals, not knowing the clock situation. Swayman is bailing them out big time. So far.
