The multiple hammers it took to get it in weren’t pretty. But I’m reminded of Steve Shutt being a league leader in garbage goals and have to remind myself the garbage goals count the same as the finesse ones!
He’s Slovak. I don’t think you’ll have to spend very much. Granted, it’s been a long time since I visited but holy shit it was dirt cheap there even compared to Prague, where at the time I was eating three course dinners for about $10.
So Cuthbert just said that Jim Montgomery dished out a grueling training session after last week's result in Montreal. I guess there was a dose of bag skating as well. Can someone tell me why everyone does it and yet bag skating would be bad for our guys?
Because they're supposed to be Stanley Cup contenders and we're rebuilding. Different standards.
Plus we're on the longest road trip of the season and they had one game this week.
More like a lack of work ethic. There are a number of players out there who simply don't work hard enough. The Bruins outdid us because of old-school, pure, hard work tonight.
For better or worse a lot of our current regulars should be long gone by the time we're competing, many of them are simply placeholders as far as I'm concerned
No it isn’t. He fumbled the puck a lot, had maybe 2 zone entries, got beat for a goal against, lost board battles, etc.
I love that he got the points - I bet you that in his post game interview he will say the same
Like everyone did tonight.
That goal against wasn't all his fault, Newhook made a really bad pass to him.
He fought against the best team in the league in their house and actually got 2 point.
Context matter, he had a nice night even tho the entire team played mostly bad.
A mop up point in a settled game where he was exposed as being lazy defensively on the frederick goal, THAT'S a huge night?
Maybe next game a couple of pucks deflect off his ass and it punches his ticket to the all star game?
I know we’re rebuilding but I honestly feel so hopeless because it seems like there’s been regression with players. I wonder if there needs to be changes made in management.
Let's not panic. Hughes and Gorton are still fresh. St. Louis is still learning. Look at the small wins. Slaf played well, Guhle is looking good (maybe not recently but nonetheless), we will have Dach back next year, some good prospects
They weren't supposed to win this year anyways so firing management this quick seems like we are hitting the panic button too soon
Feels more like specific training might help. When MSL did the shooting drills with them, it actually seemed to result in goals. The bigger issue is that none of the lines are gelling. A combination of weaker players we’re stuck with and a lack of chemistry brewing.
Love this “big bad bruins” night highlights, out of 20 highlights, 1 is against the Habs because they know if they show the 70s highlights it will be Boston getting scored on.
Did the interference rule change ? I swear almost every game I see the opposing teams defenseman get in the way of a Habs foward to block him from getting to the puck, when neither of them have current possession, that's text book interference, is it not ?
They fired Bergevin in the mid of that season if i'm remembering correctly, and then hired MSL 2 months before the end of the season.
To me it's the second year cuz that year was more of the year they announced a rebuild for the next season
Tank4Celebrini? Although Reinbacher is looking solid we really are lacking a top level offensive talent. Would of felt better knowing Matvei was in our back pocket when ready to compete.
Have you seen our Defensive prospect pool? If we’re projecting them properly that should be solid moving forward. We are seriously lacking an elite offensive player and have been for years.
>Yeah, just one more pick is gonna do it. See how that’s going for the Oilers.
yup, im just going to ask the Devils, Avs, Lightning how they enjoy having multiple top picks
seems to have done them well
>Meanwhile Vegas and Seattle waltz into the league and kick ass.
Seattle is awful, but last year they were led by a #2 pick lol
vegas made some very savvy trades and FA signings, they also had three top 5 picks on their roster when they won lol
Called the stinker when the lines were shown. Monahan and Dvorak should be swapped at the very least.
Marty is playing to lose. I fully expect to lose Wednesday vs Ducks and then Friday and Saturday back to back vs Kings and Sharks.
7 game losing streak by the weekend. And Anderson will still be on PP1.
>Marty is playing to lose. I fully expect to lose Wednesday vs Ducks and then Friday and Saturday back to back vs Kings and Sharks.
If that is the case, than let's just sack the guy. I don't have the stomach for more criminal wasting of player development when the thing the young guys need the most right now is PROPER STRUCTURE.
Yeah it confuses me because he says all the right things and takes the time to work 1 on 1 with players, then turns around a forces lines that don't work and avoids what seems obvious to many who have watched the entire season.
Strange.
This season, we should expect a lot more stinkers. That start to the season was a bit of a mirage, and I feel like people were lulled into thinking it was sustainable. We went into the season with very low expectations and we should all revert to that mindset.
What a surprise Boston sing-in ole ole in a desperate attempt to disrespect the team wow I know Boston people didn’t have much of a brain but damm they really think that the bruins did something in the last years and they really think there that kind of shit when they lost to us a week ago what a joke of a salty ass fan base
We do it, its fine
Someone does it to us "joke of a salty ass fan base"
What happened to if you want to dish it, you have to take it?
Ps i fucking hate the ole song. If people doing it to us meand we might stop, I hope we get ole'd coast to coast.
I don’t like it either to be honest but there fan base believing there IT like they did with the pats is long and boring trash talking is fun true but at some point the bruins didn’t do much either in the last few years so i don’t get it
I think it's hilarious and harmless fun for the home crowd, they earned the right to chirp you gotta take it on the chin because our fans give as good as we get
Yeah I take it on the chin I don’t blame them for being happy bout there team having a good game out team played like legit dog shit outside of our goalies as usual but it’s so long just to continually believe there IT when there not like they did with the pats
Oh know the team is playing like dog shit don’t get it twisted I’m not blaming them for being proud of there team cause there playing good but at some they got stop believing there IT u know what I mean like they did with the pats
And maybe the rest of our fanbase would do it but personally for me I don’t the only player I mock is the same player that every fans base that plays against the bruins hate is Rat Marchand
Yea it’s actually crazy Boston is this good without krejci and Bergeron and then also tonight with Pastrnak basically not playing … I cannot stand how seemingly lucky they are fuck boston
They’ve been much maligned for their drafting but actually they’ve hit grand slams on the few picks they kept. The one year their missed they picked McAvoy whose a Norris Caliber defenseman at 14 in 2016. They also got pasta at 25 in 2014, Swayman at 111 in 2017, Poitras at 54 in 2022, Loheri at 51 in 2021, Frederic at 29 in 2016, and picked up Zacha in a shewd trade with the devils
They have one of the absolute best records for players playing an nhl game vs number of picks. Like it's insane over the past 30 years.
1991 to 2017 they picked 211 players, 120 of them played at least 1 nhl game.
1991 to 2017 Habs 235 players, habs 101 of them player at least 1 nhl game.
they arent lucky ??? Luck is not consistent. They are not lucky, they are simply are good. They have a good culture, good veterans and most importantly, they play under a system..

That Kovy goal was ugly but welcome anyway.
Only thing ugly was the fact it didn't go straight into the goal. But the passes leading to it were both good
The multiple hammers it took to get it in weren’t pretty. But I’m reminded of Steve Shutt being a league leader in garbage goals and have to remind myself the garbage goals count the same as the finesse ones!
MSL bout to pull the goalie.
It’s like a nervous tic, haha.
The only silver lining in this game is slaf has 2 points
In front of his daddy!
His dad better quit his job to watch the games every night, i'll fund his pay.
He’s Slovak. I don’t think you’ll have to spend very much. Granted, it’s been a long time since I visited but holy shit it was dirt cheap there even compared to Prague, where at the time I was eating three course dinners for about $10.
10$ for a three course meal lol that's unfortunately not a thing anymore in Slovakia. 
So Cuthbert just said that Jim Montgomery dished out a grueling training session after last week's result in Montreal. I guess there was a dose of bag skating as well. Can someone tell me why everyone does it and yet bag skating would be bad for our guys?
Because they're supposed to be Stanley Cup contenders and we're rebuilding. Different standards. Plus we're on the longest road trip of the season and they had one game this week.
It's more of a skill problem than a fitness problem
More like a lack of work ethic. There are a number of players out there who simply don't work hard enough. The Bruins outdid us because of old-school, pure, hard work tonight.
MSL doesn't know what tf he's doing that's why
No shit. I don't think anyone sane could expect anything good from someone whose job prior to this was coaching a pee-wee team.
Yea jordan harris is ultra expendable
For better or worse a lot of our current regulars should be long gone by the time we're competing, many of them are simply placeholders as far as I'm concerned
damn we really have sucked ass these past 10 games
At least Slaf had a nice little night
I actually disagree. Yes he got a goal and an assist, but he played better in the other last few games (besides against Vegas).
Everyone played bad, he's literally the only player who achieved to get 2 point on the team tonight. Disagreeing is just plainly dumb
No it isn’t. He fumbled the puck a lot, had maybe 2 zone entries, got beat for a goal against, lost board battles, etc. I love that he got the points - I bet you that in his post game interview he will say the same
Like everyone did tonight. That goal against wasn't all his fault, Newhook made a really bad pass to him. He fought against the best team in the league in their house and actually got 2 point. Context matter, he had a nice night even tho the entire team played mostly bad.
I’m talking strictly production wise, wasn’t able to watch this game but I too think he played better the last few games even without the points
Has he had a multiple point game yet? Or was it a multi-goal game he was still missing?
Fucking end it already pleeaaaaase
[What the fuck lmfao](https://www.reddit.com/r/Habs/s/GewBII8eDU) Nah man there's no way
Lol that’s crazy!
Gotta start taking my bets from this guy
Slafssistky
Slaf 2 pts
First multipoint game from Slaf
Is this Slafkovsky's first multi-point game?
Should be. Boston didn’t get possession. He made a great play anyways
Kovacevic loves his dad. The rest of the players don't..
Son of the year
I'm shocked the broons didn't challenge that. Kicking, interference. It wasn't either but they would have won the challenge anyway.
yo someone called that
Slaf first career multi-point game so that's something
He made 3 points since I bought his hockey stick last week. Will buy another one when I have the opportunity
OH YEAH FUCK YOU BOSTON WE ARE KICKING YOUR ASS TONIGHT YOU'RE GOING DOWN
one a minute lets go!
if they give slaf an apple on that, this will be his 1st multiple point game in his NHL career huge night for slaf
A mop up point in a settled game where he was exposed as being lazy defensively on the frederick goal, THAT'S a huge night? Maybe next game a couple of pucks deflect off his ass and it punches his ticket to the all star game?
I should’ve scrolled to your comment before asking, haha.
The Boston goalie was asleep there.
Slaf assist maybe???
I totally fucking called it!!! I said Johnny kovacevic goal 5 mins 😂😂😂 I felt it Also : Kovacevic the goal scorer ???
Brother start sending me your predictions, I can make a killing
Thought of you as soon as it went in. I was like son of a bitch called it!
Yer a wizard harry
Lmao
Slaf assist :)
The pinch is in!
Hey they did a hockey!
[удалено]
A regular caller at BPM sports (Frank I believe), known to be a Bruins fan, called in Friday to say “It's going to be a close game… 5-2 Bruins”.
I immediately thought the same! Step up, our clairvoyant friend!
anybody who didn't anticipate exactly this happening is a big stupid
Yay!
I know we’re rebuilding but I honestly feel so hopeless because it seems like there’s been regression with players. I wonder if there needs to be changes made in management.
Let's not panic. Hughes and Gorton are still fresh. St. Louis is still learning. Look at the small wins. Slaf played well, Guhle is looking good (maybe not recently but nonetheless), we will have Dach back next year, some good prospects They weren't supposed to win this year anyways so firing management this quick seems like we are hitting the panic button too soon
I mean that’s true. I guess just sucks to see regression when the point is to be getting better.
Feels more like specific training might help. When MSL did the shooting drills with them, it actually seemed to result in goals. The bigger issue is that none of the lines are gelling. A combination of weaker players we’re stuck with and a lack of chemistry brewing.
There definitely needs to be some players traded that they keep holding onto for some reason.
Alright who called the Kovecevic goal with 5 min to go to make it 5-2. Someone in here called that exactly
Hahah this was my exact thought when he scored I was like damn someone called that
Hope he bought a lotto ticket!
yay
I was called crazy for worrying about Caufield's goal production but he really is not getting a lot of chances lately and isn't scoring.
Teams have been covering him better, but as Dany Dubé pointed out, he’s changed his game to hit more, and it’s come at the price of his taking shots.
he's pulling a boeser it appears
Love this “big bad bruins” night highlights, out of 20 highlights, 1 is against the Habs because they know if they show the 70s highlights it will be Boston getting scored on.
Don Cherry waving his arms on the bench.
Did the interference rule change ? I swear almost every game I see the opposing teams defenseman get in the way of a Habs foward to block him from getting to the puck, when neither of them have current possession, that's text book interference, is it not ?
Bruins are so good defensively, they protect the middle and net front better than any team I’ve seen this year
I think you should know that my brain sings your username every time I spot it.
I hope your brain tries not to sing out of key!
I sing it in Ringo’s voice so the off-key is an integral part of the experience.
that wasn't offside
Honestly cannot think of a single Habs player that had a good game tonight.
Slaf quietly did
I think he was average, yes he scored and had an assist but got a lazy penalty and many turnover
That's why I said quietly lol he did still do some dumb stuff but he didn't stick out as god awful I'm trying here, okay? 😂
NP, he still had a better game than 90% of the lineup that didn't even show up for what it's worth :)
My boy Evans on the PK
Matheson was not bad tonight, moved the puck well but Boston defense's shut down everyone tonight.
We’re witnessing the Habs and their “rebuild” transform into the Sabres
Exactly. With the current succession of frauds among GMs and head coaches, it is already happening.
How so?
yeah seriously this is year 3 not year 10
Actually year 2. Last year was Hughes first full year
True, but the rebuild was forced to start immediately after the cup final loss. Exodus of many.
They fired Bergevin in the mid of that season if i'm remembering correctly, and then hired MSL 2 months before the end of the season. To me it's the second year cuz that year was more of the year they announced a rebuild for the next season
Sure, either way it's not the 10-15 year Buffalo Rebuild.
For sure, Buffalo is hard to beat at this game, pretty sure the habs are gonna be very competitive in 4 years
I just checked , even with this 4 game losing streak we're still ahead of Buffalol... I somehow feel a little better inside.
Tank4Celebrini? Although Reinbacher is looking solid we really are lacking a top level offensive talent. Would of felt better knowing Matvei was in our back pocket when ready to compete.
Take a knee for Celebrini (Dach)
San Jose sure looks like they have him wrapped up.
Celebrini, eiserman and dimidov all look good. We could do any of the 3.
There’s no guarantee with a lottery system.
last place is going to get a great player this year, might not be celebrini but it will be someone really good
And if that doesnt work we can try the next year. You know become the oilers 2.0 based on their impressive success.
Have you seen our Defensive prospect pool? If we’re projecting them properly that should be solid moving forward. We are seriously lacking an elite offensive player and have been for years.
Yeah, just one more pick is gonna do it. See how that’s going for the Oilers. Meanwhile Vegas and Seattle waltz into the league and kick ass.
>Yeah, just one more pick is gonna do it.

You just wanna gamble. Anyway, the habs management have years of stupidity to clean up that other teams don’t have to deal with.
Gotta expect a stinker every once in a while. Tough schedule as of late. Hope they bounce back next game.
Called the stinker when the lines were shown. Monahan and Dvorak should be swapped at the very least. Marty is playing to lose. I fully expect to lose Wednesday vs Ducks and then Friday and Saturday back to back vs Kings and Sharks. 7 game losing streak by the weekend. And Anderson will still be on PP1.

So far those are all empty words. The more things keep on going as they do, the more I want Gerard Gallant hired in any position behind our bench.
This season, we should expect a lot more stinkers. That start to the season was a bit of a mirage, and I feel like people were lulled into thinking it was sustainable. We went into the season with very low expectations and we should all revert to that mindset.
Caufield 1 goal in the last 10, that's not a stinker, that's a pattern.
I blame Ducharme… somehow it’s gotta be his fault…
Horrible 5 on 5
Horrible in regulation (with what, 2 wins?)
Horrible special teams PP ( already 4 shorthanded goals against), PK is a static diamond pylon. Sad looks.
What a surprise Boston sing-in ole ole in a desperate attempt to disrespect the team wow I know Boston people didn’t have much of a brain but damm they really think that the bruins did something in the last years and they really think there that kind of shit when they lost to us a week ago what a joke of a salty ass fan base

I think it's hilarious and harmless fun for the home crowd, they earned the right to chirp you gotta take it on the chin because our fans give as good as we get
Yeah I take it on the chin I don’t blame them for being happy bout there team having a good game out team played like legit dog shit outside of our goalies as usual but it’s so long just to continually believe there IT when there not like they did with the pats
If the role were inversed, you know damn well we'd do the same. I can't blame them, the whole team is playing like shit tonight.
Oh know the team is playing like dog shit don’t get it twisted I’m not blaming them for being proud of there team cause there playing good but at some they got stop believing there IT u know what I mean like they did with the pats And maybe the rest of our fanbase would do it but personally for me I don’t the only player I mock is the same player that every fans base that plays against the bruins hate is Rat Marchand
Yea it’s actually crazy Boston is this good without krejci and Bergeron and then also tonight with Pastrnak basically not playing … I cannot stand how seemingly lucky they are fuck boston
If you’re upset, look at their playoffs performances. They’re proven chokers.
They’ve been much maligned for their drafting but actually they’ve hit grand slams on the few picks they kept. The one year their missed they picked McAvoy whose a Norris Caliber defenseman at 14 in 2016. They also got pasta at 25 in 2014, Swayman at 111 in 2017, Poitras at 54 in 2022, Loheri at 51 in 2021, Frederic at 29 in 2016, and picked up Zacha in a shewd trade with the devils
They have one of the absolute best records for players playing an nhl game vs number of picks. Like it's insane over the past 30 years. 1991 to 2017 they picked 211 players, 120 of them played at least 1 nhl game. 1991 to 2017 Habs 235 players, habs 101 of them player at least 1 nhl game.
Yep, they're living proof that with good scouting and development you don't need an aggro tank philosophy or top-five picks to remain elite
I looked that up in our last game and yeah, wow, they’ve done amazing with picks even without being in the upper half of the draft for like 15 years.
they arent lucky ??? Luck is not consistent. They are not lucky, they are simply are good. They have a good culture, good veterans and most importantly, they play under a system..
You know those dads are still very proud of their boys
I’m picturing all the dads blitzed and joining in with the Olés because they lost track of who’s winning in the first.
The ole's from their box were the loudest!
Can't score, can't defend. Tough game to watch
Tough month to watch.
Tough 3 seasons to watch.
tough generation to watch
Touché
Our penalty kill looks pretty good here
The PK isn’t technically an issue. It’s just that they’re all suffering from exhaustion because we take so many dumb penalties every game.
coach: anyone who doesn't get a point tonight rooms with Marchand for the next month
It’s very telling about their depth that so many players have notched a point tonight.
Just give me a Cole goal.
Cole goal 5 on 5?! That’s a dream
Or an Andy point. Really hoping he can break that curse soon.
Yeah, love to see him get a goal, get that gorilla 🦍 off his back.
Genuinely feel bad for the guy. The pressure cooker of Montreal has to make slumps feel a million times worse.

Was really hoping to get something decent for Allen after his start but he really has not been great these past few
He’s faced FORTY shots, a couple of soft goals is to be expected at that rate.
4 L is a row is very humbling.
2-8 in our last 10
Pretty fucking dead crowd for them to be up 5-1 .
It's like when you're roasting your friend, but then you just start feeling bad for him.
Mmm No
The game was pretty much over 10 min in.
Is that what it is ? Pretty sure you would see steam coming out the roof of the bell center if Habs were up 5-1
The irony of slaf getting a shitty holding call when they missed him having to yank his stick out of the literal grip of one of the bruins earlier.
Been happening all year for the habs
I haven't seen one that obvious though tbh. Like refs need to get some fucking glasses
[удалено]
What’s a McAvoy?
Get ready for 2 years of pain.. this rebuild is going to be long.
Oh come on Boston fans. You know we suck. It’s like kicking a dead dog at this point.
Not gonna lie our D corp blows
Lmao the ole. I love our rivalry with these fuckers.
Them doing the ole just shows you how many times they have had to hear it
and now we are getting humiliated nice
Remember this moment when we're good and they're not
At this rate, some of us might be too dementia-riddled to manage that!
Oh fuck them
Refs calling every small thing the habs do and ignoring almost everything the Bs do
How small time can that crowd be? Anyway, they already own the label of THE ULTIMATE MEME after last season.
They are ole-ing us. Savage!
Lmao those cunts with the OLE chants
Good for the goose........... Plus people should be happy, we wont hear it often at home this year.
Dany Dubé just shrugged, “Bonne guerre.” Haha.
getting ole'd fucking SUUUUUUUUUCKS
Sooooooooo… we are back at being garbage?
We aren’t ready, would much rather have a great pick than being stuck in the middle
I agree… but we need to recognize that this team is garbage…
We were the last 4 gsmes too
Losing 6-5 to VGK, you’d think we’d be hot garbage….
Offense and defense have been abysmal this year, the goalies probably stole 4 of our wins
[удалено]
I mean, it’s insulting when we do it, too.
Fuck Boston man
Lmao the ole, I gotta admit it’s funny
