I was trying to figure whether it’s worse than the Wingstop ads that air constantly during Celtics games. I think the Wingstop ads are worse, but it’s close.
Flex!

They’re both abominations. We should get hazard pay for being exposed to them so much this spring.

Team just doesn’t have a second gear when it comes to intensity. Far less accomplished Bruins teams could at least rise to occasions. This one doesn’t get too high or too low, which seems to be a good recipe for regular season horror movie monster plodding inexorability. But they’ve just got no ability to elevate.

Where’s the first gear. They’re playing in neutral. Or reverse

Does anyone have any theories? Like, what the fuq is going on?! Is it simply nerves/pressure or is there something else? How can such a good team with quality character wilt like this?
The B's are a middling, if not below average possession team. When their skills (and skill guys like Pastrnak) are off on a particular night, they're completely unable to make any kind of offensive plays.

It's primarily a personnel/depth issue IMO. This team has done well, but Bergeron's retirement was still a massive loss.

Double minor for being fucking lazy at the blue line and then retaliating against his opponent instead of himself.

Looked like a tiny cut on his chin. Probly got there from him scratching himself with his glove when he went down after getting hit in the shoulder.

If Coyle had gone down, they probably call it. Or they don't, and Toronto grabs the puck and scores.

Danton Heinen and Charlie Coyle are solid possession players. Heinan is out which messes with the lines somewhat and Coyle seems “meh” so far tonight. Without possession in the Ozone, Monty’s quality shots over quality shots does get work as well. Also Toronto is doing a good job of blocking shots
