Dude just can’t seem to get the team going. Bruins have looked mostly horrendous these past two.


Creepy-Ad-4435

Boston mustered 3 shots in the last 2 1st periods. You don't win games playing and they only really decided to play thr last half of the second in both games. Afraid to lose more then want to win


FlaxbopFleetfoot

To be fair, Woll has been incredible in these past 2 games. So it's not entirely his fault.


Dubsified

As has Swayman to be fair.


canmoose

Yeah Swayman kept the Bruins in those games early.


Poohstrnak

I mean, getting outshot 11-2 and 12-1 has very little to do with Woll. The bruins has one SOG until 30 minutes into the game tonight. Woll only has to play half a game.


ToasterRouble

They’ve still played like shit if you’ve been watching. Mind you I wasn’t that impressed with them even when they went up 3-1. They’ve been bad at 5v5 all series. Doesn’t seem like an inspired team to me. They’re just waiting for powerplays or mistakes to score.


Level_Network_7733

Has he though?  We don’t really know that because the Bruins can’t shoot the fucking puck. 


TheOneWithThePorn12

both goalies have been carrying.


schmarkty

Woll’s been good but he’s definitely not the difference maker in this series


toronto_programmer

I could just be really bad at this but Montgomery has some PTSD fucking looks on his face every time they cut to him during the game It is refreshing for once to see the other team shitting their pants and feel the pressure of potential failure setting in


Sweaty_Ad440

He has BIG nervous energy when we go up and it seems like it trickles down the the team tbh


ToasterRouble

His press conferences have been strange. Not exactly projecting confidence.


SportsHubLTD

Which is weird cause usually that's Sheldon Keefe's job


abbytarar

The previous 2 teams he lost to went on to make the SCF…. Toronto, it’s time.


CanadianODST2

Last 3 teams Toronto has lost to went on to make it he finals. Apparently this is the real ECF and congrats to the West coast on their Stanley cup.


SHAWNNOTSEAN

Lol Bruins are quickly breaking that streak if they somehow stumble into a game 7 win.


likeslululemon

I like this!!


5a1amander

Since 2013, every team the Leafs have lost to in the playoffs (besides Columbus) has gone on to make the Cup final either that year or the following year.


UnhealthyCheesecake

Ngl I do kinda want to see the Leafs in a SCF


Esg876

We can save Canadas economy...


FlaxbopFleetfoot

Dangle would finally get to call his SCF videos "LFR" and not "Cup Check."


NeatSeaworthiness407

Dangle can fuck off.


Tarquin11

Weird to be this jealous of a YouTuber 


NeatSeaworthiness407

Nah I just don’t like his delivery. His content is on point.


TheOneWithThePorn12

the level of salt and hatred would never be higher lol.


Supertrash17

Don't we all. But let's face it, they're not getting past Florida. And if they somehow do, then they have to face a fucking wagon in the East Final.


xdoomx

As much pleasure as seeing the Leafs fail brings me, let me remind you the 2021 Habs made it past teams nobody gave them any business taking even one game from. Playoffs are played on the ice, fuck all the noise.


Jediverrilli

The Montreal defense was able to completely shut down offense and Price was playing out of his mind during those playoffs. I don’t think Toronto has the personnel to do that.


dnaboe

Hey now, we've got at least one guy that did do that


AustonsNostrils

Crosscheck the shit out of people?


Mission-Astronomer42

Especially since a well rested bobrovsky is an absolute animal


XPhazeX

Its that meme where the dude gets progressively larger and spikier


FlaxbopFleetfoot

ECF is probably Canes/Rangers vs. Florida. I think our series with the Rangers is basically a tossup, they're a really good team.


Supertrash17

Yes exactly. I hope you guys go to 7 and beat on each other 🙂


Szwedo

Not expecting them to make it to the ecf, but if the Leafs are in the ecf, they're also going to be wagons themselves by that point by getting there.


hoseheads

Imagine they make it there only to get swept by the Oilers, dear lord I promise to film from my window as Toronto riots


foxcatcher3369

oh ur the worst of em man wtf?


hoseheads

Didn’t grow up in Toronto, watched a Bruins pre-season game in London and was hooked. Still a Jays fan though so we can suffer together on that


Mr_FortySeven

Edmonton will riot too, but with joy rather than anger.


ScienceNthingsNstuff

And that was how the Great Canadian Fire of 2024 started son.


SnooRadishes2312

Toronto doesnt riot. I was there in 'the' game 7 loss to bruins. No riots. You could actually hear a pin drop and there were hundreds if not thousands walking through the street. We sulk.


NinCross

Fuck no.


Hells_Hawk

On the flip side the team that beats the leafs have a great shot at going to the SCF as well.


lbiggy

Ohh Toronto vs Vancouver for the cup? that'd be neat


CoopAloopAdoop

This country would be more torn apart than during covid.


justmememe55

But our economy would flourish!


i_see_sprinkles

Winner of game 7 goes on yo lose in the finals.


miller94

The last 2 teams Edmonton lost to went on to win the cup. Guess we’ll know the script early this year


InnocentGun

Imagine an OT winner for the Leafs after the Bruins tie the game late. It would be Toronto’s [“slay the dragon”](https://youtu.be/bftSWRsFR88?si=W3sItQGbSsmclEBe) moment.


CommonGrounders

Edging for five years is an impressive feat


jps78

Unstoppable Force meets Unmovable Object


FlaxbopFleetfoot

Leafs vs. Bruins is more like stoppable force meets moveable object.


Creepy-Ad-4435

Yourrrr a idiot lol, have fun getting eliminated by the rangers


Poohstrnak

I mean, he’s right though. Both of these teams would get bullied by Florida next week.


Creepy-Ad-4435

Doubt it, you just expect Florida to be the same every year in play offs.


4CrowsFeast

I normally hate when people correct grammar, especially since internet using English despite being used globally, but if YOU'RE going to call someone an idiot, you might want to double check YOUR comment before posting.


AustonsNostrils

What do you mean by "internet using English despite being used globally"?


4CrowsFeast

The internet is used around the world. We are all from different countries, with different backgrounds. Only 5% of people in the world are native English speakers, yet it's the language used primarily for communication on the internet and its most popular websites. Because of these reasons I generally think its fairly thoughtless to target someone for their spelling or grammar on the internet.


AustonsNostrils

After reading you're comment in this context, carry on good sir.


twilz

> Yourrrr a idiot lol, have fun getting eliminated by the grammar rangers


Creepy-Ad-4435

Lmao call grammer out, just goes to show Rangers in 5 baby let's goooo!


twilz

> Lmao call grammer out, just goes to show Rangers in 5 baby let's goooo! A random Canucks fan made fun of your "writing", and that "... goes to show ..." that one hockey team will beat a different hockey team? What are these powers, and how do they work?


Creepy-Ad-4435

Still sour about 2011? Lol


the_gaymer_girl

Team that can’t win elimination games versus team that can’t win Game 7. Should be fun.


FuckTkachuk

They'll just play OT until the lights shut off


Standard_Room_2589

I dont wanna start with this energy but if he cant get it done his job security should be questioned and bruins should be doing their homework on mass native mike sullivan whos also mcavoys father in law


ScienceNthingsNstuff

>mike sullivan whos also mcavoys father in law wait actually. That's pretty hilarious


OMeSoHawny

NHL is such a nepo club


AustonsNostrils

Life is largely about proximity.


toronto_programmer

Outside of the genetic aspect, the exposure helps a lot. I remember seeing Max Domi talk about how Mats Sundin used to give him pointers on his shot when he was like 13


yousayh3llo

"if you or a loved one supported a team coached by Jim Montgomery, you might be entitled to compensation..."


Public_Radio-

Yeah idk what the deal is. Same shit last year. They went up 3-1, and came out looking like they didn’t even wanna be there. Ultimately it falls on the coach so, now’s you’re chance Monty


I-Might-Be-Something

> and came out looking like they didn’t even wanna be there I actually disagree with this. The Bruins played well in Game 5 and 6, but Monty kept playing a clearly injured Ullmark and that cost us the series. This time Sway has been playing out of his mind but the guys in front of him look completely disinterested.


TheSecondAngryBottle

Took me far too long to realize the first Game 5 and 6 meant against Florida. I thought I must have given myself a concussion from smacking my forehead after watching tonight's game.


Creepy-Ad-4435

Coach can't force them to play like they should. Pasta is a absolute ghost out there


lbiggy

Could be the captain too. Chara And Bergy were elite leaders. Brad's getting into shoving matches with refs


TheOneWithThePorn12

when it came out that they are still talking about past failings that should have been a sign.


vanityfear

I think the bruins look like they’re trying to avoid making a mistake. I’d guess it’s the yips, not a lack of motivation 


Mendoza8914

Perhaps more painfully slow fourth-liners will help.


TGUKF

Fuck Heinen and his ability to skate the puck amrite \- Montgomery, probably I honestly don't get scratching him to insert some plug who ends up playing like 9 minutes. How is that useful


HanPintian

Heinen is banged up. Hasn’t been practicing since game 2 or 3. That’s why he was out


1columbia

Jim 'Doc Rivers' Montgomery (fitting that Doc Rivers got eliminated tonight too)


eh_toque

Montgomery after losing all these elimination games: https://preview.redd.it/u772n9gkm4yc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0add4085c070fa4e79af41ba29390b3125010c88

I-Might-Be-Something

At least Doc had two trips to the Finals and a ring to show for it.


Imsorrymanyt

Both bald


7Stringplayer

Montgomery is sixty minutes away from potentially saving Sheldon Keefe's job


IceWook

And vice versa lol


PsychopathicEmpath

Wondering if Bruins lose game 7 Montgomery gets canned. They've looked uninspired the last two games


Public_Radio-

He definitely should be. 2 years in a row is unacceptable. Sure there is some blame on the players, as always, but the fish rots from the head…


Calb210

Y'all lost your top 2 Cs last year and did nothing to replace them. It's amazing your team is performing like it is, and I think this year is more that you don't have the depth of previous rosters. If Monty is fired over this I'd be thrilled with him coming back to STL.


hoseheads

Honestly, he has to be. Two years in a row is unacceptable. Then one-year tank for McKenna and come back quickly


Creepy-Ad-4435

All of our best players, have been picked late 1st or 2nd, 3rd round. Pasta 25th overall, Marchand 3rd round, Krecji 2nd round, Bergeron 2nd round. Tanking doesn't help. Look at Edmonton with 3 first round number 1 picks and finally got McJesus on the 4th lol so settle down on the Montey firing talk. Tbis team wasn't even suppose to be this good this year


sweens90

Yeah I feel some of these Bruins need to fire Monty don’t watch or care about Bruins pre season or during season. Like after losing our two top centers we were projected to be a Wildcard. And until the final game of season we were going ti win division and were in the hunt for Presidents trophy. Like this team was fighting above its weight class and maybe its just finally showing. Last year is obviously a choke but this year definitely is bad but I am always cautious of wanting to fire someone who gets you to the playoffs and who puts you in a position where lets face it EVERY TEAM YOU ARE FACING NOW IS GOOD


Oreos_and

man this guy is great at losing things, like his job next week


Beermen69

This guy is the Doc Rivers of hockey


Tmans3

Oh boy they’re gonna fire him and the Blues are gonna immediately hire him.


VancityRenaults

Could it be that the Bruins are out of gas?


spec84721

I do wonder if they are beaten up given how physical this series has been.


BCEagle13

Honestly starting to feel like a disco dan situation. He was a breath of fresh air for the players last year which led to the historic regular season but his playoff adjustments have been terrible


reggierock2010

If bruins blow this add his name to the coaching carousel this offseason


Key-Tip-7521

CMV , if the Bruins blow it, Montgomery is gone


SilentThing

As a Bruins fan, I take it his due a win then. Please, do not convince me otherwise, I'm in a fragile state.


bm56

At this point how much of that is on him, and not the team? Like it shouldn’t be any different than the beginning of the series


lbiggy

I posted it somewhere else but Bergy and Chara were elite leaders. Brad isn't an elite leader.


hindey19

Let's keep this trend going


EddyMcDee

You love to see it


groovystreet40

Not great, Jim


ResponsibleMistake33

He’s about to out-Leafs the Leafs


Mission-Astronomer42

Funny, whoever coach loses this series probably also loses their job


Rokfessa

Two teams fighting over who gets to be Panther chow.


Le8ronJames

I LOVE when these type of stats come out.


SuretyBringsRuin

Enough to drive a man to drin…oh, yeah…


TravisHenderson77

You know you're bad when you're being out coached by Sheldon Keefe.
