Je vérifie simplement le niveau de préoccupation générale. De toute évidence, toujours en bonne forme dans l’ensemble et en train de générer constamment des points, mais ils sont juste en retard pour établir le record des matchs en prolongation (je pense que le record de B avait déjà établi avec 30) et ils sont le troisième pire de la ligue avec des avances en fin de match. Ils sont également le leader de la ligue pour les buts accordés avec le retrait du gardien adverse. Ils sont au milieu du peloton en marquant sur le filet vide de l’adversaire. Il est presque aussi probable que l’un se produise que l’autre cette année. Est-ce de la chance, de l’endurance, un défaut stratégique ? Juste curieux.

We were supposed to be a lot worse than this, so I’m just happy with the points. As we saw last year, regular season performance means shit in playoffs anyway.
It concerns me because my blood pressure is high enough as it is. It would be nice to watch a third period with a 2 goal lead and not worry about an OT loss.
It’s moderately concerning but there’s still plenty of time to figure it out before the playoffs. It’s possible we make a trade or two and the whole situation changes. It’s also possible that nothing will improve before April. But I’m not going to worry until we see how the Bruins adjust in the coming months
Very. They can’t finish games.
This is especially problematic in the playoffs when they’re up and a team pulls their goalie. 6 on 5 and it’s game over for them.
Good stat sheet. Rangers playing Blue Jackets tonight. This won’t hurt.
Very concerned. The Bruins don’t wear teams down, in fact it’s very much the other way around. It seems they spend entirely too much time in their own end. It seems what knocked them out last year is still an issue.
Reminds me of the 2001 or 2002 Bruins.. would always give the lead or game away in the last 3 minutes of the game. So this is not good. This team won’t go far at this rate..
About as concerned with OT loss percentage
Makes for a stressful experience watching games. Especially when Jack spouts out the “Bruins are x-y and z when up by 2 goals” and y and z are getting closer to x every time he says it.
Is not the type of team that will win playoff games
This has been happening for decades.
2004
2010
2013
2018
2019
Etc…
Frustrating for sure but I’ll take a positive viewpoint for it, trying to find a silver lining.
We didn’t have any issues like this last year, and we never had any reference points to learn from like this. If I remember right, we had a similar spell in December 2018 going into 2019 and the guys were able to figure it out and go on a hot streak after.
I just would rather it happen now than in April or May
Ummm verrrry worried
Meh, just another day in the life of a Bruins fan.
I’m worried. The guys come out for the third period looking gassed, and that’s also when Pasta starts giving no shits. It’s very concerning.
VERY
It needs to be addressed, but I won’t panic about it until after the TDL.
To me, this is fits and foremost a result of adjusting to life after Bergeron.
They lost a lot of reliable vets they could deploy in end of game situations after last season- Bergeron, Hall, Foligno and a few others in the last few seasons, going back to losing Chara.
This season, they’re relying a lot on younger guys for depth and as a result, asking some older guys to play lots of big minutes, which I think leaves them gassed toward the end of close games.
Factor in the decline of Forbort and Gryz being really streaky and it starts to make sense why it’s happening.
I think Lindholm has been underperforming at times too, and they also miss the depth of having a guy like Clifton stabilizing their D and letting them not lean too hard on McAvoy.
Anyway, they still have important pieces in place so I think they can address it and I think they will.
Massively concerned. But they won’t win the cup anyway
Very concerned. We gotta 86 that shit asap
I’m more concerned that they can’t score worth shit. Pasta is the only one scoring. plus, they can’t win face-offs anymore.
Sure miss Bergy. They’ll be gone in the first round of playoffs…guaranteed…
Oh well….at least we had 2011….
I definitely feel that they are not built to win in pressure games. Fingers crossed that I am wrong about that but the playoffs are also a completely different beast when games get late and tight. Not sure this core can handle it. IMO, we somehow need a few solid vets at the deadline without completely gutting the team.
Extremely worried to the point where I’m starting to lose all faith in this season.
I’m relatively concerned but I’m also very concerned with this team’s propensity to lose in overtime, Because losing in overtime doesn’t help you in the playoffs.
Can’t blow a lead if you don’t lead. 🤔🤔🤔
Damn, you guys have all lost hope it seems. I still think we can have a good playoff run, we have insanely good goaltending and strong enough offense, just need to tighten up the D and put a little more heart into it before the playoffs.
A lot of people are saying another first round exit but we have competed well enough against a lot of the strongest teams this season like the avalanche, the jets, panthers and stars. Been quite a few bad games but let’s not act like the season is already a wash.
Eh they need help that’s not coming… They don’t have a 4th line and don’t have a 3rd pair on D. It’s not really a concern considering they were supposed to be fighting for a playoff spot this year. It was always a reset year and they just need to get into the playoffs and see if Swayman can get hot at the right time.
A different subject, but we don’t need Hanifin…we need a forward who can score. We don’t wanna trade our draft picks…especially when we’re going nowhere this season anyway….
Mind you, it’s a miracle that we can still compete, even after loosing Bergy, Krejci, Hall, Foligno, Orlov, and Hathaway. Great coaching and great culture sure goes a long way…
In all reality, I don’t think I’m crazy concerned about blown leads right now. The team to this point has already defied expectations. We weren’t supposed to be top 3 in the league 2/3 of the way through the season. Could we do a Reverse Edmonton and drop 16 in a row? Sure, it’s possible. But barring an absolutely monumental collapse, I think we’re still in a good place. Do the blown leads suck? Yes. Does it hurt to see us fall flat on our faces during what should be an easy win? Fucking yes. But every team goes through cold streaks, and we’re so used to winning that we’ve forgotten how to take an L.
Those are just my disorganized thoughts on what’s been going on. Shit hurts but we’re still first in the division.
At least we’re not Columbus. I can’t imagine having a team that bad and also having to live in Ohio.
Very. Our defense right now is becoming too lax. Can’t clear the puck out of our end, we’re down one of our best D-man, we’re keeping Forbort on the ice for some ungodly reason. Idk what it’s gonna take to clean this shit up, but they need to figure out or else it’s another early playoff bounce for us
Honestly surprised there are two teams that have more blown leads than the Bs.
You need to have a lot of leads, to be near the top of Blown Leads list!
Very. Our OTL is deplorable. We need to win games in regulation. And then if it ends up in OT, finish the job.
Our problem isn’t taking leads, it’s that we don’t keep the foot on the peddle once we take it, we get too comfortable. This is exactly why we lost to the Panthers last year, game 6 every time we tied the game we slowed down and got scored on, game 7 there was no urgency to win after sending it to overtime.
Not concern. Still in a play-off spot. If they were fighting for a wild card spot, then yes it would be concerning
Extremely. This is a trend that shows the lack of overall offensive firepower, defensive stops late in games. It simply won’t do in the playoffs. It also shows a lack of adjustments by Monty late in the game, lack of control.
