@JustinmTurpin @WEEI 8 of which were 3 point attempts, and two low percentage turn around jumpers. Zero points, zero free throw attempts, zero passes into the paint. Fire the coach

It was 99-96, and the Celtics missed 10 straight shots. That'll do it.

@smclaughlin9 @TCalauttis Feel like Sturm has said all the right things but the message isn’t being enacted on the ice. And it’s not a coaching thing, the message has been the same in the playoffs for 3 coaches now, get to the middle, get to the dirty areas of the ice.

Marco Sturm on the Bruins offense going quiet over the final four games: “If you look around the playoffs now, how goals get scored, it's everything is in the paint. For some reason we didn't get there, and we didn't get those garbage goals we needed at this time of year.”
Scott McLaughlin@smclaughlin9

FINAL: Sabres 4, Bruins 1 Buffalo wins the series 4-2. The Bruins scored one goal in regulation in each of the final four games of the series.

@PeterTenkrat Firepower can’t do much when the mental aptitude for hockey seems to disappear at home. I just don’t see the effort, they should’ve come out flying. 110% effort, hit everything that moves. And they just…don’t

They gotta figure this out man, been this way before Sturm. Not really up to the fans to change their expectations of the team it’s up to the team to meet them. Would help if the team had more firepower to meet the expectations but this is where we’re at.

Sturm on home struggles: “We didn’t think on the road. I’m just talking how I feel. We felt the pressure being at home. We feel the pressure because we care. We want to prove people wrong. These guys care.”

@ConorRyan_93 They also didn’t make any adjustments to their offensive game for playoff hockey. Not enough shots from the D, not enough net front presence, not enough jam to their game.

@bruins_ig It’s exhausting for the D too because you spend so much time defending in your own zone if you don’t have the speed and physicality to kill plays on D

Bruins need to change their structure next season. Their forecheck doesn’t support the puck enough and they trap too much. Defensively, man to man is awful. Why is Zacha responsible for Tage in the crease? Current system is exhausting for centers and bad overall

Pastrnak expected McAvoy to win the race with Doan. McAvoy expected Pastrnak to win the race with Doan. Neither won the race with Doan. Neither knew Hampus Lindholm was just gonna chill in the neutral zone. Brutal.

@_TyAnderson @IH8fanatics They never tested Lyon. Not even a little. I can’t remember one instance where he froze a puck with a bruin in his face.

@IH8fanatics Vince, respectfully, I can't take you serious on this topic anymore lol. When Swayman plays well you want to credit the team but you want to credit Lyon for this when he was barely tested for large stretches of this. Come on dude. Gotta be consistent.

@MikeFromWoburn I would argue the order should be reversed. You had ample opportunity to bury them early and your team didn’t have the killer instinct and determination to know when the moment calls for full intensity

The Bruins lost because: 1. Buffalo is a much more talented, better team except for goaltending. 2. The 2nd line that carried the Bruins scoring all season dried up. 3. Guys that are paid well to support the cornerstones of the roster play well below expectations. 4. Coaching

@_TyAnderson @1983chelseaHigh @NHLBruins I like Sturm but I feel like his system is entirely too passive for playoff hockey. Sitting back and inviting a superior team to come at them with pace instead of forcing them into mistakes with pressure

@1983chelseaHigh @NHLBruins This was posted before they gifted them that third goal. They were pushing for a few minutes there and actually forcing the Sabres to make mistakes.

@FlyingOrr It feels worse knowing they could have easily been up early in this series and doesn’t feel like they ever take these games seriously enough to play with enough pace and urgency to win

A lot to be disappointed in. Many of us felt regardless of who the Bruins played, they wouldn't make it past the first round. Many of us also felt that the upside of selling at the deadline and harvesting extra assets is better than a first round exit. Alas, here we are. First round exit, no additional assets.

@Cacoila We haven’t earned any. Just never prepared for the intensity of a road team playing a grind a game. Can’t exit cleanly or play with enough pace to beat the forecheck consistently

@mattmurley19 @spittinchiclets This strategy has been silently killing all series. Peeling off and inviting the best rush team in the league to come at you full speed. It’s maddening as a rational bruins fan

They won, but they still have to find a way to score in the playoffs that isn’t a gimmick.
