  1. Attention B’s fans, if you’re attending the game on January 25. Please do all of the following:
    1. Only wear black and gold ⚫️ 🟡
    2. Take the MBTA to North Station
    3. Arrive early
    4. Boo the Avs as loud as you can when they come out of the tunnel
    5. Cheer your heart out

  2. Bad coaching. Zacha!? Coyle!?! 2 of the most underachieving players they have. Marchand not taking s shot?! Lindholm!? Potty? Bad play, bad goaltending, bad coaching.

  3. It was a gut punch. Coming back from 2 down in the first, being up by two late in the third and then somehow letting it slip. The ups and downs in OT were wild, but when it went to the shootout (which I hate, but I haven't said it yet this season), I thought advantage Bruins. WRONG.

  4. Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. The uphill battle just got worse because there are several teams that are now ahead of them in points AND have games in hand.

  5. Marchand is an enigma this year. Lindholm is an under-achieving overpay. Zadorov is probably the worst of all. He is brutal at times. I think his conditioning is nowhere near NHL capable. The decision making with the puck in the final 3 and a half minutes was obscene. Pasta, Sway, Beecher, et al. Puck management is obviously the big thing with this team in the waning minutes of a one goal lead. Their brains turn to a collective mush. It's hard to be a fan of this team right now. Ugh!
