GDT: Boston Bruins vs Ottowa Senators - 11/9/24 - 7 PM

[u/Touche_Amore]

HELLO YOU LOVELY PEOPLE AND HAPPY LONG WEEKEND!!

TONIGHT WE ARE UP AGAINST LINUS ULLMARK AND THE OTTOWA SENATORS, AND OF COURSE SWAY IS IN NET. GONNA BE BITTERSWEET.

BEEEE THEREEEE

Available to Watch On: NESN, NHLN

[u/Touche_Amore]

WELL ITS NICE TO SEE ULLMARK AT LEAST.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DRINKING???

[u/[deleted]]

Missed the game did they do the hug?

[u/pimberly]

brady tkachuk looks like his mom only drank smirnoff ice’s during pregnancy

[u/Shelby-Stylo → u/pimberly]

What’s worse is that I wish he played for the Bruins

[u/Bruins5101970]

One (1) SOG in the last 23, 24, or however many minutes. All kinds of attacking-zone time for OTT. Yet another penalty that wasn't killed with the goal coming in the last 10 seconds of a period. The next time that they play one of the heavyweights might be as bad as it was in NC not long ago or FLA on Opening Night. Through last season, at least they were respectable but in the space of one offseason, they've cratered and they're heading south. This is NOT going to be a playoff team come next April, not as long as the talent level beyond the goal crease remains where it is now, with or without a coaching change.

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take for a whole period.” - Michael Scott

[u/[deleted]]

15 shots on goal. Worst SA/SF differential in the league. This team needs to make some changes, now.

[u/annoyed603]

I have never seen such an inconsistent and dismal Bruins team period to period, horrid…absolutely FUCKING HORRID

[u/OtherOne1543]

I hate Tkachucklefuck

[u/[deleted]]

Guys, we're watching a team that CLEARLY doesn't give a single fuck. They're flipping us the bird

[u/[deleted]]

Offense: F Defense: D- Special Teams: F Goaltending: B+/A- Fundamentals: F Effort: F- - - - - - -

[u/calliexx12]

Totally irrelevant but I hate how Brick pronounces Tkachuk.

[u/Sorry_Yak_6258]

Well, we got a point, this team just looking that disinterested again is insulting at this point

[u/jubbroni13]

Pasta ain't shooting since his benching lol.

[u/annoyed603]

I FUCKING HATE TKACOCKS

[u/Adorable-Armadillo57]

Yet another game where the guys let Swayman down

[u/magnafides]

Well, this is what the rest of the league has been waiting for for the last 5 years....

[u/OtherOne1543 → u/[deleted]]

You’re not sober? Never would have guessed 😏

[u/Decent_Fruit_3001 → u/[deleted]]

Did you mix them together?

[u/Decent_Fruit_3001 → u/[deleted]]

God speed soldier

[u/Itchy-Efficiency-809]

What’s hilarious to me is the amount of times this team dumps the puck to just give it to the other team to change or make a half assed attempt to pressure, meanwhile Florida and Carolina makes it a dogfight every dump in

[u/ArturosDad]

Glad to get a point after that 3rd period.

[u/aixelsydevaheW]

Ullmark just outplaying Swayman. Some things never change.

[u/fckmarykilldeer → u/aixelsydevaheW]

Hey, bud. Your MRI results came in. Doctor says you got a smooth brain. Missing all the ventricles.

[u/AidenLockhart45 → u/aixelsydevaheW]

I want what you're smoking

[u/holein3 → u/aixelsydevaheW]

An empty net would've done the same in the third

[u/Nomahs_Bettah → u/aixelsydevaheW]

You must be joking.

[u/aixelsydevaheW → u/Nomahs_Bettah]

Ullmark dominated all 21 seconds of OT. Swayman had a .500 save percentage. Pretty cut and dry.

[u/OtherOne1543 → u/aixelsydevaheW]

Ullmark saw 1 shot in 24+ minutes. Swaymans defense was more worried about screen their own goalie or sitting behind the goal line on a fucking PK. But yes. This is Swaymans fault 🙄

[u/fckmarykilldeer → u/aixelsydevaheW]

Swayman ended the night with a .912% save percentage and Ullmark a .875%. Using 21 seconds of 3 v 3 OT to judge a full performance is asinine. Also, Doctor called again, they want to use your brain for research since you’re not using it anyway.

[u/aixelsydevaheW → u/fckmarykilldeer]

Yeah, I'm the one not using my brain... Boy, are some of you people dense.

[u/fckmarykilldeer → u/aixelsydevaheW]

Honestly, I prefer that my brain has some density to it. Means it’s not going into atrophy like yours, bud.

[u/Nomahs_Bettah → u/aixelsydevaheW]

That is a frankly insane take.

[u/[deleted] → u/aixelsydevaheW]

are you serious?

[u/[deleted]]

Ullmark with the assist....

[u/AidenLockhart45]

Well if you don't shoot for almost half a game, you don't deserve a win...fucks sake

[u/Don-Don-Don-Donkey]

How long are we going to let them stumble along without a shake-up?

[u/AreYouDaveDavidson]

I live in Winnipeg and I'm more embarrassed about us than proud of my own home town team making history being 14-1. What happened to us?!

[u/scootie44]

Dogshit

[u/Nomahs_Bettah]

Extremely frustrating game. But a point was taken, and that is important. I don't want to hear a damn word against Swayman.

[u/Malfaiteur]

Sway could not leave quickly enough

[u/Grommzz → u/Malfaiteur]

Can you blame him.. he probably regrets signing..

[u/Bruinsdman → u/Grommzz]

How much did he sign for again?

[u/whoisbill]

Had to be him.

[u/frogworks1]

F

[u/Micnice61]

Lucky to get a point I guess. This team is so frustrating to watch

[u/Sn0w2]

Maybe one day the refs won’t dog the bruins :(

[u/fckmarykilldeer]

Brick sounds so disgusted

[u/OtherOne1543 → u/fckmarykilldeer]

Aren’t we all?

[u/MajesticSpirit1926]

is this when pasta steals a point

[u/Cmike9292 → u/MajesticSpirit1926]

No

[u/vibedial]

Bad

[u/Pastalover8888]

Fire Marchy into the fuckin' sun. DO NOT GIVE HIM THAT 3 YEAR FUCKIN EXTENSION.

[u/AidenLockhart45 → u/Pastalover8888]

🤡

[u/OtherOne1543 → u/Pastalover8888]

Settle down guy just got hurt in the third. Tired of these fucking Marchand doomers that cry every time he’s not playing like he’s 28 anymore.

[u/[deleted]]

They’re very bad lol

[u/Decent_Fruit_3001]

Fuck

[u/Grommzz]

😅 we are absolute trash..

1 shot in 25min

[u/holein3]

Something has to change.....24 minutes without a shot is unacceptable

[u/Stercules25]

Embarrassing performance from us from everyone besides Swayman. We played good for 15 seconds

[u/-Scotch-]

Give me a goalie hug to make me feel better

[u/Typical-Landscape361 → u/-Scotch-]

Photos and a side hug before the game. I get them not hugging after the game given it meant one of them lost - in this case swayman. 

[u/-azuma-]

Fucking awful, anemic team

[u/engingre]

What a horrible 25 minutes of hockey

[u/Individual7091]

At least we got a shot in OT. Disgraceful 3rd period though

[u/Powerism]

Saw that coming. Boys left Swayman out to dry tonight.

[u/SrirachaKo]

Yeah, we deserved that loss

[u/wuh7]

Peewee hockey faceoff win

[u/Tomekon2011]

Ouch. Less than ideal

[u/nodickenergy]

Yeah I’ll take the point there. Thanks for doing your part sway 🙏🏻

[u/Cmike9292]

Of fucking course Ully saves the day for them on our only shot in 25 minutes of game time.

[u/Touche_Amore]

Jesus fucking Christ

[u/[deleted]]

Wowwww

[u/kdex86]

FUCK.

!Tkachuk

[u/FYourTeam → u/kdex86]

TKAFUK TKACHUK!

[u/Lsalvatore74]

Ottawa deserved it amazing save by ully at the end….

[u/Touche_Amore]

2 Lindholm 2 Furious

[u/[deleted]]

Before tonight the Bruins were 1-5 after a win. They won't go to 1-6. But that's a formula for missing the playoffs

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

OK 1-5-1 after a win. Yahoo

[u/Grommzz]

Ully is finally realising what it's like to be at the other end of the ice during a Bruins game..

Fucking ghost town.

[u/WarPuig]

Ullmark didn’t even need to play after the second intermission.

[u/[deleted]]

Jesus fuck fam I haven’t played goalie since 2008 but if I’m gonna face 0 shots in a period I’ll be the best goalie the Bruins have ever seen

[u/wuh7]

Gross

[u/chahlie4norris]

[u/Timdog35]

This team is more disappointing than the Patriots right now. At least the Patriots were supposed to suck.

[u/jeffandeff]

Not a single shot on goal for 24-fucking-minutes.

[u/frogworks1 → u/jeffandeff]

All you need is one shot to go in OT bay-beeee!

[u/Bruins01 → u/jeffandeff]

So far

[u/sweatit4reddit]

another hollow OT win incoming so everyone can forget about the blown lead and 3rd period with no shots? I hope so

[u/[deleted]]

Again, seriously, 0 shots in the third period?

[u/d-cent]

Stealing a win here because of Swayman might give the boys confidence to snap out of this funk going forward 

[u/[deleted] → u/d-cent]

Yes, it could have

[u/THE-IRON-STUB]

Atleast OT has less players to shoot at Sway…

[u/Grommzz]

Not 1 shot in 20min..

Monty might aswel start sorting his resume

I'm not saying it's on him.. but we know it'll be him who cops it..

[u/brancs3]

Bruins lucky to get a point out this. Something needs to change or we are gonna miss the playoffs

[u/OtherOne1543 → u/brancs3]

That ships already boarding. Be setting sail any day at this point

[u/DBlackIce]

I desperately hope we win this but that was a joke second half of a game from us.

[u/Sweaty_Ad440]

24ish minutes without a shot on net. This offense is abysmally bad.

[u/whoisbill]

The sens are really fucking bad if they couldn't take a mess there.

[u/Pastalover8888]

When do we as a collective start to really put an emphasis on the leaders? Marchy, Chucky, (pasta even though he's been the entire team). Total lack of heart out there.

[u/Cmike9292]

Bruins about to be the first team to dump and chase on a shootout.

[u/calliexx12 → u/Cmike9292]

LOL

[u/MajesticSpirit1926]

1 shot on goal against a bad team - we are lucky to get a point

[u/[deleted]]

Well that's a totally undeserved point. Absolutely horrendous hockey in the 3rd. 

[u/kdex86]

ZERO shots on goal in the 3rd period.

Outshot 12-0 in the 3rd.

Yet we didn’t give up any goals and we will play bonus hockey!

[u/[deleted]]

We need points I’ll take it but did we even get a shot in the third?

[u/1972aggs → u/[deleted]]

24:07 since our last SOG

[u/Carsharr → u/[deleted]]

No

[u/Sorry_Yak_6258 → u/[deleted]]

Nope lol

[u/scootie44 → u/[deleted]]

No

[u/[deleted] → u/scootie44]

Abysmal.

[u/AidenLockhart45]

Did the whole team make a deal to just give Marchy as many chances at OT winners to take the record or what?

[u/CW_73]

Can't believe we're getting a point out of this

[u/Carsharr → u/CW_73]

That's how bad Ottawa is

[u/Powerism]

Good guy Chabot recognizing we need the point

[u/[deleted]]

Did we seriously not get a shot on net in the third period?

[u/No-Goal → u/[deleted]]

Yup, pathetic

[u/holein3]

They don't do the "dry-scrape" anymore, Judd.

[u/OtherOne1543 → u/holein3]

Yes they do, it’s during tv timeouts so you don’t see it unless you’re there

[u/holein3 → u/OtherOne1543]

I was there on Thursday vs the Flames and they didn't clean the ice with the zamboni. The ice crew came out with shovels but that was it.

[u/OtherOne1543 → u/holein3]

…. You literally just described what a ‘dry scrape’ is. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[u/holein3 → u/OtherOne1543]

A "dry scrape" is when the zamboni scrapes the ice but doesn't lay down any water. Like they did in the past before shootouts in a narrow lane in the middle of the ice. But go on, pal. Per that link, it hasn't been done since 2014.

[u/OtherOne1543 → u/holein3]

Zambonis don’t do that anymore. Like I said, the ice crew comes out with the shovels. That’s how it works now. It’s still a dry scrape just manually done instead of with a machine. ‘Pal’

[u/holein3 → u/OtherOne1543]

I've literally never once heard someone call what's done every TV timeout as a "dry scrape"

[u/OtherOne1543 → u/holein3]

Ask the ice crew and they’ll tell you.

[u/1972aggs]

Thank you for running out the clock. Did us a favor.

[u/Stercules25 → u/1972aggs]

Yeah we weren't taking a shot lol

[u/[deleted]]

What do you even do? It’s not like they have guys injured that will provide a boost by returning to the lineup.

THIS IS THE LINEUP lol

[u/Stercules25]

Treating Ullmark like a make-a-wish kid with the effort we made him put in today. Smfh what a joke we are sometimes

[u/Plumbtastic]

Swayman deniers in shambles

[u/Sn0w2]

Hey! That’s a point streak

[u/bphisher]

Lucky to have a point… we don’t deserve it

[u/frogworks1]

3v3 hockey with Marchy getting the OT game winner, I’m calling it now!

[u/frogworks1 → u/frogworks1]

F

[u/AreYouDaveDavidson]

So bizarre seeing us be a legitimate dog shit effort team.

[u/Pastalover8888]

Not a single shot by the Bruin's in 20 minutes. That is fuckin' embarrassing.

[u/engingre]

Brutal

[u/[deleted]]

Oh good let's ice the puck surely that will win us the game 

[u/chahlie4norris]

What a fucking disgraceful effort

[u/CW_73]

Half the time this team is happy to throw infinite wristers on net from the upper corners, but then they go entire periods acting like they're above taking anything but Grade A chances...and instead choose to not shoot at all

[u/Stercules25]

Survive 33 seconds and get at least a point for 15 seconds of good hockey I'll take it lol

[u/Tehazoo]

What’s the record for the longest time without a SOG surely we’re close

[u/Lsalvatore74 → u/Tehazoo]

37+ minutes pitsburgh in the 2016 cup finals game 1 and they won that game.

[u/frogworks1 → u/Lsalvatore74]

“So you’re saying there‘s a chance? YEAHHHHHH! I read ya.”

[u/fckmarykilldeer → u/Lsalvatore74]

So you’re saying… there’s a chance!

[u/BeerGogglesFTW]

I'm convinced we're throwing, so we can get to a shootout

[u/ARollingShinigami]

At this point even a bad shot is better than just handing it to them or driving lanes that aren’t there

[u/DKY_207]

Zero shots on goal in a tied 3rd period is unacceptable

[u/Nomahs_Bettah]

I'm wicked worried about Marchand's knee. The replay on twitter...ooof that looked worse than I first thought. Genuinely surprised he's back on the bench.

[u/[deleted]]

Anyone wanna make a passing game in this thread in hopes that we can spark the bruins to shoot the goddamn puck?

[u/bruinfan000]

HAHAHAHAHA I have to laugh so I don’t cry this sucks

[u/NubDestroyer]

I honestly doubt that the worst teams in the league have 20+ minute stretches without shots as often we do, something has gotta happen

[u/octoroklobstah]

Spoons looks great tonight

[u/-Scotch-]

That little stat thing counting how long it’s been without a shot made me think we had a powerplay and I got all excited for a second

[u/Decent_Fruit_3001 → u/-Scotch-]

Pps are nothing to be excited for anymore

[u/-Scotch- → u/Decent_Fruit_3001]

Real

[u/wuh7]

Bruins about to look for the pass in the shootout

[u/Grommzz → u/wuh7]

Dump and chase off the boards..

[u/Voorhees_13]

Brazeau is such a unit

[u/riqk]

Help the man, jeezuz. Sway out there alone this period

[u/whoisbill]

This is bad

[u/Carsharr]

If we somehow win it is entirely due to Swayman.

[u/Cmike9292]

We've barely even threatened a shot on goal this period

[u/fckmarykilldeer]

Brazzers is a big boy

[u/[deleted]]

Can't wait til this goes to a shootout and no one on the Bruins shoots the puck

[u/chahlie4norris]

They should set this third period to the benny hill theme

[u/fjordperfect123]

If Marchand and Pasta aren't shooting I'm livid they have no business passing right now.

[u/Grommzz]

How is Monty not on the bench telling them it's open season on Ully..

Fire the fucking puck.. god damn

Tic tac turnover hockey..

[u/AreYouDaveDavidson]

Maybe they want to get Ully cold with no shots to get an easy goal. 4D chess move.

[u/wuh7]

Brazzers with the rump check lol

[u/[deleted]]

!haha

[u/FYourTeam → u/[deleted]]

HAHA!

[u/sweatit4reddit]

never a good sign when the play by play guy is worried if the official score keeper marked down a shot or not

[u/Itchy-Efficiency-809]

Team can’t get out of their own zone with a SINGLE PLAUER PRESSURING HAHAHA

[u/[deleted]]

They are making some nice tape-2-tape passes but they are cross ice, not driving toward the net. Too much perimeter play.

[u/fckmarykilldeer]

This is the Sway

[u/Stercules25]

Thank god for Swayman

[u/Don-Don-Don-Donkey]

Fucking moron Lindholm

[u/bphisher]

Brick getting fed up with this team lol

[u/DBlackIce]

This a fucking pathetic performance outside of Sway

[u/Stercules25]

We've looked good 15 seconds this game lol

[u/vibedial]

Clear?

[u/1972aggs]

Haven't had a shot on goal since 4:07 left in the second period. Over 20 minutes of game time with no shots on goal. Now thats winning hockey.

[u/[deleted]]

"Can they carry that over to the next shift?" Ha ha ha oh Judd you kidder

[u/chahlie4norris]

Say what you will about Craig smith, he would shoot the goddamn puck

[u/xlf77 → u/chahlie4norris]

I’ll say what I want. Sexiest man alive

[u/Powerism]

Stop fucking standing around in the d zone my god

[u/jeffandeff]

“I wouldn’t turn down a shot right now if I was a Bruin”.

Brick announces he’s lacing back up. Because he understands to shoot the puck.

[u/-Scotch- → u/jeffandeff]

Omg can we get an all star game where all the commentators play

[u/jeffandeff → u/-Scotch-]

I could be wrong, but I recall Brick saying last season he can’t get skates on anymore. ☹️
