Boston Bruins Lose Again! | Game 19 Recap | What Can they Do?
The Boston Bruins lost in overtime to the St. Louis Blues 3-2 in a game that had no business going to overtime. The Blues outplayed the Bruins all game, and if it wasn’t for Korpisalo, this game could have gotten out of hand.
Trent Frederic scored two goals and earned his 100th career NHL point. As always, I will cover the highs and lows of the Boston Bruins game.

what should they do?
I have no idea. Constantly mixing up the lines is not helpful in my opinion and consistency is absolute garbage. I only pay for NESN streaming, at $30/mo. mind you, so I can watch the Bruins but this is so brutal I’m thinking of saving my $30/mo. Their stream is pretty horrendous too for the cost. Ugh. Well, there’s always 2025-26.
We can barely keep up w/ teams that won’t make the playoffs…not good
Let’s keep Merkulov up and bring Poitras and Lysell up and have a kid line. Give them a chance, what do we have to lose?
It’s going to be a loooooooooooooooooooong season, thank Don!
This is going to be a long season.
How is it that St. Louis spent 90% of the 3rd period in the Bruins zone? These guys couldn’t connect on more than one pass? That was a new low.
I agree with @gsstacker. Set the lines the way you think they would be best and leave them that way for 10 or more games. Let the boys build some chemistry. Athletes crave consistency and I'm sure the team game would improve if he quit f-ing with the line combos.
Fun fact, Chris Kelly was part of the 2011 team who struggled to score on the PP during their cup run.
And now he runs the PP. Coincidence? Ummmmm!!!
Glad to see Swayman proving his worth, yea id trade him n bring one of younger ones!!!
Guaranteed non playoff bound team. Its almost thanksgiving and nothing is being done except bringing up players from the farm team. Coyle , Frederic and Geekie need to be moved. Zadorov is a liability.
Start declining some of these penalties😊
I only saw the highlight as it was my grandsons 1st birthday.
The bruins scored their 2nd goal on their 4th shot, that was at i think the 16 min of the first, they only had 13 more shots the whole game and OT! That is a huge issue!
They need to fire Kelly and get some one that understands the special teams better.
Monty is just lost he doesn’t know what else to do.
Sweeney is off doing scouting bs for the what ever they are calling the all star break game this year. Could you imagine your team is sucking at 500, and you are off scouting for some stupid means nothing team?
Thanks for the recap
Yeah Freddy likes playing in his hometown..
should bring his groupies along on road trips.
Pasta is a good player, glad he's picking up his game. But great players make others around them better.
I heard through a recent Bergeron interview that the ole 2011 cup gang is reuniting in Bean town in early December.
They're calling it a "charity alumni game" – instead of a PTO
😄
Korpisalo is fun to watch
We're allowed to enjoy the game and our goalie without freaking out. Going to extremes.
Somehow for 3 seasons it's okay to keep chanting "Swayman is the future of the Bruins…🤪"
Yet can't enjoy Korpisalo? Hope to see him increase his own potential. He's not old and washed up. Still has more time & room to improve
No worries, Fairweather fans will fall in line chanting "Jeremy is #1!" 🤓 when B's start winning again
It's hockey.
Not a funeral. going to let them have Korpisalo.
They go to extremes anyway….. So I'm not going to piss on his parade because of hyperbolic fair weather fans!
That little hop step by Merkilov was funny! A player who was literally on his toes!
Go Bruins!
If anyone wants to see a brutal hit look up the Reaves hit on Nurse in last nights Leafs/Oilers game.
The Bruins aren’t .500. Win percentage is wins divided by games played. Bruins have won 8 out of 19 games putting them at .421.
How do you think hampus will perform when he returns?
Nice to see Freddie waking up. Still not at all pleased w/ his game this season. Mac and Zadorov are clearly not gelling. As for the kids, i get what Monty's trying… it's toss it against the wall and see what sticks. The thing w/ hockey is, the lines need some consistently, to find a grove together. Hockey more than most sports, needs to play as a group. this blender routine, w/ almost every day, a new line combo is NOT helping. (Leaving aside the zone system), the lines are not playing well, together. EXCEPT for the 4th. Kastelic, Koepke, Beecher. why break them up, and not sit someone on 3rd line?
The worst part is I believe there is no simple formula or set of moves that fixes this. We are basically 25% of the way through the season with no signs of this drastically improving. I say the closer you get to that 50% mark, the more you commit to developing/playing young players in all situations at the cost of losing meaningless points in the standings. This is not a team that should be operating like a legit contender. And if the Bruins are outside the playoffs by the time the deadline approaches, literally cut dead weight, sell non-core pieces, fire everybody, and clean house from top to bottom. I don’t care if that’s extreme. Firing the coach when he is only 1/3 of the issue while everyone else skates away without a scratch won’t fix anything. So I say follow this plan until it’s definitively too far gone, then fire everybody and commit to an aggressive retool, specifically prioritizing drafting and developing young offensive talent.
Playing a 60 minute game might help.
Playing with a bit of grit might help.
Putting more than 1 pass together might help.
Playing like they give a shit might help.
Defensively they seemed confused on what they are playing…is it man to man or a zone? Regardless they put no pressure on the opposition when in our zone and consequently they throw it around the outside for a minute till they can get a shot through. If not tipped in they can get a rebound cause no one on this team consistently blocks out anyone from the front of the net. We look like we are penalty killing 5×5? WTF is that?
Offensively, these people refuse to shoot the damn puck except for Pastrnak who shoots it from anywhere at anytime which is an issue on its own lol While I am not happy with our defense's performance this year it is hard to get all over them considering their workload. We were meant to be a forechecking team and that is going horribly. Defense is a hard position already in a league that encourages scoring and yet our offense seems content to continually throw the ball in the defenses court. Bad passes, turnovers, can't receive the pass, lackluster forecheck etc etc etc.
Also as some point out….quit playing with the lines for a bit. We had one line firing on all cylinders and he split them up?
I cant believe we are 500. We have thrown in some truly pathetic performances this year. We may be a bit spoiled but we can still spot what appears to be a team playing to get rid of their coach or more.
They always say we are working to be better. But it's the opposite, they are progressively getting worse.
17 shots generated at home against a depleted St Louis team.
Don't see Monty being around much longer. Somebody has to take the fall.
Bruins just give us a good effort and reduce giveaways. Bruins did put Lindholm on I.R might as well. Time to do some trades, break up this stagnation! Zadorov must go , get a pick and dump that salary , trade E. Lindholm, too much salary for to little offence. Don't be afraid to throw in a pick to dump these guys. 😅 Big mistakes ! Call up more kids and get a couple solid defensive defensemen with Grit . Please Monty stop juggling the lines sooo much ,how are they supposed to develop chemistry??? Go Bruins Go , Play like you want to win for 60 minutes or more.🎉
I'm going to say something that has absolutely nothing to do with the subject in the video
– I miss playing hockey!
Being around ice arenas – skills coaching… Being one of the gang.
The smell of the stinky locker rooms, the tape on the bottom of your skate that causes you to land on your ass when you step on the ice!
Sometimes it was put their intentionally! Lol!
The water bottle squirt fights
My coffee dumping all over me because some parents' kid just scored a goal and they jumped up out of joy!
And I happily wore that coffee!
I missed the rush, and the wind in my face skating around the rink to wake up at the crack of dawn.
The sound of my son's goalie pads stopping a shot.
Yelking until I had no voice.. "blocker up goalie!… Shoulders back!
Puck is under your skates!.. you got one coming in on your left… Watch the position of skate blades!"
And especially yelling "goaliiiiie!" When they make a big stop.
Miss it even more this year because there are not happy hockey fans
Don't lose your passion for the game –
if you've never laced up? Try it. Go hang out at a hockey arena…
Smell those nasty hockey bags!
Take a nice deep wiff!
Because it's the most foul smell that you'll never forget, but will make you smile inside!
Don't lose sight of your game.
Of your memories
Of your children…
The game was just an excuse for an awesome community of people, regardless of skin color, we didn't care where the hell you came from…. We just wanted you on blades flying across ice
With a great big smile!
This isn't hockey.
(I don't mean Courts podcast)
I believe these players are doing the absolute best they can under the circumstances.
I don't believe any Bruins player is phoning it in, trying to tank…
And I do believe our coach is doing the very best he can.
I'm just going to stand behind my Bears
Close my eyes and smell those hockey bags!
When you coach, you have to pull out the positives. Yeah always have to find something good about the shellacking your young athletes just took!
Always look for the silver linings in hockey.
Because anything can change the direction of a 4-inch vulcanized rubber disc!
Yep, this is going to be a tough season. Which means we have to be tougher.
Smile in the face of adversity.
Our boys need us now more than ever.
I wear black and gold just about everyday during hockey season.
Especially after we lose.
The ole tradition of circling the wagons.
I hope some of you can go back to enjoying hockey.
This isn't full time hockey anymore…
We have to catch the tidbits in between the garbage!
We're never going to get inside elite athletes' heads – trust me, you don't want to go there!
Till I just want to enjoy hockey again…
A family tradition I carry on, for those who have passed away.
This is a community. We're a family.
That's real hockey.
✌️
Oilers last year were 5-12-1 at this point. Then they went on a winning streak after Thanksgiving and made it to the cup.
Good video. Thanks! This is not a well constructed roster. Also the veteran leadership outside of Marchand is missing. Hall, Foligno, James Van, Shattenkirk, even adding Maroon last year…….all gone. Those guys helped not to mention what they had two years ago too with Bergeron and Krejci. None of this has been replaced. Also they have way way way too many 4th line guys.
Here for the algorithm. 8 million. And I am thinking flush it all and restart.
I hate to say it but this is the year to trade guys like Marchand for young talent/ draft pics
I feel bad for the coach. Angry. Stressed. Unhappy.
post-season trades were terrible.
team has been in decline since 2022 when they fumbled it all away to florida in first round.
time for a new coach.
NEW COACH
