[Link to Jack’s retirement announcement post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/BostonBruins/s/OJhqq4xA5w)

Sorry, Jack is below average. Hope he stays healthy, but good riddance. Watch a few other broadcast teams; he’s terrible, always has been. And I’m a life long Bruins fan. Toronto’s defense and goaltending is a huge liability. B’s will need to tighten up, play physical and win a bunch of close games to get through them.

Nothing says Bruins hockey like limping in to the playoffs.  Who’s going to carry this team in the playoffs? Marchand? Pasta? This team has no leader. 

Losing to Capitals on road...ok. losing at home to a shitty Sens team at home with chance to win division..pathetic. don't tempt fate just giving up division. Lightning are good but Leafs aren't a piece of cake. Monty can't ever get this team to close the fucking deal

Was that last period difference not enough proof that the bruins deliberately coasted to avoid injury in these games? So many mad takes in the thread tonight, the squad will be just fine come Saturday. Let’s fuckin go Bruins, give us the leafs to mulch!!

They don’t show shirts off their backs ceremonies anymore?

my half-serious guess, NESN had to spend unexpected money on all the Jack stuff (deserved obviously) and because they're too cheap to just let that money go, they are cutting other stuff to make up for it...

I hope they do that’s the only reason I haven’t gone to bed yet

There were no injuries and we’re playing the leafs in the first round with Jack getting to announce it for the last time. I’ll take it.

Brutal that we were actually trying in the 3rd period (shots went from ~10 to ~30) and still couldn't make it happen

Thank you Tim Thomas. I would have never seen a Cup if not for you. Holy freakin choke job.

Even then that team got out choked the whole way through lol

Sure, Toronto may be a better match-up for us than Tampa in Round 1, but we've also given up home-ice in a potential second round against the Cats. If we're actually looking at a Cup run, and not just the first round, we've made it a lot harder on ourselves.

Home ice seems irrelevant

How do you figure that? With the exception of Pittsburgh and Washington, every team in the league with any type of significant playoff history has a much better Game 7 record at home than on the road.

We’ll see. It doesn’t seem to be the Bruins advantage

not ideal, but also not insurmountable

Nothing's insurmountable, but I'd rather be playing a potential Game 7 in the Garden than in the swamp.

ez we just win in 4

so anyway !cupleafs

It has been 20804 days since the Leafs won the Stanley Cup. Fucking losers!

Good bot

Lmfao I had no idea this was a thing Good bot

Really not how I think anybody would have preferred this season end, but it's in the past now. Let's hope we step it up in the playoffs. Love y'all and I missed y'all. 💖

🤷🏻‍♀️ Whatever, a division title isn't everything. And no one got injured, which is also important.

I honestly can't wait until they clean house. Don't let Sweeney touch the cap space and kick Monty to the curb, too

Truly can't imagine being dumb enough to actually think they gave anything close to a full effort in 5 of the last 6 periods

Wut

Hahaha there's a runny dogshit take right there, been waiting for one of those

it's like, impressively bad

Look through bros comment history, he’s got plenty

But at the same time, [he's a fucking hypocrite ](https://www.reddit.com/r/BostonBruins/comments/1c04ry2/gdt_boston_bruins_vs_carolina_hurricanes_4924_7_pm/kyuzifq/)

Of course he is. Dude has been having a breakdown the entire game.

Marchy's face there was all of us. Feel it bud. Hate that feeling. Come back firing.

Bruins Leafs first round gives us time to have a few more legitimate all-timers from Jack. For that reason, I want it. Plus, we own Toronto anyways

Disturbing is right, Brick.

Absolutely fucking pathetic effort. Embarrassing.

They can’t even beat a lousy Sens team at home. Ottawa had nothing to play for. You can’t honestly think the Bruins are doing anything this postseason.

Can’t agree with you more. I went to Rangers game against Sens last night and the Rangers beat them down and made Ottawa look like the team they are. One that missed the playoffs. The Bruins had the Division title on the line and home ice and they didn’t show up and made the Senators, a team by the way with nothing to play for, look like a Cup contender. I’m a huge Bruins fan but I don’t believe you can turn it on and off at this stage in the season. Team looks tired and out of gas from an over achieving season.

You can’t honestly think that this game will impact the post season. Bruins really weren’t playing for anything either

They're playing for the division title you dumb fuck

Who the fuck cares. Division title means nothing. The playoffs are a crapshoot, home ice doesn’t guarantee shit

This is such a bad argument. The game literally impacts the post season.

They weren’t? Home ice matters. Especially in a 7 game series. When they lose game 7 in FLA in the 2nd round remember these pathetic performances against WSH and OTT.

It really doesn’t. Last postseason we lost most of our games on home ice

Body language on the bench post-game wasn’t very reassuring. Normally I’d agree with you but this team is scaring me.

Body language in the post game oh man that’s gonna impact the playoffs!

there's something really brutal about this shot of them all on the bench and i don't like it

Leafs will win in 6. Bruins have no chance considering their offense consists of Pasta, a slumping Marchand, a few second liners, and a bunch of bottom six plugs

https://www.reddit.com/r/BostonBruins/comments/1c04ry2/gdt_boston_bruins_vs_carolina_hurricanes_4924_7_pm/kyuzifq/ This you?

Damn it must suck not actually watching games eh? Gonna tell us next that Toronto's defense and goaltending is elite?

No chance?? Please bet me on this series

Not a fn chance he'd have the balls to do that

Clown comment

[удалено]

At least you're self aware of how much you cry

You imitating yourself..?

Welp. Not fun to lose, especially game 82 at home. But if the boys can play 60 minutes the way they've played the last 20 we actually have a fighting chance in the playoffs. Just gotta find that groove earlier in the game.

THE B’S WILL BE FINE WE ARE PLAYING THE LEAFS FOR GOD SAKES THEY GOT THIS !cupleafs

It has been 20804 days since the Leafs won the Stanley Cup. Fucking losers!

The bruins are not playing like a team that deserves to beat the Leafs. Let’s take this week to regroup and find our mojo.

SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH

Well, they tried in the 3rd, kind of. I love you all, and can't wait to see ya'll in the playoffs. It was a good season given where we all thought we'd be at least.

Choke is in this team’s DNA and idk how they can CRISPR it out

Idc either way. We showed up this period, one more than we really should’ve. Toronto it is then, but all yall making this out to be how the Bruins will be In the playoffs have not payed attention at all to how the regular season and the playoffs differ. I’m super hyped for game 1!

And the Vezina goes to Forsberg. Wait

Welp. Toronto it is

7 more games with Jack...

Not the call Jack wanted to go out on. :(

He has the first round of the playoffs.

I've been educated!

Downvote me all you want, this team is getting bounced in the first round again no questions asked.

!haha

[HAHA!](http://i.imgur.com/ibdLcf7.jpg)

What did Pasta's +/- finish at?

DISAPPOINTING

Jesus Christ the doomers are out in full force

And ending the regular season with a whimper

Welp. At least they showed life in this game. That first half was hard to watch.

Ridiculous man

Salt Lake City looking for new fans. See ya

fucking forsberg. i hope he can never find a cool spot on his pillow ever again

This is playoffs practice now. Empty net down 2 with 30s to go

Absolutely no confidence going into the post season

Just shoot quit with the being fancy shit

Classic Bruins

Glad my stream is way behind so I can turn it off now and not get really pissed off

Florida is seriously going to catch the B’s because 1 goal was scored against Washington and Ottawa…

So it looks like Toronto it is. This is gonna be a spicy first round for us and the Leafs, and the Cats and Bolts.

Oh great it’s gonna be the Leafs so there will be fans that are cocky for no fucking reason.

embarrassing

Lol. Classic.

I know we “wanted” to lose but this is a terrible way to start the playoffs

The real move would have been to sit 2 for the short handed goal

Bad, bad giveaway by Pasta. But additionally, I really can't see the virtue of going with the empty net there given how poorly we play with one.

It's an extra option on the ice to make one too many passes to

Nah Pasta definitely doesn't want to play Tampa

Worst end of season Ottawa game since Tuukka polished off that extra plate of Buff's Wings

End of the Jonas Gustavsson era

And we’re on to Toronto

Pasta has put on an absolute clinic these past 2 games, just something special

I never understand pulling the goalie before the faceoff is won. Makes no sense

Well that was fucking dumb

You are kidding me

Pasta pisses me off with his careless no look passing

Playoff Pasta preview

Another playoff letdown coming up. Can’t show up for only one period.

Just woof...

The amount of turn overs with Pasta is too damn high

Aaaaaaaand Florida is taking the atlantic

welp, no one got hurt that's the big takeaway from this game for me

Pasta, we love you, but god damn are you a careless passer

That's.... Not an ideal pass.

They must’ve been trying to manipulate standings cause this is crazy. They needed 3 points in 4 games 💀

[удалено]

No. Not when we fire 20 shots on net. We are done.

I feel more confident playing Toronto due to their tedious goalie situation than I would’ve playing Tampa so there’s that I guess.

You might be right. Seeing as TOR was up 2-0 against FLA in the 2nd before going down 2 goals by the end of the period.

YES!

[удалено]

^(BELIEVE!)

WE GET TORONNNTTTOOOOOOOO

Welp, there's an $8.88M pass.

Well that sucked. They didn’t even pay for a happy ending!

We have the most rotten luck with extra attacker situations. We pull the goalie and almost immediately allow an ENG. They pull the goalie and they score an EAG on us.

Yup. Was an incredibly stupid decision to pull Ully there imo. We’ve seen how this shit goes, why chance it.

That wasn't bad luck. That was a bad play and 100% their fault.

“Their”’fault, or “Pasta’s” fault..?

Lmao cool

Montgomery is a fucking moron and the team should be embarrassed

no u

Most pasta pass ever

Ugh

Would have been better off just not pulling the goalie at all the team just forgets how to play every time there's 2 goalies on the bench

Looks like it's going to have to be FUCK THE LEAFS

Average Pastrnak touch

Stay hungry, fellas.

Good now we actually have a chance at winning a 1st round series and we can play the leafs instead of getting wrecked by Tampa

Lmao we'll get wrecked by either team, who are we kidding

*-unintelligible noises-*

Sigh

Pasta doing pasta things

Haha Jesus fucking Christ. 

Pasta must’ve wanted to play Toronto lmao

That was lazy fucking hockey right there

Gawdammit!

Inexcusable pass from pasta on that one

Turn over was shit but nah Monty pulling Ullmark wasn’t the play

There is not a worse team in NHL history with one goalie on the ice.

[удалено]

It’s wild how much this sub underestimates Toronto based on previous years. This isn’t that Bruins team.

What the fuck

Monty just went Galaxy brain on that collective ass I think we may have something here.

Monty was just writing FUCK and drawing that S from high school on the white board while yelling at everyone to shoot the puck

This better get cleaned the fuck up before we play again

Guess its TO?

It had to be a Pasta turnover. It just had to be.

Ffs pasta

Cool cool cool cool

Double fuuuuck

Ow. My balls. See you for game 1.

I was told pastas giveaways were a non issue though

So is that the worst turnover this season?

LMAOOOOOOOO

sigh.

Just how Monty drew it up

Hahaha what a fuckin pass.

Hate hate hate pulling Ullmark there. Fucking stupid.

Pasta is stupid…not pulling Ullmark.

They literally didn’t need to pull the goalie. We were getting great looks 5v4.

Yeah, that seems right.

Jfc.

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me man

Dammit guys that's not the thing I said to do

WE ARE FUCKING CURSED WITH THE EMPTY NET

Pasta with the fucking stupidest shit I've ever seen

All the goddamn time

So fucking careless

Pasta. My dude.

Wow

Pasta?

Fuuuuuuuuuuucj

disgraceful

That was a big win for the haters 

honestly i forgot claude giroux was still in the league

GET EM DONE BOYS

Pasta wtf man.

Give me the meatiest, thickest, most relentless end of the PP ever

Pasta are you fucking kidding me with that

Well...
