All the bitching about the refs is foolish. Bruins had control of this series up 3-2 and played 2 horseshit games. They have no one to blame but themselves.

I expect major changes this summer. This team lacks speed, scoring touch, and character.
 
Don't respect the opponent enough, got burned.

Nah man bad puck luck!

Price severely outplayed Rask and they didn't get anything from 3 of their top 6 this series.

Five series losses on home ice under Claude and four game 7s. And Rask does nothing in another elimination game.

Neely & Chiarelli need to take a hard look at this roster. Way too many no shows. And they're going to have to play this team every year so they better figure something out.
We need bigtime changes. Got totally outskated. Too slow and no one could score.

Character? You should probably ban yourself while you're at it.

For the life of me I don't understand Pierre blowing Carey Price.
 
Bruins have had very few good chances and have hit a ton of posts. Price had very little to do with the Canadiens victory. IMO.
He was great the last couple of games.  all that matters

But those no shows have all showed in the past. Who do you deal? Marchand I'd guess, but his value will be low.

So you go out and get equivalents of Gomes, Victorino, Napoli and Ross? I mean what do you do?

Bruins were chasing all series, that's not a recipe for success. They had the lead for game 5 and about 10 minutes total in the 7 games.

Congrats to the Habs. They executed their game plan, clogged the passing and shooting lanes, packed it in in front of Price, and capitalized when they got their chances. The Bruins had no answer.

I don't think they lack character. I think it's speed and scoring touch. Plus they don't match up with this team for some reason. The regular season record isn't a fluke. They need to figure something out.

Lucic too. Tits on a bull.
I hate Looch, always have. I actually hate Marchand too, I wouldn't mind both going. Also please make sure Bartkowski never plays again for this team

2. US Steel
3. Price

We traded our finisher to Dallas though he is another player that no shows in the postseason

marchand is such a fraud
I was just discussing this with my dad today. After an awesome rookie year, he doesn't seem to have been the same guy since that concussion he had at the end of (what I believe was) the 2012 season. Ever since, he's become a guy who has flashes but makes terrible turnovers and misses gimme shots.

Not having Ference in the playoffs ended up really hurting the defense.  Miller, Bartkowski, Meszaros just couldn't play consistently well.  Losing Seidenberg obviously hurt too.
 
Right now, things suck.  But I hope they don't do anything drastic.... bring back a similar squad, and this team competes for a Cup again next year.

Refs were shitty.  B's were shittier.  Nobody to blame but themselves.

I can't believe I am going to be reduced to hoping the Rangers advance to the Stanley Cup finals. Because no matter what, I cannot root for the Canadiens are all.
This. The Rags are hateable, but the Habs are mutant-level despicable. It's historic.

Thry choked. There's no other way to put it.
 
 
I don't really think anyone is putting it any other way. It was a fun team and season and they didn't show up this series. 
 
I wonder if we hear about injuries soon.

The Ference loss might be something they regret.

I don't think the current Rags team is really that hateable. They're just so BLAH, though.

So find a new team. You hate half the players on the Bruins and the teams they play against. Just move on.
