The Boston Bruins are the best team in the NHL so far this season. Nobody expected that after the offseason they had. We break down how they've had success this year & why they are the team to beat early on. 
Спорт
I just started trying to watch more hockey and these videos help me understand whats going on so much better, I used to feel like the dude who only knows what a touchdown or home run was
The Boston Bruins would be a good team to watch!
Well there captain likes to lick people
Same bro lol. I watch the avalanche they are fun
Cheers man hockey is awesome! Glad you joined the fan base👍🏻
You will not regret watching hockey
I grew up in Mass and the 2-3 offense and the 'everyones moving' cycle are staples of learning hockey, or at least it was for me. Ive always loved it and its cool Boston uses it so effectively
I grew up only watching the Bs, it's still weird seeing teams not do that.
As a canucks fan I've been struggling for a long time but this year THE HUSTLE for the puck when we dont have it, the forecheck, the hits and counters are jsut so fun to watch, players with great fundamentals are fun to watch. that cycle you spoke of is similar but offense based
I also "aged" in Mass (I refuse to grow up! :P )
However, since I never played and only watched....I loved this video! I feel "smahtah" now!
hey... you are on the warriors..
As an ex coach, you did a superb job of explaining the plays, but most importantly how Montgomery has gotten his boys to buy in and play this style of Hockey. Great job
You were a peewee coach bruh . You don’t have to write as an ex coach . You weren’t really a coach lol
😂😂😂
bro didn’t let it slide
It can't be emphasized enough how much of an effect coaching and systems have had on the team's success. The fact a guy like Poitras "came out of nowhere" glosses over the fact that many Bruins acquired through trade and free agency adapt well into this system. A common trope with B's players is their strength on the puck and off puck play.
They're everything the Oilers want, need and will never be or have.
Which is precisely the reason Don Granato should have been fired 2 weeks ago.
Their goalie coach deserves a shoutout too. In the last decade the bruins have had 3 different vezina winning goalies in Thomas, Rask, and Ullmark, and now Swayman is in contention for this year's vezina. Its like any tendie that gets signed by the bruins instantly becomes better.
@@lilhummus Bob Essensa has been the goalie coach since 2003! The team was giving up their fair share of goals until the Claude Julien became coach in 2007-08. Slight blips here and there but the organization has been one of the best defensive teams since then.
@@Hushooyes indeed - you hit something very important. Goalie Bob's retirement is going to change the entire defensive team.
That's a great point talking about Claude Julian bringing in the defensive shooters
And we've been watching goalie Bob very carefully handpick Jeremy Swayman's schedule since he's come into the NHL - one thing fans don't realize is goalie Bob gets monetary bonuses when his goalies get awards!
He's a rich man bringing in all those vezinas and Jennings awards!
Jim Montgomery is quickly solidifying himself as one of the best coaches in the NHL, but Bergy and Chara deserve so much credit for the culture theyve created
The Oilers are the polar opposite of the Bs.
@@esperagooilers will be back the mcdavid train has arrived 💪
Funny. No one ever called him that in Dallas. He was a guy who drank too much and got in trouble. Boston will fold again in the playoffs. Watch and see.
@@mwmannI think he got sober. At least he’s talked publicly about his sobriety.
There should be HP breakdown segment during intermissions
Bruins Coach Jim Montgomery after a 100 games a strong 79-13-8 record. Known as .800 Winning Percent Hockey. That’s smoking hot! Keep up the incredible work! As a Bruins fan I’m impressed and hope this season’s pace continues beyond 82 games…
This . was . amazing .. Thanks for taking the time to go through and explain the systems being used .. Usually, just watching games on TV, you never get a full, focussed education like this .. Really appreciate it
Again they look solid in all phases as last year, it's very impressive to keep the intensity up game after game, hopefully the playoffs will be different, that was a tough pill to swallow last year.
I'm still not over the game 7 loss the the Blues.
I hope that you and your channel continue to grow. This is the kind of analysis you just don't get during the games or on sports networks. Your videos are entertaining, clear and concise.
Dude I gotta say how much I appreciate your videos that are like this. This kind of deep hockey analysis is EXACTLY what a new fan like myself craves, especially given my love of baseball and its intricacies, so yeah I'm a bit of a stat-jock. This is good, good stuff.
Wow... as a lifelong Bruins fan (but non-hockey player) i could tell something was... different about this team. Now I can get technical when arguing with people on Reddit :) Great video awesome breakdown!
in the playoffs without bergy and krej they went up in the series. I feel like when bergy and krej came back to play injured and Monty playing an injured Ully instead of swapping to Sway was their downfall.
hey, just wanted to let you know that your videos are great, its not often that i find videos or content creators that can tell a story and provoke emotions the way you do, i've watched a solid 20 vidoes of yours in the past little while and it always takes me on a trip and makes me love the sport even more so yeah thanks man, always feels weird leaving a comment but i'm gonna post it anyways have a good one haha
Keep up the great work! Love the videos homie!
Playoff hockey is a different species of competitiveness. Same sport, different game.
A game the Bruins have conquered once in recent history and only Marchand was on that 2011 roster after Lucic's domestic incident.
Refs changing how they call penalties plays a bigger role than competitiveness IMO
@@ItotheCtotheE Very good point, it's always been around in football and last few years we've seen in it hockey. Once gambling became legal, all bets are off.
Yup and my b’s will bow out easily and early with no depth
Another awesome breakdown, I always love learning how different teams approach things like the PK, love from Tampa 💙🤍
I always look forward to your videos, my friend! Good stuff!
Incredible breakdown. I find hockey systems so fascinating and am excited for more!
i know literally nothing about hockey but watching your videos has made me really interested. Thanks for your really informed and interesting breakdowns!
As a B’s fan. Thanks for the hype.
But I want to believe the future core including Mcavoy can pull through in the playoffs.
Lightning own Boston
@@bigman8243 You are a mega troll and a child in someone’s basement.
Mcavoy is playoff material. Their goaltenders are a year more experienced this time and they better stick with the tandem. Pasta gets a tiny bit better each playoffs but he will never be the same player when there’s not an inch of free ice. Defenses will always adjust during the series to the unique “system” that wins them so many regular season games. It doesn’t mean they’re not an awesome team or they can’t win in the playoffs it just means it takes the next level of grit, heart, determination, toughness, all the keywords to translate to playoff success.
@@29Randy29 oh, I absolutely agree with everything you said. It’s just last year when we lost, it really did not feel like Bergy, Krejci and Marchand loss, rather the “new core” lost. One of the things I am grateful for being a fan of this team is the culture the previous generation has passed on to the next. And I seriously hope that continues.
Great video! Love the breakdown of their systems!
Moved to Canada after growing up in Africa and my dad is a life long Leafs fan so where should I place my hockey allegiance... That's right in one of the Leafs biggest rivals, in Boston.
Also is it safe to say that the Bruins have been the most consistent team of the past 15 years
This is unbelievable analysis. Extremely well done.
As a Canes fan I love watching the Bruins play they are a cheeky team
Lightning still own them 🤣
Lol lighting can't get of there feet
@@bigman8243lol....not even close. Take a look at the ratio from the last few years. Bruins own the lightning lol
Last year was a different team. That said, there were several key injuries that had an impact on the series. Hopefully, this is a better year.
Say what? The Panthers had more injuries than the Bruins. Ekblad himself played with a broken foot and popped his shoulder twice in that series. Ullmark was injured and obviously not himself making it a stupid decision to not replace him with a healthy Swayman before it was too late. Plus Monty panicked with all the silly line changes. They lost because they got severely out coached.
lol
@@jayc3715as a bruins fan , it pains me to say youre right lol
Just stumbled across your channel, superb job. Subscribed.
great video! awesome breakdown of why the bruins are so good
Great content! Very interesting. By the way,love Boston's new unies.👍
I really wanted them to win the title last year. They deserved it. But now they look just as good as they did a year ago.
They deserved nothing
I agree it's sad, but you deserve what you get, they looked like a totally different team out there at times during the playoffs, somewhat tentative/afraid. Now that they know what that loss feels like and what mistakes they made, I think they'll come back hungry
Great analysis!
Great video man!
Boston Just has a winning culture Gotta give it to them
Superb video, as always
Great video!
Love your channel
Great breakdown
Wow, what a great video. I’ll be back frequently. Thank you.
Bolts learned some hard lessons about going hard early in the season, if they are still this successful heading into the playoffs without showing signs of fatigue I might start to buy in.
Quality video as always.
Boston seems like the last team that would simply explode after losing few good players, never understood why people thought that. Teams don’t go record breaking one seed to tanking, in one season
For real especially given it’s the structure that won them so many games in the regular season, but they aren’t nearly as good as last year’s team. The goaltending somehow has been better and they’re still an elite club, but Bergeron’s attention to detail and absolute dedication to excellence is missing and is not replaceable.
It really is something!
Never turn your back on on Bear ...😅
Lets go Bruins!
wish i could get down to td garden to watch these guys play more. decent seats are so expensive
Follow your pass and keep moving were things we learned as kids in Minnesota. When done right it makes for a really nice, flowing offense. My Red Wings play Boston on Friday this week so naturally I hope Boston eats too much turkey on Thursday :-)
As a Bruins fan I agree I thought this was going to be a transition year before next years cap relief.
I thought the Bruins would be a middle of the pack team, maybe 6th 7th or 8th, and they may still be by the end of the year.
But I never thought they were going to have this kind of start.
will you make a video about the caps?
Bruins will win the Cup this season. It reminds me of 2010 when they were embarrassed against the Flyers. They were up 3-0 in the series and 3-0 in Game 7. They lost both 4-3. The next year they swept Philadelphia and went on to win the Cup. This Bruins team might be better than last season. They'll make up for last season's embarrassment the way they did in 2011.
Edit: I can't believe that was 13 years ago lmao.
I hopes so bro I really hope we win a cup this year
Not to disrespect the Bruins or anything but they need to show up in the Playoffs, Back to Back Presidents trophy is nice but if you get bumped in the first round, it doesn't matter. - A Canucks Fan who experience this 2011-2012
Correct. They'll just get remember for being choke artists.
@@jfkst1that’s what we have been known for the last 10 years
Great game vs the bolts tonight.
As Stugotz says on the LeBatard Show, “do it in the playoffs.”
I think they will go far this year. The pressure of perfection unfortunately doomed them last year. Lastly Pasta is must see TV.
interestingly enough i’ve seen the flames do the exact same thing in the o zone this year. wonder where huska got that from
I've seen this show before. The other two teams went back to back cups. Chicago Blackhawks and the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Lol at the 'Flames poised for a bounceback'
No lie, teams should watch you for scouting reports, that’s how good you are at explaining!
Marchand & Pastranak are beasts!
IM FROM EDMONTON AND THE OILERS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEIR DOING
They were the best team last year too, first round exit. Playoffs is what it’s about.
Can you post links of the articles you reference.
Everyone knocks us for losing to Florida, but Florida went to the SC final. They played like a team possesed against Boston and Toronto
You know, you broke my heart with that opener.
But then you healed it. Subbed.
Facts. We don't care about the record. Get enough points, stay healthy; battle through the playoffs.
I caught a bass by Marchands home.
It’s still early in the season, but you’re right.
However a key point that you neglected to mention is that Montgomery got over confident and hinged entirely on Ullmark in the playoffs and didn’t hone on a strategy for defense to help offense. Those were critical errors that were made.
So that makes me wonder how they’re going to correct those two mistakes this season. The former is easy since all that needs is a simple rotation to be kept up at all tines while the other requires a bit more finessing.
Monte also let the Bruins players correct themselves as they had done all season, it did not work. This year he is very much the opposite and taken control of the on ice strategy while still letting the players play.
I think that most Hockey fans enjoy our Bruins .
I would be to differ my friend, at least in canada
Habs fan here...yes, the Bruins are playing some awesome hockey. Tons of respect for what they built. The players completely buy into the system.
@@vicb7341 literally the best Habs fan I've met you are a great one
Bolts own em’
As a Bruins fan, I think ALL OF the Canadian hockey teams in the NHL hate us😅
I cant believe Marchand is they're captain now. Hes so low down and tricky
Watch the two players that retired come back at the deadline to make a run
I'm curious with one or both D men moving so low in the O zone how they stop the opponent from getting a ton of breakaways.
Being smart with the puck and not forcing plays. I’ve noticed if there’s nothing to be made they just put it around the boards for the other side to take care of, not a lot of slot passes unless they’re sure it’s going to get to the intended recipient
Marchand is also. fitting into that captain role very well.
Marchand is a scumbag who should suspended indefinitely
Might be the case that in the playoffs, when opponents have more time to review strategy, the Bruin's system is better countered.
I still don't know why people thought the boston bruins era was over
I'm a Leafs fan within an hour of Boston. I hate that they didn't collapse in the off-season. All my co-workers are dreadful about it!
They just won’t go away lol
Culture
That's too bad. We here in Boston love the Leafs! Look at the trades you guys made with us that got us the cup in 2011! Go Leafs Go! Trade with the Bruins more!
@@2buxaslicewe’re good we don’t want anyone from leafs line up
@@2buxasliceyeah ok 2011 doesn’t even count you got handed a cup 🤡
Everytime I see verhague score that goal I want to kms
Both Florida team own the b’s
Glad to see some coverage on this. Bruins making the entire league, commentators and “experts” look absolutely lost
As someone who was to become a hockey fan what teams do people recommend watching?
Be a fan of the Leafs and Sabres
@@edited1325 thank you, I’ll watch some of their upcoming games!
Lightning
Montgomery has said it himself this team is being bailed out night after night by incredible goaltending. Not fair to their Powerplay and best in league structure to credit only the goalies, but he has a point. They are also the measuring stick of the NHL and it must be impossible to bring the High Octane energy every night nor should it be their intent to throw all their energy into the regular season.
Great analysis I LOVE the Bruins’ system, I cringe watching Edmonton try to defend and I know I have it so good as a Boston fan. But yeah, they aren’t as good as last year’s team
I wish we could see McDavid in Boston.
Detroit owns Boston's 1st round pick for the Bertuzzi trade.
Well first the deal gives Boston first right of refusal to the 1st round pick either the 2024 or 2025 draft
Detroit will be picking about 30th overall in the NHL draft for 2024, basically a second round pick.
I love the B's and I find it kinda funny that he exposed the whole plan of the bruins in a 7 minute video 😭
I went to that horrendous game, I watched it happen
Great video 👍
as a bruins fan we dont want to talk about these facts ._.
tied in points, but having played three less games
not sure I want them to win the presidents trophy, though
I live in Boston. I’m not watching a game till the second round the playoffs after last year.
I feel your pain. They won tonight. But, man they looked like frauds against Tampa. Like the same freakin tendencies they had against Florida in the playoffs with Marchy of all people guilty as charged.
Good clip but it should be titlted "Jim Montgomery Has Evolved" (as a Coach,{optional})
When Montgomery was signed to coach t he Stars he was brought in because he was a "defensive mastermind" which was the same reason they brought in Ken Hitchcock, but Hitch had lost the room and the writing was on the wall for him by Christmas.
So, Montgomery comes in with a new, but still defensive system, and proceeded to further choke the offensive life out of the team, like Hitchcock handn't already done enough damage to the likes of Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin.
To his Montgomery's credit, speaking of the new coach's defensive system, Seguin said"I dont know how you would play against it."
He was pretty impressed.
By the time mid-late November rolled around and the team was struggling, Mongomery said "I admit I've got to loosen up. I'm choking the life out of this team."
He did in fact learn from worrying too much about sound defensive structure.
Your clip illustrates perfectly about the lessons he has learned as a coach, including letting players play to their strengths, rather than forcing them into a moulde, mostly meaning making them mindless defense-bots.
Monty has learned a bit of offense now, too, to put it mildly.
I learned last year don't underestimate Boston. They have such a solid structure that they are always a successful team
Choking OT games lately
@@castlewood1371they just can’t clear the puck it’s been a issue for years
Tampa still owns them tho
What, did you miss the last playoffs by any chance? Choked in 1st round.
I guess the simple question is... what do you think they are going to do with the season?
still dont trust this team as far as i could throw them but LETS GO Bs BABY LETS GO
I expected it. I had them winning the cup and still do.
I think of all the guys that moved on, only Bergeron and Foligno were legit losses to the team. Hall has never been what he could have been, and even Krecji had an annoying habit of loooong slumps in production. When a team plays with a guy like Bergeron, they pick up on how he plays...that combination of excellent defense and smart thinking offence...and making those legs move even when they're burning... It's not magic, it just takes effort and a belief in what you are working towards. I look at last year's Bruins playoff run like the James Reimer breakdown in 2013, you get over it, learn from it and get your head back in the game.
Plus...it's been two years of almost non-stop wins. That makes for a hell of a fun season, and helps the sting of an early playoff loss (much easier than losing to Chicago in the finals I'll tell you that).
Lol i expected it. And i dont think im alone here.
Today's game against the Lightning was a choke. They're playing Florida on Wednesday, so we will see
Lightning just owns them 🤷♂️
Good lord Jesus Christ I'm telling you I can barely keep up with this channel and what this guy is saying. This is the effect of not ever playing hockey but being the jersey buying beer drinking Often times Junior A. cheering fan. But I'm trying to keep up with it and I'll keep watching this guys channel. If I can get to the point where I'm completely understanding what this guys is saying I know I've made it. Maybe he could have a channel for newbies. 😂
The children of the corn!
Those of us who know bruins history and hockey - believe the bruins have a better chance at a cup this season than last.
Same thing happened with new coach Tom Johnson 1970 - 71. That's the franchise record we broke last year.
They were heavily favored for the cup and went down to none other than the Habs first round
When we're setting franchise records we go down in the playoffs.
I was never so relieved than to watch us go down 3-1 against the ducks with 4 minutes left. I still think the bruins subconsciously blew that game cuz Brad marchand knows!
Don't be setting franchise records !
Any bruins fan that doesn't know this is not a bruins fan.
We had three star players out at the beginning of the season last year - the depth that stepped up is still around!
In bruins GM doesn't do clickbait - he doesn't consult the media or tell you what he's doing. Unpredictability & mismatches are 90% of the game
And the great 1-2 punch obviously couldn't get it done!?
They got their cup under the captaincy and leadership of zdeno Chara.
What we learned with Patrice bergeron injured last playoffs, watching Brad marchand lead the team to three out of four gritty wins-
Is it takes the son of a bytch, not the son of a social worker, to get through playoffs.
Good luck to patrice, get out of the way - it's been fun adoring his hockey skills
Now he's gone & it's time to get a cup!
🐻🏆
it boston its in our blood
To choke?
As a Bruins fan, at least the NHL cared.
