Turn up the volume: no one will feel sorry for us 11.06.09 at 2:05 am ET
By Mike Petraglia

Say this much for Bruins head coach Claude Julien – he’s not looking for sympathy.

In the opening month of the season, he has lost his leading playmaker Marc Savard, his leading tough guy in Milan Lucic and now, David Krejci, one of his most skilled young forwards has been diagnosed with the H1N1 virus.

Add to that the team’s power play is dead last among the 30 NHL clubs and you have a team that is having a hard time scoring. How hard? Try 192 minutes, six seconds without lighting the lamp between Vladimir Sobotka’s tally on Saturday and Patrice Bergeron’s game-tying goal with 51.7 seconds to go on Thursday.

Still, the Bruins had to settle for just the one point as the trio of Blake Wheeler, Bergeron and Mark Recchi could not solve Carey Price in the shootout and fell 2-1 to the Montreal Canadiens.

Claude Julien said no one will feel sorry for the Bruins.

Julien said Bergeron deserved a star Thursday as Boston’s best player.

Montreal’s Carey Price said he could tell Bruins were desperate to score.

Tim Thomas said the Bruins couldn’t get discouraged when the Bergeron goal was disallowed in the second period.

Patrice Bergeron said the Bruins had to keep going, even after disallowed goal.

Bergeron said this is one step forward for the Bruins.

    YUP, I think the RUINS are on track to finish dead last in the division…Metropolit looked pretty good last night…another guy the RUINS would not pay..the league is full of teams the RUINS would not pay. Watching the RUINS last night, I thought wow this team looks nothing like last years team. I really did not see any weaknesses on last years team, maybe one more sniper and thay are over the top and totally unbeatable. This years team looks slow on the ice in comparison, the passing is simply not as good as last year. The defense struggles to move the puck out of the zone. Hey, 57 seconds shy of a record that stood since 1929–3 games without a goal..and this is 2009, the skates are better, the sticks are better, the ice is better..only thing that is not better are the RUINS.

    Patience. So we’ve had a rough start with injuries, illness and players slow to get their mojo workin- the season is young, and the Bruins have the talent and the ability to turn this around. No need to feel sorry, just a need to be patient and give the team some time to re-grease some significant changes in their roster.

    The goals will come. Hopefully this gets people off the freaking bandwagon. If you think this team hasn’t been playing hard lately then you don’t deserve to watch them.
