Remember when Claude hated the kids?
Remember when Bruce hated the kids?
Remember when Monty…

It’s a myth. It’s old and it’s tired.

Meh...hit or miss with your "myth" statement. This year is different. Bruins went out and collected some interesting x first round picks. It's pretty obvious bruins brass are evaluating for value/potential however the evaluation period won't last much longer. Lysell is the easy decision because he can be clear waivers.

 

[PlayMakers]

Couldn't agree more. If they are just so so by december, I do think they could fire him.

Yeah, I forget the numbers but teams that aren't in the playoff picture by Thanksgiving rarely make it. If they wait another 15 games to get serious about their issues it will be too late.

Our "kids" are now mid-life AHL slugs like 55. There is good reason to not like their play.

I'm not good a line up things. I posted this on the game thread...thoughts?

We all agree some similarities between Lindholm and Bergeron...SO get Bergeron back with Marchand.

That of course assumes they are going to start losing games and be out of the playoff picture by Thanksgiving. They haven't had a good start, but so far it really hasn't hurt them at all in the standings. I know after the last 2 years not being the best team in hockey for the first 6 weeks feels just different.

If we do not use Brazeau on the second unit or a spell on the first power play unit to park his ass in front of the net then why bother dressing him.

Not sure what the long range plan is with this kid.

Monty said at practice yesterday he's gonna use the 4th line 16 min instead of 12

Probably the wrong thread, but that would be awesome, if only for one reason - it would force out a lot of the age 28+ shitbirds whose only skills are jumping kids half their age/size and delivering head trauma on demand. The league adding a bunch of teenagers would make the league safer, which sounds ironic but would probably hold true.

Except the NHL/CHL agreement doesn't expire until June 2029 and that agreement determines the age of CHL players to go to the AHL, not the CBA.

I could get behind this

I don't think you have to make assumptions. They have a .600 win pct. They're tied with 3 teams for two wild card spots. They just don't appear to be in a bad spot in the standings because they've played more games than the other teams, but if you level the playing field they're in 7th, 8th or 9th place.

They can't afford to have another 3 weeks like the first 3 weeks.
