"Boston's core is a bunch of frauds"
Well damn, the other 31 teams got their asses handed to them all season long by a bunch of frauds. They all must really suck.
Meanwhile the Penguins couldn't even beat Chicago and Columbus, 2 of the worst teams in the entire league, to get into the playoffs
That doesn't really make any sense. The Penguins weren't frauds because nobody thought they were very good. The Bruins on the other hand appeared to be one of the greatest teams in NHL history, but turned out to not be.

Without question you need to have a really good team to win a Cup but there's a lot of things that still have to go right over 4 playoff series for a team to win.
Fans also don't tend to respect all that much the teams their teams play against. If their team ends up as one of the top 5/6/7 teams they almost always think their opponents suck. Every year there are upsets though.

Sure, if your point was that you'd rather be the Bruins right now than the Penguins, then that's totally fair. The Penguins failures this season were entirely predictable, so I can't see how they were frauds, they were just plain bad
I kinda feel that the Bruins were victimized by their own success.
I say this as someone who didn't watch the series, but could it have been a case where the Bruins haven't had to play actual meaningful hockey in weeks, as they would have had the President's trophy wrapped up ages ago, while the Panthers had to compete until the very end just for a chance to play the Bruins?

Maaaaybe.
I think when you have nothing to play for you need to set your own goals. Like Tiger at Pebble Beach in 2000. He was destroying the competition, but to keep himself going he set a goal for himself - don't make a bogey in the final round.
But the Bruins had clear goals right there in front of them: get the wins record, get Pasta 60 goals.

Well we're both now in the same position so it doesn't really matter. And I wasn't saying the Penguins were frauds. Just that they sucked and couldn't even beat 2 of the worst teams in the league to make the playoffs. The schedule maker gave them a gift and they couldn't even finish itSure, if your point was that you'd rather be the Bruins right now than the Penguins, then that's totally fair.

Atlanta Braves won a single title through 15 years of dominance.Anyone who's experienced their favourite team win
Most Braves fans probably think more about the ones they didn't get vs the one they did. At least most Braves fans I know feel that way.

I'm not sure if you're a Bruins Fan, but you sound incredibly entitled right now. You know how many teams would kill for the success that Boston has had over the last 15 years? Probably around 25 or so. My team hasn't won a cup in the last 30 years and has made it past the second round twice in that time frame. The Leafs just broke a 19 year drought of winning a single series. There are multiple other teams in the league that haven't seen a cup final in 20+ years.
Fans like this don't deserve a team as good as Boston. Spoiled.

I guess I missed people proclaiming them THE team of the last 10-12 years. I feel like they been well respected, but not a whole lot beyond that.

Well not every team gets handed numerous #1 picks because Bettman loves the owner. Maybe the Boston owner should threaten to move to Hamilton-Kitchner-Waterloo, or Kansas City unless they get their wish?

This thread is almost as good as that one dingbat who said they were bigger chokers than the Leafs, *aside from that time they won the Cup.*
Boston has been a contender for more than a decade. They did pretty good.

Well, they could do a better job at tanking, I agree.
The Greatest Tank Battle: Penguins vs. Devils, 1983-84
What do you do when a 6’4″ QMJHL forward who scored 184 points in 66 games in his last underage season scores at a 282-point pace in his draft year? You tank — you tank as hard as…

Actually, You maybe right though, Boston probably have been tanking in the playoffs to get a better draft pick all these years.
