Boston is last in the East

[John Price]

Me frantically finding the "how is Boston so good every year" thread on HF

they weren't good every year.they were grossly overrated.and then haven't done anything since letting Cassidy walk.they deserve to fail

 

[JianYang]

Habs and Maple Leafs fans can unite in their hatred, only for the purpose of this thread.

I cant recall a time when the habs bruins rivalry was as low as it has been since covid.

They used to play each other all the time including playoffs. They have now gone 11 years without a post season matchup which is easily the longest drought in their respective histories.

Prior to this drought, they played each other in the playoffs in 02, 04, 08, 09, 11, and 14. It was also a miracle they didnt face each other in 2010 semi finals as the bruins had a 3-0 series lead that they needed to bring home in order to make that matchup happen

 

[HabsQC]

They should go full tank mode and hope to draft one of McKenna/Dupont and maybe hope for both

I'm sure Mr. Jacobs can find something to make it work

 

[elmaco]

Tank begins

 

[mjhfb]

Management seriously underestimated the impact of losing not one but two #1 centers they relied on for over a decade.

 

[PB37]

Have they won a single game since trading Marchand?

Two, which gave the fanbase a glimmer of hope. But now it's full steam ahead to a good spot in the draft, some retooling in free agency, and hopefully a better roster at the start of next season.

I`am glad for Nikita Zadorov

 

[SanDogBrewin]

I remember people were talking about Pastrnak for Hart.

Did he quit on the team?

You have watched zero Bruins games to even ask that question. How dumb.

Yeah, 5 points tonight, and he scored his 40th, while playing on a team with an AHL dee line-up

Nice for him to show up after losing 10 in a row.

 

[Grasshopperking]

and they just beat the shit out of the canes lmao

BACK TO TANKING NOW

He had 8 points in those 10 games. He contributed to like half the goals the entire team scored during that stretch.

He’s surrounded by garbage lmao. You picked the only guy on the team with a pulse too attack for some reason.

Didn't underestimate losing a #1 and #2 center. Replacing them is hard to do, for any organization, when a franchise is always giving up high draft picks, almost every trade deadline.

When the Bruins did have a 1st or 2nd round picks. They picked late in rounds. Trading for a #1 or #2 center is extremely difficult. Missing the playoffs was inevitable.

Wasn't he -5 like 2 games ago?

It goes both ways. I know fans of their teams like to say when things are going well, it's all because of their best players and when things are going bad it's all because of everyone but their best players.

The team lives and dies off the best players. Pastrnak is the one that's supposed to lead them and he's leading them to last in the East. He deserves some blame. No one is expecting their 4th line center to win games for them.

Dont bother man . Remember its very hard to win an argument with smart people but impossible to win one with stupid people . This guy here is undefeated...

He’s got twice as many points as the 2nd leading scorer on the team. Neither goalie has above a .895 save percentage.

It’s a team sport, he deserves none of the blame.

He’s going to be top 5 in points and goals by the end of tonight.

 

[SensontheRush]

It was effectively sabotage.

Trade away a Vezina winner, let go of a Jack Adams coach, move on from the long-term captain. If the intention was to remain competitive, literally every decision was made incorrectly.

You think easily our best player, who has scored 50 points since the beginning of this year on his way to his fourth consecutive 40 goal season with the hat trick and 5 points tonight has quit on his team? There is a reason he is the only player currently on the ice that wears a letter. He is easily our MVP and the only reason the Bruins are not floundering in last place this season.

 

[stator]

This retool is going to take at least two years. I wouldn’t go sign free agents to big contracts. They need another subpar season and get another high pick. The year got out of hand for many reasons as we know. Injuries, coaches, and players sucking derailed them.

Should have hired Grier for the best subpar season(s). lol

 

[Leafidelity]

Eliminated

[NobleSix]

They're going to be bad for a long time.

Likely trade whatever futures they have now to try and retool and then when that plan inevitably fails in 2-3 years they'll start the full on rebuild.

Dark times ahead in Boston.

This one goes straight into the hall of poorly timed posts.

He is 4th for points in the league, tied with your soon-to-be paid 14 million dollar player
