Could this be the year the Bruins finally miss the playoffs?

Going to be a fight to the end between the Bruins, Sens, and Wings to see which one gets into the playoffs. Bruins are old and slow. So likely it’s the Sens or Wings. Two young teams in the rise.

The team is 100 years old, true. But if you look at the numbers, the players are not older than most other teams, sorry.

The Bruins are old and play slow. The Wings and Sens are young and play fast. Imo this is the year one (or both) of those two clubs pass the Bruins in the standings. The Bruins will finish fourth or fifth in that division and miss the playoffs.

I’m not going to argue with any criticisms here. I haven’t got time for that. I will say this season so far is poorest on ice performance I’ve seen in a very long time. The system has all but been eliminated and the caveman-like play has been embarrassing. When I see a PP at 13% and PK at 75% after 15 games of .500 hockey, it’s time to fire the coaching staff. Especially after the UFA signings in the off season. Sorry, but time to move on. 84 f-cking penalties called against and no other team is even close. Caveman!!

The Bruins aren't that old. They are in the younger half of the league.

Bruins are the 22nd oldest team in the league at 28.1 average years. Detroit is 20th at 28.2 years, Ottawa 27th at is 27.6.

Care to try again?

Ages of key players. The guys who lead their clubs. All teams have younger guys on cheaper contracts. The Bruins are old and slow in their core, especially when compared to the Wings and Sens. So watching these teams’ play it’s clear two are young and fast. One is old and slow.

Goalposts moving like they have wheels on them. Of the key players who lead the club, i.e. Pastrnak, McAvoy, Marchand, Swayman, only one is older than the average age of the team. So just admit you thought the Bruins were older than they actually are before you make a bigger fool out of yourself than you have already.

Are you sure about that? Because when I sort by clicking on average age on that site, Boston is 25 (and younger than the site I gave). Ottawa is 24, and Detroit is 11. But ok, we'll use those numbers.

You sorted oldest to youngest
Not youngest to oldest

Correct, because in my post I also sorted oldest to youngest.

As I stated:

"Bruins are the 22nd oldest team in the league at 28.1 average years. Detroit is 20th at 28.2 years, Ottawa 27th at is 27.6."

LOL, of course you run to his defense, you've spent almost two decades and probably at least 20K+ posts trying to egg on Leafs fans :laugh:
Again, is this a hockey discussion website ?

If so, what's wrong on focusing on one team (namely the one who won the Cup two months before i reached my 18th birthday and before the summer of "Terre des Hommes") ?

I don't know if it's an Ottawa thing or a Boston thing, but Boston was completely dominated in their barn last night.

Not getting a shot on net in the 3rd period. Wow. I'm sure the Boston papers have dug up an answer on how long it's been since that happened.

Edit: gotta love AI engines. December 21, 2006.
