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

[Fatass]

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.

ehhh not so sure. Something is starting to cook.

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.

It is very early in the season, far too early to bury the Bruins. They just look mortal this year for the first time in a long time.

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.

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."

Ahh ok we’re arguing semantics I see,
Sorting by youngest vs oldest

So the Bruins are the 8th youngest team in the league?

Right, it's two ways of saying the same thing - Anybody calling the Bruins "old" doesn't know what they are talking about.
