[smithformeragent]

Pretty simple.

Do they make the cut or not?

This season?

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Voted yes. They really shouldn't, and I highly doubt it will do them much good. But the east is so full of dross, the roster for all its flaws is good enough, the Bruins have a strong history of finding a way to make the cut, and Sweeney may not buy much, but I don't think he'll sell either. So I reckon they sneak in.

 

[bruinsfan1970]

If they continue to play like they did the last 2 then yes but they will have to beat the teams that have games in hand.

 

[22Brad Park]

They have 27 games sitting at 60 pts.Good bet about 95 to 98 pts will be needed.Going to take one heck of a finish.

 

[Bruin4]

Went with no. They finish 10th despite Sweeney not trading any of his UFA,and adding giving away more futures

 

[LouJersey]

0,0 they miss IMO. Lindholm will be back, they seem to have 3 lines that may start playing better and Swayman is back to bulldog status.

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

I think they make the playoffs. They will be one and done, however.

[MillerTime29Bombs]

If they do. Someone needs to sit down and talk math to them. Let them know that 60 divided by three is 20 and that they need to play all three periods.

 

[Terrier]

No. Too many games in hand elsewhere and too many dropped points like tonight in Manhattan and last month in Ottawa.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Too many teams in the mix have too many games in hand so, I voted no.

 

[Blitzkrug]

No, and if they do it'll be in spite of how they played.

 

[Dr Hook]

I voted no also, but in spite of that, I will not be shocked if they do squeak in. The middle of the pack they are in reeks of mediocrity. A few timely wins and losses and the Bruins could back right in in spite of themselves.

 

[PlayMakers]

I voted no.

They're in 12th place by win percent. They'd need to go 15-8-3 down the stretch (.635) to finish with 93 points and most of their games are on the road. The Sens and Wings have won 7 of their last 10, the Isles have won 8 of their last 10 and now the Rangers have won 6 of 10.

 

[McGarnagle]

Lindholm coming back will help the defense, Sweeney is too hard headed to sell and will add a Stempniak/Stafford type of player at the deadline and they'll back their way into WC2 and getting punted out by Florida again

Be a big mistake parting with more assets .Awesome year to sell.They can aquire picks from drafts down the road as well if they feel this draft is meh

I just haven't seen anything that would make me think they will make the playoffs. We may get Lindholm back and it will help, but other injuries could happen. Just don't think they will show enough before the deadline to stop a retool. That being said I do not know if Sweeney has the balls to sell either way. This team just has no cohesiveness or killer instinct.
