Post-Game Talk: ECQF GAME 7 - That's All Folks - It's Over - THANK YOU BERGIE

[CAW1313]

Thank you all, have a safe and good summer. I don’t post much during the off-season but will often read all your post. Bruins number 1 fan in Detroit says… “Thank you for another entertaining year, have a great and safe summer and all though the season didn’t end the way I liked I still love my Bruins and always will!” Can’t wait until next season to ride and die with my beloved Black and Gold.

Word is Bergy and Marchand wanted to run it back for one last crack at the ether thing after last season’s loss to the Isles, right?

Well, they tried.

I’d have taken it down to the studs a year early. They waited a year longer.

Probably won’t matter in the long run.

This isn’t the 21 team format that they made the playoffs every year under.

Look at the Red Wings.

As @Gee Wally has said, some of you have not been around for some of the lean years.

We’ve gone from being nostalgic about the 1980s to the 1990s lately.

Remember the mid-late 90s Bruins? They may be coming back.

2 goals game 7 and dressing guys who never score.Bruce deserves whatever they decide

The situation Sweeney walked into was probably one of the best possible starting points a GM could ask for.

Shame we have nothing to show for it

Sweeney at absolute minimum must go.

 

[Fenian24]

Well good to know the people who still think Santa Claus is real, politicians honest and the Bruins a team to be proud of on here. Makes the ignore feature vital.

Bruce went with Foligno Nosek etc entire series.sleepless night incoming.

He didn’t want to ruffle . He did earlier in the season with Gryz and that’s when Bergy got pissed and had to have a talk with him. He didn’t have the control in the room that you might think. I think he liked some of those young players like Steen but he was handcuffed by either management or the leaders on the team.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

My guess is they bring Krejci back and try again. If that's the case I will be pretty disappointed. This team needs a major overhaul from top to bottom, management especially.

I'll be shocked if Krejci ever plays an NHL game again. JMO

that would be the end of watching sports for me then. lol

 

[bruinsfan1970]

I hope they clean house, tired of all of this up and down crap, the one and done has to stop.

Whatever that is, he deserves far worse

Hes stubborn to change and one of his downfalls. Hes outta here . Book that twice.

 

[RHR37]

Don't feel to bad folks. These guys go home to their mansions and months off with family as we all go to work Monday and struggle with inflation

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

The rebuild I wanted seasons ago still looks to be the right call.

Too many holes. Too many other teams on the upswing with guys just entering their primes.

But I just don't trust the current management group to lead the rebuild.

 

[Baddkarma]

Any chance of a post game presser link?

 

[neelyforpresident]

If Bergeron really is done they need to make a serious push for Forsberg.

 

[Bs1011]

Sweeney at absolute minimum must go.

He signs the core to team friendly contracts taking a page from Harry Sinden. He won’t go anywhere with the guy from Buffalo as the owner

 

[EvilElf63]

I bummed.

 

[quietbruinfan]

I am hoping for a house cleaning with Bruce staying, but it does not work that way. ...I am pretty sure Bergy retires, and they bring back Krejci in one of their patented meaningless cosmetic moves.

I do not think Trotz is coming but is an outside possibility. It will be some dunderhead like Milbury or the guy the Isles had a few years ago.

Thank you for everything Bergy!!

 

[Memokerobi]

We’ve known this for years now and its not fixed. This team’s floor was the playoffs anyways with Bergy and Marchand on the roster and they never were able to put up a roster to compete well in the postseason

 

[UncleRico]

If Bergeron is gone, please clear house with management. I really do not want to watch Sweeney rebuild another team and not do I want to see Cassidy coach that team.

Cassidy and Sweeney’s tenure should be tied to however long Bergeron wants to stay around

 

[Shooksie]

just wanted to say it's been fun talking hockey/bruins hockey with y'all the last couple weeks. and looking forward to everyone's offseason thoughts/reactions and having a place to share my own. im sure it's going to be an interesting offseason for us

 

[frankiess]

Hey guys, great series. Normally I don’t drop in to opposing GDTs but just wanted to share a detail that was likely not caught on camera — after completing the handshake line, Bergeron went out of his way to find all 4 officials and shake their hands. He was the only player on either team to do so.

Taking numbers.

 

[PatriceBergeron]

Tough matchup for them in a tough conference. They pushed them right to the brink. I'm disappointed, but I'm not angry.

I don't think Bergy is done... One more year.

It’s one thing if this team is a contender, but when this management group is going to have the likes of Haula, Frederic, Foligno, Nosek, Grzelcyk, etc. in the lineup, I don’t know why he would come back at this point.

Why put your body through year 19 when your 2nd line center is going to be Erik Haula?

 

[bwunderlich]

Marchand, Hall, and Smith. Expected much more from them.

Crossing sports, but you look at what the Seattle Seahawks did this off season trading Russell Wilson.

They saw their path was blocked and punted away.

Sometimes you have to make the long play.
