Kid gets so much hate on this board, but he works his ass off, and plays hard. He had a monster game tonight. this story reminds me of when he finished a game and scored the game winner with a fracture in his leg
Drafting Senyshyn over just about anyone in the top 50 is biting them in the ass.I know 2015 draft dead horse has been beaten to dust at this point but drafting Senyshyn over Barzal is really biting them in the ass these days
Exactly, when did anyone ever get him the puck in prime scoring areas in the o-zone (other than Mac force-feeding him on the PP)? He literally has to do all the work himself. Can you imagine prime Savy feeding him lol. Mind you, he scores on his breakaway might have been a different story, alas.He didn't exactly have prime Bergeron and Krejci centering him, so that could have something to do with it, He did his best with what he had IMO.
Put him on Boston and he won't "blow".Charlie has never been a top offensive guy but Werenski blows trying to play d,
Marchand isn’t really core anymore IMO. It’s Mac, Pasta, and Sway’s team going forward. Need to build around them and find the right guys. Marchy can play for my team as long as he wants though, within reason on the contract of course.I’m moving on. You really need to rebuild this core and Marchy has taken a beating all these years. It’s called asset management, some team with a hole in their lineup would give you couple of good pieces.
I’m looking to rebuild this team isn’t a piece or two away from winning next year
Well for 4 of the games anyway.I'm happy the Bruins gave everything they had this series, despite the big holes in the roster. We learned a lot about some of the younger guys.
I expected Maroon to be borderline worthless but he managed to miss even that expectation.
Depth low end players impact games as well. Remember Thornton-Campbell-Paille winning games against NYR a decade ago? 2011 vs Vancouver?
The version of 4th lines Montgomery was limited to due to Maroon was the opposite of impactful and often a negative, rarely neutral, and extremely rarely positive.
Maroon is by far the slowest and worst player in the NHL at this point, yet he played every game.
Nah, if Sweeney stays he will resign Grzelcyk for that job.So, the new whipping boy.
Bravo.
Also, fire Sweeney and Montgomery.
Maroon was fine, they have much bigger issues to be concerned with. Sweeney obviously realized he had a hole in leadership and made the move for Maroon. Sign him for 1M and he plays 40 games next year but is still a dressing room leader.I expected Maroon to be borderline worthless but he managed to miss even that expectation.

And this team actually had more playoff wins than last year. Bruins well positioned now for next season and that's been a rare statement since 2014.Considering we lost Bergeron, Krejci, Hall, Orlov, and Bertuzzi and replaced them all with lesser tier players, our "league worst" prospect pool had Lohrei, Beecher, Poitras, and Brazeau show they are NHL level talent, Swayman showing he is capable of being a top 5 goalie in the league, and us making Toronto collapse and choke again in an epic game 7, and not rolling over and dying down 3-1 to Florida who was a mjch better team I consider this season an A-. Sad ending but not disappointed in this team overall
Oooh he stepped up against Toronto. He could do that in his 40’s I bet. He was made irrelevant against Florida. I’m not interested in running a retirement home for the Aged and Once Great. We aren’t winning shit without some major change.Oh wow he wasn’t a monster in a game he probably played in concussed? Shockerrrrrrrr
He is so far from cooked, he’s a huge reason they beat Toronto. Now he’s not an elite player anymore, but that’s very different than being cooked
I am sure he will .Crosby his buddy too.Who the hell knows. I just want him to get the chance Bettman and then Covid took from him.
If by top-9 you mean bottom-6 (i.e., 3rd-liners) then sure.Frederic, Geekie and Poitras are all top 9 guys. Don’t forget about Brad. Lysell and Merkulov ready to challenge, too.
Need someone to slot up top, badly.
Why is he going to learn how to defend? Overrated player, I hope you are not saying you would have him over CharliePut him on Boston and he won't "blow".
But we still have GrizzSigh
If Lauzon played in this series
A dream!

Sure but where does he fit? 3rd line. Look, he’s not going to be a top 6 forward next year. Not for a contender. I’d move on and get some assets.Marchand isn’t really core anymore IMO. It’s Mac, Pasta, and Sway’s team going forward. Need to build around them and find the right guys. Marchy can play for my team as long as he wants though, within reason on the contract of course.
Cannot pay him a dime. Sweeney cannot afford to waste cap this time around.But we still have Grizz
Taking this weak BRUINS team to the 6th game of the 2nd round. And w/o much of anything from the supposedly 2 best offensive players. I doubt I'll complain about his coaching.What was excuse last season? Hey Butch did more and got fired.Anyhow I don't care what they do with him but don't complain if you see him doing same thing next playoffs.
Yup. At the end of the day getting Maroon was fallout from the Lucic debacle.I don't blame Maroon as much as I do Lucic here but I digress.....
