Sweeney built a team to be big and compete with Florida. Team is slow and low skilled and may not even make the playoffs. No scoring after care free Passta.

Krug was never replaced, Mac is not the guy and every good team has a quaterback on dee that is a threat to score.

Leadership players like Foligno are missed. Coach will be gone but that will not make them goal scorers. They need another scoring threat, to replace Jake and JVR.
What they need is a top lottery Pick or 2 and Start rebuilding :sarcasm:

Monty is Sweeney and Neely's shield right now. If he gets let go at this point and they bring someone else in and the team continues to play like crap, there is no one to lay blame on but themselves at that point for constructing this roster. Kinda like how Julien was the fall guy and Cassidy was the fall guy for the multiple holes in Sweeneys lineup every year.

Except he forgot the part where Florida is big AND fast. It's not like guys like Tkachuk and Barkov can't move.
We could have got Forsling, Bennett, and Reinhart, kudos to their management. They have ex Bruins Boqvist, AJ Greer and Nosek. Plus they have a great coach and play a system. Their star players play like star players one of ours is old and the other playes old.

Professionals? I think some old timers teams could beat them. Very much a middle of the road team who will not likely make the playoffs.

Sens were having a lot of trouble on the road and look what happened. 1 shot total in the 3rd and overtime.

Something has to happen soon for the season will be a real disaster.

Deserved that outcome. Probably should have lost in regulation. Went nearly half the game without a shot on goal heading into overtime. This actually does remind me of the Dave Lewis era Bruins. Zero confidence. Little backbone to speak of. No structure in any facet of the game. PP sucks. PK sucks. Blowing leads left and right, early and often.

Nah they still in this like I said win a couple and were like in top 3 Atlantic standings. It's too tight to panic right now.


I'll take 3 out 4 blindfolded.
You're missing the forest for the trees...they've played two games more than three of the teams behind them and one more than the other two. They are much closer to last place, at this pace, than you seem to realize.
