Post-Game Talk: GAME #34 - Islanders put coal in Bruins stocking - Islanders 4 BRUINS 2 F

[vjcsmoke]

First i want to say Bergeron is the face of the team right now. Unfortunately the team right now is not very good. The man is a hall of famer and i have nothing but respect for what he has done for the Bruins. Here is the question you have to ask. Is he the future of the Bruins? Probably not. Can you go with a 1st or 2nd line Center who has 9 points in 33 games ? Not if you want to be successful. My heart says you cant trade him. My head says you must look to the future. When some of the youth grow to being in their prime Bergy will be past his. i really dont have an answer but this is what Sweeny is facing right now.

Would rather trade Krejci than Bergeron. And only if we get a legit top 2-4 quality defenseman for Krejci.

And I have no idea why we are paying top money for 3 centers and not playing them as centers. Why is Backes still on the wing?

Because Claude is mind numbingly patient,he'll wait the entire year if he has to.

Because they need a winger more than a center? The only natural RWs they have are Pastrnak and Hayes. Acciari, Nash and Czarnik are all natural centers.

Taking into account the problem PP and Krejci's health I still believe Loui would have 25 points here right now. The Sedins and Loui started out painfully slowly with the conclusion that Loui was too much like Daniel and somehow that hurt the whole line,now he's lining up with 2 players that have never eclipsed 32 points in a season. WTF do we know about Loui when he plays with lesser talents? His production declines. He is not Tim Schaller who would need to play with Mario to pay off,he simply needs equal talent.

Exactly.

Eriksson is not playing with Krejci,he's not playing with the Sedins either.

Boston 14th overall 37 pts - 3
Canucks 27th overall 31 pts - 17

Compare what they both have done in Bruin uniforms, its no close, our powerplay left with Loui. We needed a mid vet top 4 deeman not another over 30 year old forward, whose best years are apparently behind them. I was hoping to be blown away by him, still time. He has leadership skills and can lay big hits but once again Claude is fitting square pegs in round holes. I was all for moving Eriksson before the end of last year and it blew up in there faces. I would have not wanted Loui longer then a 4 year deal, maybe 5. We ended up with a guy that has 6 years and will be 33 this season. Stempniak would have been a cheaper deal. Backes at age 27 would have been perfect, maybe move Krech and let him have the 2nd center spot. Too many centers on the team and not enough skilled scoring wingers.
