Post-Game Talk: GAME 41 - Toronto 6 BRUINS 4

[BigGoalBrad]

I hate Swayman.

 

[Zillah]

Ep 40? Drool.

Canucks eat some salary and do it . EP making 11.6 for a looong time

 

[Gordoff]

At least half of this roster is limp.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Its already January. Clock is ticking bro.

Maybe him and some others will have big playoffs ,only question is will they make them.

 

[Bruinaura]

Tampa has six (!!!) games in hand and only two points behind. Chances are pretty good they'll be able to take over third at some point.

Swayman Soup

8.25mil per season and what is his save percentage ?

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Would you rather Charlie McAvoy or Darnell Nurse for $9.5m a year?

McAvoy is 10,000x the defenseman Nurse is.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

At least half of this roster is limp.

Will Viagra help

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

I would like to run with Korpisalo but I don’t have much faith in him either . Bussi ?

 

[TD Charlie]

Could’ve been worse. I guess.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

This is becoming an unlikeable Bruins team, only 4-5 guys who I actually like based on their play. Our goaltending is below average, our goal scoring is near the very bottom, our PP is historically bad, our PK well below our normal standards. There is just not much to be optimistic about, Lysell deserves a legitimate shot and Poitras should be recalled. Surely a trade of consequence is coming soon, the team and fan base both need to be reenergized.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

If ownership and management were brave and smart, they'd accept this year is a lost cause, work out what changes they want to make to the roster for next season and who they want to keep around, become sellers at the deadline, and try and do a quick re-tool and go again next year, like the Caps have done. I think this core is not right and one of the top guys, or at least one or two who are in that 'outer' core like Carlo, need to be replaced.

But I really can't see that happening. They'll persevere and cling on to hope until it's entirely snuffed out.

I can't believe they still refuse to make trades with their vets. Gryz and JDB ran their contracts down. Overpaid plug middle liners like Carlo and Coyle same thing. Freddy will leave for nothing.

What is Sweeney scared of it's addition by subtraction when guys get that complacent. Hopefully he's gone too.

 

[CDJ]

Pompoms? No. I've not been shy to say when there was a soft goal given up by Swayman. I'm also not going to blame every goal allowed on him because he makes $8.25 million. Has he been great? No and he's said it himself. Has the defensive structure been bad? Yes. Has the scoring been atrocious? Also yes.

No no, it isnt he “hasn’t been great”. He’s been flat out bad. There are other things lacking on this team for sure- offensive firepower being the biggest one- but the most glaringly obvious factor in this team being much worse than last years team is the guy ranked 4th in saves above expected last season got paid and is now ranked 75th. It is what it is.

 

[Blowfish]

Good effort.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

8.25mil per season and what is his save percentage ?

Heading towards 8.25

 

[22Brad Park]

Feel like they are on wrong side of in-between. It is exactly opposite of when Marco Sturm scored game 6

 

[Mione134]

Man elias has been a disaster so far but its early.

I was worried about this. There's a reason why both Flames and Nuck fan bases were not sheading a tear when he left.


We better hope he turns out good for us. Gave him that huge ass contract an all.

 

[easton117]

7 year contract. Lots of time.

My soul just died a little reading that

I think he will be fine whole team especially forwards have been crap.

 

[Sheppy]

While I don’t blame this on Swayman. It just sucks when your 8+ million dollar goalie struggles to save 90% of the shots.

 

[22Brad Park]

Swayman Soup

Bruins scored 12 goals vs u bums in 2 games so get lost

 

[The don godfather]

As weird as it sounds if we win tomorrow wild card 1 looks strong possibility still. You cant blow this up.

 

[McGarnagle]

He was right about not deflating the market for goalies though. If Swayman was able to set the standard of over $8 million to play like a bag of pig shit, imagine how much money a good goalie can get!

 

[chrisab123]

I don't know why people act surprised. They don’t have really any top end skill guys on this team aside from Pasta. I’m sure Sweeney will be under the gun to trade picks to get this team to a 1st or 2nd round exit. But as much as I would like Sweeney and Neely gone, zero chance that happens.

Last years team overperformed imo largely because of him

Now it’s the opposite
