Post-Game Talk: GAME 43 - The ship was the pride of the American side..... Oilers 4 BRUINS 0

[DKH]

There was pockets of Fire Donny. I took pictures on my phone to give to security

Outrageous

Need to do a soft rebuild like Caps

Marchand gets you a bundle and Freddy maybe get a first

Coyle waives would be great third liner on Edmonton

Get in top 8

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Am I reading this right?

McAvoy and Frederic were among the better players tonight.

(Relatively speaking)

Impossible, they suck

 

[Trizz617]

Honest question, and I truly don’t even know how to feel about this.

Would you rather them make the playoffs and get embarrassed, or miss out and have a chance at a high pick?

I'd love for them to find a way to catch lightning in a bottle and get into the playoffs.

However, if its at the expense of another 1st rd exit and subsequent middling 1st rd pick, then the needle isn't pushed nearly enough.

Seriously, watch that guy hit the propeller in the Titanic and not laugh.

Oilers board all celebrating Skinner getting a shutout. Really? You shut out a team that struggles to score 1 goal a night. Congratulations

Sadly, “the scoreboard don’t say how, just how many.”

Sacco is not a good coach but at some point Charlie Jacobs might wake up and realize this is not a coaching issue. It's time to embrace a rebuild in some capacity. Time to start dealing guys away. Or pull the plug on Don Sweeney and hire someone else to start the rebuild. They are stuck in purgatory right now.

Ironically, he's coaching a not good team.

Was never a fan of the expanded/new/only for smart people stats…..but this certainly doesn’t change my mind.

That just shows that stats are not the be all end all!

Frederic won’t get you anything close to a first.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Absolutely. This is not a coaching problem. This is a personnel issue and it's time to start offloading. Personally, I want a different GM leading a rebuild.

The entire team is a mess, don't do something stupid in trading the wrong guys

 

[22Brad Park]

I give up watching Moonshiners for this

 

[NeelyOrr]

If this team was a background character, they’d be that guy who hits the propeller in the Titanic.

Yup, and most people thought it was an iceberg that caused it sinking.

He did stop 4 breakaways,

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Never blew it they are just not good enough

This.

For the last 15 years the Bruins have been one of the better teams in the NHL. At some point, it has to end. I’m not even mad about it. It is what it is.

Could Sweeney have been better? Yes, but it’s not his fault that for the past 9-10 years they have added at every deadline and all their moves were geared towards building around the core. That’s what the situation dictated.

Well, that core is almost all gone and it’s time for a rebuild, or at the very least a serious retool. Identify who the new core is and decide on a plan. Deal all your impending FA’s for as much as you can get at the deadline. Get younger players, picks or prospects in return. Call up Merkulov, Lysell and Poitras and see what you have. Aim for a bottom 5 pick and draft an impact player.

I take no pleasure in saying this, but it’s time and I’m not sure the current FO and/or coaching staff are the guys you want rebuilding.

It's called comedy relief.

Man seeing the leafs taking the Atlantic division makes this season more depressing. Hope we get wc spot and meet them and knock then out in 7.

Good to see you posting

I’d want the higher pick if the front office knew how to draft

They are not going to do a rebuild. Too many similar players, find a few offensive guys and see what happens

Don, I respect your optimism, but what the hell are you smoking.
