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

[shelbysdad]

Keep (some because he have to)

Pasta, Elias, kastelic
MacAvoy, imitation Z, Hampus, Lohrie
Sway

Anyone else for sale
Bring in picks, offensive D (2), young scorer (not realistic probably)

We need to find our Hyman, Van der Hagey (whatever) , Marchessault (?) etc

 

[DKH]

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

How about a 2 and 4

 

[Number8]

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.

Charlie Jacobs waking up and realizing anything is just not in the stars. He wouldn’t know a hockey puck if I fired one up his ass with a howitzer.

 

[Alicat]

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

I laugh every f***ing time.

 

[NeelyOrr]

I think you're joking.

 

[The don godfather]

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

Well baby steps for sure lets win one in tampa.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

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.

I would like to see an impact trade before we think rebuild.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

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.

Love your positivity, don , but as the losses mount it’s becoming a little delusional.

 

[Alicat]

Ryder, Halak and a 2nd for Crosby.

You trust him to build a good good core? When they hired him alot of key pieces were in place like Chara,Bergeron.Hats off to him adding around it but actually building it from foundation is totally different in my mind.This abomination he built here is pathetic.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Sacco’s been with the Bruins 10 years now. That’s wild.

Anywho, hope Lindholm comes back soon and fixes something.

Not sure why I watch these games. It’s so bad

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

I think you're joking.

I think the Freddy haters will be surprised what his value is on the trade market. I hope they resign him personally

 

[NeelyOrr]

That's why I put smiley face well one can dream

Yup, that's a right given in the Constitution. The pursuit of happy dreams.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Good to see you posting

Like a moth to the flame (or in this case, a burning wreck ).

Right now, I have some time to post and am interested in what happens with both the Bruins and the Patriots. It’s been a great run for the last couple of decades. I hope everyone appreciated it.

Time to create some new legends.

 

[GordonHowe]

Ive got nothing.

Neither do they.

Your hate is alarming

Stempniak got that

Yep. Sweeney built it.

 

[Sheppy]

So basically every player who did a post game interview “doesn’t know” what’s wrong, lol.

Did it have to be this way though? Why did they spend so much money on Lindholm and Zadarov? Poitras and Wotherspoon playing regularly likely have more impact than those two busts .

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

On my cold way home, that was pretty much what I expected, which is damn sad I don’t see this being fixable, sell, trade, whatever in what remains of the season. Cash in your chips, sell off the impending FA’s, get some picks, restock for the future.

Monty said the same thing lol

 

[Aussie Bruin]

I'm fully at peace with the fact this team cannot be a contender this year and nothing will make it so. It happens, and the Bruins were well overdue this type of season.

The interest now lies in seeing what management do from here. A) cling on to the hope of a playoff spot until the bitter end, B) simply tread water until season's end, C) get a head start at the deadline on what they hope will be a short, sharp re-tool, or D) look to blow it all up and go in for a major rebuild?

C is what IMO they should do, A is what they will do and suffer for it, B would be harmless enough but a wasted opportunity, D they will never consider unless given absolutely no choice.

 

[chrisab123]

Sacco is probably not the coach next year. I just hope they don’t go after someone like Donato since he’s a local guy and a former Neely teammate. They need to clean house but they won’t. That said, they could be aggressive at the deadline and make the playoffs and kick the can down the road two years but the bill is going to come due eventually. Trying to contend right now and trading high picks to just make the wild card would be the dumbest thing Sweeney could do.

 

[bruins19]

Hope they lose another game 7 in the Stanley cup finals. It's more painful then not even making it.

Oilers have not won a Cup since ten years before this millennium started, despite having multiple years of top picks to stock their team. Seeing them lose again would be like watching the Yankees getting eliminated or the Flyers, Habs, (or fill in the blank with your favorite team to hate) get bounced. Sheer joy. May their futile efforts continue.
