Post-Game Talk: GAME 52 - THE BEAR goes over Niagara Falls - Sabres 7 BRUINS 2

Thursday against the Jets isn't looking too good after we got smoked by the worst team in the east.

When was that?

After the lock out in 04 (05?). Team was awful, attendance dropped & Jacobs took a hit to his wallet. Next thing you knew he fired everybody and brought in Chiarelli & company.

IMO team management has come full circle. The old ex-Bruins network is back and the team is stagnant. Time for another house cleaning.

JMO.
 
They will probably win and convincingly, too. They lose to the worst team in the East tonight, worst team in the West not long ago- you never know what you’re going to get out this clown show.
Much more likely they win, it will be closer to Colorado win, then Capitals win, right before Christmas break. If for some reason McAvoy and Carlo not back it will be exactly like Avs game.

It's the only language the Jacobses understand. They didn't do a f***ing thing until the ST holders quit in droves & even the regular fans stopped showing up. They got the message loud and clear: fix the team or we spend our money elsewhere.
Well, I think we all agree, a message must be sent, but to be fair to the ST, many waited on a list for those tickets, so before that action is taken, start not buying that overpriced beer, hotdogs, any other shit food they are throwing out there. have a meal at home before you leave for the game, go out to eat before or after the game, better for the small business owners, and you will be grateful for a good meal. I also suggest stop buying that overpriced merchandise that they are putting out there, you do not need to wear that crap at those prices, to show your support for the team. Small sacrifice to make a point, just do it.
 
Mimicking Florida requires the acquisition of a lot more talent. It's not the toughness of Florida they are missing, it's the upper tier 1C and scoring depth throughout the lineup.
We can thank Sweeney and his drafting between 2015-2017 for that. Should be looking minimum at Barzal and Thomas\Noris at center (taken directly after the 3 Amigos and Vaak) and Kyrou taken 6 picks after Frederic, not to mention Kyle Connor.
 
When Tage played for UCONN he was basically a power play goal scorer. He's always had that shot. But there really weren't any signs of the total package we see now. Took him 5 seasons in the league before he suddenly blossomed. Patience is a virtue.
He looked good at World Jr's though .You could tell there he was going to be good.USA leaving him off 4 nations is eye popping
 
At this point, Sweeney would trade for Elias Pettersson thinking he got the forward and Vancouver would actually send the defenseman :laugh:
Good luck making any sense of this team.

Lose to a bottom feeder.

Come out looking like gangbusters against the elite.
Wouldn't surprise me.

Feast or famine.

And no, I don't think that justifies an approach of "Just make the tournament and hope Swayman gets hot. Anything can happen."
 
The takeaway from last night? SELL SELL SELL

Do not add to this team because this team is not worthy of being added to. Sell as much as you can and start over. It's time.
You categorically can't say that. There aren't 32 geniuses running NHL franchises.
Of course that applies to Sweeney, but if a Coyle for Donato, Taylor Hall or Zacha for Haula type deal appears you have to do it.

I know what you're saying but no can do.

Swayman contract should be the final nail in Sweeney's coffin
16 million for Swayman, and Lindholm, not saying DeBrusk should have been signed, but a replacement should have been. I said at the time Swayman was signed; you can be the greatest goaltender in the world, but if there is no one in front of you it does not matter.
 
Some time in our careers you will run into that one guy at work who everyone knows is lazy and cuts corners. You can never get ahold of them when you need something, they are the first one gone from their desk toward the end of the day. Their work is always bare bones, but somehow they never quite do enough to get fired. So they are there for years in that limbo of never achieving and never outright failing. They never have to worry about big projects or extra work because no one would dare put him on any team for something important or speedy.

I feel like I have been watching that sitcom this season.
Hey! You almost hurt my feeling!!!!!!!

We're talking about two different things here though. You're talking about a hockey trade that helps your team now and into the future. I'm talking about adding a rental at the deadline, which would be a huge mistake. The deals you reference, 2 were off season moves, and only the Coyle deal was in season and close to the deadline. But even then, that was more the organization giving up on at the time, a high rated prospect than having to get Coyle.
 
Zadorov, Elias Lindholm and Swayman signings have condemned this team to playoff bubble purgatory for the next decade.

Add to that the fact that we have zero prospects coming up through the system.

This is gonna be miserable.
-Zadorov
Swayman:

16-17-4, 3.03 and .895%

f***ing Woof.
Well he's fourth best goalie they can play right now. He's laughable. Only saves easy glove shots or shots that comes to straight to logo. Forget buying Lindholm's contract out. This guy needs to go. Rather take Patrick Lalime back than watch this guy letting straight non-masked shots go in all the time.
