Let’s face it a lot of guys had career years last year. Now they are back to thier usually career averages. Particularly Coyle who is usually a 15-20 goal guy.

Try watching the game with your own eyes and tell me again Swayman lost that game with a straight face.
We use Execulink but the infrastructure is owned by Rogers, so when we need service to the actual physical equipment, it is Rogers who is sent out. It doesn't matter who we go with. We are in a small town, so they don't care as much as the more populated areas. Our phones are with Virgin, which is owned by Bell, so that when we inevitably lose service, at least we don't lose phone and internet at the same time.
I was only able to watch the highlights. I saw Swayman let in goals from spots where the goalie would generally be expected to make the save.
Short-side high has killed Swayman all year and shooters know it.
They have had goals scored on them during line changes, including last night, that laziness played a part in. Two forwards amongst 88\18\39 lolly gagged to the
bench on the change. It resulted in Thompson having no one within two strides of him to wind up and crank in a goal.

Two things can be true at once.
The entire Bruins team is horrifically bad in every aspect.
Swayman is an $8mil goalie playing like a $750k AHL callup goalie.

That's why I said 'for the most part.' They have their moments, as do pretty much every other team and player in the league. But overall, I do not see laziness and lack of effort being a primary issue for the club.
Is that Deserve O Win Meter in the same room as Romper Room's Magic Mirror?
I kid, but does that meter factor in that its Vinnie Littieri failing on open net feeds
rather than actual NHL players?

Swayman gets shit on here because he held out but that was on Sweeney not his agent, who gave them that power in negotiations. Every goalie let's in bad goals but not many get the same abuse Sway does here.
It seems it happens more with this team and I watch a lot of other games.

I think they should just do a 2 month tank at the 4N and go for a top 5 pick. LTIR Lindholm, McAvoy and Kastelic. Trade Marchand with a plan on him coming back.
Get 2 firsts for the '25 draft and just plan on this being a lost year.
Maybe you get lucky on The Draft Deserve O Meter and get the #1 pick...lol.

That would be the 2024-25 Boston Bruins. An unstoppable juggernaut that is so offensively-gifted they can afford to let potential assets like Lysell and Merkulov rot in the minors while the big club continues to stack Ws on top of Ws and dominate in every statistical category, most notably the goal differential.

Yeah, but he'd only waive for Boston so it's not like Buffalo had any leeway.

In Canada they do but then Hockey is a #1 sport and not a #4 like most places in the USA
Man they are no where near 8.5 million dollars per year numbers
Well it was still at the deadline and so knows when that van happen again.
You also said they shouldn't add and you didn't differentiate a hockey trade as opposed to strictly rental. If you had I agree with you.

Well if you scramble his SV% you can get 8.59 which kind of looks like his cap hit

If you could honestly move Swayman, Coyle, and Carlo for Demko and Pettersson, would you?
The only way to send a message now days is for a coach to tell the guys not giving there all is to take off their gear and stay in the room . I would play with 2 lines and 4 dman and get slaughtered then use lazy ass skaters who are just collecting a pay cheque. The Bruins have very little talent but for every team there is hustle and moving your feet. Give an honest effort and we as fans could handle some of these losses. But to not show up against the worst team in the eastern conference and get severely out huddled is a terrible look.
