Post-Game Talk: GAME 53 - Winterpeg 6 BRUINS 2

I really, really, really dislike this team. First time I've ever been on board with a firesale. I'm close to a seething dislike of Elias.

This management team salivated at the notion of acquiring him for two years they loved this player so much and handed him what might be one of the worst contracts of the salary cap era.
Sacco clearly wants to cry. So do I.

Sleepy Joe Sacco and the rest of his brain dead staff make me want to cry.
 
Holy shit this team is ass.

First goal was off a bullshit penalty, but suddenly complaints about refs kinda rings hollow when they just straight up crap all over the ice.

Horrendous puck carrying, passing, pretty much anything required to move up the ice. Braindead coverage in their own zone. Lorhei's gaffe should legit get him scratched for a game.

Sacco sucks too but at the very least we all know he's gone at year's end anyway. He's done nothing to show he's worth taking the tag off.

Small positive; I actually enjoyed the Jets announcers. Incredibly unbiased to the point they wouldn't let go the soft penalty call for the first couple periods and called the game straight down the middle. Good chemistry between the two guys.

This team is built poorly.Sacco may not be that good but no coach is winning with this
 
You know who is on the hot seat…..Charlie is. What is his next most important move for this franchise.
 
I have to emotionally divest from this team for the rest of this season. They are just so glaringly bad. Sweeney built a playoff roster for a team without the skill to make the playoffs. Pure genius.

Lohrei with my vote for gaff of the year. He might as well have just shot it into his own net. Man that was bad.

Free agency was a bust.
Sacco's not the answer.
Team is old, slow and lacks skill. This era is officially at an end. Now we just have to see if they admit it and get to work on a retool/rebuild or if they stubbornly hang on and make the process even slower and more painful.
 
Put Sacco in there with him. Right now you could pull somebody out of the stands and let them coach this team. No structure, poor execution, and hockey IQ negative numbers. He can’t get them to do anything right. He needs to lead and motivate those players. Epic fail at the moment.
Yup. It’s like no one knows how to play hockey anymore. It’s very tough to watch.

Kelly can go with him.

Merk should be given Poitras spot and see if he can do anything given an opportunity. 51 hasn’t proved he’s ready for full time duty

There's some players on this team that you could place in front of your driveway with a FREE sign around their neck and they'd still be there the next day.

Thing is, there were more than a few years not too long ago where the gift of the absolutely under appreciated elite players we had hid the excessively mediocre roster that we had otherwise......now it is right out in the open, this is a team full of the exact same type of no frills NHL player. Sure it works when you have enough real true standouts, but this roster......no frills.

Only hope is wc2 spot Ottawa has taken control of wc1.
You finally joined the rest of us in reality?

Ottawa's only 2 points up but they have 2 games in hand. The real problem however is this;

Every team in that picture outside of Philly has a significant # of games in hand. Even the Islanders are theoretically still in it given they have 4 games on the Bruins.
