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

[The don godfather]

Sacco has lost the room and there is no structure of this team it will take a miracle to turn this around . 13 goals against in 2 games.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

The Boston Bruins organization could get the 1st overall pick, have the chance to pick a McDavid like talent and the first thought that would cross their mind would be: “Is he from the area?”

"Can we trade this pick for an aging third line grinder?"

 

[NeelyOrr]

Hurts for me to say it but if someone offers a 1st for him maybe you gotta?

1st rounder for Marchy. I doubt it, but I'd take it in a NY minute.

 

[RedSlider]

They built a 2011 style team in 2025. Its so bloody painful watching teams skate circles around the Bruins.

 

[The don godfather]

I'm starting to believe that McAvoy 9.5 million aav could become the worst contract in the league . If he still has high value right now sell him now .

"Can we trade this pick for an aging third line grinder?"

"Don we know EXACTLY the player to pick, off the board. Gonna blow everyone's minds when he develops in 7 years"

Since New Year's Eve.....

5-8-2

-14 goal differential

4 regulation wins

12 out of 30 pts. for a pts. % of .400

To put that into context, there are only two teams with a pts. % worse than .400, Chicago and San Jose. Buffalo, who smoked the Bruins two nights ago, are 30th in pts. % and theirs is .430

I think the path is pretty clear. Any thoughts of moving draft picks out for immediate help is pure lunacy. They might be picking Top 5 in the draft if January is any indication of how the rest of the season plays out. Is there any reason to think that things will improve?

I don't trust that GM. Can feel panic move coming.

Steve Smith was pretty bad

Exactly there’s always worse and hey if you’re going to do it. Do it during the regular season and why not in a shitty season when your team should sell anyways. Maybe that’s all they need to get them going.

 

[mar2kbos]

Marchand sounds completely defeated

He sounds like he is having no fun at all. Think the captain thing may be weighing a bit to heavy on him. Like he thinks he is the reason they are a bad team, or this team got bad under his leadership. Really isnt his fault, but its hard to convince someone to believe that.

 

[FONZIE]

Lindholm has been picking up lately. Still time for to salvage his point totals.

No way, he's so far gone for his salary. Call me crazy, but I'm OK with Zads. Sure he's underwater when comparing his salary to his stats, but he's one of the few showing any heart/emotion on this team. There is way more money mis-spent elsewhere on this roster.

 

[TCB]

Unless it's EP 40, I am not interested .

Quinn Hughes ?

Yea but that team had some skill. This team can barely squeeze 2 goals a game. Very sad to see.

 

[BadBruins]

Trade McAvoy and Frederic and get a scoring center.

Honestly, I think it's a dumb premise to identify and trade a 26/27 year old defenseman who's basically been your #1 D since he stepped on to the ice at 19. Garnered Norris votes etc. A period where the team has seen quite a bit of success. Said the same thing about Pastrnak when he was taking an enormous amount of heat early in the season. We know these players can be upper-tier players on a good-great team. It's the rest of the roster that is a concern.

I think the bigger issue is the overall construct of the team. They went all-in on the bigger, heavier, harder to play against formula. Instead, they ended up with a team that is bigger in size, but is somehow softer, less defensively aware, and struggles to compete on a nightly basis. Complete failure at the attempted response to the Florida Panthers. It actually reminds me of the Canadiens demise in response to the Bruins (which seems not so long ago).

I would start with the much too comfortable vets who are providing little to no value. ****ing sucks becaue guys like Coyle, Carlo, and Frederic have completely tanked their value from five months ago.

 

[bruins19]

JT Miller would have an absolute f***ing meltdown playing on this team….

Good. Might be what they need.

 

[bruinmann77]

First one sacco why isnt he gone tonight?

I still can’t believe the PP still here

 

[NeelyOrr]

Sacco has lost the room and there is no structure of this team it will take a miracle to turn this around . 13 goals against in 2 games.

Yeah, but 2 were empty netters. The B's have scored 4 goals in the last 2 games and none of theirs were empty netters.
What I'm trying to say is, uhm, let me get back to ya.

 

[22Brad Park]

Exactly there’s always worse and hey if you’re going to do, do it during the regular season and why not in a shitty season when your team should sell anyways. Maybe that’s all they need the get them going.

Lohrei cannot be doing that stuff though.That said, I have seen alot of improvement in his game overall.Just needs to know when to take chances .

 

[KrugAvoy]

He's thinking about increasing concession prices.

Oh you sweet summer child.

$18 beer in a hockey stick shaped cup!

 

[TCB]

1st rounder for Marchy. I doubt it, but I'd take it in a NY minute.

They’ll get that easy and then some

 

[bruinmann77]

The first round pick must stay with this team no reason to move it for a rental

 

[RoccoF14]

Good. Might be what they need.

Yeah, that'll work out well.

You won't get much for those 3. Those are some serious stock at all time low.

 

[22Brad Park]

Quinn Hughes ?

Well we know that is never happening

 

[TCB]

Well we know that is never happening

Rutherford did mention the possibility, but yea I agree not a chance

 

[NeelyOrr]

"We don't deserve this team."
Something that can be said by both bad fans and good fans.
