Can’t really get upset over the losses anymore, they just aren’t that good plus decimated on the blue line. Frederic less than 13 minutes, 5 hits though.

Hoping the loser point isn’t going to create an illusion they still have a chance. Have to think the bigger decisions will come after Thursdays game before they hit the road

They are definitely showcasing TF, and of course, he is destroying his already moderate value.
 
The two weeks off seemed to hurt Boston more than the Ducks. First period Bruins were dominated.

Rangers, Oilers and Pens never got their games going. Canes gave up 4 in the first before they got going.

As @Aussie Bruin said in the GDT, Wotherspoon played hard. He was really pissed off at someone (on the Ducks) ...not sure who.

I hope a few "fans" got arrested and fined last night for throwing beer cans (some full). They could have/ may have hit someone. @GahdenRinkRat and I got beer on us but no cans. The crowd was awful last night.

One asshole behind us was swearing at the heads of security. He disappeared pretty quickly.

The heads of security are twin brothers (Jack and Jim McCorkle) . I wouldn't mess with them. They are always nice to us though.

If you are going to showcase Freddie, fine but give him some linemates that might help his value, that whole third line was disgusting even for a AHL team.
 
The mistakes and self-inflicted mistakes/unforced errors all season long. Up and down the lineup.

Rather baffling.

I mean thats Brad and Coyle in OT not at all on the same page, not trusting one another . . .

Can understand to a point Mason L stepping up, but D could do that with Bergy and DK because of their 6th sense.

There just isn't any intelligent play, which can certainly mitigate, to an extent the talent gap. But 4 on 4, 5 on 5, PP, PK . . .they are all bad.

I always want them to win ,always want them to make the playoffs,but I just don’t know ,I think I”m finally at a point where they just are better off losing and getting a lottery pick. Which is really making it difficult to watch them play.Atleast they play the Leafs next ,don’t want nothing but a win in that one. Have I become a non loyal fan or just a realist?
 
What an incredibly poor product we had to watch last night. After the 4 Nations it was a total buzz kill and realty check. The whole roster has been turned into a mishmash bunch of garbage. Hopefully the idiot (idiots) responsible for this will soon be held accountable.

You’re being realistic. Sadly, a lottery pick would be wasted on some stupid reach of a pick by the smartest man in the room.

Injuries aside this team seems to have a lot of going through the motions to it. That being said that d corps was pretty bad added to the fact the forwards aren’t that skilled overall
 
I like the idea of trading anyone who is a bad culture fit too. Don't really care who.

Dom said before there were Bruins who are known to not be looking to improve their game, and do the minimum effort-wise. I deal them first.
 
Took a 5 on 3 to get a goal on the 27th ranked PK team. Ya they're going to go somewhere in the Playoffs.
Strategically the best thing to do is LTIR Lindholm and McAvoy and crater their season and then sell off pieces including Marchand (resigning him in summer) to garner an additional #1 pick in '26 preferably.

What's the CBA say about LTIR and playing in the World's? If the CBA states teams can block a rehabbing player that would prevent Hampus Lindholm from playing for Sweden trying to make Olympics and getting injured again.

I would have to think Sweeney would be gone if that were to happen wouldn’t you?

From what I have seen you are a loyal fan which is more than I can say for some. We all have been pretty spoiled the last 10 years with decent teams. This season has been disappointing.

I always want a win, but clearly, they need help. Everything needs to be looked at. I shake my head at some of the coaching decisions and from where I sit (after last night) so do some of the players. Clearly, they need some help with players. The mix isn't working.

Many here were so excited about E. Lindholm. He isn't working out like some hoped (probably including Don Sweeny), but many here were so psyched to have him. I still think that MAYBE he will get better.

The chemistry on the team is off. It seems like years where it was so good.

Brad is an excellent captain. Pasta is a leader as are Mac and Charlie C. After them I don't notice much leadership which is different that the past where there are several leaders that don't have letters.

Too many good 3d and 4th line players...not enough top ones.

The D has been a concern all season. It has been many years since the Bs PK was as bad as I have seen it this season.

I will always cheer on this team. I hope something can be done.

Please beat the Leafs.
 
I don’t care about the East and the utterly mediocre standings/teams.

If Sweeney does anything that is not aimed at improving this team for the future (not squeaking in for the inevitable 1st round loss this season) I will call for officials to do a mental health and welfare call on him.
