BRUINS GDT GAME 60 7:08 PM Fishsticks Ahoy - NESN, ESPN+, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[Sheppy]

What are the odds on Carlo scoring?

+250 he scores on his own net.

 

[Grimey]

Palmieri, Pageau , Vanek, Holtby.

Bruin killers

You can add Sweeney to that list, too.

 

[The don godfather]

Put korpi in to rally the troops.

 

[UncleRico]

2 goals on 8 shots.

Hey if you flip the numbers it matches his yearly salary! Sick!

Not going to save many shots when you let palmieri freely skate to the front of the net and take a shot

 

[Bridges31]

What are the odds on Carlo scoring?

I have a better chance of hitting a handpay at Encore Sunday.

 

[FRyan4426]

Excluding Pasta obviously here. But this teams ability to either miss the net or shoot directly into the logo is actually impressive.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

That’s the hang up.

If you’re drafting the guy (and you probably have to take multiple shots to connect) then it’s going to take years for him to develop into form.

So what are you accomplishing over the next 2-3 years with McAvoy, Pastrnak, Swayman, and the two Lindholms?

It’s a friggin dead end from a team building standpoint.

Oof, the most depressing part is, is that you're correct.

But! Can always get lucky wherever, never know.

 

[BMC]

Palmieri, Pageau , Vanek, Holtby.

Bruin killers

Pominville too

 

[Bridges31]

+250 he scores on his own net.

I’d throw $100 on that easily.

 

[Cam14b]

Bad combo, lack of offensive skills and an overpaid goalie...

 

[Guelph Bruin]

The curse of no Jack ...good luck charm gone....but on the flip side we're heading up the draft lottery ladder

 

[smithformeragent]

That is sadly the easiest and only likely answer to the question.

First line centers are like a franchise QB. You don't find them on the market because they never go to market. Teams know damn well what they're worth and how hard it is to find one.

Montreal spent the better part of 15 years trying to find one after Koivu, teams like the Jackets and Wild have arguably never had one in their 25 year history. Shit's hard.

Savard and Chara fell into their laps.

It was the early days of the salary cap and teams have figured out how to navigate those types of situations, either locking the guy up or dealing him a year before he hits UFA status.

That, and Savard did have warts when they signed him.

But you ain’t signing a Marc Savard in July these days.

 

[BB79]

Outshooting them 21-8 yet losing 2-0. Must be shit shot quality I'm guessing

 

[JayMark]

I'm done watching this garbage. Trade everyone not wearing #88.

 

[22Brad Park]

Don Sweeney is going to bury this franchise next 10 years

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Had commented on a post on the standings watch about the Bruins having the easiest schedule for Wild Card spots,again I ask what team is considered an easy opponent for the Bruins.

 

[Bridges31]

I'm done watching this garbage. Trade everyone not wearing #88.

Trade everyone. Even 88 has a price. All offers for all players should be entertained.

 

[Absurdity]

So what is it?

Is it simply a lack of talent?

Guys underachieving?

Lack of leadership?

Coaching and conditioning. Lot of guys still skating flat-footed 1-step behind the play, and there isn't enough movement in the offensive zone 5on5 and 5on4 to open up seams. On defense, they just go through the motions. They aren't physical and decide to poke-check instead, but every time they poke-check it isn't with any purpose and feels more like just going through the motions like they are perpetually playing on the PK.

 

[NeelyOrr]

Why do we watch this shit? lol

Team is a laughing stock.

I very seldom laugh when watching the B's. Similar to when I would watch Gilligan's Island.

 

[BruinsFan37]

I don’t know how you get one.

There isn’t one available in free agency over the summer.

And you don’t have the trade chips to acquire one.

So what’s the alternative? Deal one of your core pieces? Take a step or two back to take steps forward long term?

Not sure what choice you have.

(Not that that's likely to happen)

 

[HumBucker]

[BergyWho37]

Sorokin channeling Hasek

Nope he’s just facing the Bruins. Muffin shooters

 

[22Brad Park]

This is the best one yet

 

[Blitzkrug]

Savard and Tavares are the only two guys i can recall in the last 20 years or so of that caliber getting to the market.

2 guys in 20 years. Doesn't bode well for the Bruins.

 

[lextune]

Hate to state the obvious, but this is one of the worst seasons in many years.
