Post-Game Talk: GAME 60 - Fishsticks 2 BRUINS 1 - Losing streak now at 5

[Bruinaura]

The response to the email STH's got this week will be the biggest factor

I suspect @Ladyfan got out the bat after reading that email

Yup he is small ,but if deal is to Edm you dont got much choice outside him or 1st which would be a must.The 1st would need to be 2026 or 27 also, because they don't have a 2025 1st.That makes the pick more valuable though because the Oilers are good this season.The 27 pick might be best bet.That said I doubt Sweeney trades him.We shall find out soon though .

Fair but I want him traded to Vegas so he can spend the rest of the year talking Eichel into coming "home" in 2027. I don't think it's "tampering" if players talk to each other

Can you imagine Marchand-Eichel-Pasternak as a line...............................

 

[Gordoff]

"Pretty games." Never heard those two words put together to describe a hockey game. Marchy should get a 5 minute major for that.

Guy is under stress, probably meant "we had two pretty good games" My best guess.

Brazeau has done jack-shit for quite a while. WTF happened with him. Did he forget how to play hockey? Just along for the ride I guess!!?

This Bruins roster is about as confusing as episode 1 of Severance

Fantastic show.

Maybe the Bruins are just apart of it all.

 

[Dr Quincy]

None. The front office has received the message. They will sell. Whether they do a good job of it is a different question.

The problem is, what is there to sell?

What does an injured UFA-to-be Frederic return?
What does Coyle fetch?
They refuse to sell Marchand.
Is it worth trading Wotherspoon or Peake for a 3rd or 4th rounder?

That pretty much leaves Carlo.

Perhaps he was a 26 year old career minor leaguer for a reason.

So lets stop talking about opposing goalies playing better.

When the company you keep is Preds, Sharks, Ducks, and Blackhawks . . .it's time to look in the mirror at the true issue - team can't put the puck in the net

At least we did not get another loser point. At this point just trade anyone except Pasta and McAvoy, get the best returns possible and tank the season. I am hoping we somehow find a way to move up the lottery and get Misa.

Not a lot, it must be said. Frederic's injury is horribly timed. Whether he is completely out of the picture depends on exactly what the prognosis is, but whatever it is it likely means his immediate value takes a hit. That just leaves Coyle and Carlo as players that should obviously be on the market and will still attract reasonable interest, even in down years. Peak Carlo is still worth a 1st at only 28 years old and on a good contract for 2 more years, but is there still enough belief in him out there to merit it, especially given his concussion history? A 2nd plus a little on the side might have to do. I don't think Marchand's future is set in stone yet but it still seems that moving him is unlikely. Geekie I'd keep unless the return is exceptional. Same goes for Poitras and Lohrei.

But they can only work with they have.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

I've gotta better chance of winning the lottery than the B's getting a 1st rounder for either Carlo or Frederic.
You do realize other teams have scouts who are probably not as inept as the B's scouts.

There are 11\12 teams WORSE THAN BOSTON. So no they are far from worse Mtg group. Most if them are no better than Sweeney and his scouts

With this season in the virtual write-off category, the Bruins concluded a very successful homestand if one is looking for a quicker turnaround .

They played 3 close competitive games for their home fans and thankfully only secured 2 pts.

With 14 away and 8 home games left on the schedule, the Bruins are well positioned to move into the lottery position of this year's draft.

Was thinking Korpi would get the start tonight, especially after Swayman vs Toronto. Sway made a couple solid saves late to keep them in it but we didn’t get the timely one when we needed it and the game went the other way. I think Marchand has way better jump since 4 nations. Moving better, hanging on to pucks, creating/extending more plays and showing flashes of his former self. 2 good starts by this team the last couple of games but we can never get that full 60 minute effort. Brazeau reminded me of a men’s league player that gassed a 6 pack in 2 hours before an 11pm puck drop - touch and timing off like you read about. That Wotherspoon bad turnover immediately following the pasta goal was scary and he’s a liability with the puck in the d zone sometimes.

Was surprised to see Korpi did not start. Sway made some nice stops, but as you said, didn’t make the ones we needed. I don’t know how you put a guy in who gave up 4 in the previous game against an arguably lesser team when you have a serviceable backup.
