And McDavid would end the season with 3 goals, what an overpayment.If the season ended today they'd be out of the playoffs.
Hypothetical scenarios based on small sample sizes are fun.

It will not take long for the season to slip away. The way the team is playing it does not look like they will get in sync anytime soon.3-3-1. 2 pts out of first and people are acting like the season is over
Mine was sorted by win percent, to take away the advantage of 'more games played.' In leagues where teams play an uneven number of games, they use win% not total points to determine standings.Strange, NHL app shows them being WC2View attachment 920512
But moot because the season is more than 7 games long..and Carolina has only played 5 games to everyone else's 7-8 games so they'd probably bump us just as well
Yep, better to stick our heads in the sands and pretend everything is fine.And McDavid would end the season with 3 goals, what an overpayment.

maybe someone with more inside info than this couch potato can answer this. I always thought it was often the vet players themselves who dictated how often they will play in preseason? Understanding of course the coach and upper management might want a longer look at certain players too?
They need to realize that they aren’t a fancy team. They only have one good line. Right now it’s the forth line. They need to play a defensive structure until they can get some games under them. I can’t believe I’m saying this but they need some Clode here.
Been some really v crazy plays by a lot of players. Lohrei has coughed up the puck at least 3 times that have been literally Bantam level bad and last night #88 ad 2 breakaways that basically didn't require a save and he literally face planted on one.It isn't just that we may have some players slotted higher than they should be. Even if we say Coyle is a 3C and Frederic is a 3rd or 4th liner, for example, they should still be playing better than they are. Something is really off with the team. Whoever said a team that is returning this many players with the same coach was dead on that they shouldn't be this dysfunctional.
Brad still looks cooked and I feel like he hasn't been peak Brad for at least couple of seasons now. Age, wear and tear, persistent injury, whatever, and he still gets a LOT of attention from other teams. Okay, it happens, but WTF with Pastrnak? He has been hot garbage. Zacha? Coyle, Frederic, Geekie, Poitras, Brazeau? What's the deal with those guys playing like they don't have a clue about where to be and what to do.
E. Lindholm has been okay- it's hard to tell sometimes because his linemates have been shit, but he at least has the excuse of being a new guy.
Passes to nowhere, losing the majority of puck battles, failed zone exits, neutral zone turnovers, d men getting lost in coverage, a powerless play and on and on. I mean it's been tough to watch out there, even with a few wins. I'll ask again, what the hell is going on?
Still adjusting I think. Lindholms made some plays here and there but hasn't really found chemistry with the top line yet but does a lot of things away from the puck well and is a lot more physical than I expected him to be.How has Lindholm and Zadorov been thus far if I may ask?
When I saw the photo of him walking in I was thinking there’s a guy who doesn’t plan on taking a shower after and going to get a jump on the nightlife afterAgree. I was surprised Sway started this one. At the very least we could have blamed the loss on Korpse and simply moved on from it to face Dallas with Sway. I wonder what Jay Leach would have done?
None of that matters bruins are a top 5 team overall they are 3-3-1 not 0-7. Marchand swayman Lindholm poitras all missed most of camp alot of new faces. Takes time to gel they will be fine you will see this is a very good teamDo you realize how much of an impact having a pair of top 3 players in the world offsets holes in other areas?
McDavid - 408pts
Draisaitl - 344pts
Pastrnak - 300pts
McDavid & Draisaitl rank #1 & #2 in production over the last 3 seasons among ALL players. Draisaitl has as many goals as Pastrnak does and McDavid has 8 less goals than Pastrnak. Is Skinner as good as Swayman? I wouldn't say so but he's not a bum either.
Skinner - 122GP / 71 W / 2.67 GAA / .910 SV% / 4 SO
Swayman - 122GP / 72 W / 2.41 GAA / .916 SV% / 10 SO
Skinner over the last 3 years among goalies with at least 80gp ranks
Wins - 18th
GAA - 11th

Are you not watching the on ice product in those games compared to the B's? It's not them winning or losing it's a complete ineptitude from lines 1-3 and the entire D corps to play any type of system. Chemistry is a fun excuse but these are professionals that are still good hockey players, why can no one complete a pass or win a foot race?Toronto lost 6-2 in Columbus they are 4-3-0
Florida lost 5-2 to Minnesota they are 4-3-1
Boston lost 4-o to Nashville they are 3-3-1
Why is everyone acting like the season is over?
I don't see them reacting that way in Toronto or Florida
They would be 1-6 without Swayman and in contention for a top 5 pick. He's worth what he is getting paid
Currently 19th overall league wide based on points and 8th in the conference.Relax everyone we are basically the same as everyone else
People are reacting at their shit play, and they have every right to do that. This team is playing like ass. It's the fact that a 4th line is carrying the entire offense is the issue.Toronto lost 6-2 in Columbus they are 4-3-0
Florida lost 5-2 to Minnesota they are 4-3-1
Boston lost 4-o to Nashville they are 3-3-1

Bring Claude Julien back! He was able to get pretty good results regardless of the roster albeit, I don't know if the roster has even been this poor.
