How to not make the playoffs and not get a top 10 pick three years in a row

Written by Cam Neely - the constant variable in this equation

 

[Coach Parker]

Both.

This year? Gabriel Landeskog and Kevin Shattenkirk if playoffs were the goal.

Prices too high. I get it and heard it for years now.

But NOW we see why they need to be addressed two nights in a row. You cannot blame the coaches when you give them a non-playoff roster and expect them to make the playoffs.

This is what a re-tool NOT a rebuild looks like; keeping all your prospects and hoping your flawed team squeaks into the playoffs when the going gets tough.

The last two years when the going got tough, the Bruins choked. Three game losing streak currently in progress.

Still think we get in.
Home games will help.

Isles and tampa suck more than us

I really really hate to be a downer but our prospect pool is incredibly overrated. Most are 2-3 years away anyway.

3 full years of the ends of Bergeron/Krejci's primes wasted for nothing.

And stop talking about collapses. This team hasn't collapsed, they just aren't very good. Major difference.

I'm not sure being overrated and 2 to 3 years away is the same thing. I don't think they're overrated they have some real skill in the system but I also think next season Mari be very frustrating if the kids are asked to come in on white horses and save the day.

 

[Coach Parker]

Thank you Arizona!

Sad, that for the third year the Bruins are going to go from being in control of their destiny to scoreboard watching really quickly here.

 

[Fenway]

Nice own goal by Tampa - They are done

 

[McBrom7]

We're blaming Rask for this loss again?

We had all 3 forwards chasing the puck on the D to D pass that resulted in a high slot tip for the GWG.

He stopped Hoffman on a uncovered redirect on a 4 on 2 and a straight up shot from the slot from I forget who. Both in the third period.

Rask was not the problem tonight. The amount of passengers on this team is the problem.

Man the collective amounts of mad on this board is really something. Weirdly since I never expected good things I'm somehow not mad. I think this was in a pure free-roll situation. Happy with playoffs, but not mad without because I just didn't think we were good enough this year.

When you have an aging core it's not a free roll. It's complete waste. Picking 14 does nothing.

Moore need to watch some games in the crowd
Big heart but 2 games in a row bad penalty
The guy is useless , please don't sign him again, time for young players

I call it a collapse Choking games away on home ice down the stretch

Thank you Arizona !!!

 

[DitClapper]

Not really seeing how Rask was a problem tonight. And I'm a critic. They need more production from anyone not named Pastrnak and Marchand. Krug even too.

The Bruins need much more from Bergeron. Much much more.

Yep and they can't beat Ottawa anyway so not much sense finishing in third.

 

[since76]

Cassidy or someone else we need a coach who will be obsessed with young players, speed for begining of next season
Nhl 2017 belong to young and fast players
Sooooooo many dead wood

Two teams have to pass them. Tampa losing helps. I think 94 gets them in. Margin of error the rest of the way is 6 pts.

That was a weak call.
beleskey shoukd be swapped for cehlarik

The last two games I've seen a bruins team playing teams that are faster more skilled and more physical.

Again, going from fighting for home ice and #2 seed in the Atlantic to fighting for a chance to play against the Capitals in the first round.

 

[Fenway]

Some good news

Landeskog would have cost a boat load and Shattenkirk will be a Ranger in three months. No thanks.

I agree with what you're saying about these two holes but the solution is not that simple.
