We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Carlo was the Bruin's punching bag by some on the Bruin's board.
If you look at his entire career you will see he is very capable 2nd pairing and Stepped up to 1st pairing when Mac was injured.
If anything he's under-rated

He’s fitting in like a glove. Good trade for sure and hard to get a guy like this at his age, size, shoots right and has playoff experience

Feels like Carlo fills the all situation length defending role Dubas and Keefe trusted Holl to play. He seems like he’s been brought up in a better defensive system and has more sense than Holl and doesn’t have that irrational confidence Holl had when he started feeling it offensively. He also closes the body in a way Holl never did dependably. Good and steady so far.
I agree, that’s why it is humorous. The Habs, Leafs and to lesser extent the Red Wings had the odds of success heavily slanted in their favor prior to 1967 and actually well beyond that as the protected players played (or traded, whatever) into the 1970’s.
For someone say 25 - 30 years of age or younger who has NEVER experienced winning it all and their fathers have likely NEVER experienced winning it all in their life to come out trashing other teams based on “heritage” is crazy.
At this point the elation of winning is simply a story someone’s dad tells them about what grandpa experienced. Sure, it’s part of your teams history but really don’t attempt trashing other teams fans by pointing out your team was good 60 years ago.
As a 60 something year old Chicago native I know the history well. It was my team (Blackhawks) who were owned by the Red Wings owner. Being used as a dumping ground. (Research Ted Lindsey’s exile when he came out pushing for a players union).
Note that after expansion things changed quickly Chicago became relevant (having decent years in the early 70’s (and what might have been had Phil Esposito not trashed the Wirtz family) but that’s what brought cups to Boston.
Dying to see an OEL - Carlo 2nd pairing. Rielly just doesn't have it this year and a Rielly - Benoit/Myers 3rd pairing should do well.
