I respect the Boston Bruins, they have always been committed to having a strong management team and always ice solid teams.

They know how to draft, they know how to develop.

A lot of it is luck to be honest. They also went 30 odd years without a cup. And I’ve always detested their management team. They got forced into committing to skill and would have continued the truculent path unabated.

When was the last time the refs just stopped play while the other team has the puck in our zone and one of our guys got injured?

They are number 1 points in the regular season since 1980 with 3937 points. The number 2 (Caps) has 3762 points almost 200 points behind (probably 200 after this season). They are 3rd in playoffs win since 1980 behind Pens and Detroit. They are first in games played during playoffs since 1980.

They have been very well managed for a long time. They sell when it's time. They draft well. They are quick to rebuild by far the best at retooling in the NHL. They have done bad trades but the philosophy of their management help alleviate them. They needed to replace Bergeron. Most teams would have tried a washed up vet resurrected from the dead on a 1 millions contract. They ice a 19 years old kid. They know how it works.

Man, Toronto media and fans losing it today after a Marchand slewfoot (which was not called) and then the Leafs decided to Leaf and not even remotely defend their teammate. That organization still can't get its shit together lol.

Matthews had those back to back hattricks to start the season and then had one goal in his next 7 games.

As I write this he just scored and likely will get credit for marners goal

Hate to say it but they are at or near the top of the league as an organization. Players leave and they plug new ones intp the lineup and keep rolling. They have a winning culture that's for sure.

I will say that it's absolutely disgusting that the Hawks only get a fine for covering up a sexual assault that also led to the sexual assault of a minor ruining both of their lives yet the Sens lose a 1st rounder for not giving a team a player's NTC list. Embarrassing. I do love seeing Ottawa getting dicked though, it always puts a smile to my face.

Apples and oranges. As disturbing as the Chicago story is, it didn't affect other organizations.

Ottawa's negligence directly affected Las Vegas, and the league can't show that such negligence would just be swept under a rug.... Especially in a world where some teams are hugging so close to the cap.

1st is fine for the Sens. At the end of the day, the punishment for the Hawks is embarrassing... Makes you wonder what they punishment would have been if it was a Canadian team.
