Minnesota come back to win it down 3-1 in the 3rd against Detroit in overtime.

Still picked up a point but not bad for the bruins
Hopefully the B's come out fired up and ready to make a run and gain some ground in the standings.
I'm not holding my breath, though.
 
The only two reasons the Bruins might make the playoffs is 1. David Pastrnak & 2. The East is so bloody mid this year its not even funny. Detroit blew a 3-1 lead with 7 minutes to go in the third & New York is down 5-0 to Buffalo after 1 period.

Yeah this isn't a playoff team, see what you can get during the TDL and look to next year. I'd rather they change the coaches sooner than later too so they can start implementing systems.

Today Games with implications for the Bruins:
Playoff spot/Draft standings:
Dal vs CBJ
Car vs Mtl
Pit vs Phi
NYR vs NYI
Det vs Min
Draft pick currently #14 going into today's game per Sportsnet
 
Ideally we pick somewhere top 10. Any of the obvious choices (Hagens, Misa, and Schafer) would be great but also would be excited about Desnoyers, Bear, O'Brien, or McQueen.
 
The numbers just don't work especially with the California trip still to come.

Look at the league standings that determine the draft order the B's can easily drop down.


Charlie will give Cam and Don a chance to right the ship this summer and we will see a new coach from outside the Bruins system.

I fear it might be too late.

It’s too late, but this is a funny league sometimes.

I’m a broken record, but them venturing down the same path as the Penguins scares me.

In a 32 team league, half the teams miss the playoffs. You do have teams like the Capitals and Devils that dip for a year and then make it back, but you’ve also got teams like the Blackhawks and Penguins with no light at the end of the tunnel.

They held on past the expiration date and then had to dip into free agency to address the holes in the roster.

It hasn’t worked so far. My fear is that there’s something rotten at the core.

Guess we’ll find out.
 
If they do something stupid like trading Geekie, that will affect Pasta's play..The 2 Czechs are used to Geekie and this could be a top6 line for years to come if we resign Zacha...Would you trade Geekie or resign him?? He should score 20 after a horrible start so what would a multi yr contract look like, what would be fair to both parties??
Seems to this poster Geekie is on the up and I would love to see him signed similar to Zacha, 4 yrs at 4.5 a season..You good folks think thats a fair and reasonable deal??
Providence has 3 players that are hot in Lysell, Merkulov and Farincinni[sp..Tha latter after a poor start has 20 pts past 20 games..Yes, really poor start but on fire of late..Yet Sweeney keeps playing Oliver Wahlstrom..He went 20+ games without a goal for Isles when they put him on waivers..Since coming to Boston, he has just 1 goal 1 assist in 15 games and even though he playes light minutes, still a -6...While our so called rookies in Prov seem to be ignored, HOW can you place a value on players the team know very little about because they have no nhl experience...Farincinni drafted 2019[Yotes], Lysell 1st rd in 2021 and Merkulov is already 25..Will they EVER play for Bruins?? EVER>>I'm friggin tired of waiting and you cant trade either when you dont know how good or bad they are..DO NOT get me going about Dipietro or even Bussi..Instead we do Ottawa a HUGE favor by picking up 75% of Korpiselo's contract to play 20 games a season...We already have 2 that can do that and we had them when Donny made that Ullmark trade..Sorry, I'm completely lost and have no idea what Sweeney is doing to our prospects..I mean HOW can they play with confidence knowing they wont get a call up no matter how good of a weekend they have!! Rant over, hope all have a super weekend and stay safe friends!!
After last night's gem, Wahlstrom should be put on waivers in favor of one of the Providence guys. Taking a penalty while on the PP. Woof!
