Watching our games and seeing their terrible play from game 1?

These guys are supposed to be part of the "leadership core / Bruins culture" and all that and one is playing for his first UFA deal. I'd take guys from Providence over them they've been that bad. Has to have something to do with their off season conditioning or lack there of.

So terrible play = taking the summer off? OK then.

To me one of the most shocking things is how bad the PK has been. It feels like for years (no matter what else is going on) the PK has been excellent.

Maybe it is just my perception but not having a good PK is so anti Bruins.

I looked at past season stats and ironically the last time the Bruins completed a season outside of the top 10 in penalty killing was the 2018-2019 season when they finished with a 79.9%. (16th)

To me is the entire play of this defence group that is shocking how bad they re this year, and we ve got a new D coach, is it the change?
 
The master plan by Donny boy is almost complete.

No other GM has ever won the Stanley Cup with the roster full of 3rd and 4th liners and bottom pairs. He just needs to ship out Pasta and McAvoy for some washed up role players (Stempniak Stafford, Maroon, Beleskey, Hathaway or Mike Reilly type) and conditional 5th round picks, healthy scratch indefinitely Hampus Lindholm, let Marchand to retire and we are all in!!! :D:D:D

At the deadline, they should explore trading Coyle, Frederic, E. Lindholm, Zacha, Carlo, and H. Lindholm
Will get the most for them at the deadline, and maybe I'm wrong, but some of those may get teams in a bidding war and up their value. While most are not performing this year, some of them have had very good years, and a GM maybe willing to overpay hoping to get that good player.

Elias Lindholm is un-tradable unless you eat 50% of the cap hit and add something of real value like a first round pick.
