Speculation: What Went Wrong?

Coyle and Carlo are the guys who should be wearing an A.

I like David and Charlie a lot, but they are not leaders in the truest sense.

As noted by some in the media, this roster also has little in the way of veteran leadership. Veterans who have been around that command respect.

You can't put it all on Brad's shoulders, especially in a season when nearly everything that can go wrong has, in spades.

Get off Marchy's back.

The blame in this instance, like most of what ailes this "team," belongs at SweeNeely's feet.

Wrong about Pasta being a leader. He is

As an outsider, this regression was expected. It was now or never in 2022/23 and sadly it didn´t work out. The only question is do you go for a full rebuild and write off next few seasons?

0.0 they are doing a full rebuild

They could do a retool and still be a top 4 team next season

We agreed to disagree.

As noted previously, David is great in the room as far as I know, and leads through his playmaking and production.

He is not one for speechifying or taking others to task.

There's nothing wrong with that.

I'm just saying he's not Zdeno or Patrice.

He's David, and that's fine.

agreed, if done right, my confidence the blokes running the show can do this though....not sky high

Always felt he got shafted after taking a truly awful Oilers team that was .307 in pts. % after 31 games (7-19-5) to a somewhat respectable .422 in his 51 games behind the bench (17-25-9). Oilers wanted that experienced brand-name coach and turned to Todd McLennan.

So did Detroit!

I don't think a player (or agent) should need to apologize for trying to get the best deal possible.



The problem is right now Sweeney is in no position to make any moves. Not exactly brimming with assets at the moment.

I don't care what position he is in.He has to trade the UFAs if not signed.Anything is better then nothing.Don't want people giving me this crap about it's like a deadline trade either.

We were talking about significant trades, not UFA trades for whatever they can get.

NHL is a big boys club.Heck all major sports are .They all regurgitatate coaches. Team A fires coach, then team B hires him.Meanwhile team A hires a coach team C fired.Job for life if you don't break any absolutes .Somebody will hire you eventually doing something.

True.

I am all for hiring experienced AHL coaches. I am less enthusiastic about bringing in the latest flavor of the month from the college ranks.

Whoever coaches the Bruins going forward should have a strong resume with an emphasis on defense first.
