Koepke-Kastelic-Beecher turning into prime Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak to start this season just proves that the Bruins culture is elite
Well sure - because 10 games of mediocre hockey to start this season obviously dictates just how poorly the team will perform over the next 10 seasons.After getting blanked out by the Flyers of all teams, it's becoming more and more profound that the Bruins will be steering head first towards a SOLID decade of mediocrity for the foreseeable future.
You know what I meant. Lindholm-Coyle and Zacha are not elite centre material and Marchand's battling injuries, regression and age at this point. There's only so much Pastrnak, McAvoy and Swayman can do before the wheels completely fall off. The B's are destined for mediocrity once Bradley retires and Pastrnak has no other solid option besides himself on offense.Well sure - because 10 games of mediocre hockey to start this season obviously dictates just how poorly the team will perform over the next 10 seasons.
2023 has to be the one THAT stings the most though. It seemed like a playoff sweep was about to happenThey were supposed to take a step backwards last year and humongously overachieved, even winning a playoff round. Now we pay for it. This team had a mostly good run over the last 15 years. You appreciate the 2011 run but really lament those times getting so close in 2019 and 2013 and not finishing the job. It really is the hardest trophy of all to win.
2019 makes me sad, 2023 makes me angry2023 has to be the one THAT stings the most though. It seemed like a playoff sweep was about to happen
The Bruins are destined for mediocrity because a 60pt player is declining?You know what I meant.

They understand how to injure valuable players and making those players ineffective.
Case in point: Marchand slewfooting/tripping my boy Timothy Liljegren into the boards and nearly ending his career. No wonder Liljegren did not play well in the playoffs if guys like Marchand take out your ankles.
Relax - he's been your " boy " for about 4 hours now.Case in point: Marchand slewfooting/tripping my boy Timothy Liljegren into the boards and nearly ending his career.

So you're saying that Boston can't draft or trade for anybody over the next 10 seasons that can help them be a top team again. You really should start picking lottery numbers with that kind of insight into the future.You know what I meant.
