Post-Game Talk: Wild 1 Bruins 0

[Hookslide]

I missed much of the game, but Swayman wasn't the reason for the loss if he allows only one goal

How did Coyle look? ..was he floating around all game, but accomplishing nothing?? ..again

People keep harping on Swayman's big contract (and rightfully so) and how he's not earning it ...but at least he does have the odd good game

What has Coyle done to earn his $5.25 mil/yr contract this season??

Well according to one fellow poster, if a player is not playing well the new criteria is he must be hurt.

Coyle is not signed for 7 more years.

How many 1 goal games have these lost this year? Must be approaching 20+?

The Bruins could have won all 4 games last week. They've now loss 6 out of their 7 (all one goal losses).

FREE Lysell!

Which teams are just dying to trade for someone on this year's Bruins? Takes two to tango.

Marchand would likely be the best asset traded after Rantanen.

Frederic up there as well and we can only hope other teams are "grass is always greener" for him.

Brazeau types, who knows. Late pick is better than nothing.

Coyle has had a bad year, no question. However, he had a career year last year, and I've NEVER questioned his work ethic. Results a problem, yes; work ethic, no. He just doesn't have the elite hands to score 30 goals. And yes, he's overpaid for his skill set.

How can Marchand & Frederic be best assets when they are both hurt?

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

I don't think anyone would blame Pasta if he did decide to ask out. His best years are being wasted. Anyone who doubts he wants to win hasn't been watching him put this team on his back all season long.

All season long?

Maybe all year (2025) long. Not all season long.

And there is the major issue. Sweeney indecisive if he ever truly considered trading them could be costly.

We can only hope both return soon enough to trade.

Thank God

Coyle looks very disinterested in playing hockey this year, and rarely displays any real effort or desire

..he's either dealing with an undisclosed injury all season ...or he's cooked

I'm leaning to the cooked theory

Coyle leads all Bruins in takeaways and has the best takeaway/giveaway differential on the team, by far. Still one of Boston's more physical forwards.

His skating looks like he's lost a small step, and he's always been better suited to playing in the middle. But effort and work ethic for him is a non-issue.

 

[Hookslide]

Thank God

Brillant answer, must have gone to school with Donnie boy.

Don't see this at all.
