IIRC, last year they played their final 12 games 3-7-2. Game 70 this year was in Calgary. Since then 0-4-0, barring a miracle tonight.

The slicing of the blame pie should be interesting with Clode out of the picture.
It's management for not going full rebuild, but also it's on the players too. I mean if choke epically like this 3 years in a row then there is something wrong somewhere with these players.

Marchand has been feisty this game even for him
I agree... he's fighting for the season. Too bad it's not enough.

On Krejci/Rask, sure they can get something... but they already have volume of prospects. Not sure a few mid rounds draft picks are gonna be that helpful.

I'm looking forward to seeing whom Cam and Donnie dump this shitburger on. Do they toss more dirt on Clode's grave? Is Cassidy shown the door, or do they keep him as scapegoat insurance?

They should seriously consider tanking much earlier in the season next year. The way they have been doing it hasn't been nearly effective enough.

They just don't know what they're doing. They're running around, they're making bad decisions, they've got no rhythm.

The defensemen are struggling to figure out when to jump up and when to be cautious. The middle six forwards have disappeared in all three zones.

I really do think this year's team has more talent and more experience than last year's team. It took about 10 games for opponents to figure out how to counter the changes Cassidy made -- put big bodies on the speed players, clog the neutral zone, look for offense in transition before the Bruins can get back and set up in the defensive zone.

They're a frustrated, confused team.

I'm not claiming you're going to get a superstar back for them, but teams will come calling and will take them and will give you prospects and/or picks.

Especially with Vegas needing some guys.
Yep, still delusional
