Bruins Vs St Louis
- Thread starter Salem's Lot
- Start date
Goalie Bob can't work miracles. Trading Ullmark and getting this fucking guy back is the worst move the Bruins have made in a very, very long time.
This is just not a good team. Period. I don't care if Brodeur is in net - they are just not good.
$11.25 million on the cap for awful goaltending. They should clean out the front office just for that.
Seriously though, this team creates zero offense, is shit defensively, and soft as fuck along the wall. Seriously, do they ever win a puck?
What the fuck is Osterly doing out there in a 3 on 3? Is he serious with that?
They need to rebuild but they can’t do it with Neely & Sweeney and the $100 million in shit contracts they handed out over the summer.
Yeah, I try not to judge trades when they happen, but that one made no sense with Korp on that contract.
Now is probably not the time to point out that Korpisalo and Anton Forsberg have both outplayed Swayman and Ullmark, yeah?
It can’t be stated enough how bad the fucking Blues suck. They’re also missing their best forward and 4 defenseman. And the only reason they didn’t blow out the Bruins on the road is because the got a lot of post/puck luck. This is after getting embarrassed the other night. Firing the coach isn’t enough, but they gotta do something.
That’s the killer. They gave Swayman that contract and he’s sucked. They paid Elias Lindholm, he shows up out of shape, immediately gets hurt, and can’t do anything offensively. Zadorov is as advertised, big hits, but dumb and slow.
He’s gone Tuesday. That’s the logical time to do it with two days off between the Columbus and Utah games.
Please let this end. They’ve been figured out for the better part of a year without any visible change in their system: breakouts, dump ins, arguably most glaringly the PP sucks ass. Thanks for the presidents trophy Monty please leave
The B's being at .500 is deceiving. In the NHL only the Pens, Habs and Sharks have a worse differential (we are at -17) and they are all 4 to 5 games below .500. This is a very bad team right now and lucky to be at .500. it screams changes are needed -- before its too late. We are almost 20 games into the season.
If they still are doing analytics, the numbers must be screaming that they need a change. These guys are more talented than they’re showing now, I’m sorry. They just don’t believe in the system anymore.
I'm (obviously) in favor of any kind of shake up at this point. Do you think Sullivan would be the right move?
He is an emotional guy and would demand attention from the troops so yes. But the players tuned Cassidy out.
Different group though. The only reason why I wouldn’t hire Sullivan is because he’s Charlie McAvoy’s father in law. That’s just asking for problems in the room.
How much of it was the players tuning him out vs. guys like DeBrusk and Krejci not getting along with him and his style?
The rest of the players probably lined up behind Jake And Krejci. I get the McAvoy issue but Mike did win 2 Stanley Cups so there's that. And yes he had 2 superstars.

Well yes, it could lead to problems. Charlie is seen as the favorite "son" which leads to tribalism within the locker room, strife, conflict and chaos. Then it could lead to Mike and Charlie also being at odds, which leads to Charlie wanting a trade and then the inevitable divorce from his wife. On the other hand maybe Charlie becomes Mike's voice of emotion which leads to the others being motivated, the actualization of their talent, and a Stanley Cup! In which case everyone is happy. Until, of course, the next year when Charlie and Mike have a falling out, which leads to his divorce and then trade.
I am just kidding! Or am I?
I fully expect to be booed out of here but we need a coach who wants a simple style; in our own zone, up the boards or around the boards. Gain the center ice line and dump it in. Get the D on their heels and pound them. Find the open guy. Don Cherry 2.0. We don't have the talent to do otherwise. We can't stay onside or not turn it over.
