The worst part is that we’ve kinda screwed ourselves from trades over the past few years. I really want Bergy to play one more season, but if he doesn’t, first of all congrats on an amazing career you’re a clear hall of famer Patrice. Two, we wouldn’t have two centers. Erik Haula had a great season but he doesn’t present much as a center and we never had any depth behind Bergeron. Along with failure to put Krejci and Pasta on the same line together cost us a Cup for sure. I still think the bruins can be competitive but it’s gonna be interesting and terrifying to see where the team, Bruce Cassidy, and Don Sweeney go from here.
I have nightmares sometimes that the NHL has Shoot-outs in the playoffs!!!😱
He's probably going to sign with the Habs….
Since winning 3 Game 7’s en route to the 2011 Stanley Cup, Bruins are 3-3 in Game 7’s since then, 3-0 against Toronto and 0-3 against Carolina, St. Louis & Montreal
Time to start the rebuild for Boston. They need to get some picks and stick their development roster as years of chasing a cup have massively depleted this. As for Bergeron, given his comments, I think he’ll retire unfortunately.
They should move the Bruins franchise to Quebec
Doesnt matter because Lightning are about to make history . No team has ever gone back to back to back in history since they installed the salary cap. Every pro sport should have a salary cap because it makes it, pardon the pun, a level playing field or in this case ice rink . For that very reason i dont follow MLB as close as other pro sports . .
Did I miss looking at the Kings after their 1st round loss?
All I got to say is fire Sweeney. He had his chance and killed our future. The rumor we sign him to an extension is so frustrating and we will be continue to be a mid tier team.
For Bergeron, I think he either retires or doesn’t. I can’t see him making his family move to another city for a year or two more of play. If he resigns, I could picture it being 2-yrs or less to hit 1000 pts and say his goodbyes.
If Bergy does stick around, with the long-term contracts we have left on McAvoy, Lindholm, etc., it may be a go-all-in situation for the cup. We are already in purgatory; a good, not great team with a barren farm system and almost no draft picks coming up. It’ll be a long painful rebuild regardless, might as well go for it and wipe away any future regrets during that rebuild process.
Maybe make a trade package involving DeBrusk, Gryz/ Reilly, etc. and get JT Miller to sure up the middle. Hope that Lysell can join the team at RW in the near future and throw everything at the wall.
I don’t think preemptively blowing up the team will bring as much back as desired, especially if Pasta, McAvoy, Lindholm, and Sway are untouchable. I say we keep Marchand as our future captain who will be the leadership as we transition from this window to the rebuild. My crappy 2 cents anyways. This is one of the scariest off-seasons that Bruins fans have had in quite some time. So many questions marks and unknowns. Thanks for the great content as always!
Still cant get over the Game 7 loss to the Blues in 19..:(
I hate the bruins but I wanna see them fix it quickly, if the team falls apart and how pathetic of a sore loser Marchand is. Marchand is gonna be so much dirtier then usual.
Grzelcyk or Reilly guaranteed to be traded this summer. I’d be shocked if one of em weren’t moved. It just doesn’t make sense to keep both, especially with Zboril extended.
I think it’ll be Reilly. I don’t think it should be Reilly, but it will be. Grz has the hometown, teammate friendly treatment.
But to me, Grz carries more value which is why I think he should be the one. This team needs a scorer that can actually be relied upon. Someone who can step up to a 2RW role when needed but can also produce in a 3LW/RW as well.
I wouldn’t feel so bad if the Bruins just won that damn game 7 against the Blues. Such a missed opportunity that I probably won’t ever get over. So sad seeing Bergeron probably going to retire without having another cup to add to his résumé. Also Sweeney has to go. A rebuild is going to suck knowing that they could have won so much more.
Boston, pitt, wash should be fading teams but the non playoff EASTERN CONF teams this season don't excite me. I guess with some additions the islanders can get back into the playoffs but their left side of the D is a mess, they have to jettison the bailey contract & prolly need at least 1 if not 2 top 6 fwds. Not sure abt palmieri/parise as well. Lambert & lou has their work cut out for them.
Marchand looks like Nicolas Cage and a leather boot pushed in a blender.
Isn't Swayman an RFA this year?
I'm a Wings fan, so kinda hoping that Boston doesn't figure it out at all.
Bruins suck time for last place
It's a bit amusing to me that after the Dead Puck Era where 40 points for a D man was considered a really good offensive season unless you were named Blake, Gonchar or Lidstrom or someone like that, a player like McAvoy puts up 56 points and he doesn't put up enough points to win the Norris. Are we back to the 80s? I preferred hockey in the early 90s, because a d-man who didn't score 100 points could still be a Norris winner. The Dead Puck Era was a bit ridiculous with how low scoring it was on the other end, but it would be nice if the best all around d-man won a few times. A bona-fide number 1 who could be a shutdown defensemen but also put up 45-50+ points. The best defenseman shouldn't necessarily be a Paul Coffey prototype, but he shouldn't be a total defensive defenseman who can't score either. 56 points seems to be a really good number for a defenseman, if he can be that number 1 guy who can shut down other teams' top lines. It's like giving the Selke to some guy who scores 80 points. I think they've lost the plot.
The only reason the Bruins lost in 2013 was because Campbell broke his leg, Peverly had cancer, Horton had separated his shoulder fighting Iginla who should have been a Bruin at the trade deadline, along with serious injuries to Chara, Bergeron, and Seidenberg.
But none of that would have helped this team. If Bergy wants to come back you gotta let him. If not, break it all down and rebuild keeping Swayman, McAvoy, Pasta, Lindholm.
Ullmark in Edmonton?!
They need to clean house and start over. This team the way it is constructed is not winning a cup.
They're 11 years removed from the cup but they've also had two cup finals since. That's pretty successful.
Bergeron came out and SAID..Either Boston or Retirement!!
I'm not sure that I'd agree that they're good on defense. I've been disappointed that the defense hasn't been as physical as I'd like (especially Carlo) and far and away biggest issue of the regular season was failures to clear/bad turnovers on the breakout. The second biggest issue was getting flat footed and allowing people to just walk on in to the net. Maybe it's a coaching issue instead of a talent issue. I like Cassidy but I wonder how things would turn out with Trotz. I also have to wonder whether losing Jay has been part of why the powerplay seems to have taken a step backwards.
I find it miraculous, actually, alarming that Don Sweeney still has his position as GM and does his completely complicit pal, Cam Neely. The lack of impact of the 2015 draft with THREE first rounders should have set up the B's for long-term success. But not under this management. We fans have watched the Bruins be systematically deteriorated by this guy who clearly thinks he's the smartest GM around while he assembles a roster of question marks rather than players.
Can anyone explain what his vision of the B's actually is? What is it? Does he even know? Does Neely? What is the present identity of the Boston Bruins? I see them as a skill-based, brawn less group whom Sweeney thinks can skill their way to the Cup. Where was he while we watched the last three champs in Tampa twice and the Blues knock the B's around and out of the playoffs in recent years? I would submit to you the Isles with their marauding fourth line of Czekis, Martin and Clutterbuck led the charge in running roughshod over the Bruins. Carolina seldom missed an opportunity to play the man against Boston in their series. I give the Bruins full props for taking the Canes to seven.
As I see it, other teams have no one to fear on Boston's bench in terms of not specifically scrapping but being an aggressive, beligerent, robust presence. The result is the B's skilled players have liberties taken against them. I can't recall the last season where we saw Bergie grabbed so much by his jersey collar and shoved. I'm not suggesting the Bruins need a goon type like Ryan Reaves although I do applaud the Rangers for acquiring him after Tom Wilson rag-dolled Panarin and others last year in one of their games. Sweeney has not provided the Bruins with any protection. I'm talking in the form of players along the lines of Miles Wood, Lawson Crouse and Markus Foligno. Big, tough, hard checking guys who can play.
Sweeney has left the players on the roster to protect themselves.
On D, aside from star McAvoy and the smallish but fearless Conor Clifton, Reilly and Gry are two of the softest, most non resistant defenders in black and gold in recent memory. Gry is a defensive liabilty for whom his flailing stick-checking is a must because he is not big enough or strong enough to ride on-coming players into the boards. He has to resort to trying to knock the puck of the other player's stick in hopes of gaining possession. He and Reilly are consistently unable to clear the crease in front of Sway or Ullmark. Gryz and Reilly are turnstiles. Forbort's solid defensive play against the Canes showed why the Bruins signed him. In the small bit we've seen of Lindholm, he looks solid and unble to be intimidated.
In winning recent championships, both Tampa and the Blues augmented their high end skill with needed grit and sandpaper, something Sweeney the mastermind feels the B's don't need or perhaps, even more alarmingly, feels the roster has enough of. Smith, Blidh, the even smaller than Gryz, Jack Achan, perhaps one Sweeney sees as a poor man's Krug and Studnicka are not the answer. Frederic should be ONE of several Bruins who supply the muscle. He can't do it alone.
I'm not suggesting how a former player's style should be imprinted on a roster but I find it odd that Neely, one of the most fearsome players of his time, someone who'd go around or through an opponent, is in agreement with this version of the Bruins. This guy should stop Sweeney from drafting players in his own image. The GM has taken the Bruins far from their heritage of being a big, bruising, hard-checking, club that makes the other team feel like they've been in a cement mixer like the Flames, Wild and now the Oilers do with their additon of Kane to the already present Nurse and Kassian.
As long as Sweeney is at the wheel, I think we can expect more of the same.
With Marchand recovering from bilateral hip surgery, this offseason is a pivot point for the Bruins franchise. If Bergeron returns, this is still an above average team that needs a top-six RW. To facilitate signing a RW, either Grzelcyk, Reilly, or Ullmark has to be traded to clear cap space. If Bergeron retires, it’s unfortunately time to consider trading Pastrnak, Carlo, and Swayman to acquire 3-5 picks in the top 100 selections; build for 2025.
Not excited about Sweeney getting an extension.. man can not draft and that’s why we’re in this position.
as of yesterday bruce cassidy is no longer coach of the bruin HE WASNT THE PROBLEM SWEENEY IS
Obligatory Bruins fan here, Bergeron is one of my heroes. The Selke Award needs to be renamed the Bergeron Award. HE IS THE GREATEST TWO WAY FORWARD EVER. I can also admit that Ovi is the best scorer ever, Wayne-O is the greatest player ever, and Roy was the best goalie ever. Team doesn’t mean shit! Bergeron is that damn good!
