He has fallen and he can’t get up.Sorry for popping in unannounced but I have a question for you.
Why is Hedman not getting PP time?

Haha that's so weird! I can swear I kept seeing Sergachev getting more PP minutes than Hedman. Guess I imagined it all.
Can't see it happening. Panthers last year were full of Lightning2019 red flags but this Bruins team isn't showing them. Boston has dominated this season a lot through their defense, rather than outscoring all their problems like both the Lightning and the Panthers did.Hoping Boston follows our example of winning the Presidents Trophy in a record number of wins, and getting swept by WC2
Haven't been here in a while. I assume the sky is falling and a 1st round sweep is inevitable
We're going to be waiting a long time to see another team do that.Hoping Boston follows our example of winning the Presidents Trophy in a record number of wins, and getting swept by WC2
Nah. It's ok, Cirelli will shut everyone down when playoffs start. Then Killorn will dominate offensively. We set.Probably more delusional to think we have a better chance at the cup than a 1st round exit as of now.
10 teams could do the same thing in the same season and it would still come back to Kucherov.The wild takes about Kuch on the main board on the thread regarding Cap Circumvention and Vegas. Lordy.
I just meant that considering how much panic there has been on this forum over the last 3 years when the Bolts went to 3 SCF and won 2 that the level of panic must be through the roof right now. I'd imagine that the leafs HAVE to be more hungry, borderline desperate, than TB right now considering recent and decades old history, but the series is still a tossup. I'm not looking any farther than round 1.Probably more delusional to think we have a better chance at the cup than a 1st round exit as of now.
Apparently the last 4+ years mean nothing. Historically dominate and get swept in Rd 1. Last 2 years - Multiple 3+ game losing streaks in the final 2 months of regular season and go to the finals. If there a correlation between reg season and playoff success with this team I haven't found it yet.Unless this is the ultimate game of playing possum, we really could get swept. Pretty much nothing is working except the PP.

Good points. First 2 counterpoints that come to mind: Hagel, healthy PointThere is a correlation between losing players from cup winning teams to losing earlier in the playoffs though..... which some people seem to ignore?
I mean context is everything not just some dumb W-L record entering the playoffs, 3 years ago we benefitted from the covid layover giving new players time to aclamate and our players time to get their heads straight.
2 years ago we didn't have Kucherov in the RS and got to go over the cap by 9.5M, adding an Art Ross caliber player for free to your roster entering the playoffs is game changing, sure last year they weren't playing well either, that evidently translated into nearly losing to the Leafs and benefitting from some lucky calls late in the series.
The roster is getting weaker every single year, that ability to play a playoff game with new faces and weaker players is going to take a hit every single year as well.
5 picks for farmer FranJennoit kinda sucks and I actually think Ace may be better right now. JBB really missed the mark on this one. But his strategy helped us win two cups. So we accept the failure. He got absolutely worked at the TDL this year
