Pre-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 6 5/17 7:11 PM - SUNRISE OR BUST - Florida leads series 3-2 - TNT, truTV, MAX, CBC, SN, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[UConn126]

13 years ago to the day, a team from the state of Florida came into Boston to try and win a game and a kid by the name of Tyler Seguin was put into the line-up...

I think about this game a lot. What could've been if we'd held onto the player...


Although if we don't trade him we don't get McAvoy and Pasta in the draft so there's that

Meant to link Stamkos video to this.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

as bad as this sounds, I have more confidence in us winning a possible game 7 on the road, than this game 6 on home ice tonight.
I just think they are going to start slow like they did in game 3 and game 5 against the Leafs.

Boys are on a mission.

A mission from God.
Go Bruins.

 

[GoBs]

Was cringing last night watching the Canes squander a 3-1 third period lead when they easily could have forced a Game 7 on the Rangers… Bruins need to play for 60 full minutes tonight.

Cains had them, they also hit two posts in the third

 

[Patdud]

Win or lose play hard and make it a hell of a game. Take more big steps as a new leadership group for next year. the fun times ain't over yet.

Was Ladyfan at game 7 vs the Blues?

I'm trying to find a silver lining here!

He underperformed in the 2012 and 2013 playoffs. His 42-game playoff line from his time here is 6-12-18 (identical to Joe Thornton’s Boston playoff line, incidentally). Two of Seguin’s six Bruin playoff goals came in a very crucial game, but one game nonetheless. That gives him four goals in 41 other playoff games.

His Dallas playoff numbers are only slightly better.

Unacceptable for a player supposedly as talented as him.

Although if we don't trade him we don't get McAvoy and Pasta in the draft so there's that

I’ll take McAvoy and Pastranak over Seguin any day.

 

[LouJersey]

Tonight will be the third playoff game I will have missed since cable became a thing and I could watch the Bruins in an out of market. The first one was a game 6 vs PHI in 2010. Second was game 3 vs STL in 2019. Hoping tonight is more like the second one. 5-3 Bruins w an ENG

Seguin led the Bruins in scoring that year as a 19 year old,. with prime Bergeron and Krejci. He has also played in as many cups as those guys, with one more conference finals. MMQB but keeping Seguin over Krejci would have been a no brainer after 2013, but you could have kept all three with that gorgeous contract Chia signed him too. That trade gave @EverettMike and myself PTSD of the 4th of July's to follow.

I’m missing something here how did the Bruins get McAvoy and Pasternak for Seguin don’t remember him getting traded for picks ,he went with Peverly and can’t remember the others for Loui Eriksson, Reilly Smith, Matt Fraser and Joe Morrow.So how did that turn into Pasta and MCAvoy.

 

[BTO]

If you have come in here to be the 10,0000 poster to say Maroon is slow than you have run out of things to say and are just posting to post.

I think we have to get Maroon more minutes: could really use his speed on the forecheck. Happy?

I would say Seguin's been passable or serviceable relative to his talent. Rarely disappointing, but he's never really hit that next level of the true stars either.

He's having a good run so far this playoffs though. 7 points, +6, playing a lot of 3rd line but taking good advantage of some easier matchups as a result. Nice to see him being a factor again.

Don't know what might have been if the Bruins had kept him, but I think at the least it can be said that while he's done alright for himself there's nothing to suggest that his loss was some kind of horrendous, era-defining mistake.

Both Seguin & Hall fell short of the hyped expectations

I literally think about it every 4th of July.

I was in the pool! I was having a great day!

At the beach. It was sunny. I had a cocktail. Heading home to BBQ.

RUINED.

Seguin on that deal on a roster that also had prime Bergeron and Krejci likely cost us another Cup at minimum.

Not only because Loui Eriksson f***ing sucked, but because the Bruins gave Seguin away for peanuts when other teams would have paid waaaay more at the time.

So yeah, Seguin didn't turn into a Hall of Famer or anything, but for the role he would have played for the Bruins it was an era-defining mistake for the organization, which history will absolutely recognize for having blown a decade of great players on great deals after 2011.

I still think it came down to Seguin or Marchand and they chose Marchand because they had the two centers but needed wingers.

Still, you have to get more in a trade for that kind of player. Like a 1st at least, cmon, a higher potential young player. something!

 

[EverettMike]

This is where I wanted to be the morning of a do-or-die Game 6: reliving the Seguin trade.

A little early for a bleachtini, but I think I'll have two.

So, let’s get this thread back on track.

How do you think the Bruins will do tonight?

Playoffs

Krejci

Now do after 2013 which was my point. Regular season too. Would have been the perfect 2C behind Bergeron.

No GDT. I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. Sorry @Fenway
