Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 6 - HIBERNATION BEGINS - Florida wins series 4-2

[Festy1986]

Please track that 6th round pick for us and let us know how his career turns out.

I don't even understand whatever passive aggressive you don't know what you're talking about point you're trying to make here.

Clarify it for us simpletons.

It's our fault for holding the Bruins to a standard they couldn't meet because we took dumb to understand that the Panthers were the better team.

It feels absurd to say that out loud but that's definitely the take here.



I've seen enough out of debrusk in 9 years.

He's gone. Obviously. But it's scary that other people are what I see and view him as a centerpiece still.

Not a centerpiece, but a good complementary one, who actually shows up in the post season.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Sure. Great. And next year there will be another reason to give these guys a pass.

It's not a bad take to say pasta needs to be better.

It's a bad take to say he's been fine.

I didn’t say he’s been fine, I said you shouldn’t trade him when he didn’t have the best showing being centered by Morgan f’ing Geekie.

 

[Festy1986]

Swap last years Boston goaltending with this year and Bruins probably win.
AND.... look at Florida 2023-2024 season, last year they had a downyear, bad regular season. 8th seed team last year! In no way.

Yes. And I said last year that Swayman was the guy and we should of traded Ullmark while his value was at a all time high.

No surprise to me that Swayman is a legitimate number 1.

Maroon was traded for a 6th round pick, you being upset about that is hilarious. Hope I helped simpleton.

Got it. So you don't value the picks the bruins have been trading off for zero cups the last decade.

Understood.

Gratitude,

Jeremy Swayman’s ascension as Bruins’ No. 1 goalie a positive from latest playoff run

The Bruins' season ended on Friday night, but Boston can move forward knowing it has a No. 1 goalie for the future in Jeremy Swayman.

[Festy1986]

Just for the record. Without known a single thing the Bruins are gonna do this off-season I can tell you right now they will finish in the top 4 in the conference and maybe even win a playoff series.

Should I be happy about that or should we aim a little higher this time?

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Understood.

I don’t value a 6th round conditional pick no, lack of centers and toughness and sending out 1sts yes.

 

[the negotiator]

I don’t know . After the Bruins game, I watched the avalanche / stars game in its entirety. Honestly, it looked like I had discovered a different hockey league that was at an elite level. The speed and skill of both teams was unbelievable, and it felt like I was watching the game in a higher speed even into the second overtime. Massive infusion of talent needed if we were to compete at that level .

This is so on point

The West plays a different ( better) brand of hockey.....speed, skill and grit all mixed together in a much better product

When I look at the Bs I see deficits in all three categories - there are clearly foundational building blocks in Sway, Pasta and yes McAvoy ....and hopefully Lohrei

Then it gets to a lot of - shall we say - Swiss Army knife players who bring a reasonable game but without a defining characteristic. With the expedition of Jake ( speed) and Marshy( grit) I find it difficult to say which others players have a clear advantage in speed, skill or grit ...individually I like Coyle, Zacha, Geekie et. al. but this is a case where the whole is not greater than the sum of the parts

Should make for a very interesting summer

Do you only show up to complain? I’ve never seen you post anywhere before.

Your GM doesn't value that.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Your GM doesn't value that.

I don’t work for the B’s and I don’t think he’s a good GM.

I was at game 7 of the Stanley cup my friend. Let's not do the you aren't a fan thing because you don't like my takes.

I’m not asking if you are a fan or not, I’m sure you are. But you’re clearly someone that just comes here to be negative.

 

[Bradely]

Panthers made the playoffs on the good graces of the Pens. Down the stretch Florida almost didn’t look like they were even fighting to get in when I watched some of their games.

And they only made it because the pens blew it. And now that same Panthers roster was somehow a mismatch?

Come on

Correct and they had a chance given by Bob becoming Bob to redeem themselves.

I don't come here to be negative. I come here during the most important time of the year and commentate on what is unfolding.

Instead of saying I'm bitching, maybe try understanding the perspective that the Bruins have giving me something to bitch about.

 

[Bradely]

Yes. And I said last year that Swayman was the guy and we should of traded Ullmark while his value was at a all time high.

No surprise to me that Swayman is a legitimate number 1.

Last year I was ok with Ullmark getting the net, which was probably a mistake. Swayman is surely above.

 

[Festy1986]

Yes but they needed to make the move to Swayman a lot sooner. Ullmark showed the year before and you through 4 games of last year's playoffs that he wasn't a playoff goalie.

For whatever reason that is. If they mov eto Swayman for game 6 they win that series and probably the cup.

Okay, I won’t interrupt your therapy session anymore. Apologies

First or second round exit really isn’t cutting it for me .

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Correct and they had a chance given by Bob becoming Bob to redeem themselves.

Bob being Bob?

Or Bruins being Bruins?

Bob gave up 17 goals in 5 games with an .891 save %

 

[Festy1986]

As it shouldn't. The idea that making the playoffs is the goal and satisfactory seems like mediocrity unbecoming for a original 6.

You're jlnot much better than the Leafs if you truly reflect and are honest about it. The same team everyone is happy to laugh at year in and out over their failures.

Leafs we’re probably the only team that the Bruins would have beaten in the first round ,ok maybe the Caps.And if the Leafs we’re missing two of their best players for some of the series,and still really should have won ,and if they had played the first 4 games like the last three,they would have.

 

[frankiess]

You'll be here next year cheering on another early exit talking about how fun the season was.

And I'll be here telling you I told you so.

As always.

The Stanley Cup is really hard to win. The goal/question for the Bruins should be, imo, are they getting closer to the Cup? They've set themselves up, imo, to get closer next year with this years acquisitions and cap money. Now comes the hard part, getting the right players for the team that they want.
