The article could read "Bruins at the beginning of a empire" and work.
Stacked farm, a couple more 1st rounders, looking forward to the future.
Lambert is the biggest Bruins hater in the media you will ever find. Bruins fans really should not give him the click that keeps his garbage spewing.
Isn't he the same guy that complained about boring two way forward Bergeron winning the NHL cover over fast skating super ****ing PK Diver?
Analytics and spin. Poindexter's gravy.
The fact that he raves about Dougie Hamilton who is a minus player and has become a polarizing player already in Calgary and then promotes the myth that the Bruins want that trade back tells me he has an agenda.
And yes Calgary has taken a step back but so much of that has been horrible goaltending also.
On the other hand I don't think any Bruins fans think this team is close to perfect. This season has been perplexing. One game they dominate, the next they are dominated. But the sky isn't quite falling as fast as the writer wants to promote.
They won the corsi battle in Chicago fyiIt's not surprising that they get a lot of shots against when there's only one reliable puck moving defenceman in the team. I would only be worried if Sweeney can't shore up the defence in the summer. Also, while I like Corsi I don't have the kind of reverence for it that some of these advanced stats advocates seem to have. Bruins lost the Corsi battle against Chicago, but is there anyone who would seriously claim that Bruins weren't the far better team in that game? Goal differential is a more reliable indicator of team's future success within a season.
I think the problem is it's written with a sexy headline and agenda.
Decline? Maybe-but was there ever really an empire? What's weird to me is that while our defense is full of holes the team is actually playing better than last year and is positioned better. Forward group is actually pretty decent.
The problem really is that trading Boychuk broke the team and the huge hole has t been filled.
The one thing that worries me at the moment is we lack a solid, potential number 1 Dman and Chara is fading fast. I know we have some Dmen in the pipeline but I'm not sure any of them have #1 potential and if they do Chara isn't going to get better while we wait for his development.
number one d men don't come along easily...
but... the Bruins will never have another defencemen as good as Eddie Shore.. .until along came Mr. Orr. ... Sir Robert retired.... we got Brad Park.. not a bad replacement.. they would never get anyone close... along came Raymond...he left... along came Z. may take a year of two but if there is one thing this team has done right.. its getting that number one D-man... give it a bit of time.. they are one of the better teams in the east.. and has a ton of youth coming up. Dont know who this Lambert person is...but another idiot making comments because he wants them to come true. no wonder i never bother reading what he writes.
I didn't even have to go past the thread title to know it was Lambert.
For some reason D.J. Bean thinks he's great, which is one reason I unfollowed Bean on Twitter - I couldn't take the retweets.
Ya but some of us saw this from get go...
I still feel Chris Kelly and his 3 million cap hit has caused us the most damage... he should've been dealt/cut /shot to the moon after the cup run
You'd think Boychuk was equal to Bobby Orr. Two years later and his huge hole has yet to be filled.
