Show me the 20 teams and their comparables Pasta and McAvoy outside their core....
sure its nice we got kiddos pastrnak and mcavoy coming along... but stack them up against the next 20 teams in the nhl and they all got at least 2 comparables themselves. maybe things work for us in 4-5 years and we will still be competing but the likely reality is we aint going to find another bergeron/chara this decade. these are special guys we have enjoyed here. i wish actually, a few of you would show a little more gratitude for just how well youve had it as bruin fans being able to watch these guys
anyhow... there is a cap to manage. the cap will serve as reality number 1 as it always does when we are trying to get over the top
theres also a covid thing going on that might be hurting ownerships pocketbook... n0t sure about that
theres also just many many many many magic recipes to make stanley cup soup and some come close without getting over the top because THERE IS COMPETITION FOR THE SILVER PRIZE
yes... each year there are going to be more than a small handful of teams that reach the playoffs and there will be 'experts' predicting each of these handful of teams has done 'enough' to win
not everyone wins. if theres 7 teams that get love in vegas as potential winners... 6 are still going to end up losers.
aint no way in hell anyone can know in the offseason whether any team has done the magic to guarantee themselves a cup. sorry geniuses you can all show us your predictions of how things will finish this year but you are all going to be wrong wrong and more wrong
the games must be played
if you want to bet against a team... any team... you will look like a genius more often than not. i can predict tampa wont win the cup for the next 20 years and i will be right at least 18 times bank it.
betting against a team winning is just going to make you right alot of the time
but someone wins
being in the hunt... having a hope... thats all anyone can be promised
weve been in the hunt... weve given fans like me a hope... and i thank the hockey gods im a bruin fan
this year... i expect i will be getting more hope... and honestly smart money says i will be getting more hope the next season too. our window is still open.
