draft picks at this age is a crap shoot we know in a few years.we still have 3 months before the season starts lets see what happens
Try listening to sports radio here in Boston and get back to me
But I was serious about how Bruins TV into Montreal 40 years ago created a lot of fans there.
what are you talking about? they are speaking the truth. sweeney got a **** return for hamilton, fact. he got a decent return for lucic, until he retained a bunch of salary. fact. he drafted guys he could have got in the 2nd round, i dont buy that senchysn would have been gone in the 1st, nor debrusk for that matter. he **** the bed in the draft. time will tell that that too is a fact. he gave up a 3rd for a role player he could have had for free come free agency. fact. the guy is a clown, clear as day, whether you are a habs fan, bruins fan, reporter....hell you could be a casual hockey fan and know that. worst week in the history of the bruins as far as moves go.Pierre is a ****** buffoon.
Quite honestly the media and fans alike have gone from panic/over reaction to outright delusions. This is hilarious. Everyone wants to get their shot in on the Bruins. Telling Habs fans no less what they want to hear. What a shocker. Pierre and the rest of the "experts" are just piggy backing off the collective meltdown.
The last time I was this baffled and angry at an offseason was the summer before we got the Joe Thornton pick. The Panthers had just made it to the finals on Vanbiezbrouck's back and Sinden tried to 'emulate' their success by basing the offseason on signing Sheldon Kennedy and Rob DiMaio.
Idk, maybe there is some sense to this theory.
If that's what happened then, and this is what's happening now, then they must be learning quickly that its a different era. There is too much information available to the average fans and opinion makers now for that to be a viable route. You can manipulate fans but you can't pull wool over their eyes. The discussion isn't exclusively generated from the Globe and Herald anymore.
But that seems like an over complicated analysis to me.
I just think there is an organizational philosophy to reward for past accomplishments while the rest of the league is anticipating future accomplishments and so the Bruins are operating in a different reality. Which they also did in the Allison era which kept them mired in mediocrity.
I have and I know what you mean. I personally can't do it.
I'm not arguing with you about there being Bruins fans in Montreal, there are plenty. I'm one and know several, though the numbers have been going down, they're harder to find than they used to be. Hell we even had a parade when the Bruins won the Cup. Melnick likes to say **** just to get under Bruins fans skin then he'll say he likes the way the Bruins play to atone for it . He runs a good show , but he as dopey as next guy with his opinions.

I believe the parade was around Orange Julep
That said I find Canadian sports radio is a better barometer of what is going on in hockey.
Where is the quote from bergevin saying they wanted him?Of course you do, you always know better than anyone else. Problem is, Montreal said they wanted him at 24....then traded back to when they couldn't get him. Sheesh, was it a reach? Yes, no one is saying it wasn't. Did they reach for a reason? Clearly they did. If he turns out a great pick everyone will be praising the 'reach' if not then everyone will **** on it anyway.
