They are all getting a free pass - how exactly do you think this will play out? The entire team gets blown up because of a bad game 7?
Not a chance.

Bergeron for Hart
I'd be happy to see Bergeron miss the first 50 games as long he gets this groin issue resolved once and for all. It's been proven in the three point parity NHL that a team can be mediocre almost all season and stay in the playoff hunt. IMO, at this stage, he shouldn't be so concerned about missing regular season games.
Glove Malfunction
Ference is my binky
Ference had repeated groin issues, then he had surgery and he never seemed to have issues after that.
Ditto David Krejci and his hips- since he's had them fixed he's been fine.
By free pass i didn’t mean “oh you can stay on the team.”
If they aren’t subjected to harsh criticisms until they prove otherwise, they will have received a free pass
Roll 4 Lines
Pastafarian!
Wardrobe malfunction?

I expect “load management” to become a thing in the NHL starting next year. For example, the Bruins should sit Bergeron and Chara for a game every 8-10 games, especially on back-to-backs. Give them a little extra rest during the regular season so they are fresher for the playoffs.
The NBA has been doing this for awhile now. Look how well it paid off for Kawhi Leonard on the Raptors this year.

Yeah, I knew someone would bring up basketball, but it's so much easier in that sport due to the lack of parity. You can't just rest your best players comfortably for an eighth of the season in the NHL.

Why not? I don’t mean every best player, just older and injury-risk ones. For the Bruins, I would only plan that for Chara and Bergeron. Chara missed 20 games this year and Bergeron missed 17. Bruins came 3rd overall. Planning them to miss 8-10 games wouldn’t have any significant effect on the standings.
If they get injured anyways then you can decrease the number of games missed for load management when they are back. Just seems like a good and easy way to make sure they are at a higher level of rest come playoff time.

That's what happens when you play all in all the time.
Mind boggling people complaining about a player like Bergeron.
I didn't know Boston fans was loaded with sore losers. Holy f***.

Check the number of posts that a lot of these people have. Many less than 200. It's a Forum, so everyone can
voice their opinion, but the complainers are wrong.
They get to a game of winning the cup and people are like , they didn't try, they suck, they can't get up for game 7 of the cup. They gave it their all, came up short. It sucks , but they played hard and did their best.
Thank you Boston Bruins.
I think what stings the most is not the loss, but the fact that this was a eminently winnable series. The Bruins are better than the Blues, hands down. Their wins, they were pretty dominant. The three losses were tight games. Until they had their backs broken by the two late goals last night they were by far the better team. And yeah, the top line coming up missing in action for this series was a big let-down. For guys that regular season were one of the best lines in the NHL, if not the best, it wasn't pretty to see.
I do imagine there were some injuries to them, but at the end of day, every team's injury list after the playoffs, especially a long run like the Bruins had is going to be that way.

Like O'Reilly? He played with broken ribs in rounds 2,3 and 4. What did he accomplish?

I thought he looked pedestrian for long stretches of these playoffs, actually, even at the beginning of the final.
The last 4-5 games he was outstanding.
Must have upped the dosage.

Guy was great.
He had the 3 key first goals in games 4 5 and 7.
Game 4 wraparound was a killer for me.
Chara's jaw broken in 2 places. Right side separated into two places. Had pins put in.
How do you play through that.

I thought he was awful in Game 5, but looked really solid to close out the series.

That puke Schenn and Maroon both went high after. They may want to watch out next time!
Specifically mentioned game 2 against Toronto though. The cross-check to the face, or any of the other dirty stuff Kadri got him with that game.
