Well, people can twist the Wilbur article into whatever they want, and the Bruins Board intelligentsia can shout down those who refuse to follow the party line, but the thrust of the article is accurate.
I, for one, am not comfortable with LE on our top line. Nor, do I get any satisfaction that we won the president's trophy. Nor do I think Chia has made the right calls with some $$ (and NTC) on some contracts. I'm certainly worried, too, about getting DK et al under contract next year. And, anyone who isn't concerned about Chara's declining mobility and the coaching staff's poor TOI management of him, puzzles me.
I don't think that Wilbur is axiomatically suggesting that Chia should have been as foolish as some GMs were yesterday. (Nor am I suggesting that he should have.) Rather, he appears to suggest that there's something amiss in the mindset of Chia and the Bruins braintrust. He's calling out Chia for his apparent view that, "We're good to go (absent maybe a minor tweaking)".
I think a lot of people are whistling past the graveyard here. Certainly, it's not all doom and gloom, we all get that. However, are we r-e-a-l-l-y good enough to win it all next year? In my view, the answer now is most definitely "No" and that we were better positioned last season. I'm not a "yute" but that's the situation as I view it.
You are 100% correct……..but unfortunately half of the posters on this board are looking through their black & gold sunglasses and can't accept the truth.
....Ulf no, Henrik yes
