As a Bruins fan I’m thinking Cup or Bust this season for sure ,unlike Leaf fans that are thinking get past the first round or bust.Lol
I got divorced because of game 7 against the Flyers in 2010 (well not really lol but it was close ): after sitting in shock for 2 hours drinking scotch I finally went to bed and my (now ex-) wife says to me “it’s just a game.” I said tomorrow it will be “just a game” but tonight it’s the f***ing end of the world.If we don't win a Cup this year, I'll be disappointed..........for about 2hrs.
When I was in my 20s it might have bothered me for a while, but I eventually realized that this shit isn't life and death....
Yea. No way Marchand hangs them up if Bergy does, not a chance !Like few have mentioned, if Bergeron and Krejci were younger than no. But my gut feeling is that at least one or both will retire at seasons end so yes cup or bust.
Now even still while they won’t be as good as this season depending on how things shake out this off season they will still definitely have a playoff team next season. My biggest wildcard is Marchand. It’s very possible that he decides to hang them up along with Bergeron, since they have been line partners Marchy’s whole career. He is one to keep an eye on.
I see it as a matter of interpretation more so then connotation. I consider a bust to be high expectations followed by “Complete disappointment”. I absolutely have high expectations.I think it's a matter of connotation. Words like "disaster" and "bust" thrown around. I'm sure "choke" would be next.
Complete disappointment if they don't win, sure. But it's the hardest trophy to win in sports, and even a season like this only adds up to a 30-35% probability for the runaway favorite.
A first round sweep, or a loss to Toronto probably qualifies as a "bust". But ECF or further is more of a tough disappointment in my eyes.

These guys are taking risks to make chump change than what they should make. Yet fans just want them to continue to play and at cheap cost. They did a huge favor to this team and we are really overlooking that.Don't see why Bergeron or Krejci should retire.
They are both clearly playing at a level of top 6 centers. 38 and 37 years old at the start of next season, not that old for today's athletes.
I'd say that the odds are both would come back, barring some sort of major injures.
I would say it’s questionable for both which makes these playoffs even more important.Don't see why Bergeron or Krejci should retire.

It’s not the money, it’s the risk to health. Got to remember it wasn’t very long ago we thought Bergerons career was done after a series of serious concussions. No doubt that is on his mind.i don't think anyone is overlooking that, all the comments I've seen from fans is how lucky we are that they're doing this.
And it's not like they haven't made out well for themselves. Bergeron is at 96 million in career earnings while Krejci is at 70 million. The teams has compensated them well during their time here and I'm sure they'll continue to get benefits from the team after they've stopped playing.

They both definitely aren’t lacking playing ability, so unless it really sticks in their jaws if we don’t win the cup this season I really don’t see either back

So why wouldn't they do it again?
Its really, really physically taxing to go deep in the SCPO. If they go to the Finals and win or lose but he stays relatively healthy maybe #37 comes back at the All-Star Break.
Its called Honor and Commitment at its highest level in Sports today. Very few if any athlete's today would take that kind of Pay Loss. I commend them for this.These guys are taking risks to make chump change than what they should make. Yet fans just want them to continue to play and at cheap cost.

Never been done before.
Can't see it being done then, either.
