True . Tim was far too politically incorrect for the Mass minions?
Glad you and others are finally coming around. It’s only taken years.Yeah the Krejci deal looks real solid at this point.
Ah come on ... Please
It was a great season that was a huge surprise to me. Never expected this team to be one of the top teams and to seriously throw around the idea of a Cup challenge this season. That’s insane and I have a hard time being that disappointed things ended in the 2nd round. With the new playoff format we’re gonna have to get used to losing good teams early. I was so calm yesterday, I barely knew myself.
No shame going out to a team like Tampa that are stacked in every position and were expected to be a Cup contender. I think the effects of injuries and fatigue just hit us at the worst time and was responsible for a lot. Tampa were just too good to be a tired, hurting Bruins team.
I think there’s a lot to be excited for in the coming years for the Bruins. The top line are locked in for years with beautiful contracts and the youth have been outstanding with more to come. There are some concerns obviously but to me the good far outweighs the bad at the moment.
This was one of the best seasons and one of the most likeable teams I can remember.

True.....If Sweeney knew Miller was available, why did we not get that package of JT and McD....even going after JT miller would of been better than Rick Nash, i'll admit I was excited for Nash, but it didn't work out.

It wasn't just their D-men who were playing strong and physical. Their forwards freaking brought it. Callahan/Paquette/Kucherov/Palat had 19 hits today (6/4/4/5). No Bruin forward had more than 2. Really pathetic given that TB's game has dropped off noticeably this season when they are getting hit.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the hits stat is kept by the home team's statisticians, and is usually (heavily) weighted toward the home team. Partly because it's such a subjective stat. This is definitely one place where you want to NOT rely on the stats, but should use the eye test. Early in the series, the eye test for me showed Tampa outhitting the B's pretty significantly. I thought it evened out in the latter parts of the series. Giving the Tampa forwards 2-3 times as many hits is exactly that - giving it to them - while not giving it to the Bruins forwards.It wasn't just their D-men who were playing strong and physical.

what do you think nails are in this analogy? I'm not talking about scorers or finesse players.More hammers ok, but why would you want fewer nails, I want both

I'm talking about the guys who always seem to be on the receiving end of hits and shrink because of it.
I thought guys like Schaller & Acciari were hammers but they were definitely nails getting hammered and not doing any hammering of their own in this series.
Ironic that after the Bruins were shutdown I saw this ad where the guy says "next thing you know I'm telling people defense wins championships..."
You can trade anyone, if the return is right.
