Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 5 - IT'S OVER - Bruins eliminated in double overtime

[JOKER 192]

I'm I the only guy who is uncomfortable with 5'9" Dmen? They're great for the regular season but not so much for the PO's.

 

[Scruffy]

it’s this. Look at the teams fairing much better. Dallas loaded up in the off-season with Pavelski and Perry, Tampa at the deadline. Colorado with Kadri (ugh). These teams actually addressed needs and are seeing it pay off.

We need a better 2nd line RW solution, some size and toughness so they can move people and take the harder playoff games. Hall is an interesting guy to look at for scoring. Kick the tires and see what happens. Torn on Krug but hopefully this makes it a little less expensive to bring him back.

Rask situation is key. Even if he had legitimate reason to leave how will the team look at him knowing it severely affected their chances. This is the most interesting goalie market in a while so maybe it’s time to do something.

Now would be the time to jettison Rask. 1 year left on his deal and actual good goalie options on the market

 

[Emerz]

How was Kase such a good even strength scorer in Anaheim? I can't even imagine this dude scoring a goal, he's never looking shot.

 

[charliesangel]

Another wasted 10 million farking dollars. That's insane. It'll be way worse than Backes. PASS: HARD PASS!

Not going to win a cup with rask. He just can't deal with the stress. Time to let him go.

David still has it he has to retire as a bruin. My favorite player. David so underrated and so good. Simply the best.

One is fine. The rest of the d need to be over 6 feet.

 

[NeelyOrr]

He gets to go home

Hard to blame Bruce. Considering the lack of offense on this team, other then the 1st line, he's stuck trying to polish a big gob of crap.

 

[Maine Fan]

If I can get a 1st + for DeBrusk and sign Hall to a reasonable deal I do it.

I don't want Hall near the Bruins.

 

[CDJ]

Johansson would not have made a lick of a difference in this series, he scored 9 goals this year.

 

[Ivo]

You must be jokin??

F#^_# Tampa

I said it wouldn’t be popular For me, once the Bruins are out, I don’t care what happens next. Couldn’t care less who wins the Cup. So, at least I want something good to come of it for the future. Cup winning teams always run into cup trouble, happened to us, happened to Chicago, happened to Detroit, I want Tampa to be a worse team next time we play them, and if them winning the cup helps with that, so be it. I won’t be watching.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Whats the chances we get a new gm?

This needs to happen as the first off season move. Cannot trust him to fix anything. Like the need once again for more scoring

 

[JOKER 192]

I think DeBrusk with Coyle on line 3 would be good.

Let Krug walk use that money toward Hall.

Bergeron line

Hall Krejci Studnicka

JDB Coyle Frederic/Bjork

Ya, I could keep DeBrusk but it would have to be at the right $$$

Both he and Kase are really elite 3rd liners more than they are 2nd liners.

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

I'm not even mad. Maybe this will be the wake up call donny needs to stop trying to bandaid a second line and actually pony the f*** up to get NHL caliber 2nd liners.

His inability to complete a roster cost us yet another chance for a championship

Honestly, I would let Krug walk and use his money to do exactly that.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

This is not going to be popular, but I want Tampa to win the Cup. Putting emotions aside and thinking rationally, this is a team we have troubles with and they are in our division. We will have to go through them year after year, if we want to win a cup. We need them to lose some of their quality depth players, and them winning a cup would certainly help speed up their disintegration, seeing how cup winning teams always end up overpaying for their depth guys or losing them. Them winning it this year might make them easier to beat in the years to come.

NYI are my next, TBL after that

 

[The don godfather]

David better be here and retire a bruin. Hes the best.

 

[Mione134]

How was Kase such a good even strength scorer in Anaheim? I can't even imagine this dude scoring a goal, he's never looking shot.

And the audacity of some of the posters on here trying to compare him to Samsonov. Y'all wish he was HALF of Sergei. I am not impressed by Kase. Hes fast. But...I see no finish. But hes good in the shootout...so idk

 

[Scruffy]

Honestly, I would let Krug walk and use his money to do exactly that.

Agreed. No chance I pay krug what he wants. Especially after disappearing in the playoffs.

 

[DiggityDog]

Here’s my thing: The Kase trade, strictly from a value standpoint, is a good trade. A decent young middle six winger, and cap relief for a 1st and an okay prospect. In any other year I think you take that.

Here’s my problem with it. We had to use a first round pick to fix one of the general managers biggest mistakes, in a go for it year. Sweeney and Neely need to be held accountable.

Tampa used their first (or a first I don’t know if it was actually theirs) to grab a guy like Coleman who has been a big difference maker for them.

This was a failure that started right at the top

 

[BAD BOY]

Tony Amonte said Kulhman will be a great player for the Bruins I don’t agree with his evaluations and glad he’s not a scout

 

[chizzler]

Off to meet Palat in my nightmares.

He beat them single handedly.

 

[Bruins4Life136]

Team ran out of gas. Not enough offense. This roster needs a shakedown to compete with tampa.

 

[The don godfather]

Its hall or bust now .

 

[Scruffy]

Sweeney needs to go. He's had years to fix this team and has failed to put them over the top. Wasted Bergeron Marchand and Chara

 

[BAD BOY]

Keep the core and just tweak. Add taylor hall somehow and sign david extension. Let krug walk it will hurt but its vak time now to replace him. Keep rask and halak and pick up where we left off here. We have 2 more yrs of a good run.

No the only old player I take back is DK

 

[NeelyOrr]

There are defensive coaches, not Bruce

Yet the BRUINS have been at or near the top in allowing fewest goals since Bruce was hired.
