What he’s saying is that there are posters who are ready to blow up the team about the most trivial regular season ebbs and flows when before there were disastrous things that happened to Boston teams that actually cost championships.
Oh. When people start using other sports analogies I’m lost.

Don't you feel guys the Bruins season lies in the hands of Halak ? If he's great we go deep. Rask is great but come playoff time he lets in a softie and deflates the team and series. Halak might be more dependable . I hope I'm wrong but it seems it's heading that way. I think Cassidy and management will make a decision on rask after this year.
I think it rests in health of 37 & 46

I have been quite impressed by Nordstrom. He’s a little slow to my eye, but could he potentially be tried in that 3C role as well?

Moore has been ugly. Not going to lie, when Krug is back, he sits over Gryz and it’s not that close.

I think give him some time to move from man to man to zone.

Nice bounce back win. Was able to watch some at work. I liked the lines Cassidy went with. Good to see Marchand have a good game after people thought he was a scum bag for jumping Eller.

I think people thought he was a scum bag before “jumping” Eller :laugh:

I actually thought him fighting Eller instead of doing something cheap to him made him less of a scum bag.

Yea lol. Just the more recent “incident” for people to bitch about is what I meant.

I agree 100%, act like a Dbag on the ice expect consequence regardless if you have fighting majors or not.

This thread needs a little grounding, so I'm going to resurrect a post I made a while ago:

It used to be the worst thing that can happen was Bucky F-ing Dent, the ball going between Buckner's legs to lose the World Series, or LaFleur scoring during the Too Many Men game to lose the Cup. Since we've become title town, the "worst thing that can happen" becomes whatever game you are watching, and whatever play you decide to kvetch about. A defensive breakdown in a game against Arizona on January 13th becomes the same as losing in triple overtime on a goal by that useless scrub Petr Klima. It's Eeyore on steroids. It's like that dumb donkey won the lottery, built himself a million dollar barn with all the luxuries, and then *****es about his stall not having enough sunshine when a random cloud goes by.

My God I wish just one of these spoiled millennials lived through Lucy pulling away our football in the late 70's and 80's.

It's amazing how similar this board is to the yankees one i visit. The mentality is the exact same. How long until the fire Cassidy posts start? Yankees fans started on Boone after 18 games....

Most everyone seems to think that Tampa is one of the favorites to come out of the East.

They had and have a $5.8m Ryan Callahan on their 4th line (he’s out until November). Is the extra $200k what’s going to sink Boston if they use Backes on the 4th line?
Good point. I am much more concerned with output than salary. One impacts team success, the other primarily affects cap management. If he is a force on the fourth line and helps get us deep in the playoffs, I won’t care that some may think him overpaid. His price tag is already set. Everyone has a role; do your job.

We had a lot of layers last night. Good support from forwards helping our strong dmen then Halak mopping it up if there is a drop of milk. If we play like this consistently we can whip the leafs or bolts. Cassidy is the man with the plan. Great coach.

I was about to comment on the majority of the forum being too easily trolled, but honestly, you are all over the map.

There was a post yesterday by “Fire Sweeney” that suggested Cassidy had 4-5 games to straighten it out.

So, the answer is, too late, the “fire Cassidy” posts already started.

You're surprised about that? Seems that guy just slithers out from under his rock when there's a big loss

It is easy to get down on a blow out loss especially early in the season, then to get high on a 4-0 shut out.

Bruins will be fine, I would like to see some secondary goal scoring one day though, that is this teams biggest need.

I wasn’t surprised at all. Nothing people post here surprises me anymore.



Or a guy who can't get on talk radio any more because he's not cutting the mustard even at that level to get past the call screeners

You lost me with this :huh::laugh:

Sorry, coulda worded that better. Seems to me that the poster's takes are a few notches below what your average "sportz radio" talk show caller "brings to the table"

For some reason.. I feel like this team is gonna be a Jekyll/Hyde situation again.

At least it'll make things interesting and cause a lot of minor heart attacks.
