Anyway, don't think it's a stretch to say the past week and a half to two weeks on this board have been largely unbearable, over-exaggerative and obnoxious. Between the Hughes scapegoating, kicking Palms to the curb by many and general rollercoaster of claims in every thread win or lose, it's making this season feel longer than the play of the team has.
I always say this and it always rings true, we'll regret wishing the season away. All along, most of us were viewing this as an extended look at who will be around for a normal, full schedule next year. We're getting that in some guys in Sharangovich and Kuokkanen, as well as seeing Subban is capable of consistent play next year along with maybe one of Murray and Kulikov, if not both.
Let's try and rally here to hope for the best. I don't believe this team ever shows lack of effort. This schedule is abnormal and easily will burn them out, especially against good teams. It is just the reality of the situation.
And hey, it's the Bruins tonight, so maybe we'll come back from the dead to learn to win again.
And if this really is the home stretch for Palms as a Devil, I for one will be sad and sorely miss him.
