WEEI Mike Milbury says Bruins ‘should’ve screamed bloody murder’ over ridiculous schedule

[Therick67]

It is what it is

 

[BruinDust]

Bruins now basically have a brutal stretch between Saturday night and the Olympic break, then 3 and and half weeks off for some but their best players will likely be in China, follwed by a 2nd brutal stretch between the end of the Olympic break and the end of the regular season.

There is nothing good about this year's schedule for the Bruins. It's all bad.

 

[Dicky113]

I agree with him. I have found the schedule to be crazy; feels like following an NFL team. They are going to get pummeled in the second half…

 

[Spooner st]

Weird but I actually expect that to happen - and Law of Expectancy

I also like your optimism.

I don't understand the Bruins' passivity towards the NHL. Whether it is officiating failures or this clusterf*** of a schedule, they just bend over and take it.

 

[GordonHowe]

I personally would beat them with a shoe.

 

[HumBucker]

You never know what would have happened, maybe if the Bruins played a game or 4 more during the start of this season someone on the team could have gotten injured in that game.

Parallel Universe Theory 101.

But there are real-world probabilities. Injuries can happen any time, but are probably more likely to happen with the fatigue that comes from playing every second night in a condensed late-season schedule, perhaps?

[GordonHowe]

Big surprise. Do you expect anything else from this "management group"?

 

[DominicT]

Mike Milbury should be mad at whoever it was on the Bruins who had zero objections to the schedule

 

[LouJersey]

Good to have that built in excuse before we even get to the playoffs.

Also good to see someone blame the owner.

100%

elite athletes should be fine.

 

[Tbaybruin]

The owners might be ok with it. Less games to go against the Patriots season.

 

[weaponomega]

The Habs already playing their 20th game tomorrow night. Bizzare schedule

 

[easton117]

He may be a mildly unstable human who hits random people with their shoes…but I kind of agree with him here.

 

[CDJ]

He’s not wrong

 

[ODAAT]

Mike`s not wrong but he`s such an asshat
