Yeah........in his mouth!Is Milbury still wearing the shoe he stole in the stands back in 1979?
The IT guys would never be able to fix it.
Good. This team thrives being the underdog. We need more media members throwing this team under the bus.
Mad Mike says we lose in the first round. That means we going at least to the third round.
Milbury doesn't see Bruins getting out of first round
That's because he wants clode canned so he can get the job
I am confident the goalie will play well even against Montreal and the forwards will be good- but can the defense move the puck? transition and team speed are the issues in a track meet
Rangers have a very good defense, Boston matches up well in net and forward- Rangers
Habs- Price and Tuukka play equal I'll take Boston- Habs are overrated but Price isnt- Habs but not feeling that confident
Tampa- team speed may be to much for Boston- like the Bolts here but again, Rask can outplay Bishop more times than not- Tampa
Detroit- like Boston here
Islanders- like Boston here
Capitals- like Boston
Pittsburgh- toss up
faster the team, better the defense the worse it is for Boston
I guess he has a soft spot for the Isles and I don't blame him he should feel the same way about them that Esposito feels for the Bolts.
Only a fool crowns Montreal or NYI champs and Pitt have underacheived in the post season quite a few years running. We have a good chance to win it all or reach the finals.
Our team right now is a better version of the 2010 team which should have squeaked into the finals and gotten blown out by Chicago. D is weakness and Chara is over but look at the rest of the team. Krug over Hunwick? Hamilton vs Wideman? Seids vs Ward?
Maybe he's neither seeking to become the next Don Cherry nor Claude Julien's job.
Maybe he just doesn't think they're good enough to make it out of the first round. A month ago I would have agreed, and I'm still not sure. The guy was a good coach & a terrible GM. These days he's paid to express his opinion. No problem with this.
Same here.
Im not totally sold on this team either.
But as far as Milbury expressing his opinion, much ado about nothing for me.
Just because it comes from a meathead doesn't mean it's not true.....
Many here have said the same thing.....that's what being an underdog is. Doesn't mean it wont happen. I don't know why people celebrate being the underdogs and then get huffy when someone doesn't expect them to win against a team like the Habs whose record against us is ridiculous or the Rangers whose roster depth kills ours.......
Our winning streaks coincide when Rask puts up elite goaltending and that's what it will come down to with this roster..... defense is a mess and offense hasn't been reliable. It's a very real possibility we don't make it out of the first round when you don't base your predictions on hope and love for the team........
so....essentially what 85-90% of the posters say here
Let's be real here. We're going to be playing the Habs, Lightning, Islanders, or Rangers. They're all fast teams. We have huge holes in our defense and our offense is streaky. underdog.
We're the underdog... I bet almost no hockey "experts" will put us anywhere further than the 1st round and for a good reason, probably. Up to the Bruins to prove them wrong because this game isn't played on paper. "Experts" get paid to say what's going to happen on paper. And yeah, on paper, we're out in the first round.
Myself, I'm not really afraid of any matchup. Any of 'em are going to be tough but for every reason why Team X will knock us out, I'll give you a reason why we can knock them out. No team wants to face us in the 1st round. Underachieving team with injuries all season long, getting hot and healthy late in the season screams upset.
