@Striiker They're losing their minds.

Remember how the Oil fans booed their own players, whined about their own sad sack situation and victimhood, then lucked into McDavid and immediately became insufferable?

I 'member.

 

[Curufinwe]

So did Carchidi make as big a fool of himself as it seems like?

having to be publicly corrected by Bob McKenzie on twitter isn't a great look.

 

[baudib1]

yes

The more he gets humiliated the better.

Checkmate.

Leighton and Philly, bound together forever.

I'm not sure if a team has created more change in the league than Boston in the last 14 years due to high flux of talent--Thornton, Kessel, Seguin, Hamilton, Lucic all traded. How they've managed to not suck during that span is almost a miracle.

Didn't they always attract a fairly decent crop of UFAs?

 

[Here4ThaLids]

I kinda wanna see the fake trade happen just to read Sam's lame attempt to dunk on McKenzie.

Could Wheeler go on that list also? I don't remember details.

Dated Dec 2014
How the Boston Bruins blew the Thornton, Kessel, Wheeler, Seguin trades…and lost out on T.J. Brodie, too - TheHockeyNews

They mention "having" Dougie Hamilton as a result of some of these trades, and Louie Eriksson, and then time happened and those players are gone too, for nothing (Louie) or next to nothing (Hamilton, tbd). The other folks mentioned via these trades are typically in a status of, Who?

Some wild voodoo, and what having a HoF (Chara), and close to HoFs (Bergeron & Thomas), can do to cover up some warts.

 

[Audible Velvet]

Good lord, Chia! He clearly values a lot over talent, I guess?

 

[TCTC]

The Bruins are really good at drafting. So even Chiarelli couldn't ruin that team.

The Oilers on the other hand...

 

[baudib1]

I think you have to give Julien a lot of credit for keeping that team going year after year.

Wheeler

ky all the way over jp.

I don't want either one of those players anywhere near philly .

They were actually pretty terrible at drafting under Chiarelli & Edmonton is seemingly continuing it.

He was hired right before that 2006 draft that yielded Kessel, Lucic, & Marchand.

Although him & has staff did leave them with a good last class in 2014.

Looks worse than I thought.

It's going to be interesting how they plan on replacing Bergeron someday. Krejci isn't the player he once was either.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Laughton with 18 points on the year to schenns 24. Yuck!
Even though Laughton might just be having a career year he already amassed 200 nhl games and very well could end up with 4 to 5 hundred when all is said and done. Not too shabby for a bust, eh?

 

[baudib1]

If any of you think JVR or Voracek is worthless away from the puck, you should check out Laine.

Without his shot he probably wouldn't even be in the NHL. I don't get to see him play on a regular basis but he seems like a very one-dimensional player.

interesting that Faksa was someone mentioned as a 3rd line fill in, and he only has 16 points this year.

I spent the entire Jets-VGK series last year shrieking in terror any time he shot the puck - his shot is that good. But yeah, I'm watching tonight and it's kinda remarkable how useless/clueless he is.
