Not sure if it's better get knocked out early or stumble at the finish line.

I must have blocked out 2013, but I don't remember anything.

Heads up, look ahead, that's where the futur is.
We have to stop to be so charitable. We need to be more selfish.

Giving games away needs to stop.

I’ve essentially done the same.

Over time, the memories of this run will fade as well.

Fair or not, the bar has been set high for this club/region.

We don’t remember runners up, Wales Trophies or Adams Division Banners.

It definitely hurts more losing in the final, no doubt. Still a big accomplishment, but the fall is much higher from the final.

next season i dont wanna hear anyone say we have to get home ice.

It was a very valuable experience to the next core, they now know the road . I believe 2020 as a possibility.

Or that the path is unfair/overly difficult.

Wonder what happens to our team, will Coyle and Johansson stay, I sure hope they keep Clifton as the future looks bright for our D-men. Anyone think there will be any big names going bye-bye???

Coyle is signed for next season. I can't see Johansson staying.. He probably really hates Marchand in real life.

I’m not sure about the pipeline,still don’t see a replacement for Bergeron or Krejci

I agree that the key to success for the next decade will be finding that Center (and another wing) while continuing to develop Pasta and DeBrusk. They are available...look at what Ryan O'Reiley just did. Hopefully they can find a C in the draft. Would like to avoid free agency because it is dangerous to give big money. I don't think we need a superstar...in the cap era, the money they demand detracts from the depth that is needed for runs like this. The NHL is not a stars league.

In terms of roster development, missing on Backes and also only getting 1/3 of the picks right in 2015 may have cost them this series.

Just sad to see. The first line got you to the playoffs and then completely shit the bed on the biggest stage for an entire series.

Coyle is signed for another year, so he'll be back. I wonder about Johansson. He will probably command a pretty decent contract. I thought he was a good acquisition but I am not sure he is back next season. I'd like to see both Backes and Chara retire, but we'll have both next year. I don't see anyone moving out of note, unless a deal can be had for a top 6 RW, but it seems like we have been waiting for that deal for a while now.

We need home ice, home needs be at our advantage specially with the new ice.

 

[Krupp]

I'm still glad they got as far as this did, with all the shit they had to face throughout the season

They still destroyed Toronto's dreams. They crushed cinderallas in Columbus. They did the same thing with the jerks in Carolina.

Or would you guys have preferred to be Tampa Bay, the DOMINANT ONES who....oh wait, got swept in four games??

I'll take a game 7 loss in the finals any day over that shit, thank you very much.

I never saw that game I was working,didn’t bother watching it,last night was brutal,and who is to say when we get back there again.

 

[nORRis8]

Eagles/Patriots revisited.
It's an "oh well moment"

I like this team and sense we can make a run again next year.
Johansen and Coyle are keepers. 2nd line material.
Truly disappointed in Debrusk as their appeared to be zero chemistry with he and Krejci.
Our defence is sound.

 

[SImpelton]

Well that certainly wasn't how we wanted it to end but it was a very entertaining season regardless. Hats off one last time to the 2018-2019 Bruins. They gave it all they had, and lost a fair fight at the end.

If I honestly expected them to get this far this year I would be far more disappointed, but this team definitely outperformed our expectations this year and even with this final disappointment, they deserve to be remembered that way. Good run boys, see you this fall.

 

[NDiesel]

This one was tough to swallow, even after sleeping on it I feel like shit. So close to the finish line again, but when it matters our best players weren't our best players. You can't win a series when the only forwards who show up are your bottom 6 forwards. I really feel for Rask - he deserved this cup so bad, something I can't say for the rest of the team.

But there is light at the end of the tunnel. We will have a similar (hopefully improved) team next year and I believe we are going to witness another deep run. These guys don't like to lose - the last time they won the cup the year prior was filled with heartbreak, maybe next year will be the same.

 

[smithformeragent]

Points were at a premium.

Also, in the video Fenway posted of Jack and Brick interviewing Cassidy, Edwards was acting like a sad puppy.

It’s was sort of embarrassing to watch.

 

[Spooner st]

Just sad to see. The first line got you to the playoffs and then completely **** the bed on the biggest stage for an entire series.

That's a very simplistic way to look at it. Maybe the injured list will help you understand what shitting the bed means.

Well... I did say it a few post back.

 

[Alicat]

Everyone is being super sweet at work today.

I just feel like closing my office door, going under my desk and having another crying session.

I already miss doing GDT's.

 

[Dr Hook]

That's a very simplistic way to look at it. Maybe the injured list will help you understand what ****ting the bed means.

Injuries perhaps, but whatever the reason, the first line needed to be a whole lot better than it was in this series. That is the #1 reason the Bruins are not enjoying the Cup today. They either **** the bed or their bed was shat in. It doesn't really matter.
