Boston Bruins THANK YOU BRUINS - It wasn't the end we wanted but the future is bright

[ODAAT]

Break up day is at 8am today so we will know very soon how injured these guys were

Carlo/Krug the obvious one`s but of those playing in the final game of the year I would wager we`ll hear something about Bergy/Marchand/DeBrusk and while I don`t think he played hurt, probably hear about how McAvoy only started to feel like his old self closer to the end of the series

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Really happy with the year. They are ahead of schedule in the rebuild on the fly. Six rookies played in the 2 series off and on. Lead the league by a good margin in over all rookie pts.

I don't think they will tell us about some of the injuries.

Hopefully all will be healthy for camp.

I guess the best thing is to let Rick Nash walk. Do you think we could trade his negotiating rights to some team before the free agency date?

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Not really sure where else to post this. Did anyone from here take part in this?

I didn't hear about it

 

[JOKER 192]

Uh, WE have the smallish team.

I get that, but they are even smaller.

Not really.

They pushed us around from the back out.

Overall I'm happy with the season. I never would have guessed this team would have been a top 5 team. And the progress of our young people as is really exciting.

Can't wait for October.

This bothered me even more than the officiating.

This bothered me even more than the officiating.

Yeah, that was tough to watch especially as a Bruins fan.

Playoffs guys play hurt...

 

[Dr Hook]

Thanks for posting that- what a mess.

Is it just me or was that THE most ridiculous year for injuries this team has ever seen. Seems the first month or so and the last month or so was a slaughter house in particular. When this team was fully healthy through JAnuary - February, they were practically unbeatable. So the question is Why?. Was this just being "Unlucky" or is it something more?

not sure I can recall as many injuries and not just injuries to depth players either, front line guys who are/can be tough to replace. Hats off to the players and coaches, never let those injuries be leaned on as excuses. I know players often play hurt, moreso in the playoffs and I`ve never suffered a groin injury but for the best players in the world playing the fastest game, has to drastically limit what you can do

Happy overall!
GM - A plus
Goaltending - Slightly above average.
Defence - Very good.
Forwards - Very good.
Not overly happy with the goaltending - both goalies stopped pucks pretty well but were a glorious scoring chance for the enemy every time they touched the puck, and at 10 million , that's not good enough to win a championship!
Maybe a goalie coach to teach them to handle the puck might help - couldn't hurt.
DK is another one not bringing enough to the table to warrant his contract!
Rookies were amazing.
Hoping we can get a goalie to really push Rask and eventually push him right out the door.
Coaching was also a plus as long as he wasn't serious when he said he wanted his netminders handling the puck more.
