Ty Anderson: B's slide hits four with OT loss to Islanders

Defense is poor and goaltending is below average.

Bruins won't make the playoffs.
But will that cost Sweeney his job? I hope so. But I'm not confidant.

They need to blow this team up and do a FULL rebuild. No patchwork crap. Unfortunately they are stuck with Swayman and his 8.25M cap hit.

JT Miller would look good in a Bruins uniform

Actually, Swayman's no movement clause doesn't kick in until the 26/27 season.

Can't believe I would ever say this, but I'm looking forward to Lindholm getting back on the ice. He was actually playing like he did that first full season when McAvoy was out. Get him back and put him on the 1st unit power play and Lohrie on the 2nd and get the $9M waste of money off the ice. The only 1D trait McAvoy shows is TOI.

Swayman's play this season acts just like a NMC.

sack sacco and special teams disaster.

Sweeney will see this and probably sign Sacco to an extension.

But hey we got Kastelic for another few years so at least we have that. I do like his game.

They should start payment in the mid end o

Shots are 29 - 12.

The way they are playing defensively as a team…they will be out of a playoff spot in less than two weeks.

Before anybody responds…

PLAYOFFS? You kidding me? I just hope we can win a game.

They need a proper rebuild.

So if not making the playoffs means Sweeny (and Neely?) get fired, that would be a good thing.

Bring up (frank)ing Poitras, Lysell and Merkulov and let them all play. This team is stale as poop right now.

How can you keep putting the same #1 PP unit on the ice time after time after time...talk about insanity! The 2nd unit is way more effective at getting chances. How can they not shake things up there...it's mind boggling!

Read this and thought to myself: " ahh the Joe Sacco era has begun".


Monty: Lets put the lines in a blender every 20 seconds until something works, then do it again.

Sacco: The lines haven't really been working, but lets see how it develops for the next 20 games.

We have literally swung to the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to line juggling. I know there is only so much Sacco can do, but I think its time to bring some guys up from Providence and let them have at it.

I mean they could always try Kastelic on the first line, Coyle at Goalie and maybe stick Brazeau and Beecher on defense. Gotta try everything before bringing up young talent.

In a previous thread I said that they might make the playoffs as a bubble team. IF they do, and thats a big if, it will likely buy Sweeney/Neely another year of "retool and get worse".

I would say they cant make the playoffs, but Murphy's Law dictates that the outcome that will do the maximum amount of damage is the most likely to happen, and happen first.
