Bruins and Habs: Part II, The Crushening
- Thread starter Red Right Ankle
- Start date
McQuaid has been an AHL level defensemen this year but he absolutely should've pummeled Weise's face there.
Playing the B's goal song, singing the Ole and the hey, hey, hey goodnight song. They award the Stanley Cup in November now?
Also can you imagine the hue and cry from them if the Bruins played that Kumbaya song the Habs use as a goal song at the end of a 5-1 drubbing?

I mean, this team was so defeated that he couldn't even bring himself to thug it up. That was a fucking massage.cshea said:
Not necessarily. They likely have to get by them, but they also have to look at Tampa Bay.Dalton Jones said:
And if you really want this team building themselves to beat one team, you're going to be disappointed with the results. That mindset was stupid 10-15 years ago vis-a-vis the Yankees, it's equally stupid today to dismantle a team that's successful against the league in general in order to beat your rival.
And just to be clear, the bigger offense in your original post is that you compared a team that started a clearly recuperating Seidenberg, rookies in Trotman and Morrow, and Adam fucking McQuaid on defense and Nik Svedberg in net to Too Many Brads and "...it's called Bruins." It's so overreactionary that it should've automatically come with a "Jacob$ is a cheapskate" comment. Of the starters I listed, one might be starting for the Bruins in April. Let's just back off the ledge for a few weeks, see if Chara's coming back and what trades might be made, and reassess.
How is, "Let's see how people come back from injury and what trades can be made," a rebuttal to a comment on this team? "Well, they're going to change the team," pretty much illustrates what he's talking about, doesn't it?" 
Granted, it's my interpretation, but I got a lot of "kill teh core" from his initial post. Also, as much as Montreal might be a road block for this team going forward, I don't want Chiarelli building this team with beating Montreal as its primary objective. From my view, Dalton wants something done to address the struggles against one team. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but turning a bad loss against the Habs into some major team building flaw is a bit of an overreaction to me.

I am so glad I turned off the game. I might have smashed my TV if I heard that.
What a bunch of classless assholes. Congrats on winning the Eastern Conference last year guys! Oh, wait...
Nothing in my initial post indicates they should blow it all up. I just said they sucked. Given the high standards they've created in the Claude Julien era, they effectively suck. And even when everyone returns, they don't have enough talent to beat Montreal. Their defense, beyond Chiara and Sidenberg (when they are both healthy), is pedestrian. (Edit: Dougie Hamilton, anybody? Forgot him....) My impression is that since 2011 the Bruins have regressed while their main competition in the East and West has gotten better. And it galls me to see Montreal rise up again and skate circles around a slow Bruins team. So without a trade -- and I have no idea how they engineer one given the current roster here and in the minors they pull one off -- this team will be bitched slapped by the really good teams.MiracleOfO2704 said:
Hah. Good points. Guess I had a bad day. I thought the Pats were toast after the Chiefs game, too.
