And let's not go nuts. Krug's having a shitty couple of weeks but they still need him on the team. Unless you want to go back to looking for that "puck moving defenseman" every fucking year at the deadline again.
 
We already have one who's young and hurt right now. I'd rather have a solid defenseman.
 
Puck went on edge for Rask. Shitty.

Really? I think he's getting 4 at least.


Subban just got $2.8/year coming off a Norris trophy, there is no way Krug gets $4M per.

Subban took WAY below market, and the cap is going up.

I thought Krug's penalty was dumb, Lucic's penalty was kind of horseshit, and Rask's was a bit unlucky. You can make the argument Clode should have used the timeout after Rask's penalty, despite the PP being broken up.

Not by choice, the Habs played hardball and were able to because he was an RFA and nobody in the NHL offer sheets RFAs so teams hold all the leverage. The Bs have Warsofsky and Morrow in the wings and can run out Chara/Hamilton- Seidenberg/Bartkowki-Boychuk/McQuaid if Krug holds out. There is no chance they make him the second-highest paid defenseman on the team. And the RFA compensation for a $4M offer sheet is a first and a third, who is giving that up for Krug?

Bottom line is he's not getting $4M from the Bruins so no need to worry about Chia overpaying him.

He used the timeout at the 6 minute mark on an icing with the Providence line + Miller on the ice.

He needs a phantom injury to skip the Olympics


Just play Johnson for a week, they're not going to miss the playoffs.

Probably give Krug a game on the 9th floor when Hamilton is healthy.

Come on he hit him 10 feet from the boards.

Yeah the west coast trip is going to be a shitshow. Just hope to get healthy and keep pace in the division.

They need to get these games and points because points will be at a premium in the next few weeks.
I'm pretty sure they 'll show up against the good teams. They didn't come to play tonight. Chalk it up to a learning experience.

This was an awful game. Good first period but things just fell apart after that. Wonder if the injuries have now caught up with this team.
