I’m way more worried about the long term status of a defenseman that they just signed for 8 years than I am about the rest of this series.

I wouldn’t be at all shocked if Ottawa was better than the Bruins next year. They’re on the rise.
Buffalo looked like they started to get some things together late in the season. This team's going to be wandering the wilderness for years without Bergeron.

Ullmark has allowed 8 goals on 46 shots. Don’t care where they came from, that is unacceptable. Ullmark finishes this one, Swayman starts Friday.
He is an abomination tonight. He wasn't much better last night.

$11.8m between him, Foligno, and Forbort. $11.8m next year as well. That's all she wrote for Sweeney IMO

I could take some bad years. I’m really afraid they do what Detroit did and held on so long that they had to do a deep, deep dive.

It all depends on who they bring in to buy the groceries honestly. You pick the wrong guy and your Buffalo. You do it right and you can be back in 3 years.

Dude, we all know Donny isn’t going to feel a joule of heat for this, even though he sat on the fence AGAIN, and didn’t make the decisive move he needed to.

Yea, I just saw the hit again on Twitter - and he was out standing up.

His season is done, regardless of how far along the Bruins make it. I hope for his health, his career isn't done as well.

Yea, I'm skeptical that ownership really gives much of a shit. They sell out the place regularly and get a couple playoff gates every year. San Jose Sharks East.

Yeah, but you never know. Hits like that can be funny in the way they look on TV. He might end up as Savard, he might be back for game 3.

I’m not as cynical about the Jacobs as most Bruins fans. I don’t think it’s any more of a holding to them, but I believe most ownership groups are like that.

What they want to see from the people that run any of their businesses is a plan on how to be a more successful brand going forward. If they still believe In Neely’s vision then he’ll stay running the team. If they don’t like what the future looks like then they’ll make a move.

If Frederic doesn’t absolutely fucking run someone, I’d make him walk home.

I dont understand how a hit like that to the chin that knocks a guy out is considered clean.
That's what I don't understand, but I admit I don't watch as much hockey as many around here.

All it took was a look at Lindholm not being able to stand up, to realize he got hit really fucking high.

And now McAvoy is hurt, and DeBrusk gets the penalty.

Maybe I shouldn't watch the B's, I'm apparently bad luck unless I'm at the game with my son (the B's have had a hat trick in 5 straight games he's been to).

He’s absolutely not playing again this season.
I understand your thinking and you are likely to be right because the Bruins are going to have a hard time getting through the weekend, but none the less, I still stand by the basic idea that TV sometimes is deceptive with the impact of hits. And it goes both ways. More importantly, when players get really serious concussions that don't look like major blows on tape I think it is a disservice that we all often sort of 'whatevs' those hits.

I mean, that’s completely fucking embarrassing. Holy shit, your best and second best defensemen get fucked on at least questionable hits, and Jake DeBrusk is the one sticking his nose in there and doing something more than grabbing and face washing.
