I renewed but I gotta admit, I'm starting to think that $5k a year might be better spent elsewhere. And the ride in from Tewksbury on a Thursday night seems like way more of a pain in the ass today then it seemed last week.The Four Peters said:Anyone canceling their ticket packages this year? We had already decided not to renew but boy am I glad we didn't.
I canceled mine. Only a 10 game pack, but I'm not paying for this dumpster fire.The Four Peters said:Anyone canceling their ticket packages this year? We had already decided not to renew but boy am I glad we didn't.
Burrows, Kaleta, and Lapierre are my list, along with Cooke and Torres. Honestly, I never thought about Rinaldo or Scott because they were so bad I never in a million years thought they'd end up on the Bruins.locknload said:I want off this ride. This is the AJ Pierzynski moment for this Bruins team. I could never get into that Sox team with such an unlike-able prick on it. I fear the same with will happen with Zac. There are only a few other players I could say that about (Cooke, Torres, Scott is all I could come up with). Well has been poisoned.

A lingering issue between Talbot and Rinaldo in Philly maybe?PedroSpecialK said:Apparently Max Talbot requesting a trade is what's next
No, but I'm a stated masochist so the pain will make me feel more alive.The Four Peters said:Anyone canceling their ticket packages this year? We had already decided not to renew but boy am I glad we didn't.
The best is they're going to trade Talbot and retain half his salary for like a conditional 6th.The Four Peters said:A lingering issue between Talbot and Rinaldo in Philly maybe?
Edit: For what it's worth, I'd rather Talbot on this roster 10 times out of 10 over Rinaldo and twice on Sunday, Lt. Weinberg.
Is that even allowed? Colorado is already retaining half, can the new team get him for a quarter of his salary?cshea said:The best is they're going to trade Talbot and retain half his salary for like a conditional 6th.
I was just thinking back to when Homer dismantled the Flyers with a bunch of moves that seemed, on their face, to be exciting/pretty good value/youth-and-skill focused and how it got them nowhere. So, I dunno, don't judge a book by its cover and horrible no good very bad first few chapters? Grasping here, because I don't see any way we look back at this offseason and realize it didn't suck (short of draft pick contributions which are years down the road).j44thor said:Perhaps Sweeney is secretly a genius and playing the long game. With expansion coming up you are going to lose players. Better to stock the bottom of the roster with jags and protect the kids instead of exposing them. Would also explain why they used so many draft picks, you have to assume anyone still on elc will be protected from expansion.
I'm hoping this is the answer and not that the fo thinks it is 1995.
I'm not sure. I'm just setting myself up for the inevitable dump of Talbot, the better player, for less than what they paid for Rinaldo.The Four Peters said:Is that even allowed? Colorado is already retaining half, can the new team get him for a quarter of his salary?
This is where I'm at. I watched through 2005, I watched through 2010, I watched back in the late 90s before I knew any better. There was never a question I was a Bruins fan.MiracleOfO2704 said:So I guess the better question is what do we do, as fans? I know everyone's talking about bailing on their season tickets/10-game packs, but are we the majority or a vocal minority?
I ask because the last thing I want to be accused of being is a fair weather fan, but I don't know if I can invest in this team at all next season.
It's a glorified pep rally now. They used to take real questions a few years ago but now they seek out the kids and girls looking for autographs. I stopped going a few years back.The Napkin said:Ive never been to that sth q&a thing they do with cam and ds but I'm awful tempted to try to go this year. Do they screen the questions or do you just kind of go to a mic and ask?

The way the last 96 hours have gone, it's been such an assault of stupid and misguided philosophy that I can't really muster the anger I did in the aftermath of Friday. I just want it to stop.
