I agree ,,, they SUCK!
I'm old time hockey at heart and NO Chara doesn't deserve the "C" on his jersey, he was a new addition to the team and they made him the captain? Whatever happened to earning the "C"? There are guys on the team that deserve it more than he does that's for sure.
They need to get a decent head coach too because Dave Lewis was just mediocre in his good days when he had something to teach. I think Paul Mara should be the next one to go, his head is always in the clouds, lack of heart for most of this team.
Maybe with the new goaltender they'll give Thomas a break and let him rest up, their burning him out. When they give the kid some defense he's a great goaltender but when they go into one of their "funk" modes they leave the guy all alone for the other team to beat up on. You can see the guys beat by the way he's been handling the puck, he's been very iify as of late.
There is 20 games left and they have to win at least 14 to make it to the playoffs (by my guess) and I just don't see it happening ... AGAIN! I could sit and pick them apart all day long watching one of their games, I used to until I realized my blood pressure was worth more to me than letting it rise because of them, they still make their millions regardless of how they play so I just shrug it off and say I'd rather be healthy.
I miss the Bruins website when you could chat with other fans and relieve some stress but ... they even took that away because of all the negative comments and views of the team and it's higher ups. What's the point of having a website if you can't post on it whether it be criticism or praise, maybe get a little feedback from the fans that support them in the long haul. After all isn't that where they get their pay from, fans that buy tickets and such.
Hockey in general has become more of a sissy sport with all the do's and dont's, it's almost like watching figure skating with hockey sticks.
Old time hockey was great ... guys with razor blades on their feet, armed with sticks, trying to embed you into the walls with a check, shooting a 2 pound piece of rubber at you and trying to pick a fight with you at the drop of a hat. Now THAT was hockey!
I'm getting old I guess, so's this rant ... but you started it!
Hey maybe we could put together a team from this site and play them, I'm pretty sure we'd beat them.
Oh, and I pick 10th place in the end.
