What would you do if you where in charge of the Boston Bruins?
I think Cam is dreaming if he thinks we will go deep in the playoffs
They built this team on a faulty premise .. that big and slow is the winning formula, and they're terribly wrong. For that, Sweeney et al deserve all the opprobrium.
the change they need is to start selling the farm, and rebuild from the ground up. there isnt but a few i would keep long term.
Well, there you have it. All those who dreamed Sweeney and Neely would somehow get the shove can settle in for a retool/rebuild under the watchful gaze of the duo that brought you what should've been a potentially foundational THREE first rounders in 2015. Let that sink in. Despite the pleas, I doubt anyone really believed they'd be removed, did they? As soon as Smithers Jacobs spoke of how many years the club made the playoffs under Sweeney, my translation was "CHA-CHING!!" That's all that matters regardless of what he and Neely say about hearing the fans and sharing in fans' frustrations. Those are soundbites like the ones delivered by MLSE (I live in the GTA.) at the end of another unsuccessful playoff go meant to ingratiate themselves with paying customers. For a club that's won so many regular season games during their tenure, shouldn't there be another Bruins championship(s) along the way? They've had a decade to translate regular season success to playoffs success, the goal they claim is of the utmost importance and haven't done so. In Jamaica, we had an old-time saying that goes "Finger never say 'suh.' (Points blame to oneself.) Finger say 'suh.' (Points blame away from oneself.) That's Sweeney and Neely.
The Only way Neely & Sweeney get canned is if they miss the playoffs, 🎉 The Jacobs LOVE their playoff money ! Then RUN don't Walk to grab Shawn Thornton as President!!! 😂
I think 🤔 it's time for new blood, goodbye Cam, hello Thornton 👋
I think you should contact Boston Bruins management and apply for Don Sweeny job.
Or at least be an advisor. Your seem to see the writing on the wall 🧱 why can't Bruins management see it! Another get video 🏒🥅🇨🇦
If the b’s trade Marchy, I’m gonna check out of being a fan for a bit.
If I owned the B's. Don would be gone on day one. Cam would be moved into an alumni position. A dedicated rebuild would begin, and I would trade our "older" key pieces for picks.
Oh, and we would wear gold socks again.
This team lacks a clear plan and direction. Fire Sweeney and Neely, the entire scouting staff and every coach except for goalie Bob. These idiots will probably trade poitras, a first and more for a 32 yr old loser having a bad season aka Miller or Kreider. This team needs to get off the NE ncaa train and start getting nhl not ahl players.
Thornton sounds like an interesting option… I still go back to crawling to Julien to coach for a couple of years. He was always able to make a make out of scrubs by focusing on defense. Maybe with Thornton in house could talk with him. I wish I knew more coaches that play a defensive style to get a lot out of lower tier players.
the Jacobs wont do anything unless they miss the playoffs multiple years in a row. they value $$$ above all else and the playoff revenue is massive for them. for example as a STH, FV for a regular season game is 100 for example, first round would be 160, second round is 240 and up and up it goes. the jacobs are happy as long as they are making money.
While I love and respect both Sweeny and Neely as players, they now have to bear the brunt of the blame for the downtrodden state the team is in now. I think they threw everything they had onto the table in that incredible record-breaking season they had, but with Bergeron's retirement, Krejci gone, and the dynamic duo of Ullmark and Swayman no more, the team is broken and in disarray with no leadership and a roster full of lackluster players. I wouldn't be terribly opposed to a complete gutting and rebuilding for the future. And that included the brass.
Love Cam the player. A BEAST. A WRECKING MACHINE. As a president not so much. Handing out large contracts WITH no trade or movement clauses is coming back to bite them in the rear. I hate the no trade clause period but tie it to a hard cap handcuffs the team.
Hypothetical scenario: New President and GM…. Besides the mentioning of Thorty, who are other candidates? Just saying firing someone or people without a clear succession plan…..Who?🐻
Sweeney should not be fired unless there is more actual cause. He has been given the reins to be GM of Team Canada for 4 Nations and to be the asst. GM for the freaking Olympics for a reason. There was a perfect storm of bad stuff that happened leading into this season: Swayman drama, 3 of our top 6 (Pasta, Marchy, Elias) dealing with injuries/missing camp, Monty waiting to fired so he could go to St. Louis. Add to the pile that the rest of the roster was inexplicably underperforming all at once other than the 4th line, two of whom were new. How was anyone supposed to anticipate that so much of our (ostensibly) healthy roster would have career lows simultaneously to open the season? Most of them had played for us last year!
2015 was 10 years ago, folks need to get over it. It is not Sweeney's fault that the 22-23 team/Monty bungled the Panthers series. It was the right time to go all in if ever there was one. Let's not pretend Bruins fans would actually have the stomach for a true rebuild even if we COULD rebuild. You want to be basement levels of suck for like a decade? No thank you.
I liked what Razor had to say about player development and the draft.
I hope you’re right about the Brazeau Frederick overpay chances. Big, Hard hitting and highly unskilled has worked for us once in 50 years. (2011 cup). And that was mostly because Tim Thomas had one of the greatest performances in NHL history.
Sinden destroyed the Bruins by getting rid of all of the stars in the early 70s to keep payroll down as that was what the owners wanted. He then did it again in the 80s when we had Bourque and he would not invest in enough high end talent to put them over the top to win a cup.
That culture has stuck with the Bruins for decades. Run high end talent out of town as fast as we can.
but Thornton has no experience in hockey operations. i personally think everyone will get a pass except Sacco. they have should have won more cups on Neely's watch. people have disagreed with me, but there was absolutely no reason they lost to St.Louis. who had the second worse record the first half of the season. plus losing three games at home. the hottest coaching name out there is David Caryle. in the last few years, two National Championships at Denver, and recently lead the US to back to back gold medals at the World Juniors. if he decides to go to the NHL, i do not think he would want anything to do with the dumpster fire the Bruins became. plus he worked for Montgomery at Denver. i am sure Montgomery has any positives things to say about the organization, mainly Neely and Sweeney.
Jacobs is smoking something. Sweeny conceded on numerous occasions that the roster is INCOMPLETE!!
You are wrong. Sweeney drafts have left super talented players available for other teams to draft. Lack of talent identification is exemplified by the 3 consecutive first rounders that missed.
We lost the grit. The old Marchi grit. He has matured, and earned his mettle. But who is coming behind him? Where is the grit? Freddi? Pasta needs a guy like Marchi was to Bergi. We came close in 23 but I think Monty shit the bed by not playing Swayman. I don’t think Monty was all bad but he wasn’t a grit coach. Neely and Sweeney both had grit and need to source talent that has same. I see glimpses of good puck battles but we seem to be loosing too many. I also don’t see the D carrying well out of the zone. Mcavoy seems to be on vacation when it comes to carrying it out. I used to enjoy his rushes and deep runs. I can go on about these little things that just manifest in inconsistent play.
Bottom line is they need to scout some “energy with grit” to get them all fired back up. I feel Marchi has earned his badge and shouldn’t t have to carry that load now. He has given us enough and gives us enough. but we need some fresh blood.
Ownership will not move Cam or Don, and they are wise to leave them as the leadership..Anyone want to be Chicago?
In kinda liking Chara lite. Bergy lite is invisible offensively.
Frederic sucks
