No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

[MyNameIsJonas]

Lybushkin and Edmundson were brought in to counter the big bad Bruins.

They are going to play so much

Those three did nothing tonight.

Because it's April, the month where those 3 usually stop doing anything productive.

Like all 12 months in your case.

Isn't it just top 10 protected?

True. The pick they sent to San Jose is top 10 protected.

Right now they could end up with 1.5% or 2% chance at the lottery. If they win the lottery they move up to top 5 and keep that pick.

Don't shoot the messenger. Shoot the coach.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Don't shoot the messenger. Shoot the coach.

The messenger isn’t delivering anybody’s message, just self-serving trash talk.

You haven't beaten the Bruins in a playoff series since 1959. In the 6 series you've played since, the Bruins have beaten you 24 games to 10. And this season they beat you in all 4 games.

None of that is trash talk. Those are statistical truths. So is the lack of adequate production in the post season by the usual suspects in blue and white.

the good news is that the nerdies are convinced that the bruins are pretty much all goaltending.

and both their goalies have been utter shit in the playoffs.

They were my preference over Florida. Let’s exorcise that demon, finally.

Most of the players from the 1959 squads are retired

Bruins forward group is shit, shit, shit.

Bruins forward group is shit, shit, shit.

Marchand starting his decline kind of murdered their top 6. But they do have 3 lines of guys who can put the puck in the net, so there's that.

with us only able to rest 1 forward tonight at most (if we go 11/7), i'd be resting Tavares instead of Matthews anyways.

Kampf, he need some rest before he get his 21 min a night

Which if Edmundson or Lybushkin is going to be on the shut down Pasta pair?

What do you mean which one?

I'm assuming our line vs them is

Dewar-kampf-gregor
Boosh-edmunson

Worse chances of shutting down Pasta than the handful of Italians protesting outside an Olive Garden

Find me an Italian who doesn't love unlimited soup/salad and garlic sticks and I'll find you a liar.

They do indeed, just not from there.

Also, neither soup, salad, or garlic sticks are pasta

So in the end, the team overall:

- Offense: Elite
- Defense: Average
- Goalies: Below Average to Poor


It's also true that the post-Klingberg leafs were better than average defensively, but still only enough to fall into the "Above Average to Good" category in the borderline-10th zone, not near the elite.
