NESN homers like no other in the league. The absolute worse bag lickers.

On the slash of the stick on their PP for the Bruins that's at least interference. No reason to bother doing that. It was just a dumb undisciplined penalty. Say no more.

Listening to them & they fans you’d think the Bruins should never get a penalty. Not even way back Marchand in 2011 after the whistle lol

Philly 2-0 in the 3rd over the Wings.
That game has some big standings ramifications.

Of course, the only way they've been able to win this year is to ratchet up the score.

I am certainly not going to be fooled by the end of the season surge of wins, but it seems like they have been decent all year round putting the puck in the net.

What I like most so far this year is the new names on the roster. Need to change two more and I will be happy.

I need NH to tell me which young Dman do we trade our first round pick for this year.

My take is it was always there & BB struggled to find it often enough. The RT bump is a help but I rather look at it as they seem more structured & playing together much better. That I’ll attribute to the new coaches & then the players buying in. They had last season that proved they had it in them. So blame is spread around between BB & the players.

Yes about 2 players away from being a serious PO team every year. Tops is another top 4 D to steady team D & the PK. The 3C has to be found that can be a shutdown & offer some offense. Back up goalie also but that is an easy get.

Cap juggling 1st to allow adds has to be the priority. Trades or whatever but it will one very interesting offseason & lots of fuel for the fanbase to go nutbar over 🤪

My boy Connor Lockhart scores 8 seconds into the game. My 2 year dark horse.

Just one other prospect that wasn’t high profile we have in the system.

Prospect pool is deeper than what fans know or think. Might not be shiny high picks but looking like good depth at the least in upcoming seasons. Never know who blossoms in the AHL when they go there. At worst they’ll push bottom 6 & 3rd pairing D. Important to have competition for those jobs.

I'm going to base this team's progress on how they do next season with meaningful games. I agree about not being fooled. I saw all kinds of positives last season during that lengthy hot run which this one is just a shadow of in comparison. Too many times this team plays their best hockey in meaningless games.

Big win by the Flyers, Tyson Foester playing really well. Building a winning culture there, just like the Canucks!!

Yup I agree. My problem is slow starts to seasons. Just don’t see why it happens to the degree it has. Tells me coaching & players weren’t ready. Training camps be where I point my finger. When the PK can suck that badly it is all on coaches. Ya tending was horrible but they were hung out to dry a lot also.

If RT is serious & the players given a list of offseason to do’s & they act like pros & go hard it that is a great start. Everyone should be in mandatory top condition. Many to hit the weights & skating coaches.

I have given up on BB scoring, but I will say I think he plays a smart two-way game. I think he will finish again around 55 points. I guess what I am saying is I don't want to rush a Boeser trade. If there is ever a very good return for him, you take it but he has chemistry now with Miller and even on a down year will score 15 goals.

I have said it a few times I would not screw much with the forward group. I think having Mikheyev back and Garland with Boeser is a very decent tier 2 set of forwards.

I don't care personally who the Canucks draft if it is after number 10 so if you can get someone like a Romanov, I would be okay with trading that pick. I still like Graves and he is young enough still for a five year deal.

Not familiar with him. I haven't watched a lot of hockey this year so I will leave it up to you Mini and Reuby.

I think I sort of get what they are doing with prospects. Like you said nothing shiny but serviceable.
