On the downside, the Pens relied heavily on JMFJ under Martin

Oh for sure- it was fun seeing him shake things up in a market that defaults to tradition. Especially going after guys like Larry Brooks who is an institution in NY sports journalism but can also be a giant ego-maniac. He took over a team that lost its older leadership group with Jagr and Shanahan and it was nice having a guy willing to stand up and fight for a roster in transition. He also had a lot of success with the Rangers. That being said, his schtick got old pretty quick and his hotheadedness led to some incredibly bizarre roster management, especially when the roster and his style of play became incongruent.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:It really seems like Ward is staying no? Treliving should be making that decision in the next week or two according to Friedman. My guess would be yes, as I think he's signed next year so they'll probably remove the interim tag and see how he does in a full year as they played pretty well under him after the racist shitbag left town. Personally, I think he was outcoached by Bowness in the playoffs, and putting in a goalie who hadn't played in 4-5 months while tied in game 6 was pretty ridiculous... but

Torts definitely hosed with certain guys heads/played favorites with lovely grinders but acab (all coaches are bastards) so it's not unique to Torts. The 2012 rangers that got to the conference finals were my favorite rangers team in recent memory to watch which likely speaks to my lovely taste of preferred style of hockey to watch but in general, I think Torts rules and was a huge apologist for him. I would have given him another season in NY before firing him Also Torts was the only coach man enough to play stu "stu bickel" bickel consistently

Torts took a team with a defense featuring Stu Bickel, Jeff Woywitka, Steve Eminger, and John Scott to the conference finals. To be fair, that defense also had Marc Staal, Dan Girardi, Michael Del Zotto, Michael Sauer, Brendan Bell, and Tim Erixon... Plus McDonagh and Stralman, so he did have some serviceable players.

This Bruins team is NASTY, but it's time for Chara to retire but hopefully stay with the organization. And shoot Ritchie into the sun. Go VGK

that hurt. i know it's irrational fan stuff, but i'm going to have a hard time forgiving rask, even though halak acquitted himself well. the lightning are more talented and it showed. i just wanted chara to win one more with us before he retired. but that chance was last year and we blew it; so it goes.

Petey posted:that hurt. Halak was honestly good enough to get past this series, that's the frustrating part. It was everyone else not stepping up. I don't know what to think about Rask. Could have done without the press conference basically saying he didn't give a gently caress one day before he made his decision. Whatever, we all have our moments at work. I hope he's back next year.

There are 17 NHL teams which were part of the restart that failed to make it past August. The Bruins are one of those loser teams.

This is the beginning of Boston's descent into mediocrity. Bergeron getting old and going to be bad soon. Marchand old and bad. Rask shunned and shipped out. Chara stays on for another 5 years for leadership and making everyone else miserable. Pasternak trade request. bruins bad forever

The Bruins dropping Rask because of a small contingent of mad fans would be extremely 2020. This year must suck for everyone.
