The only saving grace is that we only get to worry about a heavy team in the finals and by then it's whoever has the most healthy lineup on deck still. Last night was hard to watch with Beauchemin with a hard crosscheck to Bjorks’s arm and while Backes tried to engage him nothing happened. Then later Backes gets filled in and no response. Then Chara finally steps up and the Officials quash that .. When teams injure a Rookie I think your antenna’s need to go up and look for any opportunity to return the favour either by a big hit on their Rookie or Beauchemin .. If McQuaid or Miller can hear Me do something next time and don’t Leave to Chara all the time. The only thing I will say is that it didn't look like much. It looked like a normal shot (cross check) you see 20 times a game but Bjork's broken arm says otherwise. I agree with you though, that's why you defend your teammate, if he's hurt you assume the worst whether you saw it or not.

Absolutely, exactly like that. Sticking up for each other sometimes is more important than winning sometimes especially with Young Guys..

That is such a lame context to try to write an article on. There's not a GM in world who couldn't do better if they were able to go back in time 2 years and redo their draft with what they know today. Zboril and Senyshen are being developed in the minors. Nobody knows yet whether they will prove to be good or bad picks.

.... and now for something completely different. It's 1904 and time to showcase the Good Old U S of A to the world. Let's roll up a 100 year Anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase with the World's Fair and the Summer Olympics into one big ass huge event. This podcast lasts over an hour, but offers no shortage of WTF moments.... thedollop.libsyn.com/150-james-sullivan-and-the-1904-olympic-games-live

I know I shouldn't respond to these things but for the Great Islanders who picked Barzal at 16th and to the Great Canaucks that picked Boeser at 23rd I say, where were the Isles in 2014 when they picked Michael Dal Colle at 5th when we got Pastrnak at 25th and where the Canucks in 2016 when they Olli Juolevi 5th and we got Charlie McAvoy at 14th. Anyway our drafting is better than most.

I could live with Zboril, Czarnik and a 1st for McDonagh. Get on the phone Donny and make it happen.

This last part of the Article is so true other teams Bolts Vegas Nashville etc will all be looking to add for a deep run .. A cupboard overflowing with prospects and a team that wants to compete and win should be all the motivation general manager Don Sweeney needs to call Jeff Gorton in New York and make an offer before the Tampa Bay Lightning swoop in and acquire McDonagh instead.

Yup. Get it done now if that is their target. Do not wait. And how can anyone forget how the Rangers got him in the first place. Him and Chris Higgins for the well overpaid Scott Gomez, and while Rags were just trying to rid themselves of the contract..Would be a great pickup no doubt..

Can't seem to open that page but I think that's too much, plus we push Krug back and Grz out. I'd work Krug into the deal somehow or maybe back away.

Can't seem to open that page but I think that's too much, plus we push Krug back and Grz out. I'd work Krug into the deal somehow or maybe back away. Ryan McDonagh actually has more points than Rick Nash..Ryan has 2 goals 24 assists for 26 pts while Nash played 5 more games {53} and only has 25 points..I would go nowhere close to Nash, rather have the Nash we have.. What concerns me is anything/anyone affecting team chemistry. Plus there's 7/8 nhl ready players in Providence and Miller is sitting out his 3rd{?}straight game. Miller is way way to good to be sitting..Personally I see absolutely no need at this moment to make a trade, much less a big one like this ..Bruins are 1st in Goals Against with an extra defender in Miller, and 4th in Goals Per Game Average. Some players are gonna need some rest before the playoffs begin, and that's where our depth comes in..The damn schedule could really affect us as we once again have played less games than every one else..

I agree 100%. The thing that concerns me right now is how much Rask is playing. I know he's hot, but we know from the past he gets tired. We have banked a lot of points lately, give Rask a break. Keep him fresh.

Great points. I'm still upset we traded Mark Stuart in 2011. lol There's something to be said for going with the guys that got us here. We do have plenty of depth.

Butch has done a good job managing the Players in and out of the line up when needed. McQuaid sat while healthy for a few weeks without a word and when given the opportunity he has looked better than ever . We only have two D Men who have played all 51 games so far Chara and Carlo so I would expect Butch to give them some rest down the stretch.
Rask has played the least amount of games of any of the top Goalies in the league and I’m not against keeping it that way so he is rested for the post season..
