I will say that Bergeron and Krejci are kinda hamstringing the team at this point. If they both say they are done then there will be nobody out there to replace them with. This is so unlike Bergeron I would love to know the truth. Not surprised if he really wants to play and willing to again go through all the risk that’s involved but not crazy about having to take a bullshit discounted, incentive laden contract because the GM’s an asshat. Also it might mean close friends/ teammates will have to pay the price for his decision. Then despite what he’s said there’s the whole free agent opportunity as well. No easy decision.

I listened to Sweeney’s presser on YouTube this morning and the more I hear him speak the more I think he’s not the guy for us. He did sound particularly frustrated yesterday to me. I got a feeling he was probably hoping to announce a Bergeron or Krejci signing and he couldn’t get it done. It just seems like several media outlets had us signing Krejci yesterday and they’ve been saying for awhile that Bergeron’s deal is essentially done. Where’s this coming from because none of it’s true. If we start the season with Zacha and Coyle as #1 and #2 we’re done. Also no way Pasta signs an extension with that kind of lineup in his future. I think Donny’s job is hanging by a thread. Unfortunately I think his ploy of using the media to pressure Bergy and Krejci failed miserably my thoughts on Sweeney like most has run it’s course time to move on . I’m afraid of the damage he’s going to do this year.

I put zero stock in any of these bullshit apologies that these organizations hand out. They all must have the same handbook. Step 1 is to hide and coverup the act and never let it get out. Step 99 is the last resort which they hope never happens, damage control followed by a scripted insincere apology. When step 1 doesn’t include owning up and facing the music then you already have your priorities mixed up.

Boys, is it remotely possible that Sweeney needs to clear cap space in order to resign Bergeron and sign Krejci?? Fuck we all feel the same about Sweeney but this is getting old, really old!!!

Could be, but they can go way over the cap as long as they are under it when the season starts. So no real reason to hold back now.

He’s got till September exactly, then he also will have LTIR , And he can also use bonuses which won’t effect the cap till next year . In other words no excuses.

Patrice Bergeron reached out to Pavel Zacha after the trade.
Zacha: "... how nice he was and welcoming and telling me that he’s going to meet me at camp and he’s excited to talk to me. ... I’m just excited to meet him in person and talk to him.”
Kinda sounds like PB is back.

Damn...if nothing else, DS is a king of the word salad. My old man used to say to some people, 'How can you talk so much, but say so little?' I get it, he really can't answer some of these questions, but good Lord, these convoluted replies. Nobody does a word salad like you’re VP . That is a %100 Correct statement & I will NOT elaborate on it because I do NOT want to get booted outta here!! But thank you saying it!!!!

I didn't read the complete article but what occurred? I don't remember hearing much about it down here in lower 48. I read the one further down. I did not see the list of current NHL players accused in the inquirer.

He’s got till September exactly, then he also will have LTIR , And he can also use bonuses which won’t effect the cap till next year . In other words no excuses. What's frustrating me so much and likely the rest of you is: How many times did Sweeney say Bergeron was very close to resigning and also same story with Krejci?? I know the media blows everything out of proportion but Sweeney is feeding the media just the menu they like and Bruin fans are left hanging on and wondering what the fuck is going on!! I've been saying all along that Bergeron will return and I'm pretty sure thay'll happen, not so sure about DK..But this teasing the fans and saying we're hours from signing both players turns out to be false because they're still unsigned..Irratating as hell for us diehards who follow every Bruins move..I hope for the sake of us all that Sweeney explains HONESTLY what's going on with Bergeron, Krejci and of course Pastrnak which seems to be going same route with regards to where they stand according to DS..

It actually came from NHL Network BUT I have post removed Kevin Weekes has been spouting the Krejci back to Boston stuff for days. I keep saying he hasnt quoted a source. Everyone is looking for clicks and follows... I actually think Bergeron is coming back (which I didn't think was going to happen), and I think thats why they axed Cassidy.

Same here KOvs, I always anticipated a return from him for at least another season and maybe Krejci too BUT Sweeney needs to make up his freaking mind..I dunno, I guess they know more on both players but really taking their time, frustrating as hell for us Bruin fans..Great hearing from you and Hope you are well and life is treating you good..Are you still into Yoga?? Enjoy the summer and hope to hear from you again very soon!

I agree %200 with your thoughts!! (even if your brain is livening in that desert heat sweetie!) Why would he send msg to Haula's trade to partner welcome to team. see you @ camp??

It’s another black eye on hockey culture. The high school jocks around here are no different. Mob mentality, full of adrenaline and when they’re celebrating something they need serious supervision. The vast majority know better but they’re ultra cocky and they don’t think about the fallout in the moment.

Three sources who claim to have seen a video allegedly showing a half dozen players having non-consensual sex with a woman during the 2003 tournament in Halifax told me they would testify in private before a govt committee. Paille and Campbell were on that team back then .
