The mess that is...Boston

just wow..Things are falling apart.

There's rumors of trading just about everyone on the team except Savard.
I don't mind a trade as long as they don't include any 1st round pick.
There's also talk of either Chiarelli or Julien's could lose their jobs.

I say Lose the rest of the games and try to get 2 of the top 5 picks in this yrs draft.
That would be EPIC!

Way too talented a team to be playing that bad. I'm sure one down season will do nothing but improve them for next year.

Ugh, please don't remind me. It's been PAINFUL watching the most of the season.

I hear Ryder is on the block, but I don't see guys like Savard, Bergeron, Lucic or Chara going anywhere...hell, I'd actually rather see them trade Thomas and keep Rask!

The sad part is, this is in NO WAY management's fault. I think Chiarelli has actually put together a solid team, and Julien's a good coach...this team just cannot put the puck in the net, and that's been the issue since Day 1. If they could score goals, they'd be near the top of the standings with the way their defense plays.

They need to go out and trade for a time-line scorer...

it pains me to say this but there is no need to trade any of the top players away. the Bruins will be fine and will prove that next season plus you still have Toronto's number one pick for this summer's draft.

I do however agree with Sly that if they can unload Tim Thomas that would be a smart move or at least make him the backup and let Rask finish out the season as the starter. it's working in Detroit for Jimmy Howard.

Well, I was in attendance for today's debacle...

43 more shots on net. 10-12 more quality chances that completely missed the net (including a Sturm breakaway that would have made it 3-0). Once Vancouver scored that first goal, the entire building deflated.

And defense/goaltending is absolutely not the problem. Both goals were direct results of Lucic mental errors. You know, the Lucic with 3 goals in 30 games that no one wants to trade....

It's more disappointing to see what New Jersey gave up for Kovy, and think that the Bruins couldn't match that.
