Bruins Weirdos

[eepstein0]

This team is built to contend for a Stanley Cup for (easily) the next half a decade. Don't blow up the future just for Zach ****ing Parise.

You say that as if Parise isn't an excellent hockey player...

And they aren't really blowing it up by trading a good prospect, a middling one with a 2nd line ceiling and a likely back end first round pick for one of the top wingers in the NHL.

The Bruins thrive on not having "that guy" on offense. It makes me nervous that he'd "Kovulchuk" this team. Parise is clearly a good player, but salary wise he's going to demand a ton of money

I assumed (perhaps erroneously) that parise won't command Ilya-money. Unless he puts up another 90+ point season this year (very unlikely), I think the question of whether he is still a franchise player will follow him. I could see him getting Richards-money, unless he goes off in the final 3/4 of this season, in which case he will undoubtedly command more.

Another rumor that keeps coming up--but is probably entirely speculative--is Rick Nash. Like Parise, he has the skill-set that the Bruins are presumed to covet. And, it has been reported that the Blue Jackets have inquired about Tuukka. As long as the Bruins have a star-in-waiting riding the bench (I believe Rask led the NHL in GAA two years ago; if not, he was close), these rumors will persist. As a hockey fan, it would be slightly sad to see that potentially excellent Nash/Carter line broken up so soon, however. That's probably the only thing that franchise has going for it right now.

Boudreau was finally canned.

Boudreau was finally canned.

Anyone see lurking?

Dale Hunter is certainly going to...slash...all the stereotypes of the old Caps teams.

Quand la police de Montréal enquête sur Max Pacioretty?

3 years, $5.25M AAV extension for Krejci. Yeah, this team is built pretty well for the next few years.

The Bruins are very very good.

I love after the Caps fire BB then the Ducks hire him less than a week later.

The first few pages of this thread is hilarious. The kessel love was funny then and funny now. If you asked buconvict if he would take kessel and his continued development or this deep ass machine of a team I really think he'd still rather have kessel.

I was very, very high on Dennis Wideman and Paille That turned out well.

Well actually it did as it led to the B's acquiring Horton and Campbell and then signing Derek Morris who turned into Dennis Seidenberg, who is all that is man and Paille has become an awesome 4th liner who can stop pucks with his face.

Paille is fine. Wideman, not so much.

Well I'm high on Wideman now because of who his suck led to as well as how his suck led to the banishment of OJ from this site last May.

I miss OJ in this thread. That's why I tried to bate his return via free EA boards a few weeks ago. Sucky posters are good for EO. There, I said it.

I feel like this thread should be locked on this page in order to properly honor one Michael Ryder for all his great and polarizing contributions to the Bruins.

Agreed.

There should be an annual Bruins weird0s thread.

Lock this bitch & send it to the HOF

We have to get to at least 77 pages.

So I guess I was wrong about the Bs being metaphorically fat.

I was going to post giving da Broons for bouncing back from their predictable Oct start (I was also going to comment on OJ's Caps & the best player in the world but I refrained).

I think this is the perfect place to discuss Claude Giroux.

I'm not sure whom you're baiting, as there are no Detroit or Pens fans here.

Nobody. I think that, at the moment, Claude Giroux is the best player on the planet. I don't think he'll sustain it but dammit if I can't give him his due.

He's awesome. I know you've given him props in the past, but don't sleep on Datsyuk.

Datsyuk is probably my favorite non-Bruin and truly a magician with the puck (without too), as evidenced by the filth that was his regulation and SO goals against Boston, but that Giroux is just so hot right now.

Apparently Barnaby might get deported.

[bignick33]

That was excellent. Adolfo is the gift that keeps on giving. I love that his idea of a Canadian accent is to talk like a leprechaun.

For some reason Adolfo is currently occupying a Boston Market.

Ovechkin speared Chris Neil last night. But he's still not cheap. He just plays really, really, really hard.

[claver2010]

Even sportscenter showed it last night early. It was probably Ovechkin trying SO hard he was trying to gain SO much momentum that his stick accidently caught a Sens player.
