@DuckboatSports @TfortierTyler @BruinsNetwork Adin Hill also won a championship on a cheap contract as well.

Tuukka Rask and his career .925 save percentage in the playoffs is far from the reason the Bruins didn’t win a cup in 2013 and 2019. Both years he carried them to the end. I get your point though…a random goalie making the league minimum had a good 3.5 game stretch so let’s just throw out all data that supports the idea that elite goalies help win championships.

Bussi was significantly outperformed by DiPietro their last year in Providence and he had the same .895 Sv% as Korpisalo except on a contender. Should have gotten a shot, but was unremarkable in the 2024 preseason. I’ll be more upset if DiPietro doesn’t get a look now. #NHLBruins

@EveythingIsJoke @charlieINTEL They're getting rid of the rot of the company that destroyed them. This is good news

@charlieINTEL Xbox is falling apart. Xbox fans keep telling me otherwise though.

The head of Xbox Games Studio, Craig Duncan, has stepped down [via The Game Business]

@charlieINTEL We won't miss him

@TfortierTyler @DuckboatSports @BruinsNetwork They lost because Eichel and Marner went ghost the last 3 games

@DuckboatSports @CShredwards @BruinsNetwork We just watched a team lose the Stanley Cup because their goalie sucked and their coach is a dip shit

@DuckboatSports @TfortierTyler @BruinsNetwork How many cups did "the king" Lundquist win? How about Tuuka Rask?

@CShredwards @TfortierTyler @BruinsNetwork So you’re saying put goalies in net that are basically lottery tickets so you can have more money to spend on free agents? For every team that has ever worked for there are 10 teams that crashed and burned because they didn’t have a real goalie in net.

@popokarpingle @worldhockeyrpt @kewi75 He hasn't had 90 points in three years. He also scored a measly 26 goals in his last full season. Hes not even a talented goal scorer. 42 goals his highest he's ever had in a season and that was an outlier in his data set

@CShredwards @worldhockeyrpt @kewi75 90 point pace and good defense while dealing with injuries means he's "not that guy anymore" lmao?? Over a ppg in the playoffs with 2 cups and 3 appearances to his name. Superstar when healthy

Carolina is going to join 2019 St. Louis as the only teams the last 15 years to not have a superstar and win the cup. Rare feat.

@bromtheB @BruinsNetwork Hall should have been a long time member of our top 6 forwards and his body of work shows it. Maybe this wouldn't be a combo if Sweeny could draft literally anyone above AHL level

@CShredwards @BruinsNetwork We weren’t closer to winning a cup once Bergeron and Krecjinwere done, so that trade is whatever…. What I WILL say, is they absolutely have to trade Korpisalo now. DiPietro has proven he will be a more than capable backup to Swayman.

@anthshiesty @Jessemedscience And since that core has retired he's failed to put a good team on the ice. Priotizing Debrusk and Forbort over Hall was terrible

@CShredwards @Jessemedscience Yes that’s usually how it works GMs inherit old cores. The depth was built by Sweeney let’s not act obtuse here

Friendly reminder that Don Sweeney and Cam Neely have spent the last decade stuffing the ‘blue-collar’ blueprint down your throat — built around reclamation projects, bombed drafts, and the inability to develop their own prospects All while blowing right through the careers of Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, David Krejci, Tuukka Rask, and Zdeno Chara… If they’re not careful, Pastrnak, Swayman, and McAvoy are next. #NHL #BRUINS #NHLBRUINS

@anthshiesty @Jessemedscience You just dis-proved you're on point. Only two big players were drafted by Sweeny? Yikes. So he inherited all of his best players from Chiarelli. The guy can't draft and the body of work shows he can't

@Jessemedscience But those two seasons alone invalidate your points entirely. Two big players during the 2019 near cup run were drafted by Sweeney. If you get to game 7 of a cup final win or lose, the last thing you should be attacking is the roster construction. He’s given us competent rosters.

@TfortierTyler @DuckboatSports @BruinsNetwork Save them money to use on other players to have a better team

@CShredwards @DuckboatSports @BruinsNetwork So what was he going to do for the bruins?

@awayfromhomemm @Bos88Enjoyer @KyleMosca1 Or how about this...you dont trade him and trade someone else like Debrusk and forbort

@Bos88Enjoyer @KyleMosca1 He was also heading into UFA. It was more of a trade to have first rights to sign him before free agency began. History shows you’re not getting a great return for those types of trades.

Like you’re really telling me that all you could’ve gotten for Hall was 2 AHL players???

@bromtheB @BruinsNetwork What's more egregious is trading Hall away to keep Debrusk and forbort

@BruinsNetwork I knew Bs fans were going to be insufferable about this.

@DuckboatSports @BruinsNetwork He won three Stanley cup finals games including a road win in game 6 to win the cup. Investing in the team around the goalie is always better than dropping all your money into am overpaid goal tender

@BruinsNetwork The amount of people peacocking about Bussi is hilarious. He won three games in the playoffs.

@popokarpingle @worldhockeyrpt @kewi75 That was from 2021-2023. His last full season he played when healthy he had 88 points and 26 goals. His numbers keep falling every year in every category. You can blame it on injury or the more obvious which is he's just not that guy anymore

@CShredwards @worldhockeyrpt @kewi75 Back to back 100+ point seasons and a top 3 hart finish when healthy isn't a superstar?? 😂

@RP3sViews @_TyAnderson Traded away to keep Debrusk and Forbort

@CShredwards @_TyAnderson Or you could be a normal person and be happy for Hall and understand that the Bruins traded Taylor Hall 3 years ago, he was since traded again and ultimately re-signed at a cap AAV half of what it was here to play for a loaded team and win a cup.

Three years later, an even better chance for Taylor Hall. And he's delivered. Happy for Taylor Hall (and Brandon Bussi!) Straight-up good dudes.

@KILLTOPARTY @briant_bear The Jenners actually have a small air valve located under the left cheek for inflation/deflation

@AngryBruinsBear He's one of the best power skaters in the lead and was far better of a forward than over half of what Sweeney has been sending out there

Happy for Taylor Hall, always liked the dude, had his up and downs, little soft at times, but the skill was there when he wanted it.. still has one of the hardest nastiest wrist shots I've ever seen when he wants to rip it

@worldhockeyrpt Taylor Hall was an absolute beast for the Canes this season. Criminally underrated. One of the best power skaters in the game currently

@worldhockeyrpt @kewi75 Tkachuck is not a superstar

@kewi75 They have 3 of them

@IceColdH0ckey @Halbeard1747 @_TyAnderson The point is you don't need to overpay for goaltending good enough to win a cup the team in front of them is more important and the bruins have done a very shit job at that including letting Taylor Hall walk

@CShredwards @Halbeard1747 @_TyAnderson Adin Hill won a cup and he makes less money than Swayman. Should we play him instead?
