Quoting: Bcarlo25
I don’t know what PDO is, but Pastrnak has scored at somewhat similar rates. 38 in 65ish games last year. It’s a far cry from 48 in 70 but its not an insane difference. Your big gap in knowledge comes on the defensive side of the puck. Pasta has always been pretty good defensively. He’s never going to win any selkes, but for an elite scoring winger, it’s about as good as you’re ever going to get.
Chara’s replacement in terms of a shut down D is already on the team.
Who’s going to replace Tuukka? Um. Tuukka. I’ll worry about 2025 when it’s 2025.
Who’s going to replace Marchand? Doesn’t really seem like he’s slowing down to be honest.
Anyway, the Bruins will be fine. They’re the bruins! The good news for you is that I think it will be at least 3-5 years before there’s another discussion about moving the franchise.
I’m actually thinking about taking some vacation time in the winters and spending a couple months on the outer banks, i might just buy season tickets to the canes. What should i be expecting? Like 200 bucks?
Ohhh, I got it. You don't understand analytics, which is why you dismiss them, got it.
No one is replacing Chara right now... that ability is not going to be fixed with anyone on the blueline right now.
Marchand's scoring is up, but his defence is down, increased xGA over the last 3 years, he's committing to his scoring because his defence has gotten worse. All it's gonna take is one hit on Marchand like the Subban hit, where he gets really banged up, and Marchand could lose it. The way Marchand is playing is incredibly fragile. It really does speak to how talented he is that he's able to do it, the rat.
Tuukkaa has gotten worse in each of the past, what 4 season? He's slowing down, you wanna keep starting him? It'll be a rebound to the days of mediocrity. You know before 2011 when it had been 40 years without a cup win?
I don't know if you're forgetful or didn't pay attention, but one of the major issues Carolina weren't drawing is because tickets were super expensive. A season ticket will cost you nearly $1500, and that's down from what it used to be (depending on seats) so feel free to keep sh*t talking, but... you're just proving that you're not exactly the most intelligent of people.
