Description
I purposely waited a few days to digest the reactionary efforts from Bruins fans and general hockey fans and here’s what I had surmised…everyone forgot that the Bruins exceeded expectations from last year and that was because Sweeney provided Monty what he needed to get them to the playoffs. They even made it to round 2! (I had picked the Leafs in 7). Why are so many fans so quick to overhaul this whole team? Why have so many given up on DeBrusk? Why give up on the tandem? Why is everyone convinced that E Lindholm is signing with the Bruins? Sweeney seems to be able to do more with less after the team failed him last year by doing less with more. Maybe he takes a different approach allowing the coach to mould this team into a contender! And Swayman should definitely get more than Rask’s last contract!!

bruins fans are about 10% awesome and 90% reactionary blow hards that have no idea what they're talking about. sports talk radio has ruined this fanbase.

Only thing about retaining Ullmark next year is that Bussi needs waivers so we'd lose him (via waivers or trade). That would be unfortunate as they will more than likely not be signing Ullmark to a back up goalie contract at the end of next year. Bussi would be a cheap backup for a few years.

This is 100 percent true the Bruins fanbase and the other Boston sports fans in general are ridiculously ignorant and reactionary

It’s a chance I think Sweeney will take. The alternative (which by trading Ullmark for picks could net another goal scorer) is that you give Swayman big minutes and hope that Bussi holds his own. I would be happy with either outcome, I’m just curious why a very, very small percentage of ACGMs had Ullmark staying put.

This was painfully evident in EVERY social media fan page!! Some posts had me questioning that some of these ‘fans’ even knew what hockey was!!

If Monahan and Dillon would take those deals, the Bruins would HAVE to do this! This might even get them to the 3rd round!!
