Sujet: Laine to Boston
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rhea</b></div><div>hehe nope, long before that actually. More to do with Jacobs and Bettman being BFFs and it really affecting the officiating. The Bruins defence can basically do whatever they want and not get a penalty...especially Chara and Marchand.

Unless you are completely blind you cannot dispute that either.</div></div>

If you ever watched the Bruins, maybe you would realize that Marchand plays wing not defence.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>1) Good defensive teams limit opportunities for goals against, the Leafs do that at an average rate (ranked 15th).
2) PK's have been proven to mostly rely on the goalies stopping the puck. Toronto's goaltending has not been doing so.
3) Yes, they very much do, you just don't know what the stats actually mean and what are important.
4) Literally no. I am saying it doesn't matter as long as they are low danger. Are you illiterate?
5) And over a game they limit xGA at an average amount.</div></div>

Eclipze - just drop the mike. Random2152 is making a fool out of themselves. Let them. It's that old Mark Twain quote about arguing with certain kinds of people, because they will beat you with experience.

Sujet: Next Year No Krug
Gryz does get that $ or that term as RFA - he's not going to get more than McAvoy.
Krug make the PP go, and moves the puck. Better in his own end than Erik Karlsson SJS (at $11M AAV). Sign him to 7x7 so I don't have to hear for 10 years how the Bruins "need a puck moving defenceman". Maybe Josi will sign for less than 9, but if it's over 9, then Krug has a good case for 8AAV. So sign him before the Josi deal raises the asking price.
I agree about biting the bullet to get rid of the Backes cap hit next year (which I don't believe a buyout will accomplish); and I have lost my patience with Heinen [he takes a full 3 seconds to get off a shot]. Not a 2.8M cap hit player [extending plays can't be the #1 strength of a top 9 forward].
I don't think Coyle will get that much $ based on his lack of points (in the regular season). I would love the B's to re-sign him, but they need to trade Backes, Heinen and John Moore to do it. Uro, Gryz and Krug are fine LHD next year.
No Chara next year. Father time has caught up, and the B's need to let the younger kids play, plus Uro's cap hit is $1.2M less than Z's; and the B's need that $ for Krug, Coyle and DeBrusk.
