2025-26 Bruins

[Calhoun44]

Owning Montreal is just as sweet

The sweetest! I would lose to Toronto every time if it meant the Habs would never beat the B's again

 

[captain stone]

Zadorov & Hamper Lindholm are over-paid, yes... But Peekie & Jokesonyou, and ESPECIALLY Laurie & the AssPilot are complete ****ing Garbage. Please trade at least one of these mother****ers for a top-9-caliber Forward (RH if possible)... Sweeten the pot if necessary...

Forgive me jamming this story into this thread.......but the info is very enlightening.
Edmonton is knocking it out of the rink

CNBC's Official NHL Team Valuations 2025: Here's how the 32 franchises stack up

The average NHL team is worth $2.2 billion, with the increase in team values largely driven by richer national media rights deals.

Doing better in their valuation than in the standings this year

Doing better in their valuation than in the standings this year

An outpost in central Canada (population 1.1 mill) is lapping the entire league in revenue ($431 mill).
$196 mill more in yearly revenue than the team (FL) that also went the distance (23 revenue boosting playoff games, 10 at home) last year.

What can I say, Edmonton loves its hockey and is willing to spend for the privilege… Another example of that is, during the WHA’s 7-year run, Edmonton & Winnipeg were the only two franchises who went wire-to-wire without moving, folding etc… What else is there to do up there, after all?

The province of Alberta's population (5.1 mill) is less than Massachusetts.
Shares two pro hockey teams, Calgary and Edmonton
Yet Edmonton makes $196 mill more than Boston, or approximately $4+mill per home game more than the B's.

Gotta be parking revenue

 

[WhatJustHappened]

What was THAT? 2 Bruins all by themselves, and they play d!ckaround instead of shooting the puck! Arrrrrgggggh

 

[WhatJustHappened]

WTG MCAvoy...

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Wtg Minten with your 2nd, for the GW in OT!

B's are SERIOUSLY Undisciplined under Sturm, he's over his head.

Hey Sturm you dumbass, you aren't going to win many games when your team is in the box 5-8 times a game, how about you get them to STOP doing dumbass ****?
Was very disappointed when DumbassDonny hired this clown.
Bah

 

[Calhoun44]

A little over halfway through the season and I think our record is a clear and decisive reflection of this team's talent level. The energy level that they played with earlier in the year has tapered off quite a bit and unfortunately, they just don't have the talent advantage when they take the ice most nights.

 

[captain stone]

Yeah now that they're relatively healthy up-front, a fairer assessment can be made of them... Minten's here to stay as Centre #3 so that means Mittelstadt's LW #1... They're getting very little from Jeannot, Eyesfront & especially K-Nut; and after a nice start Steves has cooled-down too... If they do become buyers before the trade deadline then a top-6-calibre LW is what they need the most; and I would trade one of my top-6 Defencemen if that's what it takes.

To show how much this very ex-pensieve defence corpse has under-achieved, the AssPilot himself leads the entire team in +/- with 10! Among defencemen Zadorov is +8 and Laurie is somehow +5... The 3 thieves - Charlie Mac, Hamper Lindholm & especially Peekey - are all Negatives. Inexcusable for the money they're making but not earning.

Korpisalo's the least-productive 1B/2 goalie we've had here in a while it seems... I wonder if there's been any consideration yet given to recalling one of the Providence kids, DiPietro or Zajcek, and giving them a home start or two, see how they react...

 

[captain stone]

Helluva game last night from Korpisalo this time. There was a sequence during the 2nd period in which he made nearly a half-dozen Outstanding saves while every other Bruin was falling over himself it seemed...

 

[WhatJustHappened]

B's looking good today!
8-2.
This is pretty rare, but happy to see it.
Never really wanted Sturm, we'll see how he does at the end of the year.

 

[Shed83]

Getting a double digit win is very welcome!! Even more so against the scummy NYR!!

Well done B’s!!

 

[captain stone]

Nice ceremony for Chara last night. Well-deserved raising of #33, though he should be wearing 3 rings to go with it.

Still waiting for #12 however...

You would think #37 is going to the rafters next.

 

[captain stone]

Yep, though I feel the team should wait until at least he's HOF-eligible, if not HOF-elected like Chara was.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Yep.

Then....if they allowed Nifty in then Marchand needs to go in.

IMO Rask (all-time in wins) should not go in. They should consider Tim Thomas instead

No to Marchand, sorry.

100% Agree.
