luv Mike. He is Mr. Bruin -still remember the shoe incident at Madison Square vividly! Anyway, would the Jacobs support Sweeney building the team through the draft, through Providence? Just look at the Canucks - sure they lost to McDavid but Hughes, Miller, Petterson, Boeser and Demko, Canucks core is young and acquired principally thru the draft. Jacobs family wont but that is what we need to do. Look at the Rangers core - through the draft. Where do we get a #1 and number #2 center, a legit centers. Why would any team give up on a legit # 1 or #2 center. Maybe Beecher could be a 1 or 2 but he needs time, playing time, to develop into that. Sweeney is good, talented at picking players. If Jacobs family gives Sweeney and his scouts time, we cold fill the void at center through the draft. We can acquiring picks through dealing Ullmark and Pastrnak. Yes, Pasternak. Pastrnak has played in 90 playoff game and has a +/- of 2!. Lucic, Bugeron, and Krejci had +/-s in the 30s, 40s and 20s respectively!! We could get a 1st round draft pick for Pasternak. We should do it!

I really love Milbury. He gets it. I am furious seeing players and fans being thrilled with failure. This is a fucked up attitude you guys. There's something wrong with this picture. Accepting failure in a league where ultimate victory can only be achieved by desire, perseverance, and the will to fight is a guarantee this team will never win the cup. As fans, the only thing we can do is to refuse to support the team. Maybe when they start showing up for games with a half empty arena, they might start taking their heads out of their asses. The will to fight is the opposite of being content with failure. If this team is thrilled and content with losing, then why fuckin bother going to the games? Who wants to wear merchandise for a team that enjoys losing? I don't want to watch a bunch of assholes making $10,000,0000 a year, let alone support them financially by buying their gear and buying expensive tickets. If this acceptance of failure is the attitude of this team, then they will NEVER win the cup. We could wait decades for that attitude to be taken out of the team. This is really bad guys. It bothers me a lot actually. When the fans care more than the team cares, we have a fuckin problem!!!! If this turns out to be true, then I'm done with this team, and since there is no other team I care about, I would be done with hockey altogether.

Totally agree! Great points

the goat milbury

[@stanleywalus9771]

For the Bruins this is a good season. as compared to old Celtics-championship or not. To the Patriots- super bowl or not. That is why they are where they are come May of next year. Hope. Sweeny been in charge for how many years. What four coaches in how many years. When is it the player composition. The problem.

[@sgoody334]

See I love that Milbury is saying what most half intelligent people knew all along. GM is to blame and it’s been obvious for years

[@user-ov8fu3jh6g]

Milbury always seems to have all the answers, but his track record as a front office guy was quite poor. His opinions are antiquated, generally wrong, and he acts like he could do better than current coach or GM. I totally get why NBC canned him. WEEI should find someone better for these interviews.

[@Leroy-df3ee]

The team overachieved.

[@stanleywalus9771]

First draft pick this year 4th round. How was trading the picks now. Do you want Sweeny the man rebuilding this team????

[@raivkka4313]

Other than the first few picks in the NHL, the rest is a real crap shoot. You look at the draft and players in the league and very few mid round 1st and later picks actually make it to the league (about 25%). Not like the NFL draft where almost all of the first 2 rounds have football careers(at around 80%).

[@HHSGDFootballJPD]

Had we won the cup between '20 and '23, I'd think it would be worth it. Especially if the team showed up in Game 7 in '19, we'd be talking 2 cups in five years. Sweeney, to his credit, has done a good job of identifying bottom 6 talent. He just needs to grab the right elite forward and we need to tweak the top 2 D-pairs.

[@curtisbragg]

they lost Bergy and Krejci and did not replace them. They didn't have the money. If you don't think they did great, you don't know the game. Now we have money Don's job is on the line next year!!!

[@trentminor5210]

agreed.. they filled in the holes with cheap older guys, jvr,shattenkirk so this year with cap space will truly tell what this team is made of

[@MikeStarr-lw5ol]

They should bring Milbury back to be the GM

[@paullagasse5504]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!

[@HHSGDFootballJPD]

Even with Goalie Bob, I don't think he could've saved the DiPietro disaster...

[@RatelleRules]

They do know Stamkos doesn't play Center anymore, and he's a Carbon Copy of Pasta in Power Play.

[@robertwells6724]

How do (so called) fans blame the Jacobs. They spend to the max!!

[@paullagasse5504]

Going into this season they were definitely not a cup contender but they were definitely a playoff team and for the captain to come out and say it was a successful season because people said we weren't a playoff team is foolishness whoever said they weren't a playoff team which if they said that they don't know hockey for two barley anyone said they weren't a playoff team you guys only made second round because you fought a girl dont celebrate a win in a fight against a girl especially a fight you barely won

[@HHSGDFootballJPD]

I had my doubts this year if they could make the playoffs; a lot of it was due to expecting Buffalo or Detroit to make a jump and bump us out of a Wild Card slot.

[@chrisragona3945]

Asking Milbury for trade advice? Worst GM in NHL history. But he’s right about Swayman. I propose Marner for Ullmark. Let’s do it.

[@sgoody334]

No wrong!!! All the things Swayman does you fools praises Rask for doing the opposite!!!! Swayman stays tall!! Cuts angles, doesn’t crouch down with his face on the ice acting like he’s looking for pucks and excuses. Rask always to low and in his net. Most overrated guy ever Thank you on the defenseman!!!!!!!

[@TReeves92]

Coyle is overpaid, package him with Ulmark for center.
