I really don't see what the fuss is with all of the arguing over the
management. The only thing that I've seen wrong so far this year, is the
lack of play of Dimitri (now fixed unfortunately...) and the Poulin
fiasco. However, Lets drop the Moog shit, I loved the guy, and I wouldn't
have tradded for him BUT, Casey is Playing GREAT... Far better than
Moog has been during the same period of time. The Bruins have lost
NOTHING from that trade. Casey is younger, which is something the B's need
(just check out the G.A.A. of Bales or anyone else in Providence to see why...)
My understanding of the Poulin situation was that the B's offered him a
contract. He didn't like it, and before anyone knew what was going on he
was in Washington.... The Bruins ahve a good team, Good enough to
win the cup, (IMHO...) Lemieux is a non factor, I'll be surprised to
see him play this year... Gretzky doesn't have the supporting case
(particularly in goal) to make anohter run. And frankly Toronto had a
hot streak, now its over. What's there record been since the broke
the record? something 2-3-1?? Toronto simply doesn't ahve the depth.
The B's have the right idea. Play the youngsters HARD right now. By
the time the playoffs roll around they will be in sync, and the B's
can make a legitimate run for the cup.
but then that's just my opinion....
