  1. We smashed worse odds than that just to be as bad as we are this year, but… God forbid the team suddenly comes alive with Matthews out, as they tend to do..

  3. I’m sorry but it would be the leafiest thing ever if this team plays out of there mind and sneaks into a playoff spot with him out

  5. Do it for Matthews they’ll say as they try their best and give away the 6th overall pick.

  9. Matthews should have been shut down to rehab BEFORE Gudas kneed him. Clown management team.

  13. Stupidest thing ever…the last spot team gets the higher chance for top prospects….

  14. I don’t think so, as whenever AM34 did not play, we even played better, and I don’t know why

  15. Well let’s see if the leafs actually try to redeem themselves

    One of them basically has to do something suspension worthy to Gudas and take him out of the playoffs

    Hey Domi u feel like just smashing a hockey stick into his face and knocking his teeth out? Because you have a go ahead to do so

    U can lose 10-0 as long as Gudas doesn’t walk off the ice in one piece

  18. WELL we seemingly play better without him.. 47-26-4 in games he has missed.. 2-0-0 without him in playoffs.. so we will see what happens. a proper tragic comedy has us going on win streak 😭

  19. Why do people want this to happen? Even if it’s McKenna and we pick 1st by winning the draft lottery, that means our 2027 1st goes to Boston UNPROTECTED, which means the 1st we owe Philly reverts to 2028 UNPROTECTED.

    We have no fucking farm hands. If we we keep the pick this year, we are FUCKED until 2029. That’s not a retool. That’s a rebuild. The pain doesn’t even start until 2029, and if your attitude is we have a bunch of guys we can trade—NO WE FUCKING DONT. We have a bunch of overpaid guys coming off down years, on the wrong side of 30 whose value has never been lower.

    Y’all aren’t thinking this through. We NEED the Bruins to take this year’s pick and hope the next GM can make us less embarrassing next year so we can give the 27 pick to the Flyers and start the actual rebuild NEXT FALL.

  20. I wouldn’t be shocked if they play better the rest of the season.

    Nothing to lose and they will have some youngster’s auditioning for next year.

    I mean can they play any worse?
