Are you diverting to baseball? I feel bad for you.

I feel bad for you trying to talk hockey based on your organization's status. Anyone with half of a sense would know where I was going with that comment. You have zero sense. Wake me up when you are relevant again, if it happens. Know your role little man.

(frank) this. If Bylsma isn't gone and the team doesn't make some serious shakeups then prepare for another let down year. Bylsma, goodbye...Fleury, goodbye...Letang, goodbye...this team needs to tweaked

Is it too late to revoke Letang's Norris nomination?

Well, at the time, Pittsburgh was running away with the Eastern Conference regular-season; had a nine or ten game winning streak and had a 2-0 season series with Boston ... Boston was second in that division behind Montreal, who wasn't good. Why laugh? Pittsburgh was a much better team before this series than Boston.

Seriously, he can stay if he takes no raise and is demoted to the 3rd D pairing.

TWO (frank)ing goals in nearly 14 damn periods. Shameful.

Any time you lose 4-0 to anyone and have Malkin, Crosby, Letang, Neal, Iggy and crew and only manage 2 goals (Sutter and Kunitz), it is utterly EMBARRASSING. I have no idea what you were watching.

boys, it is what it is.

bruins were the team of destiny. given the tragedy in boston this year, the comeback in game 7, and now this... the bruins were that team that got the breaks. good teams get the breaks, penguins were not a good team this series. they relied on nothing but firepower to get through the islanders and senators. not going to happen against a team like this.

it was an eventful year. good moments and bad moments.

if shero doesn't fire bylsma, doesn't make the changes needed, I cant say ill be back here next year. Ill find a young team with heart who wants to win. not a team full of pampered babies who expect anything to be handed to them.

it's been fun gentlemen. I have a feeling the fun starts at the draft for us.

I'd go for Luongo in a second after a buyout, or if Van kept some salary

LA was nowhere near Boston defensively...I see Boston giving them fits.

I think Kunitz was drunk the whole series he game on every shot/pass.

How does Bernier help? He is hardly NHL battle proof. Fasth? He isn't getting dealt. Hiller probably is. Harding has MS. Great story but that is an easy pass.

I always liked lou. Love his attitude. Always thought he was dealt a tough hand after losing to the broons in in the finals that year. The guy has played tight and did so this year too. Came up big but like the pens the canucks couldnt score...


Cant wait for bylsmas presser..... Mark wahlberg walks in with baggies on his feet and just shoots him in the head... Departed style. Thanks for playing

This series reminds me of one famous adage in all sports. Defense wins championships. We had all the firepower any team could want and it got us nowhere when it came down to it. Rask played out of his mind and the team commitment to defense by the Bruins was amazing. Ive never seen a team stifle another team to short rushes and outside shots for an entire series like this. No sustained pressure and no rebounds we could control. Hats off to the Bruins, they were the better team.

Bylsma should have and could have adjusted but didn't. And ultimately I think that's why he's not back next year.

Fairly well deserved for vetoing a trade that would have been better for the flames
