Comment on Bruins Postgame Takeaways: Carolina Catastrophe by JerryM
McAvoy's decline since 2022 is shocking. The defense pairings are the worst since pre-Chara. That 1st pairing is 2 puck movers. Seriously? This is the anti-Bruins from what we grew up with from a defensive perspective.
And Zadorov is playing like a big goon looking for a fight, he's been useless defensively. Carlo is basically collecting a paycheck-looks checked out. Offensively this is a middling group of patchwork combos and its exposed Pasta as the one dimensional, though highly skilled drifter/sniper that he is. I feel bad for Marchand the effort is clearly there--the legs are not.
2015 Draft, with 3 elite #1s guys that would form the nucleus of this team=--100% whiffs. Connor has 50% more goals than Pasta--almost 1/3 of the Bruins goal total. Chabot is an AS D-man, and DeBrusk, an actual pick, is elsewhere.
Monty will be scapegoated in classic Bruins fashion even though Sweeney and Neely are 100% responsible for the lack of talent/picks. I just wish Charlie knew enough to at least figure who is the problem....
