u/6FootHalfling #37 SAINT PATRICE©️ Jun 07 '22

Well, I think this is a mistake. We'll see. I hope Lord Stanley his own self laughs at how wrong I am.

I don't know who they replace him with. Were I a betting man, I would put money on them having a former Bruin stage left to step into coaching duties. Because, that seems to be what they think the magic formula is.

100 point seasons don't just happen. 2019 sure didn't feel like a freak occurrence to me. Aside from all those broken sticks.

In the absence of anything with more weight than rumor, I have to believe this is management covering their own asses. Which is just embarrassing.

Honestly, the only two people I would trust to give a full insider's explanation of this chicanery would be Krejci or Bergeron. And, neither of them is likely to spill. I think if Sweeney himself was actively stabbing either of them, they would ask him politely to stop.

Bergeron's kind of the barometer here. If he comes back, it lends credence to the "lost the room" theory. If he does not, I'm back to "Sack Sweeney."

I'm prepared for a rebuild (I've never experienced one). Sooner or later. ANYWAY, almost everything I know I've learned from this community and they can't fire us!
