Lol, 144 point MVP Kucherov 1 G in last 2 PO,the mediocre also?

Is it not?

You need more from pasta and I hope you're not saying you don't.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

You accept mediocrity. Do better.

I don't "accept" anything. Call them as I see them. Pretty clear I wasn't a fan of #88 this year.

Which is not good enough.

Glad we got there even if we had to pull it out of you.

Pull what out? I disagreed with your '23 take.

Kucherov has 1 G in last two series with Brayden f***ing Point as his C.

Terrific players do fail.

Some very emotional takes in here this morning.

My suggestion to those who want to slag off Pasta, pin that our season is done on him, trade him away, compare him to Makar, etc, etc,???

Step away from the diving board. Take a deep breath. Sleep on it. Have a good meal. Get some exercise. Then rethink. Then….. and only then……. say hello to your senses, welcome them home, and have a good chuckle about the drama show you put on.

I’m not saying they should move him, but I’m not hanging up at the mention of his name

Don't back track. You admit this team isn't good enough.

You must if you "call" it like you see it.

If you can't "see" it then what are you looking at

WTF are you talking about? I said I disagreed with your '23 take and pointed at Kucherov.

Yes. You disagree with my pasta went mia in the playoffs last year.

Because apparently 5 goals/ 0 assist and a -2 is fine as long as guys on other teams aren't scoring.

He's been mid. He's paid like a superstar.

Hold him accountable. You'll be ok.

That you aren't adding anything if value to your back and forth with me other than you don't agree and want everyone to know it.

We got that 6 replies ago.

All of this.

Bruins don’t even sniff the playoffs without Pasta.

People who expect him to also have a solid defensive game do not understand Pasta as a player or what his role on this team is. People are lashing out at Pasta because he’s an easy target especially for some posters who do it as a coping mechanism when their favorite player gets called out.

His defensive game is waaaaa aaaa aaay underrated.

It has greatly improved for sure but expecting him to become backcheck Jesus is just crazy

He gets in to trouble sometimes trying to do too much in the offensive end - but when he's out there all the time with guys like Zacha and Heinen it's understandable.

so much for the mystery injury I guess

Yea he must have a lot more left in the tank.

Not surprising with a lot of the floating he was doing

while i agree ... if he could clean up all the carelessness with the puck, especially in the playoffs, the public would moan and groan a lot less (imo)

He had some glorious chances in this series Bruins really needed him to bury more than 1 of them,that being said I wouldn’t trade him ,well unless the return was better ,anyone is obviously trade able.

Again old and crotchety but I hate when players rush over there after they get eliminated to play in these things lol.

He's golden, I love him. He can basically do no wrong in my eyes, and they are not a play-off team more than likely without him. My favorite Bruin since Neely..

He was floating a lot but still got loads of ice time. For all we know the coaching staff just told him to only play offense - what other offensive weapons did we have?

Frustrated with his performance as a whole but teams really did just focus on shutting him down because there weren’t any other threats. Pasta is far from my biggest worry with this team.

 

[SPV]

I’m sure this thread is at the top of the board because everyone is praising 88.

He was so much better than I expected this season, proving so many people that called him one dimensional wrong. Then still managed to be involved in the playoffs despite being the only threat other teams had to worry about, and keying on him, mugging and beating him down at every step, and still managed to get 8 points, a series winner, and a bunch of chances.

But, I’m sure like Mac everyone wants to trade him. It’s why we struggle to have nice things.

Panthers didn’t play him as tight as Toronto did. He had his chances and flubbed a lot of them.

He has too much talent to not tuck the chances he had. Not to mention a lot of the carelessness with the puck, the passes off the mark, etc.

Maybe Monty did tell him to coast a bit on D, but that’s not much different than what he does during the regular season or any other postseason.

I wouldn’t be actively trading him, but I’m not hanging up on GMs if they call and ask about him
