David Krejci wasn't a beautiful skater either but he was a magician
Guys I’m sooo mad 😡
I lost a lot of respect for the NHL lottery draft they can shove the lottery balls were the sun don’t shine 🤬😡
If isles take D do Bruins package picks to SJ to move to 2 so SJ can take a D later?
If they pick Martin that’s a reach. It’s the last thing they should be doing. We don’t need another grinder we need offense that you can only get in top of the draft. O’Brien desnoyer or McQueen
If Boston plays it safe, they take O’Brien, who is already a top playmaker, high hockey IQ, can still score lots, and, yet, the youngest of the draft class.
If Boston wants to shake things up, they pick Brady Martin.

I see Brady Martin as a young Ryan O’Reilly. Who wouldn’t want him on your team?
I like Porter martone. Yes he needs to work on his speed. But he has size a great passer and can score and he a can play gritty. They need some nastiness on the wing.
You fucking think the lottery is horse shit never liked it
So they most likely won't select Don Sweeney's #1 choice. How is that a bad thing? 🤣
Deserved. Such a stupid franchise. 3 pts in the last 4 games with NOTHING to play for sealed their fate.
Sweeney and Neely will again screw it up if they draft…I think they should package the pick in a trade for an established forward
Agreed with Bridgette 1:04:30
They will screw this up no matter what pick they have. Sweeney is very incompetent. Period!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey man it’s the nature of the draft, come on now, The negativity in this town stinks and it sucks! Let me tell you, Big Z not walking through that door and Patrice Bergeron is not walking through that door, And if they do there gonna be Old and Grey ‼️
1st pick 10th pick last pick. The Bruins cannot find talented players. Great scouts make great teams…PERIOD
2015 anyone? Or any other year for that matter. Nothing like a team full of bottom 6 players except Pasta..
This is not bad luck. Sweeney will pick the wrong guy anyway.
