This is an ongoing topic that Bruins fans are discussing, as the team feels that can continually retool the lineup to stay in a window of contention.
While it appears day-to-day, the lineup may not be optimized for the kind of runs the team used to make, when
Tuukka Rask and
Patrice Bergeron still wore the spoked-B.
Instead of promoting from within, and keeping the new blood flowing in the lineup, Sweeney has once again prioritized veterans over the youth.
For example, Michael DiPietro is tearing it up in the AHL with the P-Bruins, as he has a record of 14-5-3, 1.95 GAA, and a .930 save percentage.
Honestly, it's a case of the Bruins leadership repeating the same mistakes, which have failed to deliver a Stanley Cup since 2011.
And yes, they did make it to the finals in 2019 but could not finish the job even with a core leftover from 2011.
It's time for the Bruins front office to re-evaluate their long-term strategies and see where they're headed.
The playoffs could escape a troubled Bruins squad if things aren't turned around soon. And then all fingers could point back at Sweeney, where they truly belong.
