+ another bruin pick

For all you Widenman haters....please understand that the guy we have coming is an absolute DOG.  Zero heart, and only plays when he feels like it.  I realize Wideman had an awful season, but he was excellent in the playoffs.

Bad move.  +32 from a D Man at age 26 is a rarity.  Good luck finding that again.  Trading a #15 for Colin Campbell's son?  Oh my god. Just horrendous. B's trade their best skater, their best young defenseman who leads the PP from the point, and when Chara leaves, their best D man will be Dennis Sedeinberg.

In Response to Re: WIDEMAN GONE! : I'm sorry, what was that?  Best skater?  Did you seriously type that with a straight face?  You must have missed the 50 or 60 times that Wideman tripped over the blue line last season.  I for one am overjoyed at the prospect of not watching #6 skating away dejectedly as the Bruins goalie digs the puck out of the back of the net.  That was an all-too-common scene last season.  Let him rediscover his game somewhere else.  I'll take a 25+ goal winger for just a little bit more money.

In Response to Re: WIDEMAN GONE! : What does a bad defensive season have to do with skating?  Who is the Bruins best skater? You'd have to be daft to not see his offensive game, passing and transition ability, espcially when he had an All Star season 2 years ago. Lots of players underachieved last year.  This is the point. You don't pin it on one player because Chiarelli is a bozo and Julien's players quit on him. Guess who didn't quit in the playoffs?   Wideman. You do realize this is the same organization that traded away Joe Thornton, right?   This is what Jacobs does. He scapegoats. The fans boo Wideman, don't boo Chara, who plays like a woman, and they need to sell tickets, so Wideman goes. Wideman was superb 2 years ago when people like Savard and Lucic weren't hurt all year. He tried to do too much this year and he was their best player in the playoffs.  He just need to watch some film see where his mistakes were build from there. Marco Sturm was their best skater, but not after a blown out leg followed by another, getting older. Huge mistake by Chiarelli especially on the cusp of the possible Kessel debacle. If this Seguin kid is not incredible out of the gate, Chiarelli is finished in Boston because all he talked about was our pick in 2010 and Toronto's. Guess what? Jacobs's hot dog sales and are more important than hockey decisions.  The fans booed Wideman because they needed someone to blame for poor hockey all over the ice at times, mostly due to injury. Did you like it when Matt Cooke decapitatred Savard and the wimpy reaction that followed?   Really?  You like Chia and Cloude, do ya? If only Ryder, Begin, Ference and Tim Thomas were not overpaid, then this wouldn't be seen as a "salary dump" of a supposed "bad" D man. We got way too many young Bruins fans who apparently have no idea who Jacobs is.  Trading the #15 pick for Colin Campbell's kid might be the worst trade since the Thornton deal.

In Response to Re: WIDEMAN GONE! :  The Bruins still have a great defensive corps: Chara, Seidenberg, Stuart, Boychuk (they will both be resigned).
