I wish I could be "mopey"...

Like not just in that 'quiet, twiddling my fingers and playing with myself' kinda way, but more that 'Eeyore: woe is me, the sky is always cloudy, wind in my face and it's snowing' kinda way... you know, like Blob :lol: ;)
If Benning wins the cup for us, Blob will still mope. Why? Benning didn’t draft the Turtle
Cool story. Right up there with Dick’s story that Benning traded for Rask, drafted Lucic, Kessel and Marchand all while he was still an employee of the Buffalo Sabres.

Sort of like how you credit Gillis for the likes of Edler, Sedins, Burrows, Bieksa, Kesler, Salo, Luongo etc., because he - in your own words “resigned them” even through they were there before Gillis started his first day on the job

That was in response to the tards that said Jim Benning built the Bruins. The drafting stunk while he was there and all the good players that were and are there were acquired before or after his tenure. They drafted one good player in his time there- Tyler Seguin and he was a layup at #2.

So again... are you one of the meat puppets that think Benning built the Bruins?

You can’t have your cake and eat it Bubbles

“Benning had nothing to do with the players already in Boston’s system who won them the cup in 2011”

“Sedins, Kesler, Burrows, Bieksa, Edler, Salo, Luongo, Hansen, Raymond etc are Gillis players cause he resigned them” even though they were brought in by previous Mgmt.

Hmm

So you agree Elmer had little to do with the Bruins cup in 2011 and little to do with their current success.

Thank you

Do you agree Gillis had little to do with going to the cup finals in 2011?

He had more to do with it than Elmer did in Boston, but neither was the main architect of either team

So Blab, I don’t understand

You give Gillis credit for getting to the finals with a core of players provided by previous front offices cause he, in your words “resigned them” but won’t give credit to Benning for winning the cup with players provided by other front office staff? How is that different?

Blab - “but Gillis resigned them...”
