Player Discussion Anders Bjork

[bwdrums1]

I wondered the same thing and thought it was a big nothing of a hit to cause him to need surgery.

Exactly, looked like a little nothing cross check off a face off, the kind you see all the time. I can't believe how injured he got. A complete fluke or the kid is brittle, hope it's the former.

 

[00BW]

5 games too many or he'd be a rookie next year too. No Calder but probably earn NHL spot back.

 

[ODAAT]

Really unfortunate for the kid. Really looking forward to watching his progress next year

 

[Bruinaura]

Poor Anders. That sounds pretty significant if the recovery is six months. Looking forward to seeing him next year though.

 

[s3antana5757]

Man a torn labrum on that hit. That's just bad luck. Definitely needs to add some mass, but I'm excited for his future.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Bad luck. Bulk up and we'll see you next year Bjork.

 

[LouJersey]

Man how did Kessel play through a torn labrum and score 36 goals? Jeez tough mfer.

Bruins Phil Kessel has shoulder surgery, out 6 months

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Tough break, really like this kid's future.

 

[22Brad Park]

Really terrible injury and long rehab.Get well soon kid.

 

[GarbageGoal]

Arrrgh

 

[Ratty]

Looking forward to great things from this kid next year and beyond. Talent is definitely there.

For now we have other alternatives with Cehlarik on LW and Czarnik on the starboard side.

Hoping for a successful recovery and good physical development in the offseason.

 

[TimThomas24]

Feel like he’s our forgotten prospect. Should have a roster spot open for him.

Yes but shouldnt be automatic

After the hit, he was not the same again. Hopefully he is strong enough mentally to get back playing the right away. Go into the corners etc

 

[PB37]

Feel like he’s our forgotten prospect. Should have a roster spot open for him.

I think he ( as well as some of the other prospects ) are going to win a spot.

Heinen -- Frederic - Bjork

Cehlarik -- Kuraly -- Senyshyn

I want these kids to impress in camp and the Bruins to continue to have faith in them. I'd love to see Kuraly play with a fast, big bodied winger with some talent and jam. Senyshyn could potentially fit that bill.

 

[Alicat]

Looking forward to seeing him in camp fully recovered.

No doubt his goal is to make the team and be on the roster for the Winter Classic given that he’s a Notre Dame guy.

You can’t count him out that’s for sure.

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

Heinen-Frederic-Bjork sounds full of youthful promise. Smarts, size and skill.

Are we at the point where we're penciling Backes in on the fourth line?

A few weeks ago.

Shinzawa's Sunday notes: Anders Bjork will now have to...

fluto on bjork. he was my favorite prospect entering this year, and think he's maybe a little 'out of sight, out of mind'
here. to me he's a top 9 guy no doubt - will he be physically ready by opening night? will he need some AHL time?
hard to say but the guy i saw before matt martin blew him up was pretty good.

I hope he is ready to step back into the NHL lineup. He had a such a good start to his career. He's definitely one of my favorite prospects too.

 

[Don Cherry]

Cehlarik -- Kuraly -- Senyshyn
.

Yeah, all six of these guys are locks to be regulars next season.

 

[Dr Hook]

He didn’t say locks, he said he thought they would *win* spots. Pretty big difference. If you want make fun of people at least have courtesy to get their posts correct!

Are we at the point where we're penciling Backes in on the fourth line?

No.

We value slow players with 'leadership' above all else. Its called Bruins. Backes won't ever move off the 3rd line RW spot unless its maybe to skate a few shifts with DK.

Hes still a decent player and can probably do well and hit 30+ points in that role. But hes very much an immovable object when it comes time to shuffle the lines around.

My biggest gripe isn't really with him its Cassidy for not playing him at center. He'd be better in the middle focusing on positioning rather than hitting dudes a full second after they pass the puck.

I like Bjork. IDK why my favorite prospects get no love on here. Bjork, Fitz, and Cehlarik are the guys I'm high on other than the obvious prospects who had success last year for us.

 

[veganbruin]

Bjork will be a mainstay on the big club next year. I think he has the highest ceiling of all Donato, Debrusk, Heinen. His skating is amazing.

 

[veganbruin]

Would love to see a line with some wheels
Debrusk-Kuraly-Bjork
