HaHa .....miss labeled quiet bruin fan.........Fluto is right. Heinen is a good utility player while Ritchie is a slow, fat, stupid semi-skilled piece of ahl garbage. Clear loss!
They get 70% d zone starts and 60% of the xG. I think they are playing pretty well considering their deployment.
I think if you want Middleton I would try moving a different piece . My reasoning is Beecher is a center with size and speed also cap friendly for sometime........Bruins are in need of centers especially if Bergey retires.......just a thought that look at other options.I think it's Beecher to SJ for Middleton. I'd do that.
Sounds great in concept but that’s not what’s actually happening.When was the last time that anyone from that line scored a point? Or even had a high scoring chance
It is rare
The defensive faceoffs are only part time. More often ... the play is via line changes.
When Kuraly, Wagner, Acciari line was once a staple. They also didnt score on a regular clip. But made opponents sweat on their own end.
For the Fpligno Nosek Lazar line....eventually battling/stuck in your own end, is like handling dynamite. Could lead to goals/fluky goals. Helps opposing team get momentum.
The sigh of relief for the 4th line these days, is for it to clear the puck out of the defensive zone after adventures.
And time to get off the Studnicka train ride ,move on.Duran and Kuntar are pretty much wingers.
I don't understand why Boston is still close on Chychyrun.
The ask for him is so outside of what Boston can afford, yet actually has.
Yet credible reports says Boston has been in on him from the first rumblings.
What do you think our offer is?
