I'd agree about Beaulieu. I thought he had his best game in a long while against the Oilers uon Tuesday - but no love for the guy. People like the flash and promise of young players, but in reality, guys like Beaulieu and Forbort can stabilize goals against, and with our goaltending and forward group, that is bad news for the NHL.
I think the one thing that hurts Beau is that he tends to have some 'oh shit' moments, and they are not subtle moments like getting turned or misssing an assignment. They are of the magnificiently bad variety, and that what tends to stick with fans. If he could ever cut that out of his game he would be a very desirable staple on any D corps.
Kind of reminds me of Bogosian in that respect. He'd play well for long stretches of games or in game, and then do something like trip over himself, propelling the puck into our own slot from behind the net right to an opposition forward.
You bring up some good points & yes, Beaulieu is playing more consistent on the positive side. Love this guy for hisstand up to oppositoon A-holes picking on our team. I never realized before last year how astute a fighter he is.
Throws a decent one-two while holding combaraht at bay pretty strongly. Go Bo- luu Go.
