Excellent on the penalty kill like Danny was good speed and covers point well but Bjork has more of a scoring touch i feel.

4th or 3rd line doesnt matter. Has been playing well. Nice effort. Nice payoff tonight
3rd line was the best line tonight

Another great game from Bjork tonight. He's been very impressive for a good stretch of games now, hope he continues this type of play. I was very happy to see him rewarded with a goal.
His game is really showing signs of development lately. He's getting in much better shooting spots and looking for the net consistently. He's challenging guys 1 on 1 with the puck in the offensive zone. He's reading the play well and putting himself in position to win board battles and cycle the puck. All while maintaining his very solid defensive play.
It will be hard to take him out of the lineup when everyone is healthy if he can keep playing like this.

I like his game. I don’t think he will ever be a goal scorer. But I like his positioning. And I like how he uses his speed and he seems to be really getting good along the walls. He killing penalties too. I think he is more of an asset then we give him credit for around here. He has become a whipping boy and I don’t think it’s deserved. He isn’t a top 10 draft pick. So for him to even play the role he is given so well is enough for me.
Bjork has always been fast, but he's really kicked it up even another notch. He might be the fasted Bruin's forward at this point. I think part of it is that he is reading the play better and thus skating with a purpose rather than just zooming around the ice in every direction.
I definitely think he has earned himself a permanent spot in the lineup provided he can maintain this level of play. He is a vital member of the PK now, and his speed and energy add a dimension that is useful to the team. I think Studnicka goes back to Prov to continue developing as a center, and Kase finds himself on the outside for a while.

Like I already said, Bjork is a huge asset for the Bruins. Either as part of the team that can play up and down the lineup or as a trade chip.
Young, skilled and with an attractive 3y contract.

made a nice play, letting that puck pass him by to Jake behind the net rather than try to make a play on it then immediately going to the net and making himself available for Jake to dish to
I`ve been hard on Jake but the kid played a solid game last night

Again, admittedly I have been a Bjork critic...
He might not be producing a lot offensively, but overall, I'm absolutely fine with how he's playing. He's much more aggressive on the puck, and seems to have gained a bunch of strength in general. He looks like he's flat out bigger and stronger.

Bjork has seemed to find another gear the last few games. My thoughts on him are well documented here, so I'm happy to see him doing well and I hope he keeps it up.

be huge for the B`s if both Bjork and Debrusk contribute, moreso Debrusk as he`s a guy most likely to produce more but doesn`t mean Bjork can`t contribute. Kid looks absolutely jacked this year

He looks great when he's not asked or expected to be a top 6 guy. Seems like he's thinking too much when he's up in more offensive roles and thrives when asked to simplify his game and play straight ahead hockey. Not unlike Kuraly and Wagner.

I`m a Bjork fanboy so take this with that grain of salt but I`d like to see him on PP 2 and see what he can do, problem with that is, PP 1 usually scores so might not ever see the ice
I think there`s more skill there than we have seen

I taught I remembered him having a good one timer at the beginning of his pro career. Am I getting him mixed up with someone else

But who would u take off the second pp to put him on it? Although the coach is rolling 4-5 forwards on the pp sometimes. I think it’s part of the reason Boston’s pp is destroying other teams. I almost expect some short handed goals against.I`m a Bjork fanboy so take this with that grain of salt but I`d like to see him on PP 2 and see what he can do, problem with that is, PP 1 usually scores so might not ever see the ice

pick your poison on 2nd unit, listen, I`m not saying he should be the focal point, all I said is I`d be interested to see what he could do on the 2nd unit

Part of the problem at least for me was watching him play thinking points would come as an intriguing prospect. Now though I’m able to step back and watch his complete game. Kids legit on D and the forecheck. Whether or not the offense comes he’s a legit bottom 6 forward. Confidence and health seem critical for him.

He’s playing catch up hockey. Two blown shoulders isn’t easy to get over. You tend to protect the joint. This is like his first year of longer ice time. Nothing wrong in working your way up the lines based on play. That’s what DB needs to do. We live in a world where everything is in reach with a mouse. It’s not how the real world works. Kids are given ice time without earning it nowadays. Used to be you started on the forth line and worked your way up.

We’re you been. He’s been for a long time. Although DB is finally getting heat now. LOL.

Honestly - I heard Frederic is moved up. Is Bjork moved down?? Or does he play for the Ducks now?
Too bad about Lindholm...

Game is slowing down for Bjork. He looks amazing these days. His shifty skating is Makar esque

Count down ...
Agreed. He's been one of the better players for the bruins. He was fantastic last night. Trading him could be dangerous. I smell Reilly Smith thing happening.

Yup, suddenly he’s the best player on the ice. Consistency is his power. Keep it up dude!!!
