Hoping. I think he'll start the year as the 13th forward. Kid is TOUGH.

 

[trudatman*]

is this a prediction or some sort of fact...?

I love the guy, but I ain't holding my breath. People realize he's 32, right (he has boyish looks)?

0 games in the NHL up to this point.

Say's who?

 

[Shaun]

great until he tries to take on a heavyweight and gets pounded.

Get the Duck Boats ready....

I love when he's called kid.

Eh, I call everyone kid. Grew up in and live in Boston, everything comes with it.

 

[Alicat]

You will see Bobby Robbins with the big club next season.

I hope not. He's the last thing this team needs right now.

 

[DKH]

Want him to get in the Show but knowing Clode and watching Bobby a lot he needs to be a bit more under control- I've never seen one shift he didn't come close to getting a penalty

 

[TheBigBadB]

would be nice to have at least one player that will continually belt people into the boards. As the team is right now, not much in the way of checkers. I would say more strategically placed players that know the system well but no bangers that a defenseman would fear.

 

[Fenian24]

I hope not. He's the last thing this team needs right now.

They actually need a tougher version of him. But at this point I will take what I can get. Robbins won't beat heavyweights but he will try and he hits well and will lose it sometimes.

If the fourth line wing is between him and Jordan Caron, I don't see how even the anti fighting people can not want Robbins, he'll score more than Chiarelli's son Caron.

Would prefer to see Tyler Randell take his spot, who is a legit heavyweight and could go with anybody in the league and do OK

Exactly. Keep your head up when Lucic is on the ice, but nobody else up front to really fear (Marchand is willing, but tiny). BR will bring some banging and energy to the 4th line in the games he is put in there.

Say what???

Legit heavyweight??????

Dude...what are you smoking?

Not only is he NOT a heavyweight...he doesn't fight heavyweights, ever, unless you want to call Patrice Cormier and Paul Thompson heavyweights.

 

[zaYG]

I'd be fine with him at 4th line RW for the start of the season. Awesome dude who plays with more of an edge than probably anyone else in the NHL/AHL. Fortunately he doesn't really hit dirty, but he would probably get a great deal of penalties if he doesn't tone it down a bit.

Would prefer over Jordan ****in Caron, that is for sure.

 

[World of Wardlow]

If PC said they want to move away from the enforcer game (see Shawn Thornton), why would he want to put Robbins in the lineup next season??

 

[Bullvyne666]

Cannot wait till halfway through next season when everyone is whining how the Bruins are getting the snot beat out of them. Chara, Looch and Miller? Not enough toughness at all.

 

[Morris Wanchuk]

Can he hit?

 

[GloveSave1]

I hope so. He's a good fit for the 4th line. I'm not a huge fan of sticking some kid with a different mind-set/skill-set with Paille and Campbell.

I'd rather see them playing in PROV.

Knight is an interesting choice for L4, but some more time in PROV wouldn't hurt. If Robbins doesn't work, I'd promote Knight.

Not to hijack, but what's the story with Cunningham? Great consistant numbers in PROV. He seems ready for a promotion to 17th forward.

kid is 32 and has played 0 NHL minutes, call me uninspired or really that convinced he`s what the 4th line in this system needs

 

[TheBigBadB]

Didn't Thornton start late too? He didn't start playing full time until he was here

He's the exact opposite of the direction Chia and Neely said they are going.

agreed Wally

and poster thebigbadb....Thorty truly got his chance in Boston but he had played about 80 NHL games prior to, Robbins not a minute

 

[GloveSave1]

He's the exact opposite of the direction Chia and Neely said they are going.

So what is the direction? Move Koko over and play him with Paille and Campbell?

Haha.

Jk.

I guess you're thinking someone like Florek?

Chia says he believes some kids will "pop," while some think he means the Kokos and Spooners of the world, I think he's talking Fraser, Florek, etc.
