This guy knows his stuff

 

[kytem2]

Is "this guy" confusing Marchand with someone else ??

**
"With 21 points in 35 games, Marchand has really become the player most Bruins fans thought he could be. Marchand struggled quite a bit last season, but so far, he has improved this year."
**

What ??

He is just under last years numbers so far on a team not near as good as last years.His penalty mins are up though.Do not like that.The article hit good though on most.If Bruins do not keep Soderberg Chia should be canned and never allowed back in Boston.lol

It's an exaggeration but Marchand isnt going to put up loads of points, he's a goal scorer. Hes our leading goal scorer so hes doing his job.

He was invisible for a month but as of late he's been good

 

[robert terwilliger]

this feels like articles i used to read making fun of that blowhard nfl draft guy on espn for grading every nfl draft a c- to a b+.

 

[Era of Sanity]

I don't think this guy has seen many Bruins games this year.

Overrating Bergeron, Marchand, Soderberg and Lucic.

 

[BNHL]

Complete crap!

Can't wait to see your D and Goalie grades...

How was Chris Kelly's trade possibility calculated... 18%

OK..

I love that you noticed that too. Reminds me of a comic strip my 8th grade science teacher showed to us to teach us about significant digits. It was of a kid telling his dad that the dinosaur bones in a museum were 200,000,003 years old, because he went to the museum 3 years ago, and the sign said the bones were 200 million years old.

Seriously. 20% or 15%. I'd even accept "1 in 6". But 18%...whaaa?

And, to be honest, how does a team that's currently ranked about 20 or 21st in GF only have two players with a C, and not even one C-? Personally, I'm no too happy with the backup we've been getting from Providence. That's been the key to our success - we had injuries last year (Loui, McQuaid, Kelly, and even Boychuk IIRC), and managed to do well. This year...meh. That said, he only evaluated two first year players - Cunningham and Griffith.

"This guy" is not good at writing about hockey stuff, is all over the place:

Milan Lucic: Lucic has grabbed more attention recently for his negative antics than his offensive play this season. Being a power forward he is prone to getting penalties, but lately, those penalties have become costly. He has been leading the Bruins in hits by a fair amount. He has been playing better than many fans would like to admit, but he still has lost an element of his game this season. Lucic historically starts slow, so he will most likely pick it up in the coming months. Even though Lucic hasn’t been as good lately, he is still one of the core members of this Bruins team. It would take a lot to trade him.

 

[JOKER 192]

Complete crap!

Gotta agree

 

[Pia8988]

No way this team as a whole grades that highly. Paille and Campbell are both closer to D than C.
As a side note, does anyone know where to find which unit has been on the ice for goals given up while on the PK?
