Player Discussion Brandon Carlo II

[chizzler]

He’s playing back to where he was before the injuries. Playing confident.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

He has been very good, we all know he will never be the physical guy we want but his size lets him absorb the big hits and make plays.

 

[Dr Hook]

He threw a pretty bone crunching hit last night. I know it isn't his game and probably will never be a sizable component of it, but I wish he would do it just a little more.

 

[Grasshopperking]

On the NBC feed Boucher said Carlo hopped off the ice to give Reilly (?) the +, and came back on when Wilson started doing his dumb shit

That was the hit on Kuznetsov iirc?

 

[Dr Hook]

That was the hit on Kuznetsov iirc?

yeah I think so- along the boards in the defensive zone. It was a crunch.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

He can be (effectively) physical when he is told to focus on it. In the Dub he actually had a mean streak every now and then. Have not seen it since.

 

[The Murph]

Honestly, don't care if the plays his passive style in the regular season. He can get by without it.

But the playoffs are a different story. He looked more assertive physically in game 4 and it took his game up a notch, and that version is a beast of a defenseman.

Only hope he can keep it up, because he can make the defense that much better.

 

[hrdpuk]

Carlo is one of the best D on the team . His style of shutdown D is one of the best in the NHL

 

[Over the volcano]

Almost had the shift of his career late in the game last night, inches away from blowing up Wilson (who bailed on the play) then dumped Ovechkin seconds later as the Caps watched their season die.

 

[Alicat]

He was solid again tonight. I think the cobwebs have finally been shaken loose.

He's going to be a beast in round 2.

 

[The National]

Hall Gill Jr. needs to figure it out, he was a mess out there last night.

 

[Dellstrom]

Yup. I love how rarely you hear his name called during the game. Means he's doing his job well.

Who Carlo??

cmon, give the guy a break. He has been excellent on the PK

He had a rough night last night, especially the first two periods. Even the NESN guys commented on the inexplicable stat that claimed he has no turnovers last night.

He was horrible last night. His inability to clear the puck on the PK lead to a PPG for Isles.

We’ve seen him play a lot better last round, hopefully it was a fluke.

Last night not his best, I'd like to see him clear the net a bit better.

bruins have a decision to make....I would imagine we would be seeking a Pesce type deal (+inflation)....Seth Jones says he's going to UFA after next year, I would def inquire and make carlo part of the package

Bruins are pretty short on the right side. Mac is a stud and lifer...can Clifton be a 2nd pair? I don't think so. Providing his next deal isn't insane I would think the Bruins would give him 4-5 years.

I really like Carlo but switching to Seth Jones for the anchor spot on that 2nd pairing would be an upgrade. Or better yet, having all three would be amazing depth ( DeBrusk part of the package going to CBus ).

No way

Jones is going to cost 8 plus million per season

Carlo will be half of that max

Also Mac is this teams #1 RD for the next decade

Cant pay 8m+ a season for a 2nd pair RD

you can when your entire left side doesn’t make eight million total

At this point, Clifton is probably going to be on the Seattle Kraken top pair next year.

I know we’re in PO mode, but just for the record I already hate the Kraken.

He's a good kid and a good player but it did seem like he was pretty insecure and scrambly out there. Maybe the sold out crowd spooked him after a year of empty buildings, who knows. I think he'll be better moving forward.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

he had a rough game.
his inability to clear the puck on the pk or when we are hemmed in will cost us again at some point.
