Player Discussion Brett Ritchie

[Alan Ryan]

i'm one of the few who's looking forward to kevan miller's return

I'm with you nugs. Miller will help a lot.

Oh yeah, another tough player that many seem to want gone.

I personally can't wait until he's back.

 

[prizminferno]

Yeah, he isn't though. He's been much better than Wagner and Kuraly all year.

The 4th liners? Ritchie has played a top 6 role at times.

Ritchie has played top 6 for like 3 minutes this entire season.

You said he is by far the worst forward, and it's not close.

You're wrong.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAH I WANT FIGHTING AND HITS GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Solid response, man.

Maybe Kuraly but I don't think Ritchie has been better than Wagner.

 

[Sheppy]

Maybe Kuraly but I don't think Ritchie has been better than Wagner.

That’s fine, I disagree. He’s been better than Kuraly, Wagner & Backes for me.

Oh, and for all the "nobody ever said we don't want a tough team" and "it's a strawman argument". Here you go, exhibit A, B and C in the case for the wussification of hockey

The guy constantly trolls around here

Why are you taking his opinion here and treating it as if it's the majority opinion on this board?

I don't get why you leave absolutely no room for any sort of gray area. As if anyone who doesn't agree with you 100% automatically hates hitting and toughness.

This trolling by that poster is your defense that you can never point out people stating they don’t want a tough team?’

No one states they don’t want a tough team but when someone does say they want some speed and skill you blanket the whole board as not wanting a tough team.

Fenian translates in English to "strawman".

I wouldn’t play Ritchie over Kuraly or Wagner.

Ritchie skates like there’s two cans of Progresso soup under his boots instead of blades.

 

[PlayMakers]

Anchor. Hated seeing him with Krejci and DeBrusk, immediately killed that line's effectiveness. First shift out they got hemmed in their zone and he failed to get it out 3 times.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Too slow for the 4th line.

Not good enough for top-9.

Press box.

I’m still baffled at that mid game change by Sweeney. Heinen played well to that point imo. And he definitely brings more offensively than Richie.

Also prior to that change the fourth line had a really hard hitting shift and good possession in the offensive zone.

Heinen was nails all night, too. Wagner has looked pretty good, and I’ve been critical of him, but he’s proving me wrong, IMO. Ritchie should see the press box or waiver wire. Just don’t see where he fits in with this coach or team, it’s quite baffling, honestly.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

I'm rolling from this.

 

[CDJ]

I think he’s a good 13th forward to have

Doesn’t belong in the regular lineup though. Maybe if they ever feel they need size in the game they could plug him in but he rly shouldn’t play regularly imo

 

[The National]

This guy sucked tonight. Stone hands.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

This guy sucked tonight. Stone hands.

Would have preferred Cehlarik. I'm not sure hes over whatever illness cause him to miss time.

 

[Absurdity]

He was one of the reasons why Montreal scored their 3rd goal. He peeled off covering Byron and went to the bench while Montreal created a 2 on 1 going into the Bruins zone and scored. Cassidy is not too pleased.

 

[KlausJopling]

Anytime the opponents have the puck he just seems like he’s in no mans land. Reminds me of belesky after the injuries. His skating is just not there.

I’m guessing Hughes goes back in in the 4th line next game. Just not the spot for him.
