Rumor: Bruins interested in Karl Alzner

[SpezDispenser]

Bang up off-season for Boston!

Is the pickle jar a true verified story

Yes. This is a quote from Alzner in 2017.

“The ones that get you inside the knee usually don’t feel good because you can’t really do a whole lot,” Alzner said. “They just send that shooting pain down your leg and you start hobbling around a little bit. Those ones suck.”
“Sometimes where you get hit right in the hand, we have gloves on, but they only protect you a little bit,” Alzner continued. “You get them right in the hand, it’s pretty easy to break something. It’s kind of embarrassing, but my wife (Mandy) is the one who opens up all the jars in our house because my hands have been broken so many times from the shots. I’ve got pretty weak hands now.”

Could this be possible since big Z signed with Washington.

Hasn't Alzner been awful the last few years?

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Hes been great. Now sign him Bruins, you wont regret it.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Hasn't Alzner been awful the last few years?

He would probably be fine as a league min taxi squad guy. I wouldn't count on him to be much more though.

I think at this point in his career he would be best as an AHL captain. Essentially an on ice coach for your prospects

Judging by the Bruins defence options this season that actually sounds like he’ll fit right in!

Just resign chara

Chara is gone to the Caps. I can see this happening. Do it please.

 

[Billdo]

Hasn't Alzner been awful the last few years?

Yes. Like as awful as awful can get. Even worse than that.

 

[Random schmoe]

Alzner was only -1 last year. That's better than Torey Krug was. Sign him! Preferably multiple years, just to make sure he doesn't get away.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I wonder if Craig Smith regrets signing in Boston

 

[Favster]

When he is playing in the NHL, Karl Alzner is the worst Dman and possibly player in the entire league. He is a defensive Dman who is awful at Defence.

Chara is gone to the Caps. I can see this happening. Do it please.

Maybe.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Imagine if they actually acquired his bum ass after dumping Chara.

I’d stop being a fan at that point if my team did that

 

[McGarnagle]

No. They have Lauzon and Vaakanainen ready to fill the open defense slots, and they're paying John Moore way too much money to be leapfrogged by some other slapdick as their 7th defenseman.

 

[Kocur Dill]

Lol. WTF?

How is Alzner an improvement over Chara, who basically brought a turnabout culture with him when Bos signed him away from Ottawa?

#noloyalty

 

[Mick Jagr]

The guys a warrior. 1 yr 750 k no brainer

If by Warrior you mean slow as hell defensive liability.... then, yeah. He sure is a "warrior!"

 

[habamillions]

Hasn't Alzner been awful the last few years?

He was so good montreal gave him 4.6 mil for 6 yrs and then let him play in the ahl for a yr and then bought him out.

 

[Number8]

You’d think that in 2020 we’d all have a bit more compassion for our fellow species members than this. You guys wishing Alzner on us has just destroyed my faith in mankind. Why do you all have to be so so so spiteful?

I realize that’s being extremely rude to Karl, but even I have limits on my compassion for others.

still an upgrade on jack johnson
