Bryan Allen

[Maliki2]

Good for him standing up to his teammates tonight!

 

[loudi94]

I know it's only his first game but he is a turnover machine.

 

[phoque taupe]

he fits right in then

 

[Mike8]

Yeah, rough first outing.

 

[A1]

Yeah, he's looking very number 7ish for us. Play against the big teams mostly.

 

[Habs]

Looked like Patrick Traverse.

 

[Seb]

Send him to the AHL, wait for his contract to end. Win.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

First game is usually the worst. Weaver also looked like a scrub his first game after being traded. Not that I have any expectations Allen will be much better than this.

 

[Hoople]

The first time Sekac played on Eller's line, that line looked like ****.

Give him some time. This team needs more than Emelin as a stay at home D.

First game with him in the lineup, Price gets his first shut-out in Boston. He will adapt.

 

[Top Corner2]

Definitely turnovers, but also some solid veteran plays...and definitely uses his frame

 

[Deebs]

For being here a day, he did alright. You have to expect him to make mistakes on breakouts and whatnot. You have to. Blocked a couple of shots, got a couple of hits in, played the PK well.

He's as advertised....a bottom pairing, big body, penalty killing defensemen. Exactly what Bergy wanted.

I don't mind the 7 Dmen every other night either. With the age at the backend, the team is allowed to drop their minutes by a couple each night. With the youth and legs up front, somebody getting doubled shifted every now and then does nothing to hurt the club.

 

[c3z4r]

He was terrible today. Hopefully he gets better, like Weaver did, otherwise he needs to be a healthy scratch.

 

[Born in 1909]

I like the sucker punch Lucic gave him.

Allen will remember that one.

 

[Natural Habs Fan]

Looked like Patrick Traverse.

That is name that I'm happy not to hear any more.

 

[Kojo]

Good upgrade over Murray.

 

[sharks9]

He sucked today. Hopefully when Bournival gets back they make Allen a healthy scratch

 

[capebretoncanadien]

He looked brutal.

Slow and bad with the puck.

Send him to the minors and play Tinordi/Beaulieu.

 

[Vern]

he reminded me of murray but a lot more mobile.

im sure tinner could learn a lot from him

 

[Whitesnake]

Wasn't good at all. But let's put it on rust and miscommunication. No need to bash him and think he's purely useless based on 1 game. The guy had no idea about our system, didn't know his teamates and pretty important to remember that he only played 6 games this year.

 

[Fazkovsky]

Send allen to ham and call up thinner

 

[SpeedyPotato]

Wow you guys are harsh haha!!! Yeah he wasn't that great tonight, but turnovers were mostly due to miscommunication IMO. He seems more mobile than Murray, didn't get burned, played his position well on a 2 on 1 which allowed Carey to make an easy save, was big in front of the net... I think he's a solid asset and I like our D much more now with him and Gonchar.

Normal around here. Weise was garbage before he ever played a soft.

The way I see it Allen is an upgrade over Murray, Allen can't be worst than Murray. He bring size and physicality in front of Carey Price. And just like Murray he'll probably miss some games. It's better than Tinordi.

 

[Devourers]

He had one turnover that was peewee levels of bad, but aside from that I felt he was excellent considering expectations were quite low.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Will cut him some slack with it being 1st game and all that but he needs to be paired with a PMD not Weaver
