Drop the gloves

[Boston Bruno]

I totally think the bruins need to get more ground and pound in the line up.
Thats what makes us the bruins.
I am not advocating a John Scott, but if they could find a couple more guys to throw the body and play a heavy game, I would be delighted.
I would LOVE if the GM found a D man to fill some of the gap whom played heavy.

Campbell had heart
Lucic used to fight more

Habs getting Kassian is kinda concerning

Coming from a huge (former) Kassian fan, Beleskey will handle him. No question.

I might have to disagree with this a bit.

At the NHL level, I don't think Kassian has ever won a scrap. Beleskey is an underrated brawler, I'm telling you. Rinaldo would even give Kassian a real hard time as well.

I remember Kassian dropping Sestito, who yes, is kind of a punching bag but he's a willing Heavy. I don't think Beleseky has one notable win...

Sestito to me, is the Gregory Campbell of heavyweights. But I did forget about that one...I still like my chances.

FWIW, Beleskey dropped Bieksa. Twice.

Don't think those were "Drops" more like pull downs/fall downs. It was voted a draw on DYG.

We need to stop picking players based on their fighting ability. It will get you nowhere in today's nhl.

Fact of the matter is, my preference when I fought, I always went after the goons. The big guys. Somebody like Bieksa would give me a harder time than a guy like Kassian. A guy like Rinaldo would give Kassian a beat down IMO.

Oh, I don't disagree. Lots of time the smaller, shiftier guys will get in close and score some points. Unless the heavy they are fighting is legit... (See Rypien/Carkner)

I just don't see Beleskey as a good fighter, serviceable for sure, but I would pick Kassian in that fight 9/10.

I think it would be a good tussle. Hope to see it January 1st. Winter Classic, the outdoor game.

 

[Duguay]

Winning hockey games is the most important thing, but admittedly winning the fights AND winning the game -- is top drawer.

This team doesn't look like it will get pushed around. I am not worried about this. More worried about team speed and breakout.

McQuaid
K.Miller
Beleskey
Randell

Robins is no longer with the Bruins.
Essentially done.

IDK if some people can read...........I said a player who can fight AND play

then mentioned Ryan Reaves

 

[TheBT]

I don't think we need to carry a heavy in-division right now but could pick up some toughness going through LA etc.

Great video!! I'm gonna miss Looch, was one of my faves...

The guy who uploaded this has a few other great videos too, I love the "NHL mic'd up/chirp" videos... lots of Bruin stuff in those lol. Very entertaining.

Oh yeah!!! I'm subscribed to that kid THE MOOK on youtube. Very rare you see a Bruins fan making youtube vids. (I think he is anyway). Great video!!

But... Ryan Reaves can't really play.

 

[DitClapper]

Sad about Bobby Robins. Pretty great story right there, too bad it didn't last too long. Bobby's tough as nails.

He is like a Thornton soooooooooooooo

Reaves can play.

 

[Central Scrutinizer]

Chris Stewart.

 

[DitClapper]

Chris Stewart.

Can't say I'd be against it, but we're actually loaded at RW for the moment. I doubt Sweeney has interest. Defense is where his mind is at.

unless he moves a forward to acquire a D and signs Stewart cheap on a 1 year deal.
