Blidh, Acciari and Randell should be in tonight. Hayes gone, Nash sitting.
No reason Randell isn't up on this team, he's Brett Hull compared to some of the forwards on this team.

This organization wouldn't know what to do with Brett Hull, wasn't a good penalty killer.
People need to get off the Randell wagon. He scored 6 goals on 18 shots. He looked mediocre in the games he was up except for the 6 shifts where he scored. He's not the answer. He threw only about 1 hit per game too. He's Shawn Thornton in the hitting department, not very good for his role.
That being said, anyone is better than Hayes.

Just looking at Randell as a goal scorer and extrapolating his ice time and games played vs Hayes' ice time and games played, and putting Randell at a normal shooting percentage he would still have averaged 10-11 goals vs Lil Jimmy's 2 goals over the same time, while Nash may bring a much better defensive game his offense is also comparable.
You are correct that his hitting is not where it should be for a fourth line energy/enforcer/grinder but that is his weak spot and goes back to his skating. For his limited ice time I still look at his NHL time vs some of the other current forwards and would take him on this team over a few in the bottom 6, especially against teams like Montreal, Anaheim, LA and Columbus.
Not saying he is a solution to the scoring problems at forward but he is a solution to the fourth line RW issue.
Yup hear Claude say this all the time.
"back to back" and "mentality tired" was what he said last time after the Avs game.
you can go back and listen to the interview if you want
I guess since it's back to back, we should just expect that again.
but hoping for the best and no Hayes plz
Would love to see Bergeron score
I said it before someone needed to help Randell with his skating. He shown he can score which is rare but is a bit slow of foot and awereness. Those can be taught if the investment is worth it. He may have been passed bye on the depth chart and in claudes view. What about some of the bigger guys in the AHL, Hickman, Cave, Hargrove on Dee Grant, O'Gara

Does not look good, too bad I really liked the guy. Last year 5 fights in Boston, 6 goals in 16 games, looks like Kevan's shoulder is shot so he may not fight anymore
Tyler Randell RW 24 games, 0goals, 3asts, 3pts -10, 25pim

Too bad I had hopes for him and Ferlin the last few years as a hitting scoring 4th line duo.

Did I say I wanted that?
I asked how long until it starts to happen? Its bound to. People go to the games follow this team at some level.. They see this plug in the lineup night in and night out doing jack. Alcohol gets flowing. You know the drill.
Stay classy, San Diego.

I can't imagine that happening. Has it ever? I've heard mock cheering for simple plays when even the simplest plays seem to have eluded the team. I've heard the team get raspberries from the crowd for horrible play. I don't know that I've ever heard a single player get it. I'm not saying it's never happened. I'm saying I don't remember it.

Randell's confidence is probably shot knowing that he sat half the season last year despite being better, and more productive than the entire 4th line we had. That said, i would like to see the Bruins add Reaves. He hits like a truck and is a damn good fighter.
Oh well, time to tune in and watch the Jimmy Hayes of the world go out, do nothing and collect some cash.

I think most of us promote Randell not because he's the answer, or that we love the player, but because the absolute, total lack of offense the group I mentioned above has given this team thus far. It's absolutely pathetic. 4 goals in 114 man-games. Holy sweet merciful that is bad.
Our promotion of Randell is more of an indictment of that sad sorry group of forwards than it is thinking Randell is going to be some sort of answer.

Is it considered appropriate to serve duck during the holidays? Hope so. Sure some fans would be willing to have the players grab a couple for them to pluck.
Another tough game. Back to back so dig deep to find that edge.
Let's Go Bruins!

You love to hate on Riley Nash, but you think that Randell, who hasn't scored in the AHL this season, is a viable option? People are delusional if they think he is better option than any current Bruin, besides MAYBE Jimmy Hayes, even then though....
Enough negativity in this thread though, let's keep it positive and hope for a solid game by the B's!!!

I ran through a whole list of players, and didn't single out Nash in my OP.
But I will continue to call out the garbage hockey players dragging down this team, and that includes Zero-zone Nash.
But back to a more postive topic like you said.
Who is starting tonight?
If it's Khudobin here's to him having a strong performance!

Anaheim Ducks have 22 fighting majors, that leads the league. They had 10 more in the preseason! 32..

Barely Irrelevant
The Ducks led the NHL in fighting majors last year also.
The Bruins were 4th...and missed the playoffs.
Don't see the correlation between fighting majors and successful seasons.
