Post-Game Talk: GAME 66 THE BEAR HARPOONS A WHALE - BRUINS 4 Hartford 3 F/OT

[lopey]

Coyle has been so meh, I don’t see it.

Playing with crap right now

 

[Kate08]

I haven't seen anything saying he was hospitalized. I would hope news outlets would know the difference between being taken to the hospital and actually being hospitalized.

Well, it's ESPN and it's hockey, so I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Go 100% lit up by Ferland. It was a good clean hit, but he got rocked. As I said that I also must admit, I would 100% take Ferland on this team next year. Re-sign MoJo and get Ferland...

Marchand - Bergeron - Heinen
DeBrusk - Krejci - Pastrnak
Ferland - Coyle - MoJo

^That's a nice top 9....then go with a young 4th line of Cehlarik - Frederic - Karson

Too bad Ferland *apparently* wants a shit ton of cash

 

[CDJ]

Espn app sent out an alert saying that MoJonwas hospitalized.

Picking nits but going to the hospital as a precautionary measure and being hospitalized are two very different things to me. Do we know if he was admitted or if he just had some tests?

Cassidy said something about him going there, I’m sure it’s just testing. Doubt Cassidy would’ve made the comments he did if it was anything serious. I agree with you btw, a little transparency goes a long way on this issue lol

Coyle has been so meh, I don’t see it.

He's been terrific despite not scoring.

His line had a shift last night in the 2nd period that helped the Bruins assert dominance.

I probably wasn't clear because I was posting while I was trying to do 4 things at once, but I was 100% blaming ESPN for not reporting the situation correctly. Unless they are, in which case, shit.

He wants a top 6 forward contract I'm sure. I'd have loved him on our 3rd line.

 

[Krupp]

I'd just be happy with Mojo being back and healthy soon.

I'm a horrendous poker player. I hate going all in and I tend to fold fairly often. Probably why I suck at it. But I was relieved Mojo was brought in without having to sacrifice a ton to get him at the time and i'm still glad for that now, especially considering he got hurt as of last night. Here's to hoping he bounces right back

 

[ODAAT]

Ever defenseman (maybe with the exception of Carlo) had a rough game. They didn’t seem prepared for Carolina’s forecheck.

Won`t argue that however, in all the games that I have seen involving the Canes , and I try to as much as I can as they are fun to watch, their overall team speed and relentless motor causes fits for opponents every game. Where they get into trouble is that they have little in the way of defensive structure

 

[mar2kbos]

Was at the game, the young girl that sang the anthem was impressive. Started nervous but she belted the tough parts with authority and really sent spine chills to people in the stands.

Pretty impressive for a 12 year old.

He's looking for Wilson type money, which is around $5 million a year.

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

He's looking for Wilson type money, which is around $5 million a year.

Not to go crazy with too much baseless speculation, but I’m pretty sure one of the big insiders had mentioned back in January that they heard his ask was closer to $7M than Wilson-level

Who knows if that’s true or not

 

[CDJ]

Ferland will get 5/25 then in year 3 he will fall off of a cliff. As is power forward tradition

 

[prizminferno]

Yeah Ferland isn't good

 

[ODAAT]

Ferland will get 5/25 then in year 3 he will fall off of a cliff. As is power forward tradition

yep, I see Wilson, in 2-3 years falling into the same category Looch is in now. It`s just so hard to play that style without it impacting your body and it`s recovery to playing that way

 

[22Brad Park]

Playing with crap right now

How you can say that.Backes last nite made a few plays happen.That save on Marchand where he was robbed was cause of him getting in on forecheck.Coyle played in Minny with their top liners and only had 10 goals you know.Coyle is a 3rd liner .

 

[22Brad Park]

If the hit was clean (I didn’t see it), then why did he have to answer for it?

Cause clean or not you cannot have guys laying big hits on your skill guys without knowing its gonna be dealt with is why

 

[Tbaybruin]

Sign Jake to a 6 year 4.75 mil per deal July 1. We will be thankfull

 

[Alicat]

Hopefully we hear something soon now that they are practicing

 

[ON3M4N]

On Jan 19th in a Sportsnet article about Ferland's next deal

“The feeling is now that Ferland would be looking for Tom Wilson-type money,” Kypreos reported Saturday during the Headlines segment of Hockey Night in Canada.

 

[prizminferno]

why do people want another left shot LW?

 

[Alicat]

Well, it's ESPN and it's hockey, so I wouldn't be surprised.

ESPN shouldn't be allowed to talk hockey ever.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Who are you referring to?

I don't know though. Backes and Lucic around the 30 year old mark and both had a lot of miles on the tires. Ferland and Wilson are not there yet.

We'll say Backes fell off the cliff when he first came to Boston. Age - 32 / 727 GP

Now on Lucic lets go with him starting to fall off last season where he managed his worst p/gp in his career. Age - 29 / 729 GP

^BTW those don't include playoffs or international competition

Now let me throw in where Ferland and Wilson are career wise. To keep it cleaner I've added Backes & Lucic in as well for comparison

Players age at fall off & GP
Backes: Age - 32 / 727 GP
Lucic: Age - 29 / 729 GP
Ferland: Age - 26 / 307 GP
Wilson: Age - 24 / 438 GP
