Confirmed with Link: Gemel Smith - Waived by Boston 12/18

[Blowfish]

So why did Dallas not want him ? Anyone know?

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Doubt it.Cassidy sat Wagner over him tonite.

Hope he hits,Wagner was one of only a few that does.

Not a big hitter at all - competes

Good forecheck

They heard the Bruins needed more 4th liners...

 

[DKH]

Sweeney has the 4th line market cornered.

Why they are in last place

 

[The don godfather]

Maybe another move coming hopefully. If not pathetic.

Making room for Hanzal i believe. He's coming off the IR.

Their fans are upset though... they list 3 or 4 other players who should have been waived instead

Doesnt seem like Smith is only a 4th line calibre player

Looks like has hands for at least 3rd line duties

Also has world class skating speed and in your face forechecker

Wonder how he'd look with a guy like Senyshyn on the other wing. Imagine the speed those two could play with lol.

Good to have a brother on the team.

Seems he doesn't mind getting his nose dirty either...

Hanzal coming back, and for some reason they think Ritchie is a better option. I don't agree, I liked Smith a lot, thought he was a good bottom 6 guy who scores on occasion. He got a solid chance last year, but under the new coach he's been overlooked. I think Smith will do well in Boston.

Why is it pathetic?

Why bother asking? There'll just be another torrent of discombobulated posts either way

I need to know. I fully expect Smith to score in his first game as a Bruin, and DonFather will be proclaiming him as the next great stud and probably praising Sweeney for a masterful pickup. Then he'll go a game or two without a point and we'll have to hear about how Smith needs to be waived.

 

[Over the volcano]

I don’t know anything about the guy - Sweeney should do better

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Do we have a corresponding roster move yet?


edit- Looks like Clifton will be sent down, as he's no longer on the B's roster

Dope

I saw dom giving this kid the thumbs up so that’s good enough for me

Does wagner really hit???

I mean if it really doesn't affect the play do you count it as a hit? He hits like he's playing against toddlers, sure their there but not very impactfull at all. I think Kuraly and Smiths speed with their forechecking ability will cause a lot more havoc and create more turnovers than Wagners love taps he delivers.

 

[nfld77]

So another bottom 6 forward? If this pushes Acciari to the bench I'm all for it.

EXACTLY..Acciari has a team worse -7 and 1 assist in 24 games..Can someone PLEASE give some kind of explanation as to why he's a regular night in night out???

Wagner is by far the front runner on Boston in terms of hits.

Is that what you call it when a woman is trying to smother you in your sleep with the pillow?

I call that a Saturday night, and the reason I'm smothered isn't because of a pillow.

 

[nfld77]

You and I will be extremely happy with this kid. AND IF YOU AND I ARE HAPPY, EVERY ONE HERE WILL BE

Dom I always put 100% truse in what you post BUT it concerns me as to why he was replaced by a 7th defenseman in the Stars line up earlier in the season and why he only played 3 minutes last game against Nucks.. BUT if he can replace the Bruin who played 24 games with only 1 assist, YET has the worst +/- on team with a -7, tied with Donato and Krug has a -6..
