Player Discussion Jakub Zboril

[Dennis Bonvie]

He also said he had a talk with Sweeney

big changes per Sweeney sound like Chara gone

‘I believe I’m better then Lauzon’ is outstanding revelation even if he isn’t

he’s confident

I don’t think I’ve ever read an interview like this from the Bruins brain washing on and off the ice

too funny the Bruins knew so much about what he was doing

love they gave him 1 way and everyone said sign it

He may suck but I went to two of the last 12 games they played and they ran the table and he was like a traffic cop out there directing play

I called Eric on ride home to see if we watched same thing and he agreed

the last guy kicked to curb is a lot different then him - he’s from another area of world and refreshing interview

He sounds somewhat immature to me.

 

[Dr Hook]

In his career?

Why you gotta hate, man?

 

[member 96824]

I forgot about the fitness testing that was pretty funny.

Who am I hating?

He is a 23 year old jock, what can you expect?

On Zboril, 15 goals in a career? Ouch, that's cold

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Better chance of that than 15 next season, no?

 

[Dr Hook]

Well yeah, point taken. But it's the Don, he always says wild ass things

You're right.

 

[PB37]

Wasn’t there a story on a draft prospect who played too many video games? Or did I make that up.

I think the rumor lead to possibly someone from Vancouver or Winnipeg.

 

[PB37]

Rubbing me the wrong way too,he comes across as a arrogant dick
It's to bad as all the interviews he's done last few years painted a very different picture

I disagree. I think it shows confidence and a little gamesmanship between ( former and potential ) teammates. Marchand and Krug use to rag on each other all the time, from who was taller, who was better looking, and it became a game as to who had the better quips. I don't know if he and Lauzon are close, but seeing as they both are from the 2015 draft and have spent a lot of time together in the minors, I wouldn't doubt it.

 

[Wooren]

Him saying he believes he's better than Lauzon probably wasn't necessary, but it doesn't come off as arrogant to me.

"Věřím, že jsem lepší." would be translated to "I believe I am better", but "I hope I am better" would also be a correct transaltion.

I think Zboril meant the remark in a confident and hopeful way that he can beat out Lauzon at the camp, rather than throwing him under the bus and implying Lauzon should have never been up before him in the first place.

Hopefully lost in translation
For the record i don't have an issue asking for a trade

Not happening you have a no movement clause.

We need all those baby bruins updates.

It’s not a crazy idea. Since he looked nhl ready in the couple games I saw him play. I can’t wait to see how he handles an nhl season. This prospect is one of the more exciting ones imo.

In his career?

Ok 10 goals next year book it.

 

[The Andrew Peeke Fan]

Zboril playing with former best bud Peter Mueller in Brno. Have not watched him a single second there, friend says he looks "lean" and "quick".

Additionally, he is better than Lauzon.

Bookmarked

I don't mind it either if it was a case where for all he knows Chara is going to keep playing, Krug is looking at a long-term deal (as we all thought at the time), and Gryz being there he didn't think he was going to get an opportunity any time soon.

Bookmarked

double bookmarked.

 

[cat400]

Setting aside one was a 2nd rounder and the other was a mid 1st rounder, it is worth reflecting that it took Adam McQuaid until he was 24 before he secured a full time NHL position and that turned out quite nicely.

 

[The don godfather]

I got so excited about this kid that I bought his rookie card for 2 bucks. It's a no brainer hes gonna play well and the card doubles. Let's go little z!!

All understandable. Nothing to forgive.

Why does the press know about it, though?

Telling the press about your 22 year old self asking to be traded is some low IQ shit. Right up there with talking down teammates.

Why ?

I think its just the opposite.

The kid wanted a chance to play in the NHL and by going public about it, he forced Sweeney hand, and Sweeney isn't going to get anything close to where he went in the notorious 2015 draft.

Because he won't be traded upon request. He has no leverage.

"Forced Sweeney's hand"

Jesus Christ.
