Player Discussion Jakub Zboril

[arider1990]

Oh, he has improved a bit since his junior days for sure but he's still nowhere near an nhl dman, he's lost in his own zone u'll see. Anyway like I said, just need time before people realise. Also need time before people realise how bad sweeney has been and how f***ed we'll be in the upcoming years. Dorion > sweeney

I have watched him and he definitely is not lost in the his own zone. At this point I'm more worried about you ever realizing it. As for the gm thing you do realize that Dorion has done jack shit while having 3 picks in top 5. Sweeney on the other hand has won the GM of the year award. Something that Dorion will never do at this rate. But if you think he is so much better than you should go root for the Sens instead.

Don't need to worry about me, I've seen him play enough to make my own judgement and to tell you that he isn't a very good dman. If you don't believe then u can make ur own judgement when u see him play next season(which will most likely be similar to mine if you know ur hockey and you arent dumb). And if you don't realise how well of a job Dorion has made while handcuffed by terrible owner then I dont know what to tell u. Replace Chiarelli with Dorion when he got fired and we def win a cup and we'd be in a way better position prospects wise. But go ahead and love sweeney all u want, ur in for some dark upcoming seasons as much as I am.

I love when people use hypotheticals as facts to make a point. You immediately lose when doing that.

So if Dorian was the Bruins GM and did things similar to trading Mika Zibenejjad + a 2nd round pick for Derrick Brassard, passing on Mcavoy or even Chychrun for Logan Brown, trading what ended up being Matt Tkachuck++ for a couple seasons of Matt Duchene, Trading Mark Stone and not getting a 1st round pick, etc, you would be fine with that on not on here bitching?

What am I losing again? I aint trying to win anything fam, just stating facts that u'll notice by urself in a couple of months (Zboril) or years for sweeney (cuz he still has Bergy, Marchy and Pasta for a few years to carry his bad judgements)

 

[Alberta_OReilly_Fan]

Some bizzaro logic being presented in this thread... but im pretty sure its not related to zboril

maybe start a new thread who you want as our gm.

I will vote megan fox because id like to hear her talk about my team as i do my thing

The logic is that if you aren't "dumb" (I think he meant stupid) and know hockey, then you will agree that Zboril is a terrible defenseman. So I can see how it is related . . . I think

 

[DKH]

Zboril is terrible, I can't wait till u guys realise it lol. It's fine tho, i understand some of you guys havent seen him play much like I did. This thread will be flooded by how bad he is in 3 months. I also expect more Sweeney bash once we miss the loffs next season. Dorion is also a better gm than sweeney but i've never said I wanted Dorion.. I said I wanted someone like Dorion (an ex scout) for the rebuild that is coming.

Let’s Meet up next Providence game you have a lot of interesting takes i would like to hear more

loffs? What’s that

 

[1dreamof1cup]

I cant wait to bump this thread next february . Im the first who wanted Zboril to succeed and was pretty excited when they drafted him as I live 20 minutes away from the TD station and am a huge bruins fan (Got myself season tickets both year after he got drafted). I also have an ahltv subscription so I have watched many providence game the last few year and I'm not talking through my hat. You guys are free to make up ur own opinion when you see him play but people expecting a top 4 dman are seriously going to be disapointed.

 

[Over the volcano]

The big ?'s on Zboril at the draft was inconsistency, drifting focus, and letting his emotions get him away from the team game. All of those sound like kid issues. Granted some kids never get past them even as they become adults. But he's put in the time in Providence and they've been pushing and waiting on the consistency to develop. If he's there then he could be one hell of a defenseman for this club. There was never a question of his skills or potential.

 

[DKH]

Tell me what has Sweeney done for u too love him that much lol (outside of beeing an ex bruins players)? Hes been brutal.

This is exactly why this board has deteriorated

95% of my buds who have been here for years don’t even sign on

I’m maybe 15 minutes a day

and it’s this type that makes me not even care and join HF text groups to talk hockey and everything else basically

No need to respond I am not sure if it will matter by the time I go on again

I’m still keeping my account but this is what you get is it make you want to log on

Other posters are free to “make up” their own opinions?

How big of you to allow that...I’m sure posters are grateful.

jury is out on this kid. Has he been what was hoped when drafted? Nope, not unless the plan all along was to use a first round pick on a guy who might contend for a spot 5 years down the line.

Zboril’s future and Sweeney’s performance are both debatable. Luckily most of long time, frequent posters follow a pattern of respectful debate. Most. Clearly not all.

What is factual about ragging on Sweeney and saying that if we had Dorion we would have won a cup?

 

[Don Cherry]

I'm now anxious to see this kid. It's often said that it takes defensemen longer to develop. Hopefully he'll be worth waiting for.

 

[Deuce17]

I always check youtube. There was none. If I can't see it then it didn't happen.

Hockeyfigjts.com you’re welcome bro. If you’re checking YouTube for hockey fighting info you are REALLY missing the boat

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

This kid has a chance to prove a crap load of people wrong. He's my main focus if a season begins

 

[shelbysdad]

I wonder this as well. That you asked two weeks ago and haven't gotten an answer pretty much tells us his gloves are glued on.

Lauzon, on the other hand, is not afraid. That kid is going to be a good one.

Agree....we should have a poll for 3rd D protected....Lauzon or Grz

 

[Over the volcano]

Looked great last night- calm and contained, quick, smooth and strong on the puck, good decisions and no scrambling panic moments.

Thought he was the best of the kids (McAvoy's dynamic game excluded). He and Miller looked like the top pair. Hope it sticks for him and the others put it together a little more. . .

 

[JCRO]

Zboril was very solid last night. Happy for him. Even got rewarded with some 3 on 3 OT time.

Killer likes the simple transition game. Sticking to the basics/keep it simple stupid/what have you. IMO that allowed Gryz to really develop his NHL game comfortably when they played together. I expect to see this with Zboril as his pairing as well.

It was a good night for Fanboy Incorporated

Yeah - Zboril's got a HUGE crew of fanboys. You can tell because no one's posted in here in months.

We've gone underground

We've gone underground

All except The Don Godfather, though even he has been a bit quiet lately. JZ looked good, better than I expected and he resembled an NHL defenseman out there last night. I guess I don't want him to do TOO well, though, because that would damage the ever so fun 2015 draft narrative a little bit.

If Zboril developed into a Top 4 defenseman, it would end that narrative.

I don't think any knowledgable fans had a problem with them picking Zboril where they did.

To my eye, he got lost a number of times out there, but that is to be expected. I hope he gets at least 25 games or so minimum to really see if he has it.
