Former Bruins Jarred Tinordi

[4ORRBRUIN]

Also, Tinordi drove himself to Boston. Different protocols based on borders/type of transportation.

The fact he drove here has me rooting big time. As a fill in as needed guy he should do well.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Against tough teams, play Tinordi. Otherwise, we have other options.

That looks like a very respectable line up.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

I hope he is competent back there. If all he brings is size and nasty and can't handle the puck, clear the zone, or make a decent first pass out of it won't be much fun. I am hoping it won't be any worse than the options they currently have.

He can't handle the puck much worse than Carlo lately.!

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Curious to see how he does, size sure helps against the bigger teams. Nashville is hurting right now on dee, Ryan Ellis is out 4-6 weeks.

I wish all the best for Tinordi . Hoping he does well here

It's a great post to get us into the talking about the Bruins d-corps and what this signing says about how things currently stand. I said I wasn't too excited about it, and I'm not, but if we are in the position of having to play Kampfer as a regular (as much as I respect and like the guy), then why not see what Tinordi can do in the same role? It could be interesting.

Also, the guy is a former first round selection, he's twenty nine, and six six. Throw him out there and see what he can do. My sense is, unfortunately, not much.

But I like the size, and he has to know his time is short. So, perhaps he'll decide == like BR, who doesn't have a pulse == to use it. I wish him well, but if it's only a fill in before Lauzon's return, that's okay.

Wish people would stop with this.Z time has ended in Boston.

Z is gone.

Z is not forgotten.

That is a post I hoped I'd never see. Brandon is still Crandon in some ways- like he never came fully back from the bubble disaster that he was. I hope he gets it sorted out, as we know he is better than this.

Very good. Studnicka has done nothing to warrant taking him out of the lineup. He has been excellent. I’m waiting for his Seguin Game 2 ECF against Tampa “break out” game. It’s coming.

Bjork has looked better than Smith, IMO.

When he plays with snarl, he’s 10x more effective than when he doesn’t.

isn’t this, in part, a coaching issue?

Partly I suppose, but I also think it's a temperament thing with him. He is just not an aggressive hockey player and doesn't appear to be that as a person either. We were talking about his puck-handling, which last season prior to the bubble was looking pretty good, even when he was not playing aggressively. This year's it has been just short of atrocious. No idea what has gone wrong there. For what it's worth I agree, he is better when he is ramped up a bit and playing with an edge. I just don't think he has it in him very often.

Ya but smiths looked good and scores more. Bjork does look good tho. Not sure why everyone has turned on him. I guess bruins fans lean heavily on point production not so much all the other intangibles

tinordi is a first round bust. That is all that needs to be said about that. When first heard the news they claimed tinordi, first
thought was kevin miller injury is more serious then top brass is letting us to believe. could be out long term. Also , they
panicked because of lack of toughness on back end without lauzon, and miller so they grasped at straws and picked up
tinordi who is a bigger stiff then chara. Sweeney failed in the offseason by not re-signing chara, instead of engaging in playing
time talk, just re-sign chara to 750,000.00 and that was it. He would be playing top 4 now anyway with injuries and all that, so
a panick move by signing tinordi, when they could have just kept Chara.

Great post .... NOT

Tinordi Clifton will be an entertaining pair - one way or another, something will happen

Sweeney should have signed Chara’s contract for him, right? The amount of ignorance on the Chara situation from fans is high comedy.

If Boston isn’t dealing with injuries, we’re not claiming Tinordi. But that’s how hockey is. He’ll provide some depth while we get healthy. Maybe he does well. Maybe he doesn’t. He’ll be in Providence soon enough.

just stop trying to explain things by simplifying and making sense of it all, thank you

yup.
clifton needs a stay at home d partner. the bruins have to let him start sksting the puck up more.

I kind of look at how many shots a guy it getting on net when he's a marginal talent. I thought I seen a post that Bjork had like 2 shots in 6-7 games?

Not sure why he should be in the line up tonight or if ever.

Chara wouldn't take $750k, he's getting $1.3M from the Caps with another bonus on top if they win the Cup.

Yes, it would be nice to have him right now with the injuries. That's why they wanted him as a 7th D. But I supported the non-sign. I don't think he fits the system Bruce is going with. I'm very happy he is doing well in Washington, though.

I agree with all but the last bit. Nothing against Z but if he is doing well in Washington that means the Caps are doing well and f*** those guy every day and twice on Sunday. For that reason I hope Chara has a miserable season and plays terrible.

 

[Soundgarden]

Pred fan here, I hope Tinordi does well for you. He was a pleasant surprise last year but wasn't great this year, but to be fair nobody aside from Forsberg has.

By far the worst d on the ice tonight. Clifton looked bad too.

Oh stop.

First game with the team. He played a strong simple game.

Clifton was bad. I’ll give you that.

Vaakanainen would have been broken in 2 if he played in this game tonight,was worth a try
