Love the kid.
Not putting up points but doing everything out there.
Looked a lot better with Looch & Lauko riding shotgun obviously.

Wow Beecher is looking better and better every game. More confident, reading the plays, making the right plays, winning face offs. He is also starting to impose himself more physically. What a fantastic part of the team!

He’s filled Nosek’s role about as well as you could have hoped for.

According to HockeyReference, he’s getting 91% Dzone starts. 
Yes, and Lauko drew a nice penalty last night by doing the simple thing of keeping his feet moving, the luxury of Beecher and Lauko they are doing their job and helping out the cap problem.

I can’t believe how good Beecher is. He really doesn’t create a lot of offence but he is one of the best defensive forwards I’ve seen in ages. An upgrade on nosek no doubt. His speed and ability to carry the puck up ice is very noticeable.

he has some kuraly tendencies. both good sized guys that can really fly. both not really offensive guys but can chip in some goals. kuraly made some terrible decisions at the offensive blue line, though. poitras is obviously the biggest surprise, but beecher isn't far behind. great start.

Pretty good comparison. I’m not sure how high Beechers ceiling is, but he definitely looks like an excellent role player at the very least. He’s the least of our worrie.

If only he threw big hits, boederline dirty ones, dropped the gloves often and intimidated opponents. That appears to be what this team needs the most.

Honestly, he's leading the race for the 7th Player Award in my book (Shattenkirk right behind as honorable mention). I know Poitras is probably going to get it, but he came in with hype from training camp and has had his ups and downs adjusting to the pro schedule. But Beecher was an afterthought and has been giving you some spectacular 4th line center work, defensive hockey, d zone faceoffs, PK time, and chipping in a few goals. Compared to all expectations on October 1st, Poitras is hitting them but Johnny B is blowing them out of the water.

That doesn’t seem to be his thing which is fine. Didn’t he have a fight early on opening night? I don’t see him intimidating much. I’m very happy with him. Better than expected.

They had him take the opening draw in OT. Says a lot about him and how they've been doing in OT
He's gotta stay.....faceoffs wins are critical in playoffs

Plus he has size and speed. Excellent for the 4th line.
Monty standing behind marchy coaching him prior to that draw was a great look. Beecher played well, loved the way he smoked Harris? in the 1st period. hard check.
