Doubt he makes it up in time for today's game, maybe deal in the works shipping out Caron (I can dream).

@NHLBruins: Jordan Caron (stiff back) not playing today, per Julien. Florek expected to make debut ^CS

He'll take Caron's spot in the lineup today.

Why would you say that? Providence is 45 minutes from Boston, tops.

Anyway Ehrdahl just tweeted he's in for Caron, who's out with a bad back.

 

[Dellstrom]

Dreams do come true!

I like how we're calling up lots of guys, to see what we have... Never know when someone special will pop up out of nowhere. I like Florek, big guy, had some real good college numbers. Looks like he'll fit in well here, have been wanting to see him for a while.

What would be the point of the call up if they know he wont be able to make it to the game?

Why am I getting Byron Bitz flashbacks all of a sudden?

Florek is one point behind Caron in the scoring race.

Let's go

Solid debut.

 

[Hali33]

He played well today.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Nice jump. The hockey gods gave him a few glorious opportunities for a goal.

 

[iiBruins17*]

Much better than Caron

or just a stiff, eh?

 

[mislysBB]

Kid had a solid debut. MUCH better than Caron would have been, IMO.

Boom!

Florek looked good. Good tools for a fourth liner. Fluffed a couple chances in tight, but I'll put that down to debut jitters. Excited for him, hopefully he gets to ride with the team out west.

pretty cool that chia gives all these young kids a shot at playing in the NHL. give an honest effort in providence and you may get your shot. that goes a long way with young players, could possibly give them a leg up on signing a college free agent.

Every recalled player this season has shown how useless Caron is.

To be fair, everyone he brought up except for Svedberg was a necessity because of player injury/suspensions

oh, i know - just saying that in the past, you'd see trent whitfield 900 times to cover for injuries. now they are rotating through a whole bunch of different guys. probably multiple reasons for that (waivers with miller, etc), but good to see them all get a shot. never know if you'll ever get one as a young guy.

This is a bit harsh, but I have to say, JC hasn't shown much of anything, and he's had plenty of opportunities. He hasn't been a glaring liability but no flashes either. Invisible. Time to cut bait.

Give Florek a look & package Caron & some bits for something else.

He looked good in his first game, I'm sure we'll see more of him in the future.

 

[Dellstrom]

Hopefully Caron is gone as soon as Loui and Kelly are back. For all that he sucks at, he's good on the PK.

Florek did everything except score. I was very impressed with his game, terrific 4th line guy. I would have liked to see him stay a while, but he was an emergency call up, so this was expected. Waivers or trade, just get the option out of there for Caron. He's a nothing player and it's time to move on. He's played more than 110 NHL games here, he's gotten more than enough chances.

It's a great bargaining point with a young free agent.

Also goes a long way to blasting apart the old discussion about how Claude won't play the young guys.

I was very impressed with Florek. Really wouldn't mind seeing him back up soon.

 

[TCL40]

Florek did things Caron never does-and I think he definitely has future bottom six potential.

His screen on Krug's goal is likely why that shot went in-he didn't get points but Julien did give him credit for the screen in post game comments.

He will probably get some other opportunities.
