^Highlight For Answer^

The winter before our cup run in 2011 I split a cab home with some random girl who was a sister in law with Andrew Alberts. We were both looking for a cab, I was a drunk college kid, she was older and it was ****ing frigid out and we lived near each other. I talked **** the whole way home about how terrible he is. Also let her know that if she got tickets to let me know, haha. As I left the cab I said to tell him we'll see him in the finals. We did. Your welcome everyone

This part is what threw me off...

 

[BoyntBergie]

Jason Allison was my favorite #41

Immediately who comes to mind when I think B's #41 too. Loved him during his time here.

 

[Uli Kunkel]

Mez used to wear #14 before the Flyers. Guess you have to personally know Ace Bailey (Corvo) to wear it.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Toronto Montreal Rangers Washington Pitt

would beat Boston

All others...not worried about

Bro you gotta share your crystal ball with me, we could make some serious paper. Think about it!

 

[patty59]

Potter is gonna wear 6, so you know he's gonna be good

 

[Shoebottom]

The Flyers are 22nd in the NHL with 184 goals allowed in 63 games. Their goal differential is -4. That's not all on the goalie.

For the sake of comparison, the Bruins are 2nd in the NHL with 138 goals allowed in 61 games. Their goal differential is +54.

Yup you are right, their D hasn't been playing up to its potential, especially to start the season. But they have been pretty good of late, especially since Giroux started to play again. If that team ever gets it together, they'll be a force.

Haha...that's awesome.

 

[EverettMike]

Their defense isn't exactly world class.

Yet we just traded for a guy that has been a healthy scratch for them a few times this year, and that a few days ago they felt the need to upgrade from.

I think it's because they have 5 Meszaros' and a Coburn.

Remember that squeaky voice of his?

 

[chippa13*]

Just like last year right

it is 2014

not 2013

 

[GordonHowe]

Haha...that's awesome.

I know EDM is terrible and that a terrible team placing a guy on waivers doesn't inspire confidence, but it's possible that in the right system, Potter might contribute.

Can anyone provide a brief take on his game, or direct me to one?

Thanks,

my guess is that his new home will be Prov. I would like to see either Trotman or Warsofsky up as back up. Both have looked good in their time here in Boston.

there's one in "his" thread: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showpost.php?p=81073321&postcount=3

 

[Nightslyr]

My biggest problem with this move is I don't see how it helps the PK much, which is the Bruins' glaring weakness right now. Having a PK in the ~75% range since Seidenberg got injured is just going to kill us in the playoffs if we face Pittsburgh, or Montreal, or Washington.

I just don't see the fit. I hope I'm wrong, but he just doesn't seem to be the D we need.

I'm an Al Pedersen guy.

I liked "Big Al", nice guy, met him at a charity event(at the old Palace in Saugus). I remember when then Herald sportswriter Jack O'Leary had to shave his substantial mustache when Al broke a three-year goal scoring drought.

Thank you.

After reading the Mike Loftus piece, I feel a bit better about Meszaros. Maybe he can fit into the zone system, and maybe playing with Z will help, too.

What I don't want is some guy with no heart who's always injured.

 

[Ladyfan]

I had no interest in him as he hasn't been a consistent D-man in years, but I prefer it over either Schenn or Ehrhoff solely because of the contract situation and the fact that we basically give up nothing.

Overall, we needed defensive depth going into the playoffs. While we may not have picked up grade A players, we filled the need of defensive depth.

Call me easy to satisfy, but I'm satisfied. This team didn't need huge upgrades as the superstar trade junkies imply.

Good Post.

I didn't think you could REALLY replace Seids. He will be missed in the playoffs.

The B's needed dmen and picked up a couple.

I don't like the thought of the Bruin's killer going to the Habs but whatever.

GO B's

 

[Ladyfan]

Not sure we improved all that much especially if this puts Miller on the 9th floor; Kevan has been extremely impressive to me and I don't believe Meszaros is better defensively than him. Inexperienced yes. Also Montreal on the face of it is much improved.

NYI screwed themselves. The Habs didn't give up enough for Vanek.

NHL channel picked the B's as one of the teams that did well yesterday...we will see.

I trust Peter C.

 

[Ace0813]

Well.. Mez is benched. Not sure I agree with keeping him out of the lineup tonight when Bart is in.

 

[KnightofBoston]

He has had very little time to learn the system and practice with the team

Are you thinking they should just toss him in immediately when we're still in contention for the first seed?

Considering Bartkowski is a turnover on skates, I would, yeah.

Nah I don't think so, he's been consistently improving ever since coming aboard.
