Been awesome this season. As much crow as I’m eating Milbury is eating more!
PART 3 POSITIVE VIBES ONLY FOR THE GREAT WHITE SHARK ON SKATES
I would have liked to see him being a little more involved with some junk stuff in a game like last night

El Guapo to most...
Serve me a plate of that crow, I didn't think he had it in him...
Me too but if he’s putting the puck in the net I’m not too concerned about it.
He doesn’t seem to get involved in many scrums, not sure why.
Surprisingly great passer. Sweet hands for a big guy. IMHO, buying into the B's system, probably saved his career.

yeah I noticed that too, i honestly think people are mindful of him and try not to give him an excuse to do stuff like this. Better off just hoping he’s in cruise control that night and is fancying himself a sniper. I don’t really see anybody ever exchange with him or Krejci post-whistle
He can be kinda mean out there if he’s given a reason to be

New thread? I guess I need to post this again!
Seeing what happen to Carlo I would have been fine with him being mean with a few of the Caps Dmen
If Ritchie keeps this up and has a good end of the year, and the expansion draft shapes up in Boston’s favor one way or another, I’d be open to a two-year deal. Still, it’s a bit too early for that but he’s a really solid player when it boils down to it. Slick hands, size and really soft hands. Not very quick, but moves surprisingly well when he gets going.

Impressive game by the big fella
The screen on Blackwood for the game tying goal was clutch
You wish he could skate a little faster. But outside of this, is the type of big body the Bruins has lacked in recent years

Count down ...
Agree...
Ritchie take it to the net big guy! Go hard and D will cringe trying to defend you.
he can skate fast, but the question is he only skates fast when he wants too. He does have great hands around the
net for a big man, good hockey sense , reads plays well in the offensive zone, good on the power play as a net front
presence. the only knock is lazy when it comes to neutral zone and defensive zone play.

It was a nice pass.
On that play he used his size / strength to his advantage ... the issue with him is he doesn't do it nearly enough.
If you would’ve told me he’d have twice as many goals and twice as many assists as Coyle at this point in the season I would have called you insane

Right? Considering what a guy like Anderson cost and then cost to sign, just to see Ritchie doing the same for Heinen and 1.5/ year.
His next contract will be an interesting one though.

I didn`t like his game last year albeit a small sample size and was fairly loud about it but in all honesty, he really deserved the frustration, his play was average on the best day, this year, different player, clearly more comfortable with the system and his teammates. He can still look disinterested at times out there but show me a player who isn`t here and there
