Player Discussion Ondrej Kase

[NDiesel]

Well, big pressure on the kid to fill our 2nd line RW slot. I have faith he can do it, but health will be his biggest obstacle.

 

[bracer028]

Highly skilled, but doesn't play.

[JCRO]

A lot of pressure on this kid to produce.

Rooting for him. Hope he stays healthy and continues to grow

[BB88]

If you take away Kase rookie year

years 2-4

he averages per 82 games
21 Goals
25 Assists
46 Points

that is top 6 production

You just need to get him even up to 70 games per year.

I hope these kids play tomorrow

Sounds unlikely but I hope he’s in tomorrow.

My first game this year! Really late for me. Usually at least make the home opener

Kase gearing up for his first practice with the Bruins.

Looks like a nut Kase

They said he was practicing normally with the team so would really like to see him in.

 

[BTO]

Hopefully some Pasta sauce rubs off on him!

 

[Oates2Neely]

Sounds like he has some Dunkin Donuts commercials in his future

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

hopefully with health and a consistent spot in the lineup he can settle into being a Patric Hornqvist-like contributer where he's a constant threat for 20-30 goals and 40-50 points. I think there are some similarities in their games.

I think he has the skill to do it for sure, it's all about health. If he's healthy and plays hard he'll have no shortage of strong centers to play with.

Anaheim ranked:
- 30th (DEAD LAST) in goals per game in 2018-2019
- 26th in goals per game in 2019-2020

Not exactly an offensive powerhouse... I don't watch many of their games. Now, there is definitely some "chicken vs. egg" going on here, because Kase was a top 6 player for them... however, they were a pretty lousy offensive team over that period where he should have "taken the next step". Granted, he was injured a lot.

Boston has ranked top 10 in scoring over the past 3 years... so he is definitely being plugged into a more productive lineup, at the very least.

"Score the goals"
Hahah love it!

 

[Bmessy]

This is the "flu" he contracted a couple weeks ago. nasty bugs going around this time of year. But in all seriousness I hope he can stay on the ice. Seems like Donny doesn't mind risking on concussions, seemed to work last year with MoJo.

 

[BostonBruins11]

Some players always seem to attract dirty hits, from what I've seen he seems to be on the receiving end of many :S

It's how heroes are made in this town. Hopefully he rises to this occasion, and everyone should be happy.

gotta find a way to get him, Pasta and DK into the same commercial

It wasn't shown, but you could hear the guys talking about how Ritchie immediately went after Muzzin afterwards.

Hopefully if Muzzin tries this shit again later on this season Ritchie, Lauzon, Charlie, Chara, and others catch up to him and make him shit his pants for fear of his life

As a Duck fan, I have mixed feelings on trading Kase. On one hand, he was hurt so much and has a very concerning concussion history. Some of us are still remembering the Simon Despres career end. On the other, Kase is so much fun to watch and an excellent hockey player. He is relentless on the forecheck, has the speed to get in early and stay on defensemen. Often causes turnovers or steals the puck. Good hands and skill, deadly on breakaways and in the shootout. Fearless and often gets caught with his head down, vulnerable to taking hits, especially head shots. Was one of the few Duck forwards that could drive play.

Bruins had a similar issue with Bjork for a few seasons and this season he hasn't been hurt or concussed (knock on wood).

The team probably has a game plan to help him prevent getting hurt further

I was just thinking about posting this same thing- great minds and all that The Bruins do seem to have some success with coaching some awareness into young players about getting trucked.
