NHL Out Of Town Thread: Eichel stripped of Captaincy

[Fenian24]

Some interesting "legends" in that game...

Phaneuf

Old friends Samsonov and Rolston playing. And Gagne.

Graeme Townshend "Legend" has some new meaning I am unaware of? I liked Graeme but Legend is pushing it.

As long people gobbles it, they say anything.

Chiarelli is going to talk the Blues into claiming him, watch

Still no deal. This is a power forward that you go break the bank for.

It's the millenials that run all the soc media accounts. Language is so extra nowadays. When is the last time you saw something that was actually "amazing"?

Nick Ritchie with his regular standing in front goal tonight.

LMFAO Ritchie with 2 goals....The 2nd goal was a nice snipe.

He should have a good year on that top line next to those two. Still don’t think it’s enough to put them over the top.

He’s always been able to get off to good starts. Not a bad player

he’s not the terrible player Bruins fans make him out to be believe it or not.

Nah....he was pretty bad in Boston.

But he could be good playing with Nylander and Matthews.

Anybody can look good playing with those two.

No wonder Ritchie scored two lol this goalie sucks.

 

[The Murph]

Ritchie is still young and can improve, but his problem has never been his skill. It's his ability to keep up with the game when the pace picks up where he becomes more of a liability than a positive.

With all the opportunity he receives in ice time and skill he will produce. But when the pace picks up and he can't keep up, he's hard to even use in a 4th line role if he doesn't improve.

How was he bad? He had bad moments but his time here was more good than bad imo.

He has trouble with playoff pace but I don’t think they’ll have to worry much about that.

Funny how this fan base works. When Ritchie was a Bruin everyone was going for his throat but now that he’s gone everyone thinks he’s great lol. He scored two goals in a preseason game against an AHL calibre goaltender… big deal… Let’s see what he does come playoff time. He won’t be able to keep up with the pace of the play. He hasn’t stood out to me at all this game.

Eichel....his body his choice..

If Foligno can match Ritchies stat line from last year people will be doing back flips. Guy finsihed 4th on the team in goals last year ffs...

What are you talking about? There were plenty of Bruins fans on here that supported Nick Ritchie last season. I was one of them.

I don’t expect 15 goals from Foligno. What I expect is a guy who’s going to give it his all every single shift and play like he gives a damn. Ritchie can score 30 goals for all I care I’m glad he’s no longer a Bruin because he was an anchor for any line he played on.

I hadn’t realized how deep the Leafs projected lineup actually is. They have 4 lines of scoring.

1st in hits among Bs forwards as well. People complain about secondary scoring and lack of hitting from the Bs, yet Nick was the Bs top secondary goal scorer and top forward in hits. I get why the Bs didn't bring him back and he's gone now so whatever, but he definitely brings some good things to the ice. He's worth the $2.5 mil cap hit for Toronto.

I supported Nick too until he had another abysmal playoffs. He’s only 25 who knows what can happen from here on out but it was a good decision to move on from him.
