Player Discussion Pat Maroon

[RI.B FAN]

Sweeney wastes another pick on a guy who doesn't want to be a Bruin, just like 3 guys, he traded for last season at the deadline. They were all in it for themselves and their next contract, which they all got this season.

That pick is well worth the possible reward.

 

[Bounces R Way]

At least he can bring a little comic relief

 

[JCRO]

I think it’s more than fair to take a wait and see approach. Believe me I have my reservations about who he is now as a player and what he’s able to bring at this stage.

My op was more of I hope people support the guy while he’s here. No need to breed negativity with it. Heck they don’t even lose the 6th round pick if he doesn’t play a game in the playoffs lol.

Give him a chance is all

 

[Patdud]

What did he do and why was he a toolbag?

he told the bench they were f***ed when they were in fact f***ed

 

[UncleRico]

Ya he didn’t injure anyone on the bruins right? Just chirped the bruins pregame and during the game a few times ?

 

[goldnblack]

I don't know how you watch that 5 min interview and not immediately like him. I'm stoked.

I'm having a way easier time accepting Maroon on the B's than I did Hathaway. Maroon may actually contribute.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

If he can replace what Lucic would have brought that’s all we can ask.

He certainly will not be close to Lucic but if he can skate enough to finish a few heavy hits and have his type of... fight... it is better than what half the roster provide.

Let us hope he is not playing in the playoffs against Toronto if that is the opponent.

Maybe he relishes the new role and actually enforces. I doubt it but time will tell. He is a far inferior player to what Hathaway was expected to be and we saw how that went.

you just know Pat Maroon’s Neanderthal skull hurts to punch

It’s prolly like punching a bowling ball that has a sirloin wrapped around it

 

[chizzler]

I for one am happy they aquired him. Maybe he can rub on some of these marshmallows. Everyone wants aggressive players, now you have one. Stop complaining. He’s our doosh now. Isn’t that what we say about Marchand?

 

[Hookslide]

He's so slow you'll have plenty of time to stare directly at his jersey.

Wasn't signed for his speed.........

 

[Hookslide]

I don't care that Maroon did that. He got on our heads and it f***ing worked. If he does that to another team and it helps us, why be mad?

He knows his role. And he does it well. I don't like him. But he's on our team to fill the Looch role.

We might not have liked it at the time, but he won a Cup, and we went home empty handed with broken hearts. Maroon and I don't even know if he will be able to play or not or how effective he will be, but he hopefully addresses a weakness on this team that Sweeney knew was there before the season started and was there all season long......

I actually think him being on the 4th line with allow lauko to run wild like he did early in the year. enables pests to pest harder when they have a big bro to protect them (aka lucic at the beginning of the year).

Big if true!

 

[GordonHowe]

What is his #?

 

[GordonHowe]

Really dumb thing to say. I get it, but you don't say it.

I feel like the sentiment from Bruins fans at this point should be, "Yes, Welcome to Boston Patrick Maroon...now earn it." Similar to how I felt about Hathaway, and Steve Begin

At least that's where I stand

If you understand his personality, entirely in character. He's a joker, and a confident fellow. He said it with a smile.

I thought it amusing. No issue for me.

There you go.

Said again: "Lighten up, Francis."

 

[Number8]

I'm a laundry guy.

Maroon has always been a nasty mean player -- nothing wrong with that.

Besides, if I can love Kenny Linesman in Black and Gold I can do just about anything. I just draw the line at the Matt Cooke's of the world. Outside of that? Be a good person off the ice and I'm good.

 

[Gee Wally]

What is his #?

61

 

[NeelyDan]

61

Eww

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Eww

I am confused why this is a bad thing.

 

[tnt410]

Anyone have more detail?

As long as we do not play him with JVR we should be fine.
I am glad we got him, he will be great in the room.

If you read the article they just decided to take it slower with his recovery. In other words the headline is click bait.
