Player Discussion Paul Carey

[rocketdan9]

Looked good. Those tap deflection passes were Cehlarikesque lol

Outside of one little mishap (leading to 4th goal) played a good game. Had a couple of opportunities close to net. Took the puck into the zone himself a few times.

Nice play that lead to McAvoy goal

To use a baseball term, he's a classic "4A" guy. Too good for AHL, not good enough for NHL.

He'll play a steady, boring game 90% of the time, but will never do anything to warrant sticking around for more than a few games.

We will have to see

could be at the front of the line for callups moving fwd

Carey is just another example of a player that makes signing someone like Nordstrom to a 2Y, 1M deal on the first day of FA pointless. They acquired Carey, who could give you no less than what Nordstrom does, for an AHL defenseman in Cory Goloubef.

 

[Gordoff]

He looked poised and not in over his head. A good trade, not going to set the world on fire or hurt the team on the ice. Rather see him than Nordstrom, Backes. Gives better all around play than a guy like Donato anyway. I'd like to see him get some games over Cehlarik.

 

[danpantz]

Was shocked to see a call up actually putting shots at the goalie and making them make saves. Usually it’s pass pass pass, shot at the glass.

Obviously shouldn’t be in the top 6, but he showed some chemistry with Coyle, wouldn’t hate seeing him as a winger for him on the 3rd line if we have a few forwards out of the lineup.

 

[BMC]

I thought he did just fine. I especially liked his willingness to shoot, normally the new guys pass the puck like it is a live grenade rather than take a shot when they have one. Didn't make any major mistakes either.

True. Except Donato shot everything in sight

But Cehlarik basically was like....no you take it. I have open ice but you take it and I will follow

 

[Tmac37]

Think he can be a bottom 6 option in the playoffs, would rather him over Nordstrom at the very least.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Nice first game but I think it's foolish to expect much of him in any real capacity.

This. He played well and looked poised, but he's an AHL guy.

Hope he gets in there again tonight to see him with a better lineup

He is playing. It looks like Frederic will be scratched if DeBrusk does play (which all indications point to him returning).

 

[Ratty]

Here’s hoping Carey can stabilize that third line.

Good on him.

He seems to have really made a difference on that P Bruins lineup.

And he has obviously helped fill in for the big club during this plague of injuries.

 

[Therick67]

He was the best player on the ice Saturday night..

He's usually the best player on the ice every night

I've only gotten to one Providence game this year, he really stood out to me.

JFK looked lazy and uninterested, was that just a bad night for him?

JFK has had a run of very good games but was better Friday than Saturday, didn't think he looked lazy though or maybe I'm used to seeing him play like that

The fact he hasn't been noticeable is a concern for me. For a forward it's bad as opposed to a defenseman.

 

[BruinsBtn]

How does he not get an assist on this play? It goes right off his stick/skate to Krejci:

Maybe it's just his style, plus you see more live as opposed to television. When he was playing the point on the PP he seemed to turn the puck over a bit and not kill himself to try and get it back.

JFK is pretty vanilla. i don't see a difference maker in that guy.

as for carey, heck of a player at the AHL level. he seems to just keep getting better.
providence is gonna make a run this spring. deep team.
