Really liked Richard's game tonight

 

[GloveSave1]

Guys get challenged all the time to fights and don't drop the gloves. There was nothing for Greer to gain. It's a 3-0 game with a few minutes left and his hit was clean. The Bruins already know he's willing to drop the gloves so it's not like he has to prove it.

I disagree. Just like the Ranger guy…they both made points with the coach. They note that down.

For me

Stood out: Poitras, Bussi, Worthington, Beecher, Richard

Wished for more: Lysell, Harrison, Geekie

 

[missingchicklet]

Bussi and Poitras the standouts among the non-vets. Jake and Frederic good games as far as the vets go. I thought JVR did some good things and Zboril made some nice plays. Very enjoyable to see players we aren't used to watching. Bs have some good looking talent in the pipeline.

He was all over the place. Opportunistic. Even if he doesnt score...makes the Ds head spin

What point did Greer make? That he'll drop the gloves even those he's going to get his head caved in? He did it last year, so it not like Monty doesn't know he's willing to do it.

Harpur has been a career fringe NHLer whose not even expected to be on the roster unless the Rangers have massive injuries.

Saw highlights.

Quality goals against a superb goalie. I like that.

1-0 Bruins: Poitras from Walsh and DeBrusk



2-0 Bruins: DeBrusk from Poitras and JVR



3-0 Bruins: Beecher from Zboril and Frederic

That he is still there and please dont demote me to providence for anyone else. I can fight.......somewhat...if needed.

 

[Fenian24]

Couple observations on Poitras. Much smarter than former speed and skill favorites Koko and Spooner, also has a level of battle and grit neither of them ever showed.

Bruins prospect list should have both Poitras and Toporowski above Lohrei and Lysell.

That he continues to be willing. And will continue to step up at any time. If I know a goal scorer is gonna score, I still like to see him do it. That’s why they keep a notebook. Mark it down.

 

[PlayMakers]

I hope somebody pays up for Linus at the deadline…could really expedite the build for us. Would pay a lot of bills.

Maybe Bussi is the guy who gets traded. Young and cheap has value. Sometimes more value than older and proven.

Tell me more.

 

[PlayMakers]

Bussi, Beecher & Poitras impressed.

Beecher 2-way game and face-off prowess really stood out

DeBrusk and JVR had really good games too, as they should at this level.

 

[Alicat]

Greer made a solid check that led to the pointless fight. I want him hitting like that every game he suits up.

 

[GloveSave1]

Talking about Greer took me back to Jeff Odgers. That guy was bigger and tougher than Greer, but they were booth punch sponges. Much respect to Odgers. He took so much abuse on our tank for Joe Thornton season. Glad he wore an A. He earned it.

Greer can be effective this year, he is ok defensively, ok around the net with a good shot but otherwise a classic JAG, what can separate him is being a consistent heavy hitter and letting Lucic handle the real heavyweights. When he has dropped them with guys like Harpur and Matt Martin it has gone very badly for Greer.

Become a Brendan Lemieux or Marchand lite in his early years. Instigate, hit and only fight guys who won't ragdoll you

 

[ON3M4N]

I'd think he'd want his play to dictate that no? If he's hoping what keeps him up is that he's willing to eat punches then he doesn't have much faith in what else he brings.

Now of someone had hit a Bruins player and he wanted to drop the gloves, great that's the time to do it. Not when some fringe AHLer is looking to impress his coach after you laid a clean (and pretty average) hit.

 

[Alicat]

36-21 from the dot. Well done B's.

 

[PlayMakers]

Half a Jeff Odgers. Heh

He’s a lot better lookin than Jeff though!

 

[GordonHowe]

Greer made a solid check that led to the pointless fight. I want him hitting like that every game he suits up.

But, again what is his win-loss record relative to fights? I'm not looking for him to fight, but if he loses and loses like that, he is not an asset. No one's going to be afraid of AJ Greer.

If you have a counter argument, I would love to hear it.

 

[PlayMakers]

Harpur couldn't handle that Greer put him on his ass.

I wonder what he’s going to do when Lucic puts him on his ass.
