Meh, he looked ok. But, the entire team except maybe Sturm and someone else was just doing the motions tonight.How did he look vs his old team?

Lots of secondary assistsSeems a bit surprising, but he only had 4 goals in his 22 games here.
That's not necessarily a bad thing though.Lots of secondary assists
41 games played during the season, or 1 game during the finals is the rule for your name to be put on the cup.I was wondering this and maybe someone here can answer for me. Does Donato get a Ring if Boston wins the Cup?
Isn't there a rule that you have to play x amount of games to get a Ring?
I would not be surprised to see him get a ring if Boston wins. Rings are very different than getting your name on the cup. The broadcasting team get usually get rings.So he didn't necesarilly need to play in the Finals to get a Ring?
I just checked and he played looks like 34 games for the Bruins this season.
Tough break..

Surely he played some role in getting them the Cup (again, IF they win it all). Weird position for him to be in since his name will not be engraved on Cup.
I can see him starting slow. I think he has enough skill to put up 50 points, but he also needs to play with the right guys and be on the PP.Does anyone worry he's going to regress like hell next year? He was pretty good, but that's what happens (see el Nino) when you get traded to a new team.
I don't think he'll sustain a 60 point pace over a full season, but around 50 seems reasonable depending on his usage. The frustrating thing with him is likely to be how he does when he inevitably goes cold, because his play away from the puck hasn't been a strong point.Does anyone worry he's going to regress like hell next year?

I mean, if he plays a full season and puts up 40-50 points, is that really a "regression" even though he paced 60 in his limited time here last year? I don't quite think so.
Am I worried about him dropping down to a 20 point player? No, not really.
Coyle's a very well rounded player that brings a hell of a lot even when he's not scoring. In the long run Donato needs to outscore him for that trade to pay off.If he puts up 15 goals it will be an improvement on what coyle was doing for us, not saying much but it's something.

Coyle's the same player in Boston that he was here, he's just slotted lower with a better supporting cast and it's paying off.If that's your opinion I respect it, its definitely not mine though. Dont let his play with Boston skew what he was here. He was largely an invisible player for us imo. A ghost on the ice with minnesota.
