Player Discussion Torey Krug IV

[neelynugs]

that aerial pass to coyle on the 4th goal was f***ing ridiculous

 

[Jaguar God]

I really hope they keep Krug. He's a leader on the ice and has skills no one else does. A defense led by him, Carlo, and MvAvoy is a recipe for success in the post-Chara era.

I think he signs, and leaves some money on the table, similar to Bergie, March, and Pasta.

He needs to leave $ and term on the table....

I dunno. I still think they have to move him personally. We will see what happens. He's having a great playoffs.

 

[Trap Jesus]

He was a legitimate beast defensively tonight. Channeling his inner Chara

 

[13Hockey]

27 mins tonight +2 1A

Monster

4 more mins than Carlo who was 2nd in ice time

Dude has played the best defense of his career these playoffs. It's not even close. Holy shit has he ever elevated his game in his own zone. Tonight was yet another example. Torey is dialed in. He is not f***ing around. Love it!

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Best stretch of his pro career.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

He has been absolutely beast mode for most of the playoffs. Tonight was other level, but so were games 6&7 in Toronto, and game 6 in Columbus. He is a big time big game player

He is a core piece of this team, huge in the locker room.

 

[PB37]

He played like a number 1 dman tonight. Great playoff run by Krug, something several of us knew was coming before the playoffs started. The kid's heart and competitive spirit is off the charts.

 

[PB37]

Josh Anderson 4 points last week

two nights ago was scoreless.... no Krug to feast on

I have little confidence in Krug able to handle a big strong team like CBJ or Capitals come playoff time. Also little confidence able to retrieve the puck and make a sound play against fast skating teams like the Leafs and Tampa

Alot of his weaknesses this season has been masked by Brandon Carlo worldly defensive capabilities. No way he can bail him out consistently in a do or die type pressure of the playoffs

How's that crow taste?

 

[neelynugs]

beast mode. he's been a special player.

 

[BruinDust]

Elite offensively. Solid defensively. Plays with guts, heart and courage. Heck of a hockey player.

Not yet sir... after the finals will do

But Krug has looked much better with Carlo by his side

Night and day difference

Give credit to Krug for a good playoffs also

Vs Leafs and CBJ was a very good testing ground for Krug... he survived and then some

Also this means his price tag is rising per series

Not worried about his next contract at this stage.

He literally was at his best against two teams you claimed would run over him, lol.

Just admit, you were wrong.

27 minutes in Game 4. Guy's playing like a #1 defenceman. Arguably the best PP quarterback in hockey and a top notch character by all accounts. Would love to see him play his entire career in Boston.

Agreed! Krug seems to love it here and is a leader in the locker room. Definitely someone we should explore keeping, not trading.

 

[Mainehockey33]

Definitely the best stretch of his career. Maybe not offensively, but it’s his two way play that I love to see. I didn’t know if he could reach this level again but it’s awesome to see.

 

[Spooner st]

I think Krug took a few pages from the Marchand book.

 

[BNHL]

I'm so up and down on this guy, but if he's part of a group that wins a cup,I'll be more up than down.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Yeah he has added a bit of a rat element to his game this postseason. Driving some opponent insane and baiting them into mistakes

 

[BAD BOY]

Krug, has played great. He’s a very good QB for the power play. Has been good on D in the playoffs. He plays big for his size. He’s been good. A year from now do they pay him 7/8 million a year. I don’t think so. But I’m not trading him unless for a top 6 forward or a 3 rd or 4 th pairing D-Man. Jmo

Money aside. I know that’s a huge thing. But yeah I don’t like trading good players for the sake of signing other players unless you have no choice. They have ways of getting around it. Do we remember the Boychuk mess.
