I'm excited to see Senyshyn make his debut. I know many are down on him because of things that are out of his control, but I still like the skills he has. The question is just if he'll put it together for a solid NHL career or not.
There's probably 3 groups of fans that will be watching Senyshyn debut, with two being the major groups and those are:
Group A - Wants to see him light it up to quiet the naysayers
Group B - Wants him to be invisible and useless so they can say I told you so.
Then there is Group C. This group is a very small sliver of the Bruins fan base. This group...
Group C - Wants to see how Senyshyn looks against NHL level talent.
Senyshyn was always a project. In today's fast food mentality, everyone wants everything right this second. Doesn't work that way most of the time.
Bruins don't care about his offense. They knew where it was and they knew the skill set was there.
It was the defensive side of the puck that they wanted him to work on and why he wasn't placed in a predominantly offensive role.
People who just look at
TheAHL.com don't get it/don't want to get it and have never done simple research on what the player was all about.
He may pan out, he may not. Obviously the majority here (and other places) don't have the patience to wait and find out.
I remember all the regular posters that called Jake DeBrusk Jake DeBust. (I saved all their names and learned not to take anything they say and put any value on it when it comes to player evaluations)
Have a beer, sit back and relax FCOL. And don't judge things on just one game.
