I don't see how that's any different than what I said.



Because it's incredibly subjective. You're evaluating a player based on what you perceive to be going through another player's head.

Because I'm thinking what I'd think of Boyle if I was a player. Obviously Boyle could kick my ass. But if I was a professional NHL player, I don't think I'd have much of an issue going up against Brian Boyle.

 

[Maaxse]

Guessing not if it's on NBCSN.

oh no T^T

 

[Jim Morrison]

I don't know. I'm not his best friend. In my opinion, he's a tough hockey player. Disagree with it all you like.

Just like you hate Rick Nash. I'm not gonna change that. Quite frankly, he could play well and score goals, and he wouldn't change that.

Still not fair to call Boyle 'soft' when he obviously isn't.

Again, I don't consider putting yourself in an imaginary situation and evaluating your thoughts in it a good means of evaluating a player, either.

I never called him soft. The end.

 

[Tawnos]

oh no T^T

It annoys me that they do this with non-exclusive broadcasts like tonight. I mean, if I were in NY, I wouldn't be watching on NBCSN. Why make me do it when I've paid you money directly?

 

[Ail]

Oh God, we are going to have to hear about how Hamilton is Jesus again, ****ing hell!

 

[Jim Morrison]

I never called him soft. The end.

No, but that's how this argument started. Somebody called him soft, we tried to say he wasn't and brought his hitting-stats in to prove our point.

That's fair.

 

[Thirty One]

No, just far from tough.

 

[Zibanejbread]

LGR! Keep the streak going.

 

[HockeyStickHomicide]

Yeah, i got no beef with what was just said about our PP.

 

[Maaxse]

Hagelin to destroy Chara with a massive check.

 

[Clowes Line]

I don't think he's soft. And I understand that bringing stats into play is a way of arguing that point. I just don't agree that him being 14th in hits makes him so tough because I've watched Brian Boyle and he's not tough IMO. Tough to play against? Hell yes, blocks shots, always in good position, very good defensive player, good at face-offs. Tough? I don't think so.

Again, somebody called him soft and the argument started. Nobody said he was 'tough' which maybe he isn't in the traditional sense, but he certainly is not soft.

And that I agree with.

 

[gary laser eyes]

Game time! Let's do it boys!

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

It's dumb for them to show that 49'ers superbowl commercial now that its passed and they lost. "It's only weird if it doesn't work" - It didn't work

 

[Last Man Picked]

this game is gonna be a great game. i think whoever scores first takes it

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Oh God, we are going to have to hear about how Hamilton is Jesus again, ****ing hell!

lol forgot about that.

"Now this kid is a-he's a superstar already. I mean, he's just a star in this league. Look at the way he moves. Watch him move. Just watch him. Watch him. Watch him. Watch. Lookit, lookit, lookit, lookit how he stands there. So poised. He's a star."

 

[Clowes Line]

Wait what? The game is on MSG too? Since when isn't NBCSN exclusive?

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

If you want to watch the Bruin's home feed, watch NBCSN

 

[surf]

LOL...Love your vid nerd tag..First time i've seen it!

Won 2, so definitely a loss.

 

[Tawnos]

Wait what? The game is on MSG too? Since when isn't NBCSN exclusive?

They're only allowed to broadcast 7 games from each team as exclusives this year. I'm not sure if that's an overarching agreement with NBC that includes both NBC and NBCSN or it pertains to all teams on all national broadcasts.
