Player Discussion Anders Bjork

[Blowfish]

Besides calling back Bjork or Cehlarik, what something can they do “completely different”?

Experiment with breaking up the number one line and making a trade for a scoring winger with speed.

 

[chizzler]

Giving up on this kid would be foolish. Saying he’s on par with Paille is even more foolish. Kid got hurt and is working his way back. He’s got wheels and can score. He just needs a shot again. I wouldn’t even mind him spending most of the time in Providence.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

if they don't play this kid in the winter classic I might seriously consider how much time i spend following this team in the 2nd half.

i know that sounds extreme but they are already a boring, mediocre team with too many 4th liners. This kid has gone down to providence and put up a point per game and the team is desperate for offense.

sit one of the grinders and let this kid play at ND stadium. not only does it make sense from a hockey standpoint, but it would be a token of good will towards one of their top prospects who they supposedly believe in.

I've been checking Bjorks stat line multiple times a week for this very reason. I'd love for them to do the gesture of bringing him up for the game. Nobody can tell me he would be worse than Acciari out there.

 

[EON]

I'm with you there Russellmania. I will be furious if they don't play Bjork in the Winter Classic, for both of the reasons you stated. It's asinine he's in Providence while this team rolls out 2 4th lines on a nightly basis.

 

[Tbrady12]

I know it's a big sentimental thing to have him play. But there are no favors in this business everything is earned. He had an opportunity early and didn't take advantage, Cave for example has. If he's the best Providence player right now, bring him up. If not, bring up the kid who DESERVES it.

 

[Ratty]

With Marchy out for the Buffalo game, this would be a good time to call Andy back up.

there are at least a quarter dozen guys in the lineup right now who arguably deserve it no more than Bjork.

Or Danato

 

[Silva]

count me in for someone else who will be pissed if he doesn't play in the winter classic

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Time for a call up.

Cave has ? I hardly think so. This guy should not be playing in the NHL.

I couldn't agree more.

 

[Ratty]

Now, with Backes suspended for three games, coupled with Marchy's boo boo, we need Bjork and Cehlarik in Buffalo tout de suite.

 

[Saxon Eric]

 

[Saxon Eric]

I thought he was ok tonight,certainly not recall worthy though

 

[compan]

He will probably get a call now regardless with Backes out.

 

[JRull86]

He's been Prov's best F in probably 75% of the games he's played since being down there. He had a stretch of a few poor games, but overall, he's put up some points, but done a lot of other things away from the puck too.

I think he deserves a recall at this point given the injuries & Backes suspension. They can't continue to roll out lineups with players like Acciari and Nordstrom playing above the 4th line.

 

[Saxon Eric]

You're probably right and he'll play the Notre Dame game like he's been shot out of a cannon

Sentimentality will have zero to do with it. If Cassidy thinks he will help the team win, he will be in the lineup.

One would think that he would be super pumped for the WC if he did get the call. If Marchand is out, I would go:

74-37-43
10-46-88
17-23-14
20-26-52

I’m good with either. I would like to see how DeBrusk looks with Bergeron instead of Krejci.

I would love to see: DeBrusk, Bergeron and Bjork. Just think this could be a real good second line .When all are healthy we know 63,46,88 works

This. And it seems so frickin easy. They’ve tried so many shitty combinations, why not give this one a try?

 

[Bruinfanatic]

It’s definitely worth a try
