The only thing missing from this thread is Bardof.
Really solid analysis here. OP has a future in hockey.
I did too. Personally, I think Dorsett is an idiot on skates. In addition to being not much of a hockey player, hes not much of an agitator either -- unless you consider handing out powerplays to the opposition a positive thing
Dorsett and Moore, two players with "much better skills" than Boyle, combine for less points than him. But isn't that our debates in a nutshell? I'm concerned about what the players do, you're concerned about what your mind's eye can see them doing based on their skillz.Dorsett has much better skills than Boyle. It's actual comedy to even debate it. Keep the Boyle love fest going; you are both getting closer to eating alot of crow. btw, at this point he's barely a 4th liner at ES.
guy gets in on the forecheck, works his butt off, and keeps the puck in the zone, a pretty good board player too.
people wanna hate him for his stupid penalties, thats fine, but the guy has some really good shifts out there, particularly being the first man in, and causing a turnover by forcing a bad pass with a big hit.

I actually like moore... I just feel like he's stuck playing with garbage players

Boyle and Moore, basically, almost always start in the defensive zone. Competition is avg. If these guys produce any offense at all, it's a miracle. Constantly starting in your own zone and of course they're going to be on for more goals against.
Not sure what people are expecting from bottom 6 forwards who only see their own zone. Really IMO, the ownness is on the forwards getting the offensive zone starts. If they get scored on 5 on 5 its because they basically messed up and turned the puck over in the oppositions' zone.
Looks like Dorsett has been getting some bad puck luck for a while.Moore and Dorse are both more skilled than Brian Boyle, and have been getting some bad puck luck.
But, Johnny Malkin is more skilled than Ryan Callahan. Doesn't mean ****.

Since 2010-11, Dorsett has a lower points per game than Boyle, even if you exclude Boyle's 2010-11 season, which as we all know was one big fluke and can be ignored at will.

I don't think it is actual comedy, actually.
When are they going to eat crow? When Boyle gets traded? Only bad players get traded!
No he hasn't. I think he started off well, but his play has declined. I wrote a piece last week about how he's not producing enough shots.Look me in the eye...or at least, in the screen, and tell me you think this years brian boyle is even remotely as productive as he was in previous years.
he barely touches the puck anymore, and when he does, its just a dump in and a quick out heading back his way.
Eating crow?
Theres much much bigger fish to fry when it comes to why this team struggles. Your obsession with Boyle is a nice comedic distraction for me.
Not obsessed. I was asked to join this silly discussion. When i read misguided defenses of this cow
On ice i am obligated to object so that group think doesn't

Believe that he's a good NHL player. He's not; that's all. I've never started a thread to bash this guy. I'm a Ranger fan and don't even boo at games. But he's gobbling up valuable ice time that
Could be given to another player who in my estimation will likely do more to help us win.

The Rangers dressed 11 forwards last night because their forward depth sucks.
Let me know when this fictional player comes along, or when you blindly endorse someone else over Boyle, like the Jeff Halpern incident.
They dressed 11 forwards to protect McI's minutes; you know better than that. Any combination of Cally, Miiler and Asham would do more to help us win than BB especially if Moore is taking the lion's share of the defensive duty when we are tied or ahead late in games which
Appears to be the trend. Do you still really think brian boyle is a better hockey player than jeff halpern? Yikes.
