He let in one bad/backhand goal from Montour.
I doubt Coyle is going anywhere. His point stats could be better. But he is versatile, is a strong PK and has good leadership skills. Bruins also are hurting at C depth.
Frederic, Merkulov, UFA. I’ve seen enough of Coyle to know he’s not going to suddenly get better in a bigger role. Chances of winning the cup next year with Coyle, Zacha and a 38 year old Bergeron are pretty small so I don’t see a point in keeping him. Time to move on from some of these vets that don’t show up in April and May.
This. I think Grzelcyk is a solid D-Man, but for a puck mover who's supposed to have a bit of offense to his game, it's simply not there. Especially come April.
If Coyle is traded(plus no Bergeron/Krejci). Might as well start tanking for Macklin Celebrini.
I don’t know about tanking but I think we need to start getting younger at center and get a new look on the bottom D pair. I just don’t see the Bruins winning the cup next year by running it back with the same group minus Ullmark, Bertuzzi and Orlov.
His game 7 performance was far better then Ullmark's game 2, 5 and 6. He did everything possible in OT including stopping Tkachuk on a breakaway to give the B's a chance to win.
Too early to say. But I project...as a starter or co starter
Rebounds and high glove have been questionable. Hoping he improves.
Looked very good tonight 2 goals on over 30 shots against a Caps pro lineup and Providence line up in his corner. Harrison, Merculov, and Lysel give me hope for the future! Geekie has ZERO hockey sense and should never see top 6 play and only center in a complete emergency! He is dumber than a rock and forces his D men into terrible positions with his brutal decisions. The coaches should tell him to always do the opposite of what he's thinking.
