Brian Boyle

[Thirty One]

How about the 0-for-5 power play, today?

That made the win more difficult, just like the powerplay contributed to the loss in Game 5.

A whole game cannot be whittled down to one play.

 

[patnyrnyg]

You can win but it requires a shootout every game so you can not win consistently with just 1 goal.

read the last 2-3 pages.

Besides for that selfish penalty last game, he's played well. This coming from one of the biggest bashers of his game.

A lot of the 3/4 line players have played well, Asham, Pyatt included.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

What did you see?

You know how before they enter the tunnel, Boyle has like a handshake with some players? He had one with Prust, he has one with Del Zotto. Zuccarello tried to do it with him and Boyle just turned the other cheek. Zuccs just patted him on the butt.

I'll give Boyle the benefit of the doubt though. He probably didn't see him. Haha

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

While we're at it, lets put Asham's shot onto Hagelin and Kreider's skating on Stepan.

Sounds good to me!

Still annoyed with Boyle. Could have used the extra rest.

Huh? Am I missing something?

Boyle was great in the 1st round. His ability to play both wing and center is invaluable to this team. Why couldn't he play like this all year?

Played very well in the playoffs last year, something about the playoffs brings out the best in him

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Kudos to the entire bottom 6, who outplayed the top 6.

Boyle is a guy you want on your team come playoffs.

 

[zuckera1]

*Crickets* And I'm loving every second of it. The guy has elevated his game at the right time and has been playing with so much more heart than Cally, Nash, and Richards. He's a guy you want on your team come playoff time.

We'll need him to be on his game against Boston

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Boyle is a player who ramps it up in the playoffs. He doesn't get rattled easily out there when playing and can really benefit the team.

 

[Thirty One]

This thread is boring when Boyle is playing well.

 

[Vickers8]

My favorite Boyle moment of the season when crushed Frankenstein into the boards and knocked him ass over tea kettle

Boyle: "We lost a big game and that -----s...a lot of areas I could’ve contributed more, that’s infuriating. Couldn't win a friggin draw."

People can complain about the way he is used, but the guy plays with a lot of heart. Where's Richards? Nash?

 

[Vitto79]

if used properly Boyle is usefull. He can PK and play a good checking role. He cant score though, he stinks in that part of the game, it was a fluke a few yrs ago

he only has 1 yr left. I am fine with him as a winger actually. He should be 4th line though.

If they buyout Richards they keep Boyle to go with Stepan, Brassard and a UFA C like Weiss.

 

[Crease]

Boyle is a good guy to have around. Good PKer. Heart and soul guy. Steps up his game in the playoffs. For important draws, he's a good back-up in case the centermen gets jumped from the dot. If this team was properly constructed, he'd be a fourth line winger who can spell the occassional shift at center or on the 3rd line.

Give credit where credits due, put himself in great position to accept Steps pass, and was good on faceoffs

Boyle thread after Boyle scores a goal:

He should've had 2. Played a great game. i was also impressed by the emotion he showed after game 3 loss. that guy cares.

WHY IS BOYLE OUT ON THE PP?? WAAAHHHHHHH

Might have something to do with the fact he has 2 of the 3 PP goals the Rangers have scored, and has been one of the better contributors with the man advantage. He keeps the game simple.

I've heard this a couple times, but it's not true. He assisted on Brassard's PPG and has been on for all three PPGs, but has only scored one.

Ahh, thats right. He scored that goal against Washington like 2 seconds after the PP had ended.

Im just trying to stir up some trouble. Hope Big Game Boyle continues to play well.
