Come on man. Who on earth would suggest that?

My point is that if someone wants to bitch about Pasta’s shortcomings then their expectations are silly.

If Pasta isn’t good enough for you as is, you ask too much.

Of course you can always you can just hold your breath for a decade or 5 for another Bobby Orr or Sidney Crosby type to walk through the door.


Thanks Dom. You read my post exactly how I intended.

Pasta us pasta but we can hope he keeps trying to improve his overall game

Sandwiches?!

No, no! It's all about the new sponsor, Grillo's Pickles!

The pickle de gallo is awesome.

Apologies if I misread your post.

But the shortcomings in Pasta's game are things that can be improved on. Many young, offensively gifted players (Crosby included) improved their defensive game. They also learned to cut down on risky offensive plays to enhance their game. Pasta is in his 11th season and has not seemed to even try rounding out his game.

That said, perhaps you are right. At this stage maybe we shouldn't expect any improvement. It's OK if he's only good for scoring game winning goals.

He probably is, and to call out posters to boot. lol

Can you imagine Pasta playing in the 70"s? That would be hilarious.

Not for the Bruins.

Wouldn't play for Don Cherry. Much like Rick Middleton didn't until he made the effort to change his game.

Actually, Frederic can play all three forward positions, but has been used primarily on the left. Heck, no one though DeBrusk could play right wing, but he did.

Debrusk did, but not nearly as well as he played the left wing. Bruins were short on the right side, loaded on the left. It was an unfortunate necessity at the time.

Frederic should be used strickly as a left wing, in my opinion. Playing the off wing is a European thing and needs a different skill set from Freddy's.

I don't think he is saying that at all.

Could be that I am reading it entirely wrong though.

That's why I asked.

True

And it was the song that Len sampled for the basis of their hit "Steal My Sunshine."

Interesting, I can hear it my head now though.

Poitras is the key to the season imo. We need a dose of high end skill and he can provide it. Doesn't matter what line he is on to me as long as the pieces click.

I thought he looked very good

No issues with that. None at all.

The team really needs Coyle to pull his head out of his own a**

I think we should be willing to give him more time to get going, he did score 20+ goals last year, but lesser skilled guys tend to fall off much quicker than superstars.

I think they need Frederic to take another step this season. Maybe with Poitras on 2nd line wing and Geekie with Freddie will help. But so far, the 4th line has definitely outplayed the 3rd

Agreed.
