That empty netter for Coyle should help cover up another invisible game for him.

Hope Marchand is ok.

Yeah I hate to pick on just one player, but the sooner the Bruins trade Coyle (if he approves) the better off they'll be

..he does a lot of floating mixed with a whole lot of nothingness

 

[Olden McGroin]

 

[nORRis8]

We won.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Never watched him play one game where I thought he was actually giving more than a moderate level of effort.

Not once, in what 14 years now?

The guy could absolutely dominate every night if he wanted.

You may have missed a few games he played in those 14 years.

How can a guy with that size and talent go through any 4 game stretch with 0 points….especially in the playoffs.

Jesus, people here demonize guys like Coyle, who have 1/10th the talent of a Malkin for not producing in the playoffs.

Crosby, a top 10 ten player all-time, went through those same 4 games with zero points.

Agreed. I’d take Bergeron over him 7 days a week.

That would be a foolish move.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Oh shit. Didn’t realize it’s tomorrow, haha

Dipietro?

 

[Bruin4]

Joseph caught the Kastelic Flu and didn't return

 

[Ned Bouhalassa]

OMG! This is IT! 20-game win streak starts today!! It was rope-a-dope all along…

 

[Babajingo]

Bout time only took him 60 games

When they are out of the playoffs and against a team that's given up. Perfect timing.
He would look great in an Oilers uni. Make it happen Donnie.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

4 point swing essentially with this win and the Columbus/Detroit game guaranteeing somebody they need to lose loses.

They can pull even with the loser with a win against the Wild tomorrow.

Just hope it doesn’t go into overtime. Are the Bruins actually back in a playoff race ?

 

[cat400]

The Bruins put on a spirited effort today and were rewarded.
Over the last two decades, the Crosby-Penquins have moved into the Habs, Leafs dislike category.
No matter how the season is going, every victory over one of the them is a sweet delight.

That would be a foolish move.

Not once that I’ve seen. Obviously, we’re taking +/- 100 games or so.

But let’s put it this way.

Nobody gives an all out effort every game.

But, in every subset there is obviously a range.

Few are at the Terry O’Reilly level.

Most would likely fit into a huge middle range.

I am extremely confident in saying that if it were measurable, Malkin would fall comfortably in the bottom 15/20%.

Which is shame because if he were even middle of the pack, it could have been pretty amazing.

Instead, whether or not we’re a fan of his, we’re left wanting more.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Is this a joke?

Barely beating the Penguins is my Stanley Cup.

 

[The National]

Yes...I hope so too. He is such a leader on the ice, bench and in the room (been told this by folks who know).

Even if he was a bad leader still hope he’s ok!

Marchand is still Marchand.

 

[22Brad Park]

Sitting here thinking about Merk amd Lysell or whoever else they say needs more time or whatever.Beecher having 3 goals in 58 games cannot be considered better.

He is a good leader.

I think if you are considering all NHL players, sure. Because most guys have to play their asses off to stay in the league.

If we are talking about the most talented players in the game, then Malkin has probably been in the middle range. Right there with Pasta.

That's what I was thinking.
Trade deadline coming soon, upping his game to get noticed to abandon ship.

I’ve never once seen him play a game where I think he left everything on the ice.

I can’t say the same for Pasta.

Like I said before, you haven't seen all of Malkin's games.

 

[The don godfather]

I feel like jim Carey right now.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

f***ing dogshit take actually. Nearly 1200 games, 1400 points, Hart, Conn Smythe, big part of 3 cup winning teams. Still playing at a high level at age 38.

Is he really playing the "what could've been?" card for Evgeni f***ing Malkin of all people?

2 scoring titles, 510 goals and 2 runners-up for the Hart also.

[Mione134]

Yes his legs spread out because Joseph spread-ed them for him, Geez

This is why I wish our guys gave it to him more. You have to punish guys like this.
