How did Hughes look?
I watched the game. He was exactly as advertised. Hard on pucks. He had two scoring chances, no real gaffes. I'm not pumping him up, I'm just pointing out that you were dead wrong on the callup.

Looked pretty good to me?
Not sure what your point is. Do you think he didn't play well?
Sweet. Another third liner. Can’t wait for another few years when Bergeron and Marchand are cooked. No first or second line Center and one top 6 wing in Pastrnak. Looking solid. Their pipeline is weak. Ya it’s deep but it’s deep in average Joes. No blue chip talent at all. Not even close.

Cheering the kid winning his fight. Tanev started it and was more than willing, and then lost.
I’m sure you’ll be in the corner crying if you ever see your kid try to defend himself.
Tanev was a willing combatant.

They're not soft millenials. Nice to see.
Anyone fighting in their first game gets my attention. Potential proper power forward in the making!
I would hope that the Bruins would hope for Frederic to be a middle six C with some skill and physicality. Sort of a new age Backes, although that's selling Backes short . He was a legit #1C for a while there in STL. Nasty to play against.

No they cheered for their son after he beat up a guy that wanted to fight him.
I know the league is turning soft and some fans dont like rough housing but fighting is still a part of the game and that fight alone has probably extended his stay in the NHL by alot.
Extended stay = a crap load of money

That's the kind of player I remember playing with a B on their chest when I was a growing up.
Maybe he would have had something to say about the Tuuka incident...

What is the consensus from Bruins fans on how the Frederic pick has turned out? I remember when he was drafted it was thought to be a big reach, but Frederic has developed well, even though he's not yet full time in the NHL. What role is he envisioned to play for the Bruins?

the consensus from bruins fans would be that it was a bad pick and they should've taken (insert
a number of guys who have had success offensively that were picked after him). personally i
didn't love the pick, but he looks like a surefire bottom 6 guy with size and grit. upside is
probably 3rd line center. they tried him at wing and center in providence, but think he'll end
up in the middle. realistically, if you can get a 3rd line guy at the end of the 1st round that can
score 15 goals and give you size and nasty, you did well.
Most likely bottom 6 LW/C. Kid is tough, he's got some skill and some leadership qualities but I don't see him cracking the top 6. Kind of like a Chris Kelly type with a little more size and ability to throw down with middle/light heavies.
