Player Discussion Charlie Coyle

[bob27]

Puck possession and eyeball tests are the new bar I guess.

You know how informed people knew Bergeron was a stud 1C when he was still putting 50-60 point seasons? Puck possession numbers and eyeball test. Surely you are not one of those Penguins fans who thinks that Kunitz is better than Bergeron because of points?

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Heinen - Coyle - Backes will be a very good playoff line.

 

[KrejciMVP]

What bar? Just stating what we see.

I know all this great play and winning is stifling your Sweeney criticism but maybe you could actually enjoy what is happening

Oh give me a break. This team has needed depth scoring all year.

Coyle is not Bergeron and his "puck possession" doesnt mean hes anything like Bergeron

These moves were for secondary scoring, its nice if he can possess the puck but the Bruins need a line that will pick up the scoring when the 1st line had an off night

Puck possession directly leads to goals. But do keep going off.

agree - will wear down the other team and heinen gives it a little more skill. we saw what heinen and backes
did with riley nash last year, and coyle is a major upgrade on nash. 4 pretty damn good lines.

Most goals in the NHL come from some sort of puck possession. They still need him to create chances and produce offense

Exactly. And that is what he is doing.

Heinen gives him only a "little more skill"? He gives him more than that, I actually have liked Backes game over the last 2-3 more, having Nordy on the wing was the problem, thought Cehlarik would help but he looked horrific out there, need Pasta back, move Danton down and I think he and Coyle can work some chemistry together

 

[Chief Nine]

Sure but they need production from Coyle.

Yes they do. So are your expectations that things will remain static with Coyle?

 

[remer]

Well 11 games without a point for Coyle is not a good sign. His longest pointless streak of the year. He went 7 games in January without a point as well. So this looks like more than just the players he is playing with. Have to wonder why Minnesota were shopping him with term on his contract. Hoping he gets on the scoresheet something soon.

Coyle's played what, 3 games? It is going to take some time to develop chemistry with his linemates and I think that will come, that line is already generating scoring chances they just haven't gone in

The chances are there.... the puck is not buried though

Backes alone has had 4 chances to score.... so you wonder if a different player was on the line at least a few of those would have gone in already

It’s kind of his MO. I’m not sure he’s going to be putting up many points for this team regularly.

 

[Dr Hook]

As long as the team is winning I don't care about "production." People make such a big deal of it. It is only a problem if the team is not winning. If they are, then they are getting enough production regardless of where it comes from.

 

[The don godfather]

Watch him get a goal and assist the next game and everyone will say he's the best thing since mozzarella cheese. It's early I'm on worried about him.

 

[Skelen]

How is he going to do that with Nord and Backes as his line mates?

I hope you are right

 

[BB88]

This is crazy talk.

The 3rd line was straight up killer for contending dreams, now especially with healthy Pasta it looks like a major upgrade.

Then the argument will switch to points and production matter again

 

[Tbaybruin]

The line will score soon. If not we won’t go far in the playoffs.

This is true
