Someone named Cole Koepke has been one of the Bruins' best players this season. Hang on...
Welcome back to "Who Is That Player?"
Today we look at that famous Bruin,
Cole Koepke.
Hailing from that hockey hotbed of Two Harbors Minnesota along the shores of Lake Superior, Koepke is a 26 year old left winger who was originally selected in the 6th round of the 2018 draft by Tampa Bay.
After playing 3 years of college hockey down the road at nearby Minnesota-Duluth, Koepke spent portions of 3 seasons splitting time between Syracuse in the AHL and sporadic cups of coffee with the Lightning.
Getting a fresh start this year with Boston, Koepke made an impression in training camp with his grit, hustle, and all around lunchpailyness beating out such stiff competition as Riley Tufte.
Said Best Coach of All-Time Jim Montgomery:
I like the way he manages the puck. I like his speed, his tenacity. He’s causing a lot of turnovers, and turnovers lead to odd-man rushes. They lead to more O-zone time, no matter where you create them. He’s been creating them a lot. I like those aspects of his game.

Compiling a statline of 4-4-8 through 17 games Koepke has outproduced lazy idiots like Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston -- who I certainly hope you still don't have on your fantasy team. The time has come to grab Cole Koepke (if you haven't already)!
This has been, "Who Is That Player?"
