Post-Game Talk: GAME #3 - BRUINS heading home with 4 out of 6 points with 4-1 win in Winnipeg

[HumBucker]

Krejci is playing horrible most likely due to surgery and not a full camp


But we really need to give him some line mates

Spooner and Heinen ain't cutting it

Hopefully Thursday we'll see

Marchand Bergeron Pastrnak
Beleskey Krejci Backes

As our top 6 Beleskey and Krejci always play well together and Backes will be a big boost Krejci needs rugged wingers

100%! I approve of this message.

 

[Absurdity]

People crapping on Heinen in his 3rd professional hockey game is ridiculous. But I guess we need to complain about something after a win.

 

[PB37]

In regards to Heinen - I can see the skill and smarts but he's very weak on the puck and is physically overmatched along the boards. He looks smaller than his 6'1, 185 that he's listed at.

I don't doubt he'll get it eventually... it just hasn't happened yet and may need some time in Providence once the team is healthy to work on his game.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

I think the third game of the season is a bit early in the season for that to have any measurable effect. Over the course of the whole season, sure, but not likely this early.

Good point.

Also, its been 3 games against 3 bad teams. Not a real test of anything yet.

But 2-1 much better than 0-3 of last season.

 

[BruinDust]

Looks like Heinen is getting the Loui treatment. Maybe if he went out and plastered someone into the board.

Pretty much.

The offense will come.

He's not hurting this team defensively. His positioning is solid.

Heinen = Caron minus the hot girlfriend

Yes, nailed this one three games into his career.

Having kids and posting on this board should be like driving...require a test and a license.

 

[Blowfish]

Heinen = Caron minus the hot girlfriend

Send him to Providence call up Debrusk or Cehlarik...

He was not noticeable.

I don't hate the guy or anything, but I really don't think people are being unreasonable by pointing out that his contribution so far is underwhelming...

He needs to go on the Pasta diet

 

[CDJ]

Good thing DS didn't extend kmiller for 4 more years at 4M/yr during the offseason (sarcasm)

Carlo is the real deal!

.....he didn't

 

[BruinDust]

He was not noticeable.

I don't hate the guy or anything, but I really don't think people are being unreasonable by pointing out that his contribution so far is underwhelming...

He's playing on the 2nd line, getting tougher match-ups, has played both wings, and the two veterans on his line aren't exactly carrying their weight offensively.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

As long as people are bringing up Loui Eriksson, I'll say that he was the most boring, under impacting 60 point forward I think I've ever seen on this team.

Extremely happy that we have a guy like Backes here over him, even if David won't touch those point totals.

 

[nfld77]

oops

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Send him to Providence call up Debrusk or Cehlarik...

The same Cehlarik that is injured and hasn't played a game in PRO? Yes, let's bring him up...sigh.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

He's playing on the 2nd line, getting tougher match-ups, has played both wings, and the two veterans on his line aren't exactly carrying their weight offensively.

True. But they're still more noticeable than Heinen.

I'm not saying trade him. I'm not saying send him down. I'm saying that I haven't seen much from the guy and I'm hoping to see more. I wouldn't call that "crapping" all over a guy. I'd call that having a measured opinion on what I see on the ice.

 

[DitClapper]

I don't know why in the **** it took CJ so long to finally come to grips with something the majority of the board has been saying for two years but yes...it is predictably working and letting Chara play at a higher level during 5v5 play and shorthanded situations.

I liked you better when you were Grumpy.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

I liked you better when you were Grumpy.

Somehow I don't think I've changed much...

 

[toasterjam]

I love Loui as a player and pretty happy with getting to watch a player like Backes every night.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

He's playing on the 2nd line, getting tougher match-ups, has played both wings, and the two veterans on his line aren't exactly carrying their weight offensively.

Exactly.

When Bergeron comes back, you try Backes on the 2nd line with Spooner and DK, and move Heinen down to the 3rd line, where Jimmy Hayes is currently doing nothing against weaker players.

 

[BadBruins]

Nice to see Carlo see big minutes and perform. Chara was exceptional as well. I'm sure that helped. That plus mobility and reach give him the ability to recover when he makes mistakes.

Rask was great.

Krejci is barely capable of playing at an NHL level right now. I honestly worry about his health playing a step behind both physically and mentally.

 

[Greek_physique]

I think we might have something special with Carlo.

Reminds me of Dougie but so much more calm with the puck. Can't believe the kid is only 19.

 

[catsmasher]

oops

Not what I said. If he's hurt now then go on IR like mcquaid until he's ready . Or retire if his hearts not in it and/or he can't stay healthy. 7 m per and zero points in 3 games.

 

[PlayMakers]

Heinen was even, and is a rookie.

Hayes was -1, and is in his 6th year as a pro.

One has a lot more upside than the other.

Hard to blame anyone on that Wheeler goal though. Maybe the D for not being more aware of the clock. Did Rask slam the stick to let them know it was ending? Don't remember, but that -1 was certainly not on Hayes.

Also, I thought Acciari's mini battle with Chabot was great. Acciari had a bad giveaway on the PK but he did more good than bad.

I really prefer Backes as the center on the third line once PB37 is healthy. However, Krejci needs a boost right now until he gets his game going.

 

[BruinDust]

Exactly.

Absolutely.

And if for some insane reason Hayes continues to get a free ride on the 3rd line, Heinen plays the type of defensively and positionaly sound game that could function on the 4th line if need be.
