This is why guys like he and Subban should never get a sniff of the Norris Trophy, which is meant for guys who can actually play D...

Amen.

The people who vote for the Norris need to watch the game.

 

[CheerstoBeers]

What's the deal with Krejci?

They said on HNIC his hip is still bothering him...Same injury that he missed games over already this season

 

[Neely08]

...

Missed the Fraser goals. Excited for them though. Were they nice?

2nd one was a gorgeous shot in close.

 

[smithformeragent]

I know right? I wonder what he'd be saying if he played for the Bs

To me, the PBP guy is supposed to be the straight man and the color guy can play the homer card etc. It's just extremely awkward when Jack goes overboard. I can appreciate the passion he has for the team, but enough is enough.


Oh good, another composite stick discussion.

 

[Goom 35]

Jack hating on Karlsson is absolutely annoying...

I like it.

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

old Rask is back!

 

[ElkabombKid9]

There is the little matter of 11 points in 22 games last year...

There's something to be said for putting players in a position to succeed (not sure this can be stressed enough). Clode had him on the shortest leash ever and he was playing with an enemic Looch and Fraser on his off wing this year. Not great.







Sorry, totally missed the sarcasm.

No problem, it's crazy how you get jumped on in here sometimes i agree with you. I don't think you can fully assess some of these younger players after seeing 3-4 games...

Subban and Karlsson are not the same. Karlsson is a liability defensively. Subban is just prone to mistakes once in a while. He's like Boychuk with tons of skill and better speed.

Meh not gonna cut it. If you're not going to kill penalties, be good in the dot, play the PK, or hit, you better be scoring some goals. 22 assists, a lot of them just a regular pass to another guy making the last pass, isn't going to get it done when you can't contribute in other ways. And I'm going to apply the same logic to Loui, he's gotta start putting some of those in the net too. He just also happens to do all that other stuff Spooner doesn't.

Whatever you say.

I mean there has never been an offensive player that has struggled to produce in his first go round with the B's...cough, Krejci, cough.

There are some guys he just has a hate-on for and can't objectively cover. Karlsson, Kessel, Steve Ott. He loves PK Subban though, which is weird.

Picked up a rebound by the dot and roofed it. Then screwed down the left wing and roofed another. Kid can shoot.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

That was a Timmy adventure.

 

[missingchicklet]

Tuukka getting bored and trying to challenge himself.

 

[Gee Wally]

Here we go keystone kops tiime.

 

[Alicat]

Lazar cheating big time at the dot.

 

[Braunbaer]

Is their a good stream you know of? I can't take listening to Jack anymore

No, sorry. I'm watching via GCL.

Krejci can win faceoffs, plays defensively sound, and can play the PK. Spooner cannot.

A purely offensive player, better be lights out on offence. Also Krejci as a rookie played on a shallow Bruins team compared to the cup winners/presidents cup winners. The Bruins teams of the last 5-7 years have been deep.

Spin it however you want, PK is great offensively, but is NOT a good d-man. He's an adventure in his own zone on a nightly basis.

Couldn't agree more. And i think a lot of times it either totally disgusts or makes it awkward for Brick. You can tell when there is a good 10 second pause after Jack says something.

Put in a rebound.

Me too. I LOVE it when my teams PBP rips on opposing players who suck or are clowns/A-holes.

Yes...that's exactly how Krejci appeared when he first came up to the B's, a finished product.

People have such short memories.

Dougie been quiet tonight

I think great and "an adventure" deserves Norris discussion. Great and a liability doesn't.

No spin though. Subban is a good defenseman in his own end.
