he's a defensive defenceman who is a liability and sucks at defense. How does that make him an NHL regular?
What does he do better than Jaros, Harpur, Wolanin?
Objectively enlighten me.

He's a 6/7 guy who played 21:39 last night and was directly responsible for 2 goals against.
It’s not Boro’s fault that he’s getting lots of ice time. He is a 6/7 on pretty much any team in the league. I’m not even a pro-Boro guy. But I am objective and on that one play, I feel he made the right decision. You disagree. Fine.
But keep slinging insults if it makes you feel better.

LOL. Omg I didn't realize it was that bad. That is so horribly pathetic we have a guy like that playing over 20 a night for us.

Borowiecki is not NHL caliber. He played at an NHL level for probably ~20 games in his career and that was all last year.

I remember being told on here that Cory Conacher was better than Brendan Gallagher. List the top 13/top 7 NHL players on all 31 teams Boro is a better hockey player than

No no. Its all about quantity, not quality. Boro gonna pad his hit totals. This is known.

But gotta respect the glue guys right?

He def is not. He can hit guys but even the most rudimentary 6-7 can play responsibly and move the puck.

Agreed. Dude selfishly puts himself in spots to rack up hit totals and runs around like the greased up deaf guy. Then he spouts off gobbledegook about accountability and playing a team game. Absolute shameless company man. I've lost all respect for him and he's easily one of my least favourite players in Sens history. His stunt with Melnyk puts him on Heatley and Yashin's level.

Boro played 52 games last season. It's not like those 30 games he missed cost the Sens a chance at the playoffs.
The D was pretty good in the '17 playoffs without him.
I'd easily take Chabot, Lajoie, and Wolanin as LD over him and Ceci, Jaros, and Wideman as RD over him.

We don't have the luxary of picking anyone over him right now. Also throwing every teams best forward against chabot or Lajoie would be pretty harsh.Not a chance at the playoffs last year but their was a noticeable difference defensively when he returned. Who was/is going to hit anyone on the team last year or this year other than Boro? It's otherwise a defence full of poke checkers and not able to stand anyone up at the blueline. Easy access into our own end.

Players are too fast. Sure Boro might connect on 30% of hits and crush people but the other 70% he gets walked by anyone with their head up. Not a winning ratio.

May I present to you Erik Karlsson and Niklas Lidstrom who have 9 Norris trophies to their name. Jonathan Toews, Patrice Bergeron, Anze Kopitar and Pavel Datsyuk who have a combined 10 Selke trophies. These are all the cream of the crop defensively because they use their feet and stick to defend.

What does Jaros, Harpur or Wolanin do better than Mark Borowiecki ? All three of them failed to crack the opening day roster .......... so that's one thing they are not better at, than Mark Borowiecki
Mark Borowiecki, as pointed out earlier, in 270 career regular season games, is only a -2, and -1 in 8 playoff games.
