Makes me really miss Kevan Miller. He hasn’t played in some time due to bad injury luck, but man did he play that role well.
He'd have at least been better than either Ritchie for that piece of it.

What’s the story with him - saw they kept him on the playoff roster, does that mean there’s some chance he’s game ready?Makes me really miss Kevan Miller. He hasn’t played in some time due to bad injury luck, but man did he play that role well.
I honesty don’t know for sure, but it seems like he keeps having set back after set back. I’m not sure if he will ever play in the NHL again never-mind for the BruinsWhat’s the story with him - saw they kept him on the playoff roster, does that mean there’s some chance he’s game ready?
Kuhlman is worse than Ritchie is.I still play him over Ritchie. He offers more to the team than does Ritchie. Neither are great but Kuhlman helps the team more.
The amount of shit this guy is getting after his first game back after a 4 month layoff is nauseating. Lets see this play out a bit. If it becomes a habit, sure, shit on him... but good lord.
It's all BS. He was one of the better Bruins. He's never going to skate fast... if you're waiting for him to skate like the wind etc you're setting yourself up to be disappointed... because he doesn't skate fast he's going to be called "fat and lazy" but he skates well enough, he's got very good hands, he plays calm, and he impacts the game with his size and physicality. He's not a HOF'er, but he can be a valuable piece of the puzzle.
Kuhlman is worse than Ritchie is.
No, he isn't. But my point to you is he's not as trash as you claim he is.Let's just cut to the chase. In your opinion is he a top 6 kind of player? Simple as that.
For his first game back I at least thought he was noticeable. Made a few good exits out of the D zone. Had a good chance in front of the net that of course everyone whiffed on lol.
He was also one of the few aside from the two dmen under 5-9 that showed some irritability. Even saw a couple of Tampa players go out of their way (and leave their positions) to take a swipe at him.
He’s never going to be a burner. But with half the speed and two thirds of the hands he was far more useful than Debrusk was out there.
He can be better for sure, so could a lot of guys. I’ll give him a playoff series before I pass judgement. Or at least a few practices!
No, he isn't. But my point to you is he's not as trash as you claim he is.
I just don't get why he's getting the shit he is. The team is 0-2, for the most part they've looked like ass with a few exceptions. But hey, NICK RITCHIE!

Alright man, again. I’m just trying to have a conversation with you, but you’re kind of just being condescending to me and the points I’m trying to make.I've already told you that I don't blame Ritchie, but rather I blame Cassidy and Sweeney. The criticism of Ritchie's play was in response to the folks that said he was great out there last game. I simply disagreed with that assesment and stated why. It's not my fault you can't separate the two because I've been clear that I blame the organization for misusing him. He's not a top 6 player. His two hits with no shots, no goals, and no assists in 17 minutes of TOI and 2 minutes of PP TOI was not acceptable, and even worse than that was his lack of response when two Bruins players got run. If he's really here to be a big physical presence, where was that presence when Gryz and Krug were stepping up to defend their teammates? It's like you absolve him of any wrong doing because you're so sadly desperate for anyone to be physical, yet you don't realize that when it was time, he did NOTHING.
But hey, A+ game out there, looked really sharp and played well...
Kuhlman has 5 goals in his 46game NHL career, one in his last 27.
