yeah the sens are dirtry .. maybe dont have a kid be your C
It's a bit of a shame that he could have never not been "The Guy". His Dad, his brother. Would a been better if he was setup to be mentored before being the loudest voice in the locker room.

Army deserves a huge amount of credit for keeping a strong leadership core. I still think the last couple years of Schenn's contract is going to hurt. But i think Army knew that was the cost of keeping his voice in the locker room. Giving Thomas and Neighbors time to grow and eventually take over those reigns.

Anyone else underwhelmed by Bolduc? If his game doesn't take a significant step forward a year from now, I wouldn't be surprised to see him traded while his value is still relatively high...

Not underwhelmed. But annoyed with how he's magnetized to the Penalty box.

I'm starting to feel things about this team. I didn't think I'd feel things this season.

He'll be 22 years old next month, and as a skilled forward, he's not generating much on a consistent basis, and I get that he doesn't have the best linemates, but still....

Are you talking about Brady? He's 25, he's going to have a long, productive career. You make it sound like his career is winding down or something lol.

I do wonder when he tries to get the hell out of Ottawa though

He's shown flashes but I've felt like he's headed more towards third line hustle guy who can chip in goals from time to time rather than a true top 6 guy.

I’d expect Bolduc to be better in the second half. A lot of young guys take 50-games or so to start to figure out the league. He may get the Sammy Blais treatment and buried on the fourth line if he can’t produce by this time next year.

Carlo is saying that NHL players can accept losing but not this Ottawa effort tonight which is no effort and losing. Going into how Brady called out his team as unacceptable after last night's 2 shot third period saying good thing they get to play tonight, coach called them out too, came out flat. How did they tune out Brady?

I wouldn't be happy with that given his draft pedigree. Bolduc's PPG is literally the same as it was last season (0.36). I feel like he should be trending up or at least making an impact despite not recording much on the scoresheet.

Oh yeah. He is good player. He will be playing for a long time. Im saying that he would have been better served coming into an established culture, vs having to be the one to build it.

Not really. His linemates haven't been the greatest. Now if he was doing this with Thomas & Buch or Thomas & whoever, then I would have more of an issue with it. Bolduc has actually kinda surprised me more this year with rounding his game more. Been physical.

I would really like to see him with better line mates before I make any judgment.

Not at all. Dude is 21. I think the talent and drive is there. He reminds me a lot of Perron. His game is primed to mature as he does as a person.
But Perron started producing at a higher PPG as a teenager fresh out of the draft than what Bolduc is producing now. During DP's second season, he produced 50 points and was a major reason the Blues were able to make that late season push to get that bottom playoff seed in 2009. I'm just not seeing much from Bolduc at all. His best asset is his shot, but he has scored in only 4 out of the prior 33 games leading into tonight's game.

Yeah, less a production comp and more a style/personality comp. I think the criticism is valid. I just think he needs more time in the oven. I dont have evidence, nor a pedigree to back up my feeling. But he feels like a player that will put it all together at some point and become a perennial middle 6 winger.
