Boro is a third pair guy. no idea why we have him where he is.
So, I'm sure you've caught a lot of Boucher's pressers but one word that keeps coming up is "intangibles". It's literally said once every unit. Boro is the king of intangibles. He's good in the room, the press loves him, the coach loves him, a section of the fanbase loves him. That's why he plays a ton. And he could well be our next captain if Duchene and Stone leave.
The only way to stop this is to do what someone like Dubas in Toronto did with Matt Martin, simply trade him or waive him. Dorion won't do this though because our ticket base is so fragile that those twenty Boro Yobs cancelling actually hurts out bottom line. Ceci wasn't terrible, he's just a mediocre dude on D.
Lajoie was great to watch, Duchene is decently ok, Andy was mostly fine.
Next game is 40 shots a side and I think I prefer their Andy in that situation, sadly.
