Nobody has done it consistently like Rick Middleton since he's been gone IMO.... Maybe Seguin and/or Kessel could've gotten there eventually but they didn't (as Bruins anyway).
Oh and BTW, I think the next sniper for the B's will be David Pastrnak.

Common thread here? Are snipers not welcome in this franchise?
Perhaps superstars are not favored here. Joe Thornton, not a sniper but a possible HOFer, was also run out of town. And the returns were far from favorable. Kessel's return brought in talent, but it was squandered.
I look forward to the likes of Senyshin and Bjork lighting up the red light frequently at Boston Garden and on the road. Agree that Pastrnak is our best comparable with Marchand right along side.
Vatrano has shown sniper qualities.

Yeah you're right 02 - 03, 44 goals. He came to my mind first, but when I did a search to doublecheck myself it kept coming up Neely. My apologies.

Murray's overall game was limited... but could snipe
Brandon bochinski had almost no success here... but could snipe
I'd say vatrano is the current b most likely to be known as a sniper
Historically no one compares to Neely outside of hull and bossy for guys I've seen
We were very spoiled... but then robbed by the injuries of something very special

The B's have had terrible luck with their A+ players.
Orr, Neely, Iafrate, Klusak, heck even Samsanov and his wrist.

See some names tossed out that I think are more than pure shooters. Marchand himself... isn't a sniper in my opinion. He has a he'll of a shot but he doesn't find the open space... setup the shot.... and snipe
A guy lafleur or a Bobby hull... could shoot.. could score... but you don't call them snipers. Sniper is a limiting term for some guys
Ray bourque might be the most accurate shooter I've seen... his performance in skill competition speaks for itself... but he wasn't a sniper...
I think to qualify as a sniper you need to have shoot first menality. You have to live in the shooting lane... you got to have quick onetimer release ability..
