As I mentioned in the game thread, I liked the fact that Tinordi seemed to be pretty good at getting the puck to the net - or at least past the first couple of defenders - from the point. But I held my breath when he was on the ice and the Caps had the puck in the B's end. Yeah, and that's not a good equation for a player who is decidedly NOT a scoring D. If that talent for getting the puck on net were something that were a regular part of his game, he'd have more than 1-10-11 in 89 career games, I think. That's the thing about this acquisition...this is a player who was drafted in 2010, but who has never played more than 28 games in any NHL season. Nashville is the third franchise to send him packing. The highlight of his career is that he was once traded for John Scott who went on to play 1 (one) game for the Canadiens after the trade. To be fair, Montreal ALSO got undrafted journeyman defenseman Victor Bartley (1 NHL goal in 121 games) traded their former 22 overall pick. Bartley played 9 games for them before he, too, was let go. This is a flat out hail mary. Tinordi isn't a fringe NHLer who might step in an play light but professional minutes and eat some shots. He's a career AHLer who had a good run with a bad Preds team last year. And he has managed to be a minus player every year of his career since his debut when he played 8 games and somehow managed to come out +5. When the team is healthy - and you have to wonder about KMiller at this point, don't you? - Tinordi will fall right in with Kampfer and Moore as day labourers for the Bruins and not much more.

Tinordi sure is, well, he's good at...being 6 feet 6 inches tall. I remember him getting a lot of hype in the Taylor/Tyler draft. I also remember the experts saying that was gonna be the best draft class since '03. Yeah, not so much. Kinda fun to look back at drafts like that. There was a ton of buzz about Taylor/Tyler plus Fowler as a high-octane D playing with Hall in Windsor. Neiderreiter had a run on everyone's what if list. Connolly was an enigma because of an injury. Skinner was just a sniff below Hall and Seguin in OHL scoring. And there was that run on D in the middle of the round with McIlrath, Fowler, Gormley, Forbort and then Tinordi and Pysyk at 22, 23. Doesn't look great right now with Hall and Skinner both struggling in Buffalo, Gudbranson basically booted to a terrible Ottawa team, Johansen struggling to live up to his rep in Nashville, Niederreiter and Connolly being underwhelming compared to what they seemed they could be, and Burmistrov, Campbell and Gormley all out of the league. Segzy > Hall. The Bruins didn't make the choice, but they got the better player. I didn't expect that. Mark Stone went in the 6th round and is the 6th highest scoring player from that year behind the top two guys, Skinner, Johansen and mid first rounder Tarasenko. Fifth-rounder Gallagher is in the top 10. Toffoli is 11. Those top end underwhelming choices get balanced by guys like Stone and the fact that from the middle of the first to the end of the second, there's a lot of quality. Tarasenko, Schwartz, Kevin Hayes, Kuznetzov, Coyle, Brock Nelson, Faulk, Toffoli, Jarnkrok, and Zucker. Not enough to defend that "best since 2003" stuff, but not a bad talent pool.

Stick taps to Tinordi. Now matter how big, tall or tough Wilson is a major pill to take on or handle.

To start the year, if I said we will have two guys who will take on and match and even land a few good pops on Wilson and neither would be big boy Ritchie, I'd be laughed out of town.... But here we are. Me like.

We've got some toughness even with the subtraction of Z. Freddy, Ritchie, Miller and now Tinordi... All tough dudes.

21,11,84,and 86 before him have changed the team's physicality and makeup. It's a tougher team and that was a goal for Sweeney and Cassidy. Get a few more tough players to play against.

I also think the emergence of 21 is another reason why bstn# has stayed away... He trashed Ritchie nonstop.. Fat, slow, useless, no idea why he's in the league, bla, bla, bla... Now that Ritchie is putting up numbers and really contributing, bstn# hasn't been more wrong then when he called me Stanley when I suggested putting pasta with Brad and bergy...according to him, that line would be a "fucking disaster."

But I'll defend numbers on this because Ritchie was 15 to 20 pounds overweight, he played like he was useless, and I probably was trashing 21 too in last year's bubble especially with Kase just being another waste of space at time. With that said, let sleeping dogs lie. He chose to stay away and I don't know if he will ever come back. He is knowledgeable about hockey, but lacked the ability to not be an elitist prick. People who are made of money and have little to worry about in life (and frankly if he did that on his own, good for him) can have an ability to be a jerk. He was an epitome of that in here and Globe room over the years. Believe me, he called me a lot of worse things over the years, Sizz. But then again, it's a chatroom. I would half expect people to behave certain ways in here, freedom of speech (or not on some subjects--which is another argument all in itself), but most of us are affable people in real life. Maybe he is too. Btw, what ever happened to BadHab??? He also seemed to have disappeared of late. Is he okay?

I liked bostonfan. He and i collided all the time. Ritchie is off to a decent start...when he does it consistantly i may buy in a bit more. His conditioning and give a fuck factor scare me. He reminds me of one of those kids who goes and stands by the net and scores the occasional goal, does very little besides and his dad thinks hes the best player on the team. He scored on a gift last night...i didnt notice him other then that. But for now, keep playing him there and hope for more of the same.

Bstn#s disapearance has nothing to do with Ritchie. It's because hes a pussy, who has a very narrow point of view and treats anyone who disagrees with him as absolute dog shit with the most tool bag condescending attitude. He truly showed his real colors this past year and we are all very much better off he is gone. I suspect he still checks in here and gets off when he is mentioned but its probably very lonely in his own head chilling in his downtown condo.

I argued with him so much i think we were married.

I don't think he gives 2 shits to the wind about anyone in this room, unless a member is in real life a friend of his. Like I said, I am okay with everyone, it's a fucking chatroom. Who cares.
