Did Tinordi get much ice time in today’s game vs New Jersey ? It didn’t seem like he did to me . It’s great he took on Wilson the other night but I don’t think Cassidy will play him much .

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 don't see how anyone can make that assumption, when the "best tough player they had", wasn't offered a position. I think it's an exaggeration to call Ritchie tough. Because he doesn't play tough. He can be tough, maybe he's a good scrapper, but he doesn't play tough, he isn't feared. Frederic sure is playing tough, and it's fun to watch. Not what I vision from a 1st rounder, but I think he's realized this is his only route at a sniff in the NHL. Miller's tough, tough. The opposite of Ritchie. You keep your head up, when he's out there. Unfortunately, whats going on with him, shouldn't be a shock. Assuming to get a year out of him should have been the hope...not the plan.

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." Nah. Jenny was wrong a lot for a lot of years and that never stopped him. And I agreed that I didn't like the idea of that line. Too many shoot-first players. Marchand was coming off his 37 goal season and had, what, 24 assists? I absolutely didn't see the evolution of Marchand as a playmaker - in many ways, the primary playmaker on that line now. Ah, chemstry. This is why I'm "Bookboy007" and not PeriodicTableBoy.

I'm still not convinced that I was/am wrong. Nah. You're wrong. Just like I was. I think the thing here is that it hasn't made them stronger overall to put Pastrnak on another line, and it seems borderline heretical to say they should split up Bergeron and Marchand. They've tried it but the BLiH comes back almost immediately. I also think you've have a very good point if this team was paying those three $27M instead of just $20M total. But there's plenty of Cap space for forwards right now to address the idea that this is a one line team. They've just swung and missed too often. I'm kind of hoping that Kase and Ritchie are going to turn into solid at bats where you go down 0-2 quickly on two nasty sliders tailing off the plate but then work the count to 3-2 over then next 7 pitches before ripping a double to the gap.

Valid points - and I didn't say I thought I was right, just not convinced I'm wrong. Yet. If they could give Krech-Pasta-Richie (or Debrusk) a 5-7 game stretch to gel, and it didn't work, I'd be convinced. But it seems that every time they've tried Pasta with Krech, someone gets hurt and it makes sense to put the BLiH back together after a game or two.

The problem with splitting up the Perfection Line, is in today's game success is heavily linked to exploiting PP's and icings. Other team ices it? You want the BLiH out there against a tired group for sure. Teams average around 5 or 6 icings per game. Check this out: morehockeystats.com/teams/icingsBasically, teams are "killing off" icings at around 75%. That means 1 in 4 times they either get scored on, or take a penalty. This is an extremely relevant part of the game now. With 5 or 6 opposing icings a game, it's almost as important as PP's. It's vital to send out the best line possible to exploit that. You also want the Perfection out on every PP together. So 5 or 6 icings and several PP's per game, it just makes a big headache to split them up for other shifts and have them together for these key ones. And that's without even talking about the natural positive of having the team's best shooter finishing passes from the team's best playmaker on every regular shift.

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 r eal 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. Attachments:

Two weeks of bruins banking pucks off his ass and into the net and a solid goal scoring month in arizona. his career was bad, and there's a reason he's playing on a team with victor berglund right now at the ripe old age of 28.

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? this is so fucking accurate.
