Patrice Bergeron 6'1
Chris Kelly 6'0
David Krecji 6'0

Cody Hodgson 6'0
Tyler Ennis 5'9
Grigorenko 6'3
Hecht 6'1

We have 1 small center. Do you think Boston is concerned with getting bigger up he middle?

- sbroads24

Difference is the Bruins centers bang the corners . Ennis is a 3rd center if that and Hecht will be gone and is worthless, Grigorenko is a ways away if you ask me. Hodgson is not a number 1 center.

No desperation on clearing play by Pominville a foot from blue line and then further weak back checking ...Epitome of no heart ...

Terrible play on the third goal not getting the puck out
Then makes NO effort to engage Letang as he feeds the puck across to Dupuis
Absolutely embarrassing

Truth is, the team doesn't have anyone worthy of wearing the "C" except miller, and that's not allowed

Listen to the difference in post game interviews today between Miller & Pominville
Pominville may be a good player,
But he seems to be FAR from a good "leader"

- jdfitz77

Not go get into a big argument but can I ask why you think we should be so concerned with changing the captain rather than the coach?

Ennis is great in the corners. So is Hodgson, Defensively they are flawed. But as far as needing to get bigger I think we are over rating that.

Hodgson nor Grig nor Hecht play big so IDC how tall they are.

Their centers are much better two way players than ours.

I agree, they focus should not be getting bigger, it should be playing better in their own end

You have a GM that has to much faith in players that have done nothing, also think that they have all this value and they don't. A coach that still can't see the problem and refuses to change. The owner who seems lost and is a fan first and a owner second.

Until someone see's the problems, nothing will change.

I'd be willing to find out though.

It likely won't happen till after this season is over
I think Riff will be asked to move onto a front office position
Which I'm def ok with

A lot of changes need to be made

If we made a trade for Dubinsky or a similar player before the season began, then we would closer to a playoff spot then a lottery pick right now IMO

im not mad with the loss. it was a great game. down 2 goals in the first 2 minutes to come out ahead for a spell. i am mad at our captain for a few poor plays. he had a chance to redeem himself and came up with a bif whiff on a wide open 1timer in the slot.

seeing as to how you cannot flat out rip the C off pommers jersey buffalo should have ott as a co-captain. i love his effort.

Since when does being objective mean that you're not a "true fan"?
- CaptainRivet

Nothing to do with being 'objective'.
Big difference between 'objective' and constant negativity from certain posters and they know who they are.
Like I said , I cant wait till this team goes on a run and see what these same posters say then.

I think they've put together a string of 3-4 respectable games but I don't see them making the playoffs.

Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto are all better this year and they'll need to beat all three to make it in to the top 8.

- Pairo11

I disagree.

Dubinsky is having a terrible year for 4.1 million, but I get your point. This team is no harder to play against than it was last year and the year before and the year before...

Pominville had a rough day. I'll give you that. But I wouldn't say he has no heart. That's just crazy talk.

ott!!!!
- joshs


Doesn't have the skill
I'll give him an "A"
But IMO opinion, your captain needs to have more than heart
He also has to be one of your best players
