Looked like it pinged off Carlo, then him. My bigger issue is he was doing absolutely nothing in front of the net as usual
Your analysis in the other thread convinced me that hes been better than it seems. But it just *seems* like he is often in the middle of bad things.
Both of Marchand's goals were with Lindholm and Pasta on his line. And Lindholm and Pasta had some nice passing on an odd-man rush. If LIndholm could get some mustard back into his shot then that line might really click. I was worried about Braz/Zacha/Geekie but they had some nice o-zone time too. I doubt that would be the Zacha line going forward, but nice to know it wasn't awful.
He is the only Bruin defenseman without a negative goal differential, it js 21-21 with him on the ice.
And honestly his contract isn’t that bad. You’re not getting top pair defensemen in UFA for a $5 million cap hit. Honestly if he’s a decent #4 D that’s good value.
I know you don't like Biz but they're developing a similar vibe to Inside the NBA, but on their own terms. They're comfortable with each other and have fun with it without being overly stupid or forced. It's the rare hockey intermission show that I enjoy watching because it's clear they love hanging out talking hockey. Simple, but not easy to create.
He's got a knack for doing good things. It's been consistent since he's played. Has some Brian Boyle vibes without the fighting.
I have a feeling he’s going to be a regular on Biz & Whitney’s podcast in a couple of years when he’s finally done playing.
