It was great seeing Boyle on the PP. A big 6'6" horse in front of the net creating screens and ready to tap-em-in. Absolutely fantastic. Plenty

Default Boyle on the PP & other deliberations

It was great seeing Boyle on the PP. A big 6'6" horse in front of the net creating screens and ready to tap-em-in. Absolutely fantastic.

Plenty of us around here have been wanting to see him on the PP for a long time and hopefully he is that extra dominant presence we needed down the middle and in front of the net.

He has done well with his line pairings so far, but I must ask what players would be the perfect compliment to a player like Boyle?

Hopefully these last two games are not a fluke. I really want to see this guy become a consistent NHL force and prove the nay-sayers false.

GO B M F B!!!

Hes shown thus far that hes got a real quick and accurate shot. Perhaps he could pot in a ton of goals skating with some solid playmaking wingers?

I've been having day dreams of him playing with our more skilled guys since he not only scored the exact same f****** goal as last night, I notice him be more assertive in his overall and defensive game this afternoon that against the Devs. I'm lovin the kid! I hope he continues to force-earn a spot on the team, forcing a Nagy trade, or make opportunity for the perfect Cammy trade...

*NOTE* I understand this is hasty expectations after 2 games, but I think it only fits our plans of what we're trying to do naturally. Use Blake and Cammy to get either great defense longterm, and have our own fill Cammys spot.

I don't want to get TOO excited about this kid yet (too late!), but I'm loving the way he is willing to shoot the puck & not pass it a million times! Also, he was awesome in the face-off tonight.

So Boyle was cut before he scored, I saw them repairing someone’s arm at a break but couldn't figure out who it was. Then when he scored you could see the blood on the cuff of his jersey and then the trainer redressing it. Does anyone know what happened?

He cut it on the Jumbo Tron when he was lifting his hands up after he scored.

Boyle might be that 2nd line center the team has been craving.
But 2gs/1 assist in 2 games?

Obviously, that is not reality.
Wonder how he'll look after say, 8-10 games.

Every game he plays, other teams have more video of him,
more info/analysis of how to play him, etc etc

It was nice to see him take to NHL play so readily,
scoring at even strength and all.
And we've yet to see him much on the PP, or with
top-line guys like Kopi/Sully/Cammy.

His hands, previously advertised as "good" or "very good",
may end up being significantly better
than even that.
And his skating and positioning seem more than OK.

But he's surely on other teams' radar already
(how can they miss him!).

The Going will get tougher, and smarter, fast.

It will be interesting to see if he can stick this year.
What's coming in the next few games
will test his hockey sense more than
any other skill he has.
Should be fascinating to watch, as
other teams try to trap him deep,
or decoy him out of position.

Still, he sure looked natural in that middle lane, IMO.


But seriously, whether he makes it this year or next,
The Kid is legitimate.

He will be an important player for us.

Possibilities:

(scoring in the 35-60 point range, being Joel Otto-type
who adds strong PP dimension.

or
possibly, just possibly,
a 1st/2nd-line Dominator,
scoring in
the 70-90 point-a-game range.................?

One thing I liked about him in front of the net on the PP; when he got the puck in front of the net, but wasn't in a position to shoot, in a split second he made a pass to an open teammate. He is not tentative with the puck and makes quick decisions. He will never be that fast, but his skill level and hands will more than make up for it. Hell, he seems faster than Handzus.
