Boyle Scores...

[Bogey Man]

I've been out all day . . . didn't know Boyle was called up, didn't know Boyle was playing.

I look at the box score.
Kings lose 6-3.
Nothing shocking there.

Scroll down a little . . .

2nd Period
New Jersey 2:30, Patrik Elias 15 (Brian Gionta, Johnny Oduya)
Los Angeles 8:38, Brian Boyle 1 (Jeff Giuliano, Brad Stuart)

HUH?
Boyle 1???

Scroll down a little more...

New Jersey 9:53, Karel Rachunek 2 (Jamie Langenbrunner, Travis Zajac)
Los Angeles 12:57, Jack Johnson 3 (Brian Boyle)

WTF?

THAT was shocking.

Go Boyle!

I do love it.

I would absolutely love to eat crow -

I would love nothing more than for Boyle to prove me wrong - it means we actually will have a player we drafted and developed that actually WORKED!

But lets not jump ahead of ourselves yet... Petr Kanko scored in his first game as well...


p.s. - this is a much nicer, classier thread

Be nice to see him use his size a bit more but he was actually noticeable out there and not just because of his height. He played a nice game. I would love nothing more than if he turned into what we thought we were getting with Zeus. Hope they keep him up awhile and see how he does.

I didn't get to read the other thead. It must have been bad.

In any event, you should be eating crow regardless even if Boyle becomes just a regular old everyday NHL player. You said he was too slow to make it in the NHL. This was never about whether he would be an all star.

As for getting ahead of ourselves, let's not forget the the legendary Pavel Rosa.

Congrats to Boyle!!

He played a good game!

The pass to JJ was nice, showed patience in his first game I like that.

He is huge, no body was looking to run him or even defend him all that well. In one instance he sort of did a Jason Allsion move and just turned his back to the defender while he decided what to do with it.

Looked a little lost defensively, like he was playing too much D, but I'd rather have that than not enough D.

Looked slow, but I don't think he was. It is kind of like watching a huge plane, it lokks slow but only because it is so big, in reality it goes about the same speed as every other plane.

I hope this is not the highlight of his career.

"It's pretty neat," Boyle said. "I'm still trying to take it in. It hasn't really hit me yet. It's nice to score, but you want to win, obviously."

Sooooooooo...Brown, Cammy, Kopitar, Blake, Vishnovski, Frolov amongst a plethora of others haven't worked?

Your barkin' up the wrong tree here Matt. Every team has bad picks, and every team has picks that have long, sustaining careers...get over it already.
