and also chara is washed and slow, carlsson and schultz are offensive orientated, jensen is irrelevant the only physical dmen on that team are dillion and orlov, st louis on the other hand had pietrangelo 6'3 two way physical dman, parayko 6'7 shut down physical dman, bouwmeester physical defensive dman, edmunson 6'4 physical defensive dman, robert bortuzzo 6'4 physical dman, gunnarsson 6'2 physical dman. washingtons defence is nothing like st louis defence, st louis benched vince dunn their second highest scoring dman just to have someone bigger and stronger and also boston didnt allow a single shot for about 12 minutes and outshot them dramatically bruins offence didnt mess up lol binnigton saved them

bouwmeester is 6'4 aswell

St. Louis beat Boston because the Boston's scoring disappeared lol. With Grz on the ice in R1 vs the Capitals the Bruins....

Outshot WSH: 54-45
Out-chanced WSH: 58-33
Out HD Chanced WSH: 24-11

BTW WSH defense...

Chara - 6'9
Dillon - 6'4
Carlson - 6'3
Schultz - 6'2
Jensen - 6'1
Orlov - 5'11

^That's a pretty big defense and they are (checks notes) eliminated from the playoffs. Not only that but anyone who watched the series would say Orlov was their best d-man all series long and yet he's the smallest of them all

Grz was taken off PP1 because they wanted to go with a different look. They also took Ritchie off the 1PP and put Krejci there because he's significantly better at zone entries.

It always amazes me how people around the team, former players and analyst talk about how good he is, but "Dekes" here knows better than they do. All of 9 post and already its easy to see you're going to add absolutely nothing of value to this place. I'll let others bang their head reading your **** takes, I don't have time for it.

Ya fair enough I just think we need atleast 1 more of rask so Swayman can transition easier and isn’t just thrown into the wolves

if you even watched the first round you would know grzz was out muscled many times, how about the 2018-19 finals st louis beat us because their defence was bigger and stronger and more physical, plus he is just taking away 1st pp minutes from mcavoy who is a much better powerplay quarterback. Grzz does not have good defensive awarness he has given up so many odd man rushes that mcavoy ends up stopping. Grzz isnt who you think he is. Reilly can do just as good of a job as grzzz plus he is about 4 inches taller. And as for saying grzz and krug are different ya they are krug actually hit people in playoffs

why is that Rask has already made it clear he wont play for another hockey team, I think he would much rather take a pay cut so the team can get stronger. He also no longer plays as much as games in a season as he usually does. If you think Boston will pay him more then that for someone who only plays 50% of the games not a chance, They will just find a cheaper 1a option and have swayman be the 1b

Not to mention bruins benched grzzz for John Moore most the finals because they needed a bigger more physical dman so that proves grzzz value right there

Reilly isn't who you think he is. He might be 4 inches taller and 25 pounds heavier but he has no physical presence, much like Grzelcyk, but he is nowhere near the skater Grzelcyk is and does not run a PP. Big overpayment and big mistake if you are going to pay him the same as Grzelcyk.

If Rask plays in Boston next year he will make more than 4M, GUARANTEED. He is still an elite goalie as the playoffs (5 consecutive starts) is showing once again.

you definitely over value grzz way too much lol he has only one specialty at thats pp, and yes i will choose reillys height and his defence, reilly has proven to be twice the defender grzzz is, matt makes such stupid mistakes that lead to so many odd man rushes i dont want that on my defence we cant count on mcavoy to save his ass every play because grzz has no awareness to whats going on outside the play. grzz is not an elite defenceman he is a walmart version of krug and look what happened to krug once he left boston he fell off. i would much rather give minutes to our younger dudes like lauzon and vaakaninen then play grzz he brings no defensive presence at all. The only reason grzzz has put up the stats he has and got the money he did is because boston gave him krug postion and hoped he would be krug but he is not he doesnt bring even close to the powerplay quarterback skill and ability that krug had

I said 3 things about Grezlyck.
1. Not physical
2. Good skater
3. Can run PP.
How is that overvaluing him? You are one doing all the valuating and you undervalued Grezlyck. You gave away a proven NHL 2nd pair defenseman on a reasonable contract for NOTHING.

What I said was paying Reilly 3.675 M was an overpayment and a mistake. Full stop. Would rather the Bruins pay one of Lauzon, Zboril or Vaak under 1M next year to fill Reilly's shoes as they continue to grow and save that 3.5 M as part of getting a real top 4 defenseman if one comes on the market. Full stop. Clear? Feel free to run on again about whatever you want.
