Nothing new here. I've seen every single Owen Power NHL game and every single Mason Lohrei NHL game (except for one exhibition game). Have you? No need to answer. I know it doesn't matter to you either way. I have said repeatedly I think in time Owen Power could be very good and thus better than Lohrei. Right now though, he is not. I just don't believe one guys internet opinion when it's not backed by anything other than "because I said so" from your end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. I know you love your analytics and you should enjoy that. I also know you have no respect for the opinion of someone who played hockey and has watched the game for 50+ years. Okay, I'm just some internet guy to you and so be it. Don't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, you prefer the style of how Lohrei plays defense. Owen Power by any metric we want, has been better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's big, but he's not that different from Power in terms of physicality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And your justification is "trust me." At Even Strength Owen Power absolutely wrecks Lohrei while also playing tougher minutes being 2 years younger and being on what was a worse team defensively overall. I truly cannot believe in 2024 I have to defend that Owen freaking Power is better at hockey than Mason Lohrei.

I went over 15 years without using it much, but, of late, have used it more freely. It's made my experience on this board much more pleasant. Like Utah Phillips once said: "I went on a low social cholesterol diet ... no more fat heads." 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest irony is Connor Clifton had better metrics in his final two seasons playing in the Boston System, particularly 2022-23 under Montgomery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Lee Posted Thursday at 02:01 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 02:01 PM 6 minutes ago, LGR4GM said: I can't remember where I heard this (I think one of the Athletic's Hockey Podcasts), but the person speaking made the point that arbitration hearings had changed in recent years and that teams largely understood that it was not healthy for a long-term relationship with a player to tear them down in arbitration. Teams have apparently moved more towards being positive and presenting comparable contracts that supported their position, than to the former method of going on about how a player is not as good as he thinks he is and providing all the reasons and evidence for why. The Bruins are apparently more old school when it come to arbitration. Still, I fully anticipate that Korpisalo will have a career year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, that's "business". Bruins fans polled came out around 80-20 siding with management on this.

Flashsabre Posted Thursday at 10:24 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:24 PM I think the arbitration process is a joke. Face to face with the player arguing that he sucks and doesn’t deserve a good contract. They can say “it’s only business” but those meetings do nothing but destroy relationships. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Korpisalo and/or Bussi sucks. At the moment the fans are firmly anti Swayman though. I mean how would you feel if UPL was holding out for 8 million? His numbers weren't all that much worse than Swayman's and aside from the playoffs he played more games. Saros has earned his contract with more proven games. How is Swayman's realistic number not somewhere between UPL and Saros? His ask is ridiculous. So the Bruins might be screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
