Bogie, enough with your campaign on the defense.  They won 4-1 last night.  I've defended you and ignored silly posts for years from you, but seriously, this is too much.  Every post from you these days seems to be about how bad the defense is.

Check the stats and take a breath.

What's even worse is it appears from no where out of the blue.........on a Camara signing thread.

Even when camara was on the "second line" he was still login minutes with scheifele. He was always a first liner but that is not the reason his fight totals dropped it was due to the new rule that started this season. And if I was on an island with you pal I would gladly swim into to shark infested waters or string you from a tree. 

Sure, Camara was so afraid of the 10 fight rule that he'll finish with only 2. Yeah, that's really sensible.

"He was always a first liner but that is not the reason his fight totals dropped it was due to the new rule that started this season." - heyoo

What does "always a first liner" mean here?  You mean when he had 12 points and 10 fights in his first year, when he had 17 points and 13 fights in his second year, 33 points and 13 fights in his third year?

He hasn't been a first liner on any kind of regular basis until this year.  He is fighting less in his first year as a first liner.  And as dez points out, you might have a case if he was on pace for 9 fights, but you don't go from and average of 13 to 3 just because of a rule that penalizes you when you get to 10.

If Camara were inserted on the 3rd line in Providence with Camper and Cunningham I think he would be used in a Lucic type roll, just forecheck with crushing body checks. As far as fights Cassidy can go n broswe the AHL for Robins type players, doesn't need Camara or eventually Payne to do this. the AHL is littered with 29-31 year old muckers for this purpose.

Chowdah and book - thanks tonnes. :)

Someone should let Camara know that 2 is not close to 10 then. 

 

Interesting to see Camara's future, does he have a shot like Luc of making the team next year, hope he gives it a hard go.

 

Also interested in seeing if Payne can be another diamond. He has put up better numbers than Camara last year. He should also assume a much bigger role with Rakell, Heard, Noesen and Trocheck all moving on next year.

Get Camara hooked up with Gary Roberts for a year and he will become a Bruin Beast!
