Who is that ASSHOLE who hates hockey cause it up & down??? What the fuck is basketball? All you need to do in that game is watch last 0.45 seconds to see who scores last!! As soon as a team scores they retreat to their end & WAIT for the opponent to come down & SCORE!! I fucking HATE basketball completely!!!! No creativity they hold up 1-4 finger on O so they KNOW exactly what play to do!!!

This is a big finn, gotta fill out some but seems to be quite an offensive player. And he had a +28 in 38 games..Interesting to see if he makes team next season out of camp..
BOSTON - Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced today, April 13, that the team has signed forward Joona Koppanen to a three-year entry-level contract, beginning with the 2017-18 season.
Koppanen completed his second season with the Ilves Under-20 Team of the Junior A SM-liiga (top Finnish junior league) in 2016-17, posting 23 goals and 31 assists for 54 points with 18 penalty minutes and a plus-28 rating in 38 games. The 6-foot-5, 194-pound forward also skated in six playoff games, tallying two goals and four assists for six points with a plus-three rating. Koppanen appeared in 40 games in his first season with the Ilves Under-20 Team in 2015-16, compiling nine goals and 17 assists for 26 points with 14 penalty minutes and a plus-12 rating.
Koppanen has represented Finland in international play on several occasions, most recently skating in 10 games with the Finnish Under-20 Team in 2016-17, notching three goals and three assists for six points with a plus-three rating. The 19-year-old forward also won gold with Finland at the 2016 World Junior Championships. In 40 career games of international play, Koppanen has recorded five goals and six assists for 11 points with 12 penalty minutes and a plus-four rating.
The Tampere, Finland native was selected by the Bruins in the fifth round (135th overall) of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.

What really got under my skin reading this was the latter part when they said,"Bruins may have to dust off Morrow since he never played since Jan 22".. Maybe I'm the only one but I thought he was playing great the while he was playing. Last game he played, Bruins lost 5-1 in Pittsburgh BUT Morrow somehow was a +1. SO why was he the one sitting??? I always hated the way Bruins handled Morrow. I'm still convinced he'll be a top 4, just not in Beantown.. I'm not sure what Morrow is but I agree, I have no problem with his game, he doesn't seem to make any more mistakes than anyone else, not sure what the issue could be. It would be tough on him to come in now but that's on the Bruin coaches IMO. Well really Kjc, that's all the kid is used too. They play him long enough for him to get his game back, then he looks go out there, at least to most or all of us here and then he gets replaced with no idea when he's playing again. I suspect this is his last season with Boston especially if Morrow had his way. I'm sure he's tired of this. I wouldn't doubt if Vegas picks him up if he is available..

Chara - No Krug - No McQuaid - No Miller - No Carlo - No Liles - Maybe Chiller - Doubtful McAvoy - No

this should be bulletin board material. im gettin a little concerned with the liberties these new founds assholes are taking. theyve been running around like crazy. now if they want to mess with the goalie...any contact what so ever i hope the bruins are not going to let that crap slide. i hope when they got back to boston the make some physicality happen including some gloves being dropped.

There has been more than a few defensive nightmarish games where various different D have looked suspect. Not saying he's better than anybody just that he's not that bad that he's a big drop off from C. Miller or Liles.

Chara - No Krug - No McQuaid - No Miller - No Carlo - No Liles - Maybe Chiller - Doubtful McAvoy - No Seabass, we all know Morrow has zero chance with the above list. This is more about when he did get games in. He always seemed to start off cautious, afraid to make a mistake cause he don't play on a regular basis. But as he plays, it seems to improve every game, more he plays the better he gets. I bet you ask Bruin fans anywhere and they would pick Morrow over Liles because Liles is a liability, and well past his prime. Seems everytime Morrow gets his game going, everyone talks about how well he's playing, I know I do and most here on the board. Since he came over in the Seguin deal, he has never really had a decent shot, especially under Julien. So if they're not gonna give him a fair shot, at least give him a chance to start up his career elsewhere cause he's not getting it here. And that's precisely what you're saying. Matt Bartkovski was rotting away in Providence all season and ended up in Calgary at the trade deadline. Flame commentators were saying last night it was a huge pick up and talked about how well he was playing. I think Morrow is even better than Bart and once given a decent shot, he's gonna prove it but no way will that be in Boston!!! Some can argue the same about Tommy Cross..He plays 2 games last season and plays well. But we don't hear mention of him until now. Is Cross ahead of Morrow? that we have no way of knowing unless we followed them in Providence but wait, Morrow hasn't played down there either. He hasn't played anywhere in 3 months and whatever way you look at it, it's not a fair way to handle any of your players. Morrow should of been in Pro. if they had no intention of playing him..But that's another story I guess!!

To have him in the pressbox for almost 3 months is nothing but stupidity on someone's part. Like I said, the best thing for Morrow is a ticket outta town. I honestly think he's a good player getting wasted and 3 month idle is only asking for trouble..

He's a rat alright yet he's sly as a fox..I hate that SOB almost as much as I hate Ovechkin right now..I lost all respect for him.. Seriously HOW can a Veteran like him do what he did to Carlo and get nothing for it??? To see him play and the kid not able to experience his 1st playoffs sickens me. I wouldn't make much of a hockey player cause if I hit a guy, even a clean hit and hurt him, I'd be telling him how sorry I am,especially a kid...

For every one of those guys on the list we can probably name two guys that turned out to be steals like Marchand, Looch, Bergie, Krejci, Pasta, Carlo. Just goees to show that you don't really know what you are going to become at the age of 18.
