In the fifth episode of the It Is What It Is Cast, Christopher Price and DJ Bean look at five first-round prospects and whether they are fits in New England. (Among those put in the spotlight are North Carolina’s Robert Quinn, Alabama’s Mark Ingram and Boston College tackle Anthony Castonzo.) They also discuss Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, a player on whom the two simply can’t agree. To check out the complete podcast, click here.

    Good move at least for this game. Add some toughness to the 4th line, and some speed to the 3rd. That said I hope Bourque is back in next game, and gets a decent shot at the 3rd line again.

    Oh thank goodness.  Ray Bourque possesses some of the most desired hockey genes in the world,  his wife must have the least desired, because this kid has none of his dads grit nor skill.  Its a good story, but this kid does not belong in the NHL.  I would still suit Ray up over his kid

  • streak time

    Keep the streak going.

    I still cant believe they even signed this kid to an NhL contract…he’s at best an AhL Level player

  • Titletown1

    Honestly, aside from being Ray’s kid, what does he bring to this line-up?

    There are hundreds of kids with talent superior to his languishing in the minors. Enough said….

    Chris is an AHL superstar and can be a legend in Providence, but he can’t play at the NHL level.  It has nothing to do with “pressing”, his size and lack of elite speed (Marchand) is the issue.  There is a reason no other NHL club gave him a chance by age 27, despite being and AHL all star. 

    McDermitt is fine for now, but the Bruins will have to address a 3rd line player in either Caron or a trade.   Paille helps make the 4th line effective with his speed.  

  • John Charbonneau13

    Oh thank God….painful to watch on the power play and penalty shots.  He does nothing particularly well.  Waste of a roster spot.

  • Deeman3

    Evidently you don’t know anything about the game to make such a stupid statement the kid is good I have seen him play but no wonder he is feeling pressure by the stupidly of people like yourself …

    Chris has proven himself at the international level and in the AHL. Look at the guy’s personal accomplishments and championships and then decide if he deserves a fair shot at the NHL.
    He does have to play under the microscope every time he touches the puck, always being compared to his Dad. This can’t be easy, especially wearing a Bruin’s jersey.
    Special teams is a big part of todays hockey and Chris excels in every area here. Just watch.
    Confidence will breed success here, he just a little more time.
