ITS EARLY but is Broberg the Blues best dman since Pronger/Mac

[netboy65]

Yeas....... Again he is looking good. And yeas again. It's early.


. But, Why is this thread needed twice a week. Hell this might be the second since his last game. Oh yeah, and again. Praise Army... Small ego needs big praise.

I felt like doing another thread too because of how impressed I am and what the possibilities are here with him.

It's too early but man it's hard to suppress the optimism on what he could mean for this franchise.

I have not been as impressed. Maybe one thread impressed.
But his main issue came to play big last night... The kid doesn't know how to take a hit. And that's just as big a flaw as any other metric.

The problem with yet another thread... For me. Is it's brought to you and promoted by those who would cancel a poster for posting the opposite... Hypocrisy is as [shirt]. As loyalty.

Well, except it wasn’t some normal check along the boards or in the corner, Marner fell right on his knee

Wish Broberg nothing but the best, but it’s pretty clear to see he’s physically inferior and can be taken advantage of. Imagine that in the playoffs. He’s 23.5 years old as well.

He's only 23.... And being physical, is a confidence issue and usually a lacking skill. He'll come around. If he doesn't keep getting himself hurt, before he figures it out.

He’s 23.5. As an example, pietrangelo was leading the club in ice at 21-22 and playing playoffs. 80 games doing that.

Hedman and Doughty were doing more than Broberg with more responsibility when they were 19.

Tbone, bubbles, dsux and hairy have made their living here by calling a hard nosed HOFer soft.

But he is soft. :laughing-laughing:

[thetank2]

How well did he do in the playoffs last year?

Owner of the most embarrassing moment by any Blues captain EVER.

[theograce]

Nobody even knew who he was. Oil have about 15 players they cared about more.

He’s a boy still. The alphas are coming for him

[sdaltons]

How well did he do in the playoffs last year?

He was excellent over the last 10 games or so. You could tell he was starting to get comfortable.

[Moberly Blues]

Alpha is a word you no nothing about Theograce, sit behind a keyboard and act tough , we should sit and talk hockey sometime troll!!

Focus. The alphas are coming from Broberg as we saw. Brady hurt him bad. Focus

This kid.... again even in a loss last night he for me is again the Blues best player on the ice.

23 yrs old tied for the team lead with 9pts leads the team with +6, and doing it with limited to no PP 4th in ATOI

For NHL dmen 23 or under:

Clarke 11pts
Broberg 9 pts
Sanderson, Power 8pts

Schneider +8, Hartely, Broberg +6

Do we need to start talking a little more about exactly what Army may have landed here? This has to be viewed in the context also that lets be honest the Blues this week, no Thomas, no Joseph, no Leddy just arent that good. Also i have to believe another coach would have had Broberg as the QB on the #1 PP which is painfully obvious to anyone watching the Blues. But again this also a coach that runs Brayden Schenn out on a #1 PP, but i am digressing.
Time will tell but man at 23 and so far, early, Broberg is the #! LHD fans were asking for. What does Broberg look like at 26 or 27 years old, Hedman-ish? Maybe he puts on a few more pounds, hes not timid as it is, 10 hits in 11 games he has no problem finishing his checks. Hes just getting his feet wet, going to be great watching him develop.

Petro is a Blue HOFer and will have #27 in the rafters one day. And Bouwmeester was a very good defenseman, although we got him in the 2nd half of his career, when he wasn't as offensively productive.

But I would say Broberg has the chance to be right there behind Petro.

Can always tell when there a lot of pain in this place.

Brady and lil Mitchy have this place a buzzin

Petro is a great two way dman nobody with any cred disputes this, 54 pt season so far APs tops perhaps he eclipses that this year. SO FAR, VERY EARLY Brobie looks like he has the potential for more. Time will tell

I LOVE the optimism around Broberg, and feel it to. I want to believe, lol.

That said, I remember after ten games thinking that Barrett Jackman was the second coming of Scott Stevens.

Broberg reminds me a LOT of early Pronger, minus the mean side. I don't want to saddle him with those expectations. Here's hoping he's healthy again soon, and back to doing what got him mentions alongside such luminary Blues players. He can then decide who he wants to be

Shattenkirk got more…the league is different now. Much more offensive. Offense will never be Broberg’s issue. Away from the puck will be…as we saw many times already

The problem with you has always been player assessment and bias. You suck at the first and have too much of the second.
