Upset and triggered.
Bolduc with 3rd line minutes would be the leading scorer on the Blues. Just a simple truth guy

Re: Trouble in Toronto
He went through a five game stretch when he was off the top line i.e not with Suzuki and Caufield. Hence the MSL intervention to get him going His last seven goals have been either playing with caufield and suzuki or on the pp. Hugh McGing would be our leading scorer with those linemates. Contrast him with Demidov and Kapanen who are producing more or (in the case of Kap) the same as Bolduc and do not get the benefit of playing with the big boys. It's a little affirmative action. Doesn't take away from him as a player or that he has a bright future but let's not correlate that he would be necessarily putting up those numbers here. And he is only five goals behind Matthews.

What are Thomas and Buchnevich averaging?

Re: Trouble in Toronto
How many goals would Buch have playing with Caufield and Suzuki is the more salient question. Texier already has three goals in 12 games playing up and down the lineup. He isn't doing that in St.Louis if he made a return. Nor is Bolduc. Not with the current state of this team.

All guesswork. Fact is he would be the leading scorer on the Blues averaging under 14 minutes.
Re: Trouble in Toronto
In fairness, Matthews has a higher PPG average than ROR and The Thomas, 40 percent more goals than ROR and twice as many as The Thomas; and his +/- is six better than ROR and 9 better than The Thomas.IsDurbanodoingtime wrote: ↑19 Dec 2025 11:12 am Ryan O'reilly and Robert Thomas ( as well as Rasmus Andersson) all have more points this season than Austin Matthews.

"All guesswork. Fact is" you are talking in oxymorons. Actually we have a relative controlled sample example in texier who has played for both teams this season. We are just a collectively awful offensive team.theograce wrote: ↑19 Dec 2025 13:27 pmHow many goals would Bolduc have with Bucunvich’s opportunity?IsDurbanodoingtime wrote: ↑19 Dec 2025 13:18 pm How many goals would Buch have playing with Caufield and Suzuki is the more salient question.

So if Bolduc was playing 18+ mins all year and getting full opportunity in MTL…how many goals do you think he’d have right now?

Re: Trouble in Toronto
Thomas has been averaging a new linemate a game the entire season. Sometimes fresh off the street brand new, the same as the rest of the forwards, save for maybe a couple of two game stretches.theograce wrote: ↑19 Dec 2025 13:05 pmHe’s averaging under 14 minutes and would be leading goal scorer on the blues.IsDurbanodoingtime wrote: ↑19 Dec 2025 13:02 pm He went through a five game stretch when he was off the top line i.e not with Suzuki and Caufield.

I'm too afraid to look at his stats.

I’ll take Thomas and his 8.125 for the next 6 years over that…
Just my opinion.
