So, How do you like Ryder?
He is on pace for around 30 goals and seems much more comfortable with Krejci and Wheeler. 4 million for him doesn't seem too bad anymore. How do you all feel?

Beautiful goal...hope people
finally get off his back for awhile...he is contributing nicely.
Nice home and home series. Keep up the good work.
Sure seems like Chia knows what he is doing...finally a good GM.
How do we like Ryder!? This was the only Bruins blog that I found after his signing that didn't like getting him. You little babies were still crying over the puss bag Hossa going to Detroit. Ryder won't fit in and a waste of money is all your posts said. Every other Bruins blog I read loved this signing, as did I. Now that you see how good he really is you changed your mind. Hopefully more of your readers jump on your bandwagon that the rest of Bruins Nation knew about months ago.
So what I want to know is not how everyone else likes Ryder because I knew that months ago but rather, how do YOU like Ryder?
I can't wait to hear Matt bash Ryder if he ever goes a game without a goal - F'N clueless bandwagon fans!
Neb your right. You must be first in line for receiving the "Most frequent B's blog site viewer that knows every one on each site and their position on each signing" award.
Congrats.
NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Not bad in the goals department, but he is much better than I expected without the puck. He is willing to do some dirty work in the corners. Overall I like his game and he is getting red hot when it comes to finding the net.
neb, your such an idiot.
I recall I wasn't upset over the signing, I just said im not sure if he was the solution. I know I was pro Hossa as well. I then said he could be a 35 goal scorer and had he gone from 14 25 30 30 he would have cost more, so people should realize he is a 30 goal scorer, but not the sexy name we all wanted. Thats ok though.
neb lets put u on a platform and carry you around the city of boston. clown.
youre all right i am a moron i wish i had never opened my mouth...oh and by the way im a closet habs fan bwahaha
Like I lot of other people, I thought that $4 mil/yr was too much. I still think it is (same with Sturm at 3.5 mil/yr). However, forget the goals for a second. This guy has bought into the system, playing solid 2-way hockey (a plus 12, I believe) and he had an enormous amount of chances 1/4 of the way thru the season and it just wasn't going in. I also think he needed time to find a connection and I think ultimately Krecji might be the guy. Regardless, he's 4th in team scoring, looks like he has found a little groove, and plays unselfish hockey. Keep in mind that he was in the doghouse of that faggot Carbonneau (most overrated coach in the league, fyi)and now he's with a guy who understands him. Is he worth $4 mil. Probably not, but his overall game doesn't make you notice how much he's paid..

What the fuck are you smoking NEB? Like a few here I have been watching every game since the 80's, probably when you were in your fucking diapers. Ever since the rumors last season myself and few others here warned against Bruins fans who thought Kessel for Hossa was a good idea.
When they signed Ryder, I praised the trade from day one, and I am a frequenter here, and read EVERY post. I'm sure you really did your homework before forming your idiotic statement about a few people, who may not even post here anymore.
There may be a couple numbnuts who post here, but your telling me your blog sites you relish are full of righteous posts reflecting 100% accuracy in the regard of what is right for the Bruins, right...so, why arent you and your brilliant blog buddies running the Bruins? Shit!!! We'll win the cup every year with the Blog Buddie Bruins Brass.
You are now an official "tool" on this board.
well put jefe. nebs only jealous due to the fact ryder almost has as many goals this season as he did last year when he played for nebs pussy team.
Living in Montreal, just seeing the people's faces when they see that Ryder's stats are just as good as their #1 guys is worth the 4 million! ( but then again ,I'm not the one who's paying it )
