habby4ever Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 SCOUTING REPORT Assets: Owns good breakaway speed, a pretty hard shot and legit offensive instincts. Has size for the wing position and is a strong two-way player when he puts his mind to it. Scores goals in bunches. Flaws: Lacks the game-in and game-out presence of a star scoring winger. Plays better with an edge, but that aspect of his game also lacks consistency. Can run into nagging injuries. Takes games off. Career Potential: Inconsistent winger.

KeepsItReal Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Not much to show for it but I've liked Bourques' game most nights this year. If Pacio is out for any extended time they are going to have to really rely on him to bring some size to their forecheck on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, asside from his dissapearing act in Calgary, he's been pretty solid so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerplay2009 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Ya, asside from his dissapearing act in Calgary, he's been pretty solid so far. Agreed. Hopefully he doesn't get hurt again. He's been underrated the past couple years IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColRouleBleu Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I didn't have much time to check the hockey news today (none at all actually) and I learned about Bourque missing practice and being game time decision only after I got home from the Bell Centre. I could never have guessed he was sick from watching him pay tonight and had I known before the game, I wouldn't have picked him as the first goal scorer of the game. Thanks for that goal René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstStar Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Checking the boxscore of last nights game I was a little shocked to see that RB had no hits on the night. He had a breakaway, 3 shots but no hits. With patches and Prust out, he's the one were counting on to throw the body. I like that he got shots, almost had 2 breakaways, but jumped the gun. With us lacking size up front and in our top9, we need our big guys to throw the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs_Hockey_Nutz Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Rene is getting bounced around the line-up so far this season. I understand that it may be necessary for the team to do so, but it must have at least some impact on his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a goal, had one (almost 2) breakaways, but his role is right now, especially with a small team like ours, is to use his body and his physical game. It's like forgiving a dman for not playing well defensively simply because we were playing a lesser skilled team and the dman in question had a 2 point night. Especially with Patches and Prust out of the line up, it's even more important that he takes on the physical responsibilities. Granted it wasn't an issue against the ducks, but it is a big issue against the b's or leafs. He didn't even have one hit on the night, I don't expect him to have 20+ hits against a less physical, but skilled team, but at the very least, one hit per shift or every other shift, something, anything.

ColRouleBleu Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 One hit per shift? NOBODY ever did that. Subban is a physical player, he wont dish 28 hits per game. The goal is to take the puck from the opponent and organize an attacks to ultimately score. If the battle is in the corners, a hit is usually the tool to use but if it's not necessary and you take the puck from the opponent by other means, that's fine. Hitting for the sake of hitting is useless imo. Bourque can be and usually is physical when the play warrants it. If he can get the puck unchallenged and exchange passes with his teammates without one hit, how is this not acceptable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeanCountingHab Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Ya, if you average anything close to 2 hits per game on the year you're usually one of the league leaders in that category if not tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramcharger440 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I don't feel he has been playing that poorly, mind you I never had really high expectations in the first place. I feel he is doing ok, I would prefer more but this is what I think we are going to get from him. he is not cammy but then again cammy gets hurt a lot so the production will probably be about the same between them.

Habs_Hockey_Nutz Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 So... does Rene Bourque have any trade value for the Habs? I know it is just one game out of the line-up with a mysterious lower-body injury... but? And he is a player with size (when he wants to use it). I bet Danny Briere was happy with the last minute turn of events before game-time The net effect... Bourque out; Briere moved up; and White in. Did the Habs lose or gain by this? Could it continue? Let's talk about it... same time next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's talk about it... same time next week. I think the team played really well last night. I think the team would have been just as successful with Bourque in the lineup. Coaching staffs tend to stick with the same lineup that win the big game. Especially so when coming off of a scoring slump. I can see Bourque being a healthy scratch if he's ready for Friday, simply because of something like, "We don't want to mess with a winning lineup," type nonsense. Either way, he's not instrumental to our success... So. He can probably take a breather in the pressbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramcharger440 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 he is what he is no more or less. when he came here he got hyped up as a fairly solid offensive threat, which he can be from time to time but consistant he is not. we could trade him or keep him i don't think it will change much.
