FirstStar Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Not sure why we got him. At that point I would've just kept brown. Let him dress every 5 games or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTed3 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Not sure why we got him. At that point I would've just kept brown. Let him dress every 5 games or so. He's the new Mike Brown/Eric Tangradi/Nick Tarnasky/etc... just a waste of a roster spot, even if it's at the AHL level. We have plenty of youngsters that we could be playing, and if the club really did want a veteran as guidance, you don't want a goon who takes loads of penalties as your role model. Bad signing.

Agreed, there are bad penalties and useless, lazy penalties. If an opponent is bringing his elbows up and catching our young players high, around the head area and refs are letting it go... Then why not have a Brown to dish out some of their own medicine. Rather have a guy like that serving a possible 2 minutes than Gallagher. You always want some veteran guidance, but he is suppose to be a role model. Having a vet who stands up for teammates is one thing, one who takes stupid, useless penalties that only serve to give opponents a PP is counter productive and serves no purpose.

jennifer_rocket Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I have no idea why we continue to waste roster spots on players like this. I assume (fingers crossed) he's starting the year with the IceCaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regis22 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Can we not sign players anymore smaller players I assume (fingers crossed) he's starting the year with the IceCaps. He should be . But you never know with MT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramcharger440 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 This signing is on MB 100% we have no need or use for this guy at all even if other moves are made we are overflowing with depth players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fnveenie Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Even if he does play in the AHL can anybody say they expect Lefebvre not to use him like he did Stortini or Tarnasky or Scott? No matter what he's going to take ice time away from a young, skilled player. I guess we know where the team's priorities lie now. We want to be the 2011 Bruins.

BigTed3 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Even if he does play in the AHL can anybody say they expect Lefebvre not to use him like he did Stortini or Tarnasky or Scott? No matter what he's going to take ice time away from a young, skilled player. I guess we know where the team's priorities lie now. We want to be the 2011 Bruins. This is the problem. Lefebvre is a weak AHL coach and he doesn't win games nor does he develop future NHLers. He has frequently played career AHL goons in the top 6 over younger skill players (sound familiar to Habs fans?). He basically ruined Louis Leblanc's career by playing him with goons. So there should be zero trust given to SL to play Farnham correctly. Why even bother giving him the option of having him in the line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regis22 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Solution, get rid of SL and put a coach in there who will develop young players into NHL players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest habs1952 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Solution, get rid of SL and put a coach in there who will develop young players into NHL players Maybe SL is still there because MB has run out of foxhole buddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennifer_rocket Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Solution, get rid of SL and put a coach in there who will develop young players into NHL players Well... To be fair. I don't like SL either, but Andrighetto, Carr, Hudon, and McCarron all seem pretty close to making the jump permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farnham was a bad signing and he's a bad recall. Makes zero sense to bring up a guy who's best known for taking penalties. We don't need players like this.

tony5775 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 As long as it is Terry that he replaces, then its fine by me. He is so boring as he tries so hard to not make a mistake. Farnham on that 4th line will be fun to watch. He only has 58 penalty minutes on the farm, sure he will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
